A deficiency of glycoprotein neuraminidase (sialidase, acylneuraminyl hydrolase, EC 3.2.1.18) activity was found in fibroblasts from a patient with the clinical symptoms of Morquio disease type A (mucopolysaccharidosis IV A). Residual neuraminidase activity was about 5% of the mean normal activity. N-Acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate (GalNAc-6-S) sulfatase activity was reduced to less than 1% of normal with a pH-optimum of 3.0 as expected for the severe form of Morquio disease. In peripheral leucocytes of the patient, however, neuraminidase activity but not Ga1NAc-6-S sulfatase activity was in the normal range. Mixing experiments excluded the presence of excessive amounts of inhibitors of neuraminidase activity.
在一名患有A型莫尔基奥氏病(黏多糖贮积症IV A型)临床症状的患者的成纤维细胞中,发现糖蛋白神经氨酸酶(唾液酸酶、酰基神经氨酸水解酶,EC 3.2.1.18)活性存在缺陷。残余神经氨酸酶活性约为正常平均活性的5%。N-乙酰半乳糖胺-6-硫酸盐(GalNAc-6-S)硫酸酯酶活性降至正常水平的不到1%,其最适pH为3.0,这与莫尔基奥氏病的严重形式预期相符。然而,在该患者的外周血白细胞中,神经氨酸酶活性处于正常范围,而GalNAc-6-S硫酸酯酶活性则不然。混合实验排除了存在过量神经氨酸酶活性抑制剂的可能性。
