The Two Mannose 6-Phosphate Receptors Transport Distinct Complements of Lysosomal Proteins ()

Mammalian cells express two different mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPR 46 and MPR 300), which both mediate targeting of Man-6-P-containing lysosomal proteins to lysosomes. To assess the contribution of either and both MPRs to the transport of lysosomal proteins, fibroblasts were established from m...

Description
Summary:Mammalian cells express two different mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPR 46 and MPR 300), which both mediate targeting of Man-6-P-containing lysosomal proteins to lysosomes. To assess the contribution of either and both MPRs to the transport of lysosomal proteins, fibroblasts were established from mouse embryos that were homozygous for disrupted alleles of either MPR 46 or MPR 300 or both MPRs. Fibroblasts missing both MPRs secreted most of the newly synthesized lysosomal proteins and were unable to maintain the catabolic function of lysosomes. The intracellular levels of lysosomal proteins decreased to
