Glucosamine-6-sulphatase (G6S), a lysosomal enzyme found in all cells, is involved in the catabolism of heparin, heparan sulphate, and keratan sulphate. Deficiency of G6S results in the accumulation of undegraded substrate and the lysosomal storage disorder mucopolysaccharidosis type IIID (Sanfilipp

Glycoasparaginase cleaves the N-glycosidic linkage between asparagine and N-acetylglucosamine in the degradation of glycoproteins. In humans, a deficient activity of glycoasparaginase results in accumulation of glycoasparagines, causing the lysosomal storage disease aspartylglycosaminuria. Recombina
In the progeny of somatic cell hybrids formed by fusion of human lymphocytes and Chinese hamster mutant cells, a single human chromosome A2 was selectively retained when grown in appropriate medium. Spontaneous breakage of this chromosome in different hybrid subclones led to the assignment of the ge
A cDNA library from mink spleen was constructed by use of the phage hgtll. The library was screened using polyvalent serum raised against the mink immunoglobulin k chain. As a result, several clones expressing mink immunoglobulin h light chains were identified. Sequencing of one of the clones with a
Insulin-like growth-factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) constitute a family of structurally related proteins that specifically bind insulin-like growth factors and modulate their functions. In this study, the chromosomal localization was determined for the gene encoding IGFBP4, i.e. inhibitory-IGFBP. A
Mapping the long arm of Chromosome (Chr) 4 has assumed medical relevance with the establishment of linkage of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) to distal 4q markers. We have constructed a multipoint linkage map using DNA markers that map to the long arm of Chr 4. Segregation data were co
