Fibroblasts of 4 patients affected with mucosulfatidosis (multiple sulfatase deficiency, Austin variant of metachromatic leukodystrophy) were assayed for activities of the 5 sulfatases known to degrade mucopolysaccharides. There were iduronide 2-sulfate sulfatase, sulfamidase, N-acetylgalactosamine 6-sulfate sulfatase, arylsulfatase B (N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfate sulfatase) and N-acetylglucosamine 6-sulfate sulfatase. The activities of these 5 sulfatases were severely depressed, confirming the known deficiency of arylsulfatase B and the absence of the Hunter and Sanfilippo III A corrective factors that have iduronide 2-sulfate sulfatase and sulfamidase activity, respectively. Together with earlier reports on the deficiencies of arylsulfatases A and C, cholesteryl sulfatase and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfatase, mucosulfatidosis is now characterized by the deficiency of 9 different sulfatases. Mucosulfatidosis is a disease characterized by the deficiency of multiple sulfatases in cultured fibroblasts in contrast to the deficiencies of single sulfatases that are known for the 5 mucopolysaccharide degrading sulfatases and arylsulfatase A. The genes responsible for the expression of the sulfatases are located both on autosomes and the X chromosomes. Mucosulfatidosis fibroblasts should provide an experimental model for the study of a hitherto unknown common mechanism responsible for the expression of sulfatase activities.
