Abstract
Three aminoglycosidic antibiotics: tobramycin, amikacin and sisomicin were administered to rats. There was an increase in the activity of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) excreted in the urine and this was characterized by a change in the isoenzyme profiles eluted from DEAE--cellulose. The largest increase in NAG activity was observed following sisomicin administration due mainly to an increase in the B-form of NAG with a concomitant fall in the intermediate (I-form). Separation of urinary proteins by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis demonstrated a mixed tubular and glomerular proteinuria following administration of sisomicin. It is concluded that the separation of NAG isoenzymes and urinary proteins provides valuable additional information on the nature and severity of antibiotic nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
1. Two "acid" forms, Am and Al, of beta-galactosidase from sheep kidney have been isolated and purified 349- and 154-fold, respectively, with a recovery of about 8%. 2. Their mol. wts were about 450,000 and 230,000, respectively. Am seems to be a dimer of Al. The aggregation is stimulated by NaCl. 3. The "acid" beta-galactosidase has a pH optimum between 4.0 and 5.0 for both forms. They are located in the lysosomes. The optimal temperature is 37 degrees C and 40 degrees C for Al and Am forms, respectively. 4. Three peaks were detected by isoelectric focusing. After sialidase treatment, these peaks were obtained at higher pH values. 5. The activation energy values were 10.75 and 11.72 kcal/mol for Am and Al, respectively. 6. A variety of chemicals were tested as possible activators or inhibitors. The enzyme is strongly inhibited by gamma-D-galactonolactone, and the kinetic evidence suggests a competitive inhibition in all cases.

Abstract
Renal transplant recipients were divided into five categories according to their clinical course from transplantation to their discharge from hospital. Total N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) activity in urine was determined using a chromogenic substrate 2-methoxy-4-(2'-nitrovinyl)-phenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranoside. The isoenzyme composition of the urine of each patient was determined by semi-automated DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Although raised NAG activity was found in stable transplant patients compared to controls, the level of activity was constant and no change in the isoenzyme profile was found. In reversible rejection there was a marked increase in the intermediate forms, particularly I2 and a concomitant fall in the relative amount of the A-form present but the profile became normal when the patient stabilised. Much more complex patterns were observed in patients who did not respond to treatment. Both the B and I forms were elevated with a fall in the A-form and in one case excretion of the serum As form was observed. The intermediate forms were always increased in rejection.

Abstract
Raman spectra of acid phosphatase (orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (acid optimum), EC 3.1.3.2) forms from rat liver in water solution, and infrared spectra of the same forms as thin films, have been investigated. The spectra show strong bands belonging to phosphodiester or phosphomonoester residues. These groups are modified during the postsynthetic modification of acid phosphatase and are probably connected with the process of bonding and splitting of mannose 6-phosphate and N-acetylglucosamine, in agreement with previous biochemical models for the intracellular transport of newly synthesized lysosomal hydrolases to lysosomes. Some other bands in the infrared spectra are assigned to vibrations of N-H groups which may belong to N-acetylglucosamine.

Abstract
Mucolipidosis III (ML III), or pseudo-Hurler polydystrophy, is an inherited childhood disorder characterized biochemically by low activities and abnormal electrophoretic patterns of multiple lysosomal enzymes in fibroblasts. The primary deficiency of ML III has been proposed to be in UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:lysosomal enzyme N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase. However, variation in this enzyme and in other biochemical properties of different ML III lines has been observed. Therefore, we investigated genetic heterogeneity within the disorder by complementation analysis. Heterokaryon cell fractions were generated by fusing together ML III fibroblast lines. When pairs of cells complemented, correction of lysosomal enzyme activities and electrophoretic patterns was observed. Twelve fibroblast lines from 10 sibships were analyzed and three distinct complementation groups were characterized. One complementation group represents the classical ML III disorder. A single cell line identifies a second complementation group. The cell lines comprising a third complementation group have a number of biochemical characteristics different from classical ML III and may represent a genetically distinct disorder.

