Deskripsi

Lysosomal degradation of sphingolipids requires lipid-binding saposin proteins and hydrolytic enzymes. Here the authors present the crystal structure of the hydrolase β-galactocerebrosidase in complex with saposin SapA and give insights into the glycosphingolipid galactocerebroside degradation mechanism.
