Abstract excerpt
Multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD) is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by a decreased activity of all known sulfatases. The deficiency of sulfatases was proposed to result from the lack of a co- or posttranslational modification that is common to all sulfatases and required for their catalytic activity. Structural analysis of two catalytically active sulfatases revealed that a cysteine residue that is...