Abstract
Certain characteristics of acid phosphatase in the adult male rat are under androgenic control. In further investigations of this control, (1) the polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic pattern of enzyme activity, (2) enzyme specific activity, and (3) the extent of inhibition of enzyme activity by 1-tartrate were examined for prostate, seminal vesicles, kidney, liver and testes from immature, maturing, young, and old mature adult rats. On gel electrophoresis, lysosomal acid phosphatase activity was found for all tissues from all groups of animals. Secretory enzyme was found for the prostate gland, but only after maturation (it appeared between days 28 and 35). At the same time the percent inhibition of activity by tartrate decreases. For the other tissues, the percent inhibition by tartrate increases for the liver and seminal vesicles but not for the kidney and testes. These changes may reflect alterations in lysosomal enzyme characteristics and can be related to known changes in androgen production throughout the life span of the rat.

Abstract
Isozyme patterns for five acid hydrolases, acid phosphatase (AP), aryl-sulfate (AS), beta-glucuronidase (beta-Glu), N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG) and beta-galactosidase (beta-Gal), were studied in isolated lysosomes from ethylnitrosourea (ENU)-induced gliomas and compared with normal and newborn rat brains. With polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), AP was separated into three bands, acidic (A), intermediate (B) and basic (C). In tumors and newborn brains there was a decrease in A and C but a significant increase in B. For NAG the acidic form was elevated by 9-19% in tumors, while newborn brains showed a 19% decrease. Even though the band intensities of beta-Glu in tumors and newborn brains were increased, the relative distribution remained similar to normal brain. With isoelectric focusing, five hydrolases were separated into four to five distinct forms. In ENU-induced gliomas the intensities of all peaks were considerably increased, but in most cases the number of isozymes remained the same. In tumors the isoelectric points were shifted towards the acidic side and smaller peaks in the basic regions merged into more acidic peaks. This effect was especially evident for AP and Gal. In the cases of AS, beta-Glu and NAG, consistently more activity was associated with acidic peaks than with the basic ones. Our data indicates that there is a significant increase in acidic forms of some of the lysosomal hydrolases studied in ENU-induced brain tumors.

Abstract
Lysosome formation was induced in cells of the renal medulla by feeding rats on a K+-deficient diet. The role of the endoplasmic reticulum in the production of acid phosphatase, a typical lysosomal enzyme, was examined. Lysosomal and microsomal fractions were prepared for study by differential centrifugation of homogenates of renal papilla and inner stripe of red medulla. Acid phosphatase activity in the microsomal fraction was distinguished from the activity in the lysosomal fraction in normal tissue by differences in pH optima, tartrate inhibition, distribution of multiple forms after polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and detergent-sensitivity. During progressive K+ depletion, acid phosphatase activity in both microsomal and lysosomal fractions of the tissue increased 3-fold. In the lysosomes, K+ depletion was associated with the appearance of a new band of acid phosphatase. The neuraminidase-sensitivity of this band on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis indicated that the enzyme protein had been modified by the addition of sialic acid residues. K+ depletion also altered the lysosomal enzyme so that thiol compounds were able to stimulate its activity.

Abstract
The human mucolipidoses (ML) are characterized by abnormal activities and abnormal electrophoretic patterns of fibroblast lysosomal hydrolases. These altered mobility patterns can be used to confirm the clinical diagnosis of the four mucolipidoses. The mobility patterns of one nonlysosomal and seven lysosomal enzymes were tested in fibroblasts from two ML I (sialidosis type 2, infantile), fifteen ML II (I-cell disease), eight ML III (pseudohurler polydystrophy), and one ML IV patients. A single sialidosis type 2, juvenile, line was also examined. Characteristic mobility patterns were found which identify each of the four mucolipidoses. Both the ML I and sialidosis type 2 juvenile lines displayed anodal mobility patterns, but distinct differences between the two disorders were observed. Lysosomal hydrolases from ML II lines demonstrated reduced activities or had altered mobilities. Differing electrophoretic patterns demonstrated the presence of at least two groups within the clinical phenotype diagnosed as ML II, indicating heterogeneity. The ML III lines showed normal electrophoretic patterns for most lysosomal hydrolases. The ML IV line expressed normal mobilities for every enzyme studied, with a single exception. The electrophoretic patterns of only beta-hexosaminidase, acid phosphatase-2, alpha-galactosidase, and esterase A4 were sufficient to identify and distinguish the different mucolipidosis types. Electrophoretic variation was also seen in liver but not kidney extracts from three ML II patients. beta-Hexosaminidase and alpha-mannosidase B secreted into the medium by ML II and ML III fibroblasts had mobility patterns different from normal and from their intracellular patterns. These data suggest that the mucolipidoses are genetically distinct with heterogeneity within them.

