A method of producing mannose-6-phosphate (M6P)-containing recombinant alpha-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (Naglu), including the steps of providing a high mannose containing recombinant Naglu protein; and contacting the high mannose containing recombinant Naglu protein with N-acetyl-glucosamine-1-phosphotransferase (GNPT) under conditions that permit phosphorylation of one or more mannose residues on the recombinant Naglu protein, thereby generating M6P-containing recombinant Naglu. A mannose-6-phosphate (M6P)-containing recombinant alpha-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (Naglu) protein produced by this method, a composition comprising such Naglu protein, and a method of treating Sanfilippo Syndrome Type B (MPS IIIB) including administering to a subject in need of treatment this composition.

Cleaning compositions may include novel dispersin variants having improved properties relative to the parent dispersin. Such properties may include one or more of the following; wash performance, stability e.g. detergent and/or storage stability. The cleaning compositions may be suitable for use in cleaning processes and include detergent compositions, such as laundry compositions and dish wash compositions, including hand wash and automatic dish wash compositions.

The present invention provides, among other things, compositions and methods for CNS delivery of lysosomal enzymes for effective treatment of lysosomal storage diseases. In some embodiments, the present invention includes a stable formulation for direct CNS intrathecal administration comprising a heparan N-sulfatase (HNS) protein, salt, and a polysorbate surfactant for the treatment of Sanfilippo Syndrome Type A.

Among other things, the present invention provides methods and compositions of treating Sanfilippo syndrome type B (Sanfilippo B) by, e.g., intrathecal (IT) administration of a Naglu protein. A suitable Naglu protein can be a recombinant, gene-activated or natural protein. In some embodiments, a suitable Naglu protein is a recombinant Naglu protein. In some embodiments, a recombinant Naglu protein is a fusion protein containing a Naglu domain and a lysosomal targeting moiety. In some embodiments, the lysosomal targeting domain is an IGF-II moiety.
