Summary

GBA1 (glucosylceramidase beta 1, HGNC:4177) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q22, encoding Lysosomal acid glucosylceramidase (P04062). Glucosylceramidase that catalyzes, within the lysosomal compartment, the hydrolysis of glucosylceramides/GlcCers (such as beta-D-glucosyl-(1<->1’)-N-acylsphing-4-enine) into free ceramides (such as N-acylsphing-4-enine) and glucose.

This gene encodes a lysosomal membrane protein that cleaves the beta-glucosidic linkage of glycosylceramide, an intermediate in glycolipid metabolism. Mutations in this gene cause Gaucher disease, a lysosomal storage disease characterized by an accumulation of glucocerebrosides. A related pseudogene is approximately 12 kb downstream of this gene on chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. Glucosylceramidase that catalyzes, within the lysosomal compartment, the hydrolysis of glucosylceramides/GlcCers (such as beta-D-glucosyl-(1<->1’)-N-acylsphing-4-enine) into free ceramides (such as N-acylsphing-4-enine) and glucose. Plays a central role in the degradation of complex lipids and the turnover of cellular membranes. Through the production of ceramides, participates in the PKC-activated salvage pathway of ceramide formation. Catalyzes the glucosylation of cholesterol, through a transglucosylation reaction where glucose is transferred from GlcCer to cholesterol. GlcCer containing mono-unsaturated fatty acids (such as beta-D-glucosyl-N-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sphing-4-enine) are preferred as glucose donors for cholesterol glucosylation when compared with GlcCer containing same chain length of saturated fatty acids (such as beta-D-glucosyl-N-octadecanoyl-sphing-4-enine). Under specific conditions, may alternatively catalyze the reverse reaction, transferring glucose from cholesteryl 3-beta-D-glucoside to ceramide. Can also hydrolyze cholesteryl 3-beta-D-glucoside producing glucose and cholesterol. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of galactosylceramides/GalCers (such as beta-D-galactosyl-(1<->1’)-N-acylsphing-4-enine), as well as the transfer of galactose between GalCers and cholesterol in vitro, but with lower activity than with GlcCers. Contrary to GlcCer and GalCer, xylosylceramide/XylCer (such as beta-D-xyosyl-(1<->1’)-N-acylsphing-4-enine) is not a good substrate for hydrolysis, however it is a good xylose donor for transxylosylation activity to form cholesteryl 3-beta-D-xyloside. Can also metabolize plant glycosyl phytosterols such as glucosylstigmasterol.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with saposin-C. Interacts with SCARB2. Interacts with TCP1. May interacts with SNCA; this interaction may inhibit the glucosylceramidase activity. Interacts with GRN; this interaction prevents aggregation of GBA1-SCARB2 complex via interaction with HSPA1A upon stress.

Subcellular location. Lysosome membrane.

Disease relevance. Gaucher disease (GD) [MIM:230800] An autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease due to deficient activity of lysosomal beta-glucocerebrosidase, and characterized by accumulation of glucosylceramide in the reticulo-endothelial system. GD is a multisystem disease historically divided into three main subtypes on the basis of the presence of neurologic involvement, age at onset and progression rate: type 1 is the non-neuropathic form, type 2 is the acute neuropathic form with early onset and rapid neurologic deterioration, type 3 is the chronic neuropathic form with slow progression of neurologic features. GD shows a marked phenotypic diversity ranging from adult asymptomatic forms, at the mild end, to perinatal lethal forms at the severe end of the disease spectrum. Formal diagnosis of Gaucher disease is based on the measurement of glucocerebrosidase levels in circulating leukocytes and molecular genetic analysis. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Gaucher disease 1 (GD1) [MIM:230800] A form of Gaucher disease, an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease due to deficient activity of lysosomal beta-glucocerebrosidase, and characterized by accumulation of glucosylceramide in the reticulo-endothelial system. GD1 is characterized by hepatosplenomegaly with consequent anemia and thrombopenia, and bone involvement. The central nervous system is not involved. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Gaucher disease 2 (GD2) [MIM:230900] The most severe form of Gaucher disease, an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease due to deficient activity of lysosomal beta-glucocerebrosidase, and characterized by accumulation of glucosylceramide in the reticulo-endothelial system. GD2 is an acute neuronopathic form that manifests soon after birth, with death generally occurring before patients reach two years of age. Clinical features include hepatosplenomegaly, developmental regression, growth arrest, and rapidly progressing neurologic deterioration. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Gaucher disease 3 (GD3) [MIM:231000] A form of Gaucher disease, an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease due to deficient activity of lysosomal beta-glucocerebrosidase, and characterized by accumulation of glucosylceramide in the reticulo-endothelial system. GD3 is a subacute neuronopathic form characterized by later onset and slower progression compared to Gaucher disease 2. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Gaucher disease 3C (GD3C) [MIM:231005] A variant of subacute neuronopathic Gaucher disease 3 associated with cardiovascular calcifications. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Gaucher disease perinatal lethal (GDPL) [MIM:608013] Distinct form of Gaucher disease type 2, characterized by fetal onset. Hydrops fetalis, in utero fetal death and neonatal distress are prominent features. When hydrops is absent, neurologic involvement begins in the first week and leads to death within 3 months. Hepatosplenomegaly is a major sign, and is associated with ichthyosis, arthrogryposis, and facial dysmorphism. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Perinatal lethal Gaucher disease is associated with non-immune hydrops fetalis, a generalized edema of the fetus with fluid accumulation in the body cavities due to non-immune causes. Non-immune hydrops fetalis is not a diagnosis in itself but a symptom, a feature of many genetic disorders, and the end-stage of a wide variety of disorders. Parkinson disease (PARK) [MIM:168600] A complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscular rigidity and postural instability. Additional features are characteristic postural abnormalities, dysautonomia, dystonic cramps, and dementia. The pathology of Parkinson disease involves the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the presence of Lewy bodies (intraneuronal accumulations of aggregated proteins), in surviving neurons in various areas of the brain. The disease is progressive and usually manifests after the age of 50 years, although early-onset cases (before 50 years) are known. The majority of the cases are sporadic suggesting a multifactorial etiology based on environmental and genetic factors. However, some patients present with a positive family history for the disease. Familial forms of the disease usually begin at earlier ages and are associated with atypical clinical features. Disease susceptibility may be associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Activity regulation. Synergistically activated by saposin-A and saposin-C, two saposin peptides produced by proteolytic processing of prosaposin/PSAP. Saposin-C activates GBA1 through its recruitment to membranes. The membrane structure and composition in anionic phospholipids are also important for the activation. Activated by PKC in the salvage pathway of ceramide formation. Inhibited by conduritol B epoxide/CBE.

Pathway. Steroid metabolism; cholesterol metabolism. Sphingolipid metabolism.

Miscellaneous. Major isoform. Produced by alternative initiation from a downstream AUG. Two to three times less protein is produced from this downstream AUG. Produced by alternative splicing.

Similarity. Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 30 family.