Abstract
To study the site of incorporation of sialic acid residues into glycoproteins in hepatocytes, we gave 40-g rats and 15-g Swiss albino mice a single intravenous injection of [3H]N-acetylmannosamine (8 mCi) and then sacrificed them after 2 and 10 min. To trace the subsequent migration of the labeled glycoproteins, we injected 40-g rats with 4 mCi of [3H]N-acetylmannosamine and sacrificed them after 20 and 30 min, 1, 4, and 24 h, and 3 and 9 d. Concurrent biochemical experiments were carried out to test the specificity of injected [3H]N-acetylmannosamine as a precursor for sialic acid residues of glycoproteins. In radioautographs from rats and mice sacrificed 10 min after injection, grain counts showed that over 69% of the silver grains occurred over the Golgi region. The majority of these grains were localized over the trans face of the Golgi stack, as well as over associated secretory vesicles and possibly GERL. In rats, the proportion of grains over the Golgi region decreased with time to 37% at 1 h, 11% at 4 h, and 6% at 24 h. Meanwhile, the proportion of grains over the plasma membrane increased from 4% at 10 min to 29% at 1 h and over 55% at 4 and 24 h; two-thirds of these grains lay over the sinusoidal membrane, and the remainder were equally divided over the lateral and bile canalicular membranes. Many silver grains also appeared over lysosomes at the 4- and 24-h time intervals, accounting for 15-17% of the total. At 3 and 9 d after injection, light microscope radioautographs revealed a grain distribution similar to that seen at 24 h, with a progressive decrease in the intensity of labeling such that by 9 d only a very light reaction remained. Because our biochemical findings indicated that [3H]N-acetylmannosamine is a fairly specific precursor for the sialic acid residues of glycoproteins (and perhaps glycolipids), the interpretation of these results is that sialic acid is incorporated into these molecules in the Golgi apparatus and that the latter then migrate to secretion products, to the plasma membrane, and to lysosomes in a process of continuous renewal. It is possible that some of the label seen in lysosomes at later time intervals may have been derived from the plasma membrane or from material arising outside the cells.

Abstract
Isoelectric focusing and concanavalin A-Sepharose chromatography were used to study the multiple forms and glycoprotein natures of so-called lysosomal hydrolases from psoriatic scales. Acid phosphatase appeared as 5 different forms with pI values of 6.5, 6.1, 5.8, 5.6 and 5.45. Seven isoenzymes of alpha-fucosidase were identified with pI values of 6.4, 6.2, 5.9, 5.75, 5.65, 5.4 and 5.2. Acid alpha-mannosidase activity appeared as one peak with pI value of 6.75 and a weak activity of neutral alpha-mannosidase was present with pI value of 6.7. Incubation of the extract with neuraminidase increased their pI values of acid phosphatase, alpha-fucosidase and alpha-mannosidase to the more basic forms. This finding suggests that epidermal acid phosphatase, alpha-fucosidase and alpha-mannosidase have some N-acetylneuraminic acid residues. In addition concanavalin A-Sepharose column chromatography was also performed to confirm the glycoprotein nature of acid phosphatase. This enzyme was bound to the column and not released from the column even with the treatment of 0.5 M NaCl, but the enzyme was eluted from the column with the treatment of alpha-methyl-D-glucoside.

Abstract
Two forms of beta-galactosidase from newborn rat epidermis could be separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Both enzymes showed similar enzymic properties. They had a pH optimum around 3.5--4.5 and the optimal temperature of these enzymes was approximately 60 degrees C. They were not affected by divalent cations, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(EDTA) and 2-mercaptoethanol(2-ME), while rho-chloromercuribenzoic acid (PCMB) was a strong inhibitor for each enzyme. These enzymes showed the same Km value (1.25 x 10(-4) M) towards 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-galactoside. However they had different isoelectric points at pH 6.3 and 9.0, respectively. Six different forms of beta-galactosidase activity were found by using isoelectric focusing. When the crude extract was incubated with neuraminidase before electrofocusing, the acidic forms of the enzyme were largely lost and converted to more basic forms without loss of the total activity. This finding suggests the glycoprotein nature of newborn rat epidermal beta-galactosidase.

