Isolation and characterization of major urinary amino acid O-glycosides and a dipeptide O-glycoside from a new lysosomal storage disorder (Kanzaki disease). Excessive excretion of serine- and threonine-linked glycan in the patient urine.
Four major sialo compounds, termed GP-M1, GP-D1, GP-D2, and GP-D3 have been isolated from the urine of a novel glycoprotein storage disorder patient with angiokeratoma corporis diffusum which was discovered by Kanzaki et al. (Kanzaki, T., Yokota, M., Mizuno, N., Matsumoto, Y., and Hirabayashi, Y. (1989) Lancet April 22, 875-877). Based on the results of fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, methylation analysis, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, their chemical structures were concluded to be: (formula; see text) The yields of GP-M1, GP-D1, GP-D2, and GP-D3 were approximately 15, 6, 50, and 5 mg/liter of urine, respectively. The most major compound GP-D2, was further purified into single molecular species, threonine and serine type, by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography. NMR analysis of the two purified compounds with single molecular species showed that the chemical shifts of anomeric protons of GalNAc were significantly different between threonine- and serine-linked GalNAc. Neither mannose-containing glycopeptides nor glycosphingolipids were excreted in the patient urine. From these results, this disease is thought to be caused by the deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme(s) acting on O-linked glycan chains.
