摘要:Newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes acquire phosphomannosyl units, which allow binding of the enzymes to the mannose 6-phosphate receptor and subsequent translocation to lysosomes. In some cell types, this sequence of events is necessary for the delivery of these enzymes to lysosomes. Using a slime mold lysosomal hydrolase as a probe, we have identified three murine cell lines that lack the receptor and one line that contains very low (3%) receptor activity. Each of these lines synthesizes the mannose 6-phosphate recognition marker on its lysosomal enzymes, but, unlike cell lines with high levels of receptor, the cells accumulate oligosaccharides containing phosphomonoesters. The receptor-deficient lines possess high levels of intracellular acid hydrolase activity, which is contained in dense granules characteristic of lysosomes. The data suggest that intracellular mechanisms independent of the mannose 6-phosphate receptor must exist in some cells for the delivery of acid hydrolases to lysosomal organelles.
