Stereospecific GPG acylation by CLN8 drives BMP biosynthesis and its loss leads to Batten disease
2025-12-20
Abstract excerpt
Loss-of-function mutations in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein CLN8 cause Batten disease, a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder 1 . Together with the lysosomal enzyme CLN5, CLN8 mediates the biosynthesis of bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP), a phospholipid essential for lysosomal function and distinguished by its unique S,S stereochemistry 2,3 . However, the role of CLN8 in BMP synthesis ha...
