To remain active and stable, they associate with PPCA [protective protein cathepsin A (CTSA)] into a high-molecular weight lysosomal multienzyme complex (LMC), of which several forms exist. Genetic defects in these three proteins cause the lysosomal storage diseases GM1-gangliosidosis/mucopolysaccharidosis IV type B, sialidosis, and galactosialidosis, respectively. To better understand the interactions between these enzymes, we determined the three-dimensional structure of the murine LMC core. This 0.8-MDa complex is composed of three GLB1 dimers and three CTSA dimers, adopting a triangular architecture maintained through six copies of a unique GLB1-CTSA polar interface. Mutations in this contact surface that occur in GM1-gangliosidosis prevent formation of the LMC in vitro. These findings may facilitate development of therapies for lysosomal storage disorders. |
