Fig. 2. Secretion of lysosomal enzymes in lvsA and lvsB mutant
cells. Cells were incubated in SB medium to induce secretion of lysosomal
enzymes. The activity of three lysosomal enzymes was determined in the
cellular pellet and the supernatant at the indicated times. Enzymes tested
were
-mannosidase (A), acid phosphatase (B) and N-acetylglucosaminidase
(C). Over the course of the experiment, the total amount of the enzymatic
activity did not vary significantly. The percentage of the total activity
secreted in the medium is indicated. Filled circles, wild-type cells; open
circles, lvsA cells; open triangles, lvsB cells.
