Lysosomal beta-galactosidase precursor is processed to a mature form and associated with protective protein in lysosomes. In this study we used two cysteine protease proinhibitors, E64-d for cathepsins B, S, H, and L, and CA074Me for cathepsin B. They are converted intracellularly to active forms, E-64c and CA074, respectively. Both active compounds inhibited maturation of the exogenous beta-galactosidase precursor, but E-64c did not inhibit further degradation to an inactive 50-kDa product. We concluded that cathepsin B participated exclusively in maturation of beta-galactosidase, and a non-cysteine protease was involved in further degradation and inactivation of the enzyme molecule.
