Rag GTPases are cardioprotective by regulating lysosomal function. [PDF]
The Rag family proteins are Ras-like small GTPases that have a critical role in amino-acid-stimulated mTORC1 activation by recruiting mTORC1 to lysosome.

Complicated spastic paraplegia in patients with AP5Z1 mutations (SPG48) [PDF]
Objective: Biallelic mutations in the AP5Z1 gene encoding the AP-5 ζ subunit have been described in a small number of patients with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) (SPG48); we sought to define genotype–phenotype correlations in patients with ...

Engineering of GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase for production of highly phosphorylated lysosomal enzymes for enzyme replacement therapy [PDF]
Several lysosomal enzymes currently used for enzyme replacement therapy in patients with lysosomal storage diseases contain very low levels of mannose 6-phosphate, limiting their uptake via mannose 6-phosphate receptors on the surface of the deficient ...

CARDIOVASCULAR INVOLVEMENT IN POMPE DISEASE [PDF]
Lysosomal storage diseases are a diverse group of monogenic disorders which are as defined by defects in lysosomal function. The heart is part of the clinical phenotype of lysosomal storage diseases.

The Continuous Challenge of Diagnosing patients with Fabry disease in Argentina : Genotype, Experiences, Anecdotes, and New Learnings [PDF]
The lysosomal storage disorder Fabry disease (FD) is caused by pathogenic mutations in the α-galactosidase A gene, localized in X chromosome. Deficient enzymatic activity of the product of this gene, the lysosomal hydrolase α-galactosidase A, leads to ...

Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Lysosomal Storage Disorders
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) describe a heterogeneous group of rare inherited metabolic disorders that result from the absence or loss of function of lysosomal hydrolases or transporters, resulting in the progressive accumulation of undigested ...

Cytosolic Glucosylceramide regulates endolysosomal function in Niemann-Pick type C disease [PDF]
A new paradigm for Niemann-Pick C disease is presented where lysosomal storage leads to a deficit in cytoplasmic glucosylceramide (GlcCer) where it performs important functions.

Gaucher Disease—Correlation of Lyso-Gb1 with Haematology and Biochemical Parameters
Background/Objectives: Gaucher disease (GD) is a lysosomal disorder caused by a deficiency of β-glucosidase. Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) include enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and substrate reduction therapy (SRT). Glucosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb1)

Lysosomal exocytosis and lipid storage disorders
Lysosomes are acidic compartments in mammalian cells that are primarily responsible for the breakdown of endocytic and autophagic substrates such as membranes, proteins, and lipids into their basic building blocks. Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a
