}Fabry disease is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-Gal A) resulting in lysosomal accumulation of glycosphingolipid globotriosylceramide Gb3. Misfolded alpha-Gal A variants can have residual enzyme activity but are unstable. Their lysosomal trafficking is impaired because they are retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by quality control. Subinhibitory doses of the competitive inhibitor of alpha-Gal A, 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin (DGJ), stabilize…

It is discovered that a potent α-galactosidase A inhibitor, 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin, acts as a pharmacological chaperone to facilitate the proper folding of the mutant enzyme by binding to its active site, thereby improving its stability and trafficking to the lysosomes in mammalian cells.

When expressed in the fly’s dopaminergic cells, misfolding of α-Gal A and UPR activation led to death of these cells and to a shorter life span, which could be improved, in a mutation-dependent manner, by migalastat.

The observations reinforce the idea that treatment of aggregation-associated loss of function observed for the more severe α-galactosidase mutants could be enhanced by combining pharmacological chaperone treatment with the suppression of mutant aggregation, e.g. via proteostatic regulator compounds that increase cellular chaper one expression.

It is shown that a nontoxic competitive inhibitor (1‐deox‐ ygalactonojirimycin) of α‐galactosidase A functions as a chemical chaperone by releasing ER‐retained mutant enzyme from BiP and the treatment with subinhibitory doses resulted in efficient, long‐term lysosomal trafficking.
