Human galactosamine-6-sulfatase (GALNS)
The human lysosomal galactosamine-6-sulfatase (E.C. 3.1.6.4), also known as N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase, removes sulfate groups from a terminal N-acetyl-galactose-6-sulfate (or galactose-6-sulfate) in mucopolysaccharides such as keratan sulfate and chondroitin-6-sulfate Defects in GALNS lead to accumulation of mucopolysaccharides, resulting in the development of the lysosomal storage disease mucopolysaccharidosis 4A, also known as Morquio A disease[1].

GALNS active site
Sulfatases require maturation of a side chain residue into a catalytic nucleophile. In GALNS, the polypeptide chain encodes a cysteine at residue 79 at the start of the motif CXPXRXXL. The formylglycine generating enzyme recognizes this motif and converts Cys79 into a formylglycine aldehyde[2]. Hydration of the aldehyde by a water molecule generates the gem diol nucleophile dihydroxyalanine, which ligates Ca2+ in the active site. The spinning protein is human human lysosomal galactosamine-6-sulfatase with GalNac in the a represented by spheres.