Abstract
The occurrence of the two molecular forms, I and II, in the beta-glucuronidase of the liver (hepatopancreas) from the marine mollusc Littorina littorea L. has been demonstrated for the first time. The two forms have been purified 355-fold and 1262-fold, respectively. Form I and II of beta-glucuronidase behave differently on DEAE-cellulose chromatography, polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing (pH 5.5 and 4.2, respectively), optimum pH (4.4 and 3.4--4.1, respectively), thermal stability, Km (1.2 mM and 0.5 mM with p-nitrophenyl beta-D-glucuronide, 0.3 mM and 0.15 mM with phenolphthalein beta-D-glucuronide as substrates for form I and II, respectively) and V. Their molecular weight, estimated by gel filtration through Sephadex G-200, was about 250000 for both forms. Several subunits were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. This beta-glucuronidase is a glycoprotein, but sialic acid(s) were not detected. The enzyme was very active on synthetic substrates and also on hexasaccharides and tetrasaccharides containing glucuronic acid residues with beta 1 leads to 3 linkages; it had practially no activity on certain glycosaminoglycans. Hg2+ and glucaro-1,4-lactone were very effective inhibitors of this enzyme; the latter by a competitive mechanism.

Abstract
1. The multiple forms of acid phosphohydrolases in liver lysosomes of Sus scrofa domesticus and Gallus gallus domesticus were studied by use of isoelectric focusing. 2. Acid phosphatase was resolved into two forms in G. gallus domesticus and three forms in S. scrofa domesticus. Especially, two forms of G. gallus domesticus were different from each other in their enzymatic properties. 3. The pI values of acid ATPase agreed with those of acid phosphodiesterase in G. gallus domesticus. According to the data on activity ratios, however, these enzymes seemed not to be identical. 4. Except acid deoxyribonuclease, extraction by Triton X-100 of lysosomes increased the proportions of acidic forms of these enzymes. In particular, a new form of acid ribonuclease with pI 4.5 or 4.9 appeared in both cases of G. gallus domesticus and S. scrofa domesticus.

Abstract
Isoelectric focusing was performed with six acid hydrolases in serum and liver tissue. Neuraminidase-treated serum and liver tissue were also examined. In general, acid hydrolases in sera seemed to be more sialylated than those in liver tissue. Serum from one patient with I-cell disease with increased activity of some acid hydrolases was found to have a normal isoelectric focusing pattern. These findings are discussed with respect to the uptake mechanism of acid hydrolases in serum.

Abstract
I-cell disease (mucolipidosis II) is presented as a model for endo- and exo-cytosis phenomena in man. A hypothesis is presented for the structure of the carbohydrate recognition site on fibroblast-derived beta-D-N-acetylhexosaminidase that may extend to the other affected hydrolases and that is responsible for specific uptake of the enzyme by fibroblasts. The proposed neuraminidase deficiency in I-cell disease is discussed in the light of its significance in influencing the final sugar sequence in the carbohydrate structure of the recognition site.

Abstract
Fibroblasts were incubated in the presence of the anti-microtubular drugs colchicine, vinblastine and vincristine. In concentrations between 10nm and 1 mM these drugs stimulated the secretion of beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase and beta-glucuronidase, but not of beta-galactosidase. The endocytosis of beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase and alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase, but not of beta-glucuronidase, was inhibited at drug concentrations higher than 0.1 micrometer. Formation, secretion and association with the cell membrane of sulphated proteoglycans were not affected by anti-microtubular drugs. Endocytosis of sulphated proteoglycans and their subsequent degradation was inhibited by drug concentrations above 0.1 micrometer. The inhibition of intracellular glycosaminoglycan degradation led to a moderate storage of these compounds. These results suggest that microtubules participate in the control of secretion and endocytosis of lysosomal enzymes, and in the endocytosis and degradation of lysosomal substrates such as sulphated proteoglycans.

Abstract
1. The beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.30) activities of human, pig, calf, lamb, rat and rabbit liver and plasma have been investigated. 2. All preparations had maximum activity between pH 4.0 and 4.5 and Km values with the substrate 4-methylumbelliferyl-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranoside ranged from 0.54 to 2.54 mM. 3. The isoenzyme profiles of liver and plasma beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity were compared using DEAE-cellulose chromatography. In all species the major anionic component of liver (beta-N-acetylglucsaminidase A) was eluted at a higher salt concentration than the most anionic plasma isoenzyme. 4. The plasma beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase A isoenzyme of all species contained sialic acid residues whereas only the rabbit, pig and calf liver isoenzymes were sialylated.

