Loss-of-function mutations in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein CLN8 cause Batten disease, a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder. CLN8 acts with the lysosomal enzyme CLN5 to produce bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP), a signature lysosomal phospholipid with unique S,S stereochemistry. However, the ro...

Lysosomal catabolism depends on bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP), a phospholipid with atypical S,S stereochemistry of unknown biosynthetic origin. CLN8 and CLN5 catalyze sequential acylation steps in BMP synthesis, and their loss of function causes Batten disease, a group of inherited neurodegenerative lysosomal sto...

Two studies show that the ER-associated protein CLN8 catalyses the acyl CoA-dependent acylation of glycerophosphoglycerol, producing lysophosphatidylglycerol, which is then converted into BMP, providing insight into CLN8 Batten disease.
