== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/AGAL_HUMAN AGAL_HUMAN] Defects in GLA are the cause of Fabry disease (FD) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/301500 301500]. FD is a rare X-linked sphingolipidosis disease where glycolipid accumulates in many tissues. The disease consists of an inborn error of glycosphingolipid catabolism. FD patients show systemic accumulation of globotriaoslyceramide (Gb3) and related glycosphingolipids in the plasma and cellular lysosomes throughout the body. Clinical recognition in males results from characteristic skin lesions (angiokeratomas) over the lower trunk. Patients may show ocular deposits, febrile episodes, and burning pain in the extremities. Death results from renal failure, cardiac or cerebral complications of hypertension or other vascular disease. Heterozygous females may exhibit the disorder in an attenuated form, they are more likely to show corneal opacities.<ref>PMID:2152885</ref> <ref>PMID:1846223</ref> <ref>PMID:2171331</ref> <ref>PMID:2539398</ref> <ref>PMID:1315715</ref> <ref>PMID:7504405</ref> <ref>PMID:8395937</ref> <ref>PMID:8069316</ref> <ref>PMID:7531540</ref> <ref>PMID:7575533</ref> <ref>PMID:7759078</ref> <ref>PMID:7599642</ref> <ref>PMID:7596372</ref> <ref>PMID:8738659</ref> <ref>PMID:8875188</ref> <ref>PMID:8834244</ref> <ref>PMID:8931708</ref> <ref>PMID:8807334</ref> <ref>PMID:8863162</ref> <ref>PMID:9105656</ref> <ref>PMID:9100224</ref> <ref>PMID:9554750</ref> <ref>PMID:9452068</ref> <ref>PMID:9452090</ref> <ref>PMID:9452111</ref> <ref>PMID:10208848</ref> <ref>PMID:10090526</ref> <ref>PMID:10838196</ref> <ref>PMID:10666480</ref> <ref>PMID:11076046</ref> <ref>PMID:10916280</ref> <ref>PMID:11295840</ref> <ref>PMID:11668641</ref> <ref>PMID:11889412</ref> <ref>PMID:12694230</ref> <ref>PMID:12786754</ref> <ref>PMID:15162124</ref> <ref>PMID:15712228</ref> <ref>PMID:16533976</ref> <ref>PMID:19621417</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The enzyme alpha-galactosidase (alpha-GAL, also known as alpha-GAL A; E.C. 3.2.1.22) is responsible for the breakdown of alpha-galactosides in the lysosome. Defects in human alpha-GAL lead to the development of Fabry disease, a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by the buildup of alpha-galactosylated substrates in the tissues. alpha-GAL is an active target of clinical research: there are currently two treatment options for Fabry disease, recombinant enzyme replacement therapy (approved in the United States in 2003) and pharmacological chaperone therapy (currently in clinical trials). Previously, we have reported the structure of human alpha-GAL, which revealed the overall structure of the enzyme and established the locations of hundreds of mutations that lead to the development of Fabry disease. Here, we describe the catalytic mechanism of the enzyme derived from x-ray crystal structures of each of the four stages of the double displacement reaction mechanism. Use of a difluoro-alpha-galactopyranoside allowed trapping of a covalent intermediate. The ensemble of structures reveals distortion of the ligand into a (1)S(3) skew (or twist) boat conformation in the middle of the reaction cycle. The high resolution structures of each step in the catalytic cycle will allow for improved drug design efforts on alpha-GAL and other glycoside hydrolase family 27 enzymes by developing ligands that specifically target different states of the catalytic cycle. Additionally, the structures revealed a second ligand-binding site suitable for targeting by novel pharmacological chaperones.
