The ceroid‐lipofuscinoses are inherited lysosomal storage diseases of children and animals characterised by a fluorescent lipopigment stored in a variety of tissues. Defects in lipid metabolism or the control of lipid peroxidation have been postulated to explain their pathogenesis but the underlying biochemical defect is still unknown.In the present study lipopigment was isolated from liver, kidney, pancreas and brain of sheep affected with ceroid‐lipofuscinosis. Approximately two‐thirds of the lipopigment mass was protein. Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed a major polypeptide band of Mr14,800, heterogeneous polypeptides between 5,000–9,000 Mrand a major band of Mr3,500. These were not normal lysosomal proteins. I125radiolabeling studies indicated that they were 47% of the pancreatic lipopigment mass, the 3,500 Mrpolypeptides alone accounting for 26%. Lipopigment polypeptides were not subunits of a larger protein held together by disulphide bonds. The presence of the 3,500 Mrproteins in whole affected tissue homogenates distinguished them from homogenates of normal tissues.Lipopigment phospholipids were the same species as normal lysosomal phospholipids, including bis (monoacylglycero) phosphate, a lysosomal marker. Similarly the neutral lipids, notably dolichol, ubiquinone and dolichyl esters were typical of those in lysosomal membranes. Lipopigments contained 1–1.7% metals. Analyses of them indicated a functional lysosomal origin for the lipopigment. It was concluded that low Mrproteins are specifically stored in ovine ceroid‐lipofuscinosis and that this disease is a lysosomal proteinosis.
