Homologous modeling of the lysosomal protective protein/carboxypeptidase L: structural and functional implications of mutations identified in galactosialidosis patients.

Abstract excerpt

The deficiency of the lysosomal protective protein/carboxypeptidase L (CARB L) causes the lysosomal storage disorder, galactosialidosis, characterized by neuraminidase and beta-galactosidase deficiencies in patients' cells. The three enzymes form a complex inside the lysosome, and the neuraminidase and beta-galactosidase deficiencies are secondary to CARB L deficiency. Sequence similarity and common enzymological...
