Matching the Diversity of Sulfated Biomolecules: Creation of a Classification Database for Sulfatases Reflecting Their Substrate Specificity.

TL;DR: A classification database, SulfAtlas, is proposed, based on sequence homology and composed of four families of sulfatases, divided by phylogenetic approach into 73 subfamilies, each subfamily corresponding to either a known specificity or to an uncharacterized substrate.

Regulation of lysosomal ion homeostasis by channels and transporters

TL;DR: This review will focus on the current knowledge of lysosome-resident ion channels and transporters, discuss their roles in maintaining lysOSomal function, and evaluate how their dysfunction can result in disease.

Insights into Hunter syndrome from the structure of iduronate-2-sulfatase.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of human IDS with a covalently bound sulfate ion in the active site is presented, providing essential insight into multiple mechanisms by which pathogenic mutations interfere with enzyme function, and a compelling explanation for severe Hunter syndrome phenotypes.

Morquio A Syndrome-Associated Mutations: A Review of Alterations in the GALNS Gene and a New Locus-Specific Database

TL;DR: A locus‐specific database for the GAL NS gene is created that catalogs all reported alterations in GALNS to date and highlights the challenges both in alteration detection and genotype–phenotype interpretation caused in part by the heterogeneity of GALns alterations.