Abstract
beta-D-Galactosidase and beta-D-glucosidase activities were determined in homogenates of marmoset kidney by using the appropriate 4-methylumbelliferyl glycoside, beta-D-Galactosidase activity was separated into two main components by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, starch-gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. One form designated A had a pI of 5.1, was loosely bound to DEAE-cellulose at pH7.0, remained near the origin on starch-gel electrophoresis at pH 7.0 and had an apparent molecular weight of 160000. The second beta-D-galactosidase component, designated B, was associated with the total beta-D-glucosidase activity, had a pI of 4.3, was firmly bound to DEAE-cellulose, migrated rapidly towards the anode on starch-gel electrophoresis and had an apparent molecular weight of 50000. The optimum pH values of beta-D-galactosidase A and B were 4.5 and 6.0 respectively. beta-D-Galactosidase A was activated by 0.1 M-NaC1 but the activity of the B form was inhibited by 1 M-NaC1 at pH 4.5. beta-D-galactosidase had a bimodal distribution, the A form being recovered in the lysosomal fraction whereas the B form was present in the soluble fraction, as was the major portion of the beta-D-glucosidase activity. The lysosomal and soluble forms were further characterized by DEAE-cellulose chromatography.

Abstract
1. The elution profiles of eleven acid hydrolases from human liver and plasma were directly compared using a system whereby a single salt gradient was simultaneously applied to two DEAE-cellulose chromatographic columns. 2. Plasma alpha-L-fucosidase, alpha-mannosidase, alpha-galactosidase and alpha-glucosidase isoenzymes were eluted at higher salt concentrations than the corresponding liver isoenzymes whereasbeta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucosidase, exo-1,4-beta-xylosidase and alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase isoenzymes were eluted at lower salt concentrations. The elution profiles of beta-glucuronidase and acid phosphatase weremore complex. 3. After incubation with neuraminidase most plasma hydrolases were eluted at lower salt concentrations, however the elution patterns of beta-glucosidase, beta-xylosidase and acid phosphatase were not altered. 4. Preincubation with neuraminidase had no effect on the elution profiles of six liver hydrolases whereas the major isoenzymes of alpha-mannosidase, beta-galactosidase and alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase were eluted at markedly lower salt concentrations. Liver alpha-fucosidase and alpha-galactosidase were eluted at slightly lower salt concentrations afterincubation with neuraminidase. 5. The results are discussed in relation to thepathogenesis of Mucolipidosis II (I-cell disease), and the synthesis and packaging of lysosomal enzymes.

Abstract
Sulphatases B1alpha and B1beta (EC 3.1.6.1) have been prepared as apparently homogeneous proteins by chromatography on ConA-Sepharose. Both have a mol. wt. of 56 000, and E1%280nm of 17 and a turnover number of 8600 min-1 with nitrocatechol sulphate as substrate. Their amino acid compositions are identical: like sulphatase A, the sulphatases B are rich in proline and yield glucosamine on hydrolysis. They are not altered by treatment with neuraminidase. Both fractions show strong UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulphatase activity, weak iduronate sulphatase activity, but no significant heparan N-sulphatase activity. It is suggested that the physiological activity of sulphatase B is that of the N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulphatase which is lacking in the Maroteaux-Lamy Syndrome.

Abstract
Rat seminal-vesicle secretion was studied in vitro in a slice-incubation system. Seminal-vesicle slices were preincubated with 32Pi for 15 min, rinsed, and incubated in an isotope-free 'chase' medium for up to 4h. Gland slices spontaneously discharged protein, three lysosomal hydrolases and trichloroacetic acid-insoluble 32P into the medium in a time- and temperature-dependent manner. Testosterone (10 muM) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (1 mM) stimulated the discharge of protein, acid hydrolases and trichloroacetic acid-insoluble 32P, and also stimulated the incorporation of 32Pi into trichloroacetic acid-insoluble components. The acid phosphatase and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase isoenzymes were separated by isoelectric focusing. These hydrolases were secreted into the medium as acidic isoenzymes, presumably contained within primary lysosomes, whereas they occurred largely as less acidic and basic isoenzymes in the glandular tissue.

