note = {Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) account for the majority of genetic neurodegenerative diseases in infancy. However, for most forms of this serious disease there is no adequate treatment available. In the NCL6 subtype, which is caused by deficiency in ceroid- lipofuscinosis neuronal protein 6 (CLN6), poor understanding of CLN6’s function and its pathomechanisms impede the development of a proper treatment. Therefore, this thesis comprises a detailed examination of pathological changes in the lysosome and investigations to identify novel interaction partners of CLN6 with the purpose to elucidate its function. First, mass spectrometric analysis of the lysosomal fraction from wild-type (wt) and nclf mouse liver were conducted, which for the first time presented a large-scale study of proteomic changes in CLN6 deficiency and indicated a significant depletion of specific lysosomal proteins. This reduction of mainly soluble hydrolases was validated through examining selected proteins by western blotting of tritosomes as well as 20.000 g brain and liver pellets from wt and nclf mice. However, western blots of whole liver and brain lysates in comparison to the lysosomal fractions showed no differences or even an increase in the protein amount of most investigated proteins, which might indicate an impaired transport to the lysosome. Second, the BioID approach was applied for CLN6 and resulted in numerous proteins, which are located in close proximity of CLN6 and, therefore, are potential interaction partner candidates. Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assays of selected candidates from the BioID data sets verified an association of CLN6 with the chaperones calnexin (CANX) and calreticulin (CALR), which are known interaction partners of lysosomal soluble hydrolases.
This thesis contributes to a better understanding of the development of NCL6 and the molecular biology of CLN6 in multiple ways. The investigations of the lysosomal proteome provide with the reduction of many lysosomal hydrolases a concrete link to CLN6’s function and a conceivable explanation for the accumulation of storage material in CLN6 deficiency. The interaction partner studies provide an enormous number of proteins, which are acting in various different biological pathways and are potentially associated with CLN6. The inclusion of a considerable number of proteins playing a role in the calnexin-cycle along with CANX and CALR, whose association with CLN6 was validated by the BiFC assay, suggest an involvement of CLN6 in the biogenesis of lysosomal proteins and potentially also a direct interaction with soluble hydrolases in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).},
