    Abstract: Provided are isolated nucleic acids for expressing lysosomal polypeptides such as lysosomal acid ?-glucosidase (GAA) and vectors comprising the same. In one embodiment, the invention provides an isolated nucleic acid encoding a chimeric polypeptide comprising a secretory signal sequence operably linked to a lysosomal polypeptide. In another representative embodiment, an isolated nucleic acid is provided comprising a coding region encoding a GAA and a GAA 3? untranslated region (UTR), wherein the GAA 3? UTR comprises a deletion therein. In another representative embodiment, the invention provides an isolated nucleic acid comprising a coding region encoding a GAA and a 3? UTR, wherein the 3? UTR is less than about 200 nucleotides in length and comprises a segment that is heterologous to the GAA coding region.
