Treatment of NP-C2 fibroblasts with exogenous recombinant HE1 protein ameliorated lysosomal accumulation of low density lipoprotein-derived cholesterol.Abstract:
Niemann-Pick type C2 disease (NP-C2) is a fatal hereditary disorder of unknown etiology characterized by defective egress of cholesterol from lysosomes. Here we show that the disease is caused by a deficiency in HE1, a ubiquitously expressed lysosomal protein identified previously as a cholesterol-binding protein. HE1 was undetectable in fibroblasts from NP-C2 patients but present in fibroblasts from unaffected controls and NP-C1 patients. Mutations in the HE1 gene, which maps to chromosome 14q24.3, were found in NP-C2 patients but not in controls. Treatment of NP-C2 fibroblasts with exogenous recombinant HE1 protein ameliorated lysosomal accumulation of low density lipoprotein-derived cholesterol.read more

TL;DR: The presence of Niemann–Pick type 2C (NPC2) in the male reproductive tract is indicated, which may play an important role as a CHO modulator between the sperm membrane and vas deferens epithelial communication.

TL;DR: In this article , a 3-month-old boy with hepatic failure and severe mtDNA depletion was found to have a homozygous missense variant (c.544C > T, p.R182W) in the accessory subunit of the mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma (POLG2), which is required for mitochondrial DNA replication.

TL;DR: In this article , the effect of Ncr1 loss on cellular functions mediated by the yeast lysosome-like vacuoles was investigated, and the results revealed changes in vacuolar membrane proteins that are associated mostly with vesicle biology (fusion, transport, organization), autophagy, and ion homeostasis, including iron, manganese, and calcium.

TL;DR: Characterizing the subcellular location of the NPC1 protein suggests that U18666A may inhibit the retrograde transport of NPC1 from lysosomes to late endosomes for subsequent transfer to the trans-Golgi network.
