Human acid β-glucosidase (β-Glc, D-glucosyl-N-acylsphingosine glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.45) is a membrane associated lysosomal enzyme which cleaves the βglucosidic linkage of its natural substrate, glucosylceramide (GC), and synthetic β-glucosides1,2. The defective activity of this enzyme leads to the subtypes and variants of Gaucher disease3. The normal mature polypeptide has a predicted molecular mass of 55,834 Da4,5. The normal enzyme also contains 7- 15% carbohydrate6,7 and extensive glycosidic remodelling occurs post-translationally in cultured fibroblasts8,9. Except for signal sequence clipping, no other proteolytic processing has been detected with the human enzyme from several sources7,9. A catalytically essential carboxylate, Asp443, has been provisionally assigned near the carboxy terminus of this 497 amino acid enzyme by using the affinity label. Bromo[3H]conduritol B epoxide, an active sitedirected covalent inhibitor10. In addition, kinetic studies have suggested the presence of three subsites within the active site with specificities for the glycon head group and the acyl or alkyl moieties of substrates and/or inhibitors11,12. These latter subsites influence apparent kcat values or binding constants, respectively11. Similar studies have also suggested a relatively hydrophilic region within the active site which is located at the junction of the three subsites and has been proposed to have specificity for the hydroxyl and amine group of sphingosine11. The glycon binding site contains residues for binding of properly configured hydroxyl groups at C-2, C-3 and C-4 of glucose as well as a residue with pKaapp=6.7 which is necessary for the formation of binary (EI) complexes12. Continued study of these subsites should provide insight into structure/function correlations of normal β-Glc as well as into the nature of the enzymatic defects in the subtypes and variants of Gaucher disease.
