Ceroid lipofuscinosis in sheep. II. The major component of the lipopigment in liver, kidney, pancreas, and brain is low molecular weight protein
Abstract
Previous studies on the lipopigment from the livers of sheep affected with ceroid lipofuscinosis showed that the disease does not involve a defect in lipid metabolism or abnormal lipid peroxidation and that most of the lipopigment was proteinaceous. In this study, lipopigment was isolated from liver, kidney, pancreas, and brain of affected sheep without the use of proteolytic enzymes. Lipopigment from all tissues was two-thirds protein. Modified silver staining after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed a major band of Mr = 14,800, heterogeneous material between Mr = 5,000 and 9,000, and a major band of Mr = 3,500. These compounds did not stain for RNA or carbohydrate and were digested by a nuclease-free protease as expected for protein. They are not normal lysosomal proteins. Lipopigment levels of dolichol, ubiquinone, and cholesterol were consistent with the lipopigment being protein-enriched lysosome-derived cytosomes. The presence of the Mr = 3,500 proteins in whole affected tissue homogenates distinguished them from homogenates of normal tissues. It was concluded that low Mr proteins are specifically stored in ovine ceroid lipofuscinosis and that the ceroid lipofuscinoses may result from inherited defects in lysosomal protein catabolism.
