Background: Glucosamine (N-acetyl)-6-Sulfatase/GNS
A member of the sulfatase family, GNS is required for the lysosomal degradation of the glycosaminoglycans (GAG) heparan sulfate and keratan sulfate (1, 2). It hydrolyzes the 6-sulfate group of the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-sulfate units of the GAG. GNS deficiency results in mucopolysaccharidosis type IIID (MPS IIID or Sanfilippo D Syndrome), an inborn error leading to lysosomal accumulation of heparan sulfate. MPS IIID has profound mental deterioration, hyperactivity, and relatively mild somatic manifestations. The deduced amino acid sequence of human GNS consists of a signal peptide (residues 1‑36) and a mature chain (residues 37‑552) that may be further processed into N-terminal and C-terminal fragments (3). Recombinant human GNS corresponds to the single chain and has sulfatase activity.