Abstract
Neuronal cell bodies, isolated in bulk from 8-day-old rat cerebral cortices, were incubated in the presence of a 3H-labelled amino acid mixture, and subcellular fractions isolated by differential centrifugation. The particulate fractions were frozen/thawed in 0.20 M-sucrose/0.1 M-KCl [Selling et al. (1973) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 315, 128-146] and the profiles of acid-insoluble radioactivity and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (glucosaminidase) activity compared in the resulting non-sedimentable fractions by DEAE-cellulose chromatography and cellulose acetate electrophoresis. Radioactivity and glucosaminidase activity co-migrated to a significant extent. Electrophoresis revealed that after 1 min of incubation 42% of the radioactivity of the non-sedimentable microsomal fraction after freezing and thawing co-migrated with an intensely fluorescent band of glucosaminidase activity. Since the pellet fraction obtained on freezing/thawing the microsomal fraction contained up to 75% of the RNA, 95% of the radioactivity and 45% of the glucosaminidase, a detailed study of the association between its radioactivity and nascent glucosaminidase activity was undertaken. After 1 and 2 min of incubation, followed by centrifugation of the microsomal pellet on 35-60% (w/v) sucrose density gradients, radioactivity and glucosaminidase activity exhibited parallel profiles in the region of heavy polyribosomes and at the top of the gradient which contains spontaneously released nascent polypeptide chains. DEAE-cellulose chromatography of these chains revealed glucosaminidase A to be the principal nascent glucosaminidase component, with glucosaminidases B and C as minor peaks. After 2 min of incubation, all of the glucosaminidase components appeared labelled, and glucosaminidase A exhibited two distinct sub-components. The pattern of glucosaminidase labelling in the soluble and microsomal fractions suggested that newly formed glucosaminidase molecules traverse both the cellular sap and the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. Only glucosaminidase A reacted specifically with concanavalin A and radioactive glucosaminidase A could be successfully regenerated by treatment with alpha-methyl-D-glucoside. Glucosaminidase A and a substantial portion of the radioactivity associating with it could be readily converted into glucosaminidase B by re-chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and by reaction of the concanavalin A-glucosaminidase A complex with methyl glucosides.

Abstract
Carboxypeptidase Y from Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains 14% mannose, the only neutral sugar present. An antiserum can be raised in rabbits which reacts with both the protein and the sugar moieties of the enzyme. This antiserum also precipitates yeast invertase and yeast cell wall mannan. Thus carboxypeptidase Y, which is known to be localized in yeast vacuoles, is very probably a mannoprotein. Tunicamycin inhibits the apparent formation of carboxypeptidase Y to a similar extent as that of the externally localized mannoprotein, invertase. No accumulation of an inactive nonglycosylated or partly glycosylated carboxypeptidase Y occurs as determined by the immunoprecipitation technique. Tunicamycin also inhibits the apparent formation of proteinase A, whereas it does not affect the increase in the activities of a number of other enzymes. It is suggested that in the synthesis of glycoproteins there exists a regulatory link between the synthesis of their polypeptide chains and the reactions involved in their glycosylation.

Abstract
Rats were injected with labeled Kunitz protease inhibitor and killed at various times thereafter. Radioactivity was measured in various fractions of kidney homogenates in order to study the time-dependent fixation to different cell organelles, expecially the transition from the brush border to lysosome fraction. With short survival periods (up to 5 min), the renal protease inhibitor is recovered nearly completely with the brush border fraction. With longer periods, a shift towards particles with higher densities and higher beta-glucuronidase activities takes place. Similar results have been achieved with insulin. Lysosomes were prepared and subfractionated following i. v. administration of the protease inhibitor or insulin. The radioactivity of the peptides was found in the lysosomal range of density. According to our present and previous results, the renal pathway of the protease inhibitor consists of 3 steps: binding to the brush border, reabsorption into micropinocytotic vesicles and phagosomes, and final enrichment in phagolysosomes with subsequent degradation. We suggest this type of transport to be representative for peptides in general.

