The cell biology of lysosomal storage disorders
TLDR
The biochemistry of lysosomal storage disorders is summarized and downstream cellular pathways that are potentially affected in these disorders are discussed and that might help to delineate their pathological mechanisms.

Production of glucocerebrosidase with terminal mannose glycans for enzyme replacement therapy of Gaucher's disease using a plant cell system.
TLDR
The production of a recombinant human GCD in a carrot cell suspension culture shows a level of biological activity similar to that of Cerezyme produced in CHO cells, as well as a highly homologous high-resolution three-dimensional structure, determined by X-ray crystallography, indicating the potential safety of prGCD.

The complex life of simple sphingolipids
TLDR
This work outlines exciting progress in the biochemistry and cell biology of sphingolipids and focuses on their functional diversity, which should set the conceptual and experimental framework that will eventually lead to a fully integrated and comprehensive model of the functions of specific sphingosine‐1‐phosphate in regulating defined aspects of cell physiology.

When Do Lasses (Longevity Assurance Genes) Become CerS (Ceramide Synthases)?
TLDR
A recently discovered family of mammalian ceramide synthase (CerS) genes and emerging evidence that specific ceramides containing distinct fatty acids play important roles in cell growth and apoptosis are discussed.

X‐ray structure of human acid‐β‐glucosidase, the defective enzyme in Gaucher disease
TLDR
The structure provides the possibility of engineering improved GlcCerase for enzyme‐replacement therapy, and for designing structure‐based drugs aimed at restoring the activity of defective Glc Cerase.

Characterization of Ceramide Synthase 2
TLDR
Insight is provided into the biochemical basis for the ceramide N-acyl chain composition of cells, and a novel and potentially important interplay between two bioactive sphingolipids that could be relevant to the regulation of sphingosine 1-phosphate metabolism and the opposing functions that these lipids play in signaling pathways are revealed.
