    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Enzymology
    • Protein Purification

    Background:

    • Lysosomal beta-glucosidase is crucial for glycosphingolipid metabolism.
    • Deficiency in this enzyme causes Gaucher disease.
    • Efficient purification methods are needed for biochemical and therapeutic studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate novel affinity supports for lysosomal beta-glucosidase purification.
    • To compare the efficacy of substrate analog ligands with other affinity ligands.
    • To characterize the purified enzyme's properties.

    Main Methods:

    • Synthesis of two Sepharose-bound substrate analogs: 6'-aminohexanoyl-(2-N-sphingosyl-O-beta-D-glucoside) and 6'-aminohexyl-dodecanedioyl-1-(2-N-sphingosyl-1-O-beta-D-glucoside).
    • Sequential affinity chromatography using the synthesized supports.
    • Enzyme activity assays, SDS-PAGE, and isoelectric focusing for enzyme characterization.
    • Determination of kinetic parameters (Km, Vmax) and inhibitor binding constants (Ki).

    Main Results:

    • The substrate analog affinity supports demonstrated high purification capacities (0.1 and 0.15 mg/ml).
    • Purified lysosomal beta-glucosidase showed a specific activity of 75 µmol/min/mg and apparent homogeneity (single band at 67,000 MW on SDS-PAGE).
    • Four molecular forms of the enzyme were identified by isoelectric focusing.
    • The enzyme effectively hydrolyzed its natural substrate and synthetic analogs, with determined kinetic parameters.
    • Substrate analog supports provided 100- to 1000-fold greater capacity and 8- to 40-fold greater purification compared to other ligands.

    Conclusions:

    • Sepharose-bound substrate analogs are highly effective ligands for lysosomal beta-glucosidase purification.
    • These novel affinity supports offer superior capacity and purification efficiency.
    • The characterized enzyme properties provide valuable insights for further research and potential therapeutic applications.
