title: Sulfated oligosaccharides in human lysosomal enzymes.
abstract: Cathepsin D, arylsulfatase A and the alpha-chain of beta-hexosaminidase are synthesized in human fibroblasts as sulfated polypeptides. The sulfate is added posttranslationally. Its half-life is less than one-tenth of that of the respective polypeptide chains. The sulfate residues were found on asparagine-linked oligosaccharides sensitive to endoglycosidase F and peptide: N-glycosidase F and resistant to endoglycosidase H. Inhibition of formation of complex type oligosaccharides by 1-deoxy-manno-nojirimycin prevented sulfation, indicating that the sulfate residues were added to complex type oligosaccharides.
