| Ptm: | The conversion to 3-oxoalanine (also known as C-formylglycine, FGly), of a serine or cysteine residue in prokaryotes and of a cysteine residue in eukaryotes, is critical for catalytic activity. This post- translational modification is severely defective in multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7628016, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9342345}. | |
| Disease: | Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) [MIM:250100]: An autosomal recessive disease caused by abnormal intralysosomal accumulation of cerebroside-3-sulfate in central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as other organs. MLD is clinically characterized by leukodystrophy, progressive demyelination and a variety of neurological symptoms, including gait disturbances, ataxias, optical atrophy, dementia, seizures, and spastic tetraparesis. Decreased arylsulfatase A activity is detected in urine, leukocytes, and fibroblasts of affected individuals. Several forms of the disease can be distinguished according to the age at onset and disease severity: late infantile, juvenile and adult forms, partial cerebroside sulfate deficiency, and pseudoarylsulfatase A deficiency. Individuals with pseudoarylsulfatase A deficiency have low arylsulfatase A activity but lack neurological manifestations and are apparently healthy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10220151, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10381328, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10477432, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10533072, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10751093, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11020646, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11061266, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11456299, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11941485, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12503099, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12788103, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1353340, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14517960, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14680985, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15026521, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15326627, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15710861, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1670590, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1673291, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1678251, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18693274, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19606494, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20339381, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21265945, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2574462, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7581401, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7825603, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7860068, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7902317, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7906588, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7909527, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8095918, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8101038, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8101083, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8104633, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8891236, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9090526, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9272717, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9452102, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9490297, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9600244, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9819708}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. | |
| Disease: | Multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD) [MIM:272200]: A clinically and biochemically heterogeneous disorder caused by the simultaneous impairment of all sulfatases, due to defective post-translational modification and activation. It combines features of individual sulfatase deficiencies such as metachromatic leukodystrophy, mucopolysaccharidosis, chondrodysplasia punctata, hydrocephalus, ichthyosis, neurologic deterioration and developmental delay. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15146462}. Note=The protein represented in this entry is involved in disease pathogenesis. Arylsulfatase A activity is impaired in multiple sulfatase deficiency due to mutations in SUMF1 (PubMed:15146462). SUMF1 mutations result in defective post- translational modification of ARSA at residue Cys-69 that is not converted to 3-oxoalanine (PubMed:7628016). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15146462, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7628016}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | The metal cofactor was first identified as magnesium ion, based on the structure of the recombinant protein, but when purified from human placenta, the protein contains 1 calcium ion per subunit. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the sulfatase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=AAB03341.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=BAH11167.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
