Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II), also known as Hunter syndrome, is a devastating progressive disease caused by mutations in the iduronate 2-sulfatase (IDS) gene. IDS is one of the sulfatase enzymes required for lysosomal degradation of glycosaminoglycans. Mutant proteins linked to diseases are often prone to misfolding. These misfolded proteins accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (ER-associated degradation (ERAD)). The decreased enzyme activities of IDS mutants may be due to accelerated degradation by ERAD. However, intracellular dynamics including degradation of IDS mutants is unexplored. In this report, we examined biochemical and biological characteristics of wild-type (WT) IDS and IDS mutants expressed in HeLa cells. IDS was shown to be glycosylated in the ER and Golgi apparatus and proteolytically cleaved to generate the mature forms in the Golgi apparatus. The mature WT IDS was translocated to the lysosome. In contrast, all IDS mutants we examined were found to accumulate in the ER and could not efficiently translocate to the lysosome. Accumulated IDS mutants in the ER were ubiquitinated by ERAD-related ubiquitin E3 ligase HRD1 followed by degradation via ERAD. Suppressed degradation of 'attenuated' mutant A85T IDS (the late-onset form of MPS II) by inhibiting ERAD components improved translocation to the lysosome and its activities. Our novel findings provide alternative targets to current principal therapies for MPS II. These perspectives provide a potenti al framework to develop fundamental therapeutic strategies and agents.
