Crystal Structure of the Mannose-6-Phosphate Uncovering Enzyme [PDF]
Most lysosomal hydrolytic enzymes reach their destination via the mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) pathway. The enzyme N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphodiester α-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAGPA, or "uncovering enzyme") catalyzes the second step in the M6P tag formation, namely the removal of the masking N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) portion. Defects in this protein

Disruption of the GDP-mannose synthesis pathway in Streptomyces coelicolor results in antibiotic hyper-susceptible phenotypes [PDF]
Actinomycete bacteria use polyprenol phosphate mannose as a lipid linked sugar donor for extra-cytoplasmic glycosyl transferases that transfer mannose to cell envelope polymers, including glycoproteins and glycolipids.

The Cation-dependent Mannose 6-Phosphate Receptor
The structural requirements for oligomerization and the generation of a functional mannose 6-phosphate (Man-6-P) binding site of the cation-dependent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CD-MPR) were analyzed. Chemical cross-linking studies on affinity-purified CD-MPR and on solubilized membranes containing the receptor indicate that the CD-MPR exists as a ...

D-mannose transport and metabolism in isolated enterocytes [PDF]
D-mannose transport and metabolism has been studied in enterocytes isolated from chicken small intestine. In the presence of Na+, the mannose taken up by the cells either remains free, is phosphorylated, is catabolized to H2O, or becomes part of membrane

Lysosomal Biology and Function: Modern View of Cellular Debris Bin
Lysosomes are the main proteolytic compartments of mammalian cells comprising of a battery of hydrolases. Lysosomes dispose and recycle extracellular or intracellular macromolecules by fusing with endosomes or autophagosomes through specific waste ...

Neurologic abnormalities in mouse models of the lysosomal storage disorders mucolipidosis II and mucolipidosis III γ. [PDF]
UDP-GlcNAc:lysosomal enzyme N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase is an α2β2γ2 hexameric enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of the mannose 6-phosphate targeting signal on lysosomal hydrolases.

New mannose derivatives: The tetrazole analogue of mannose-6-phosphate as angiogenesis inhibitor [PDF]
Two novel compounds with mannose-derived structure, bearing a tetrazole (compound 3) and a sulfone group (compound 4) in terminal position, have been prepared from methyl α-d-mannopyranoside in reduced number of steps. The angiogenic activity of 3 and 4 has been screened using the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) method.
