We previously reported that I-cell disease lymphoblasts maintain normal or near-normal intracellular levels of lysosomal enzymes, even thoughN-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase activity is severely depressed or absent (Littleet al., Biochem. J., 248, 151–159, 1987). The present study, employing subcellular fractionation on colloidal silica gradients, indicates that both light and heavy lysosomes isolated from I-cell disease and pseudo-Hurler polydystrophy lymphoblasts possess normal specific activity levels ofN-acetyl-β-D-hexosaminidase, α-D-mannosidase and β-D-glucuronidase. These current findings are in contrast to those of cultured fibroblasts from the same patients, where decreased intralysosomal enzyme activities are found. Column chromatography onRicinus communisrevealed that N-acetyl-β-D-hexosaminidase in both heavy and light I-cell disease lysosomal fractions from lymphoblasts possesses an increased number of accessible galactose residues (30–50%) as compared to the enzyme from the corresponding normal controls. Endo-β-N-acetylglucos-aminidase H treatment ofN-acetyl-β-D-hexosaminidase from the I-cell lysosomal fractions suggests that the majority of newly synthesized high-mannose-type oligosaccharide chains are modified to complex-type carbohydrates prior to being transported to lysosomes. This result from lymphoblasts differs from previous findings with fibroblasts, whereN-acetyl-β-D-hexosaminidase from I-cell disease and pseudo-Hurler polydystrophy lysosomes exhibited properties associated with predominantly high-mannose-type oligosaccharide chains. The current results imply that different cell types may modify the carbohydrate side chains of lysosomal enzymes in a differential manner, and that selected cell types may also employ mechanisms other than the mannose-6-phosphate pathway for targeting lysosomal enzymes to lysosomes.
