A specific acid α-glucosidase in lamellar bodies of the human lung

Abstract: In the present investigation, we have demonstrated that three lysosomal-type hydrolases, alpha-glucosidase, alpha-mannosidase and a phosphatase, are present in lamellar bodies isolated from adult human lung. The hydrolase activities that were studied, all showed an acidic pH optimum, which is characteristic for lysosomal enzymes. The properties of acid alpha-glucosidase in the lamellar body fraction and that in the lysosome-enriched fraction were compared. Using specific antibodies against lysosomal alpha-gluc… Show more

“…Furthermore, the expression of LAMP-2 in the MLBs of GlcNAc-TV-transfected Mv1Lu cells is consistent with the previously described lysosomal nature of this organelle (Balis and Conen, 1964;Hatasa and Nakamura, 1965;Goldfischer et al, 1968;Hoffman, 1972;DiAugustine, 1974;Heath et al, 1976;Hook and Gilmore, 1982;de Vries et al, 1985;Voorhut et al, 1992). To assess the role of lysosomal degradation on MLB expression, M1 cells were treated with the lysosomal Figures 4E and 5A).…”

“…© 2000 by The American Society for Cell Biology 255 Heath et al, 1976;Hook and Gilmore, 1982;de Vries et al, 1985). It has been previously suggested based on morphological criteria that MLBs form via cellular autophagy (Balis and Conen, 1964;Sorokin, 1967;Flaks and Flaks, 1972;Stratton, 1978).…”

“…Surfactant is released to the alveolar space by exocytosis from intracellular storage organelles termed lamellar bodies which contain the majority of the components of the surfactant. During active secretion of contents from the lamellar bodies to the alveoli and during the surfactant recycling process, a variety of hydrolases have been related to these organelles (de Vries et al, 1985;DiAugustine, 1974;Edelson et al, 1988;Gilder et al, 1981;Hook & Gilmore, 1982;S.L. Young et al, 1993), many of which have lysosomal-type degradative functions.…”