Abstract
Isoelectric focusing was used to investigate the multiple forms of acid phosphatase, arylsulfatase, beta-glucuronidase, beta-galactosidase and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase in the following, previously characterized subcellular fractions from rat kidney: a special rough microsomal fraction, enriched up to 9-fold over the homogenate in acid hydrolases; a smooth microsomal fraction; a Golgi membrane fraction enriched about 2.5-fold in acid hydrolases and 10- to 20-fold in several glycosyl transferases; and a lysosomal fraction enriched up to 25-fold in acid hydrolases. The electro-focusing behavior of the hydrolases in these fractions was markedly sensitive to the autolytic changes that occur under acidic conditions, even at 4 degrees C. Autolysis was minimized by extracting fractions in an alkaline medium (0.2% Triton X-100, 0.1 M sodium glycinate buffer, pH 10, 0.1 % p-nitrophenyloxamic acid) and adding p-nitrophenyloxamic acid (0.1 %), AN INHIBITOR OF LYSOSOMAL NEURAMINIDASE AND cathepsin D, to the pH gradient. The enzymes in the lysosomal fraction displayed a characteristic bimodal or trimodal distribution. Arylsulfatase, beta-glucuronidase and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase occurred in an acidic form with an isoelectric point of 4.4, and a basic form with an isoelectric point of 6.2, 6.7 and 8.0, respectively. Acid phosphatase and beta-galactosidase occurred in an acidic, intermediate and basic form with isoelectric points of about 4. 1, 5.6 and 7.4, respectively. In the special rough microsomal fraction these enzymes were mostly in a basic form with isoelectric points between 7.5 and 9; these were 1-2 units higher than the corresponding basic forms in the lysosomal fraction. Treatment of extracts of the rough microsomal fraction with bacterial neuraminidase raised the isoelectric points of all five hydrolases by 1-2.5 units, indicating the presence of some N-acetylneuraminic acid residues in these basic glycoenzymes. The hydrolases in the Golgi fraction were largely in an acidic form with isoelectric points similar to or lower than those of the corresponding acidic components in the lysosomal fraction. The hydrolases in the smooth microsomal fraction showed isoelectric-focusing patterns intermediate between those in the rough microsomal and the Golgi fractions. These findings support the following scheme for the synthesis, transport and packaging of the lysosomal enzymes. Each hydrolase is synthesized in a restricted portion of the r

Abstract
Isoelectric focusing was used to study the multiple forms of acid phosphatase, arylsulfatase, beta-glucuronidase and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase in lysosomes isolated from rat kidney. The isoelectric points of the main protein and hydrolase peaks were 1-1.5 units lower when electrofocusing was done in a pH 3-10 gradient than in a pH 10-3 gradient, apparently because the lysosomal constituents aggregated strongly at their isoelectric points and tended to settle somewhat in the gradient due to gravity. In the extended pH gradient the acidic form of each hydrolase occurred as asingle, relatively discrete peak. However, when pooled acidic fractions were refocused in a restricted pH gradient (pH 6-3 or 3-5) multiple acidic enzyme and protein components were resolved with isoelectric points between 2.7 and 5.1. When autolysis was minimized by extracting lysosomal fractions at alkaline pH (0.2% Triton X-100, 0.1%p-nitrophenyloxamic acid, 0.1 M glycine buffer, pH9) and including 0.1%p-NITROPHENYLOXAMIC ACID, AN INHIBITOR OF LYSOSOMAL NEURAMINIDASE AND CATHEPSIN D, in the pH gradient, arylsulfatase, beta-glucuronidase and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase occurred in two forms, an acidic form with an isoelectric point of about 4.4, and a basic form with an isoelectric point close to 6.2, 6.7 and 8.0, respectively. Acid phosphatase occurred in three forms with isoelectric points of 4.1, 5.6 and 7.4. When some autolytic digestion was permitted by extracting lysosomal fractions in an acidic medium (0.2% Triton X-100, 0.1 M sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.2) AT 0-4DEGREES C and omitting p-nitrophenyloxamic acid from the gradient, the acidic form of beta-glucuronidase and the intermediate form of acid phosphatase were lost, the isoelectric points of the acidic forms of acid phosphatase, arylsulfatase and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase were increased 0.6-1.2 units, and the isoelectric point of the basic forms of acid phosphatase, arylsulfatase and beta-glucuronidase was increased 0.5 unit. When lysosomal extracts were incubated with bacterial neuraminidase before electrofocusing, the acidic forms of acid phosphatase, arylsulfatase and beta-glucuronidase were largely lost, the isoelectric point of the acidic form of beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase was increased from 4.5 to 6.4, and the isoelectric points of the basic forms of all four hydrolases were increased 0.5-1.5 units. Autoincubation of lysosomal extracts in vitro at pH 5.2 PRODUCED SIMILAR, THOUGH LESS MARKED, effects. cont'd
