We have examined the coupling and charge stoichiometry for UDP-GlcNAc transport into Golgi-enriched vesicles from rat liver. In the absence of added energy sources, these Golgi vesicles concentrate UDP-GlcNAc at least 20-fold, presumably by exchange with endogenous nucleotides. Under the conditions used, extravesicular degradation of UDP-GlcNAc has been eliminated, and less than 15% of the internalized radioactivity becomes associated with endogenous macromolecules. Of the remaining intravesicular label, 85% remains unmetabolized UDP-[3H]GlcNAc, and approximately 15% is hydrolyzed to [3H]GlcNAc-1-phosphate. Efflux of accumulated UDP-[3H]GlcNAc is induced by addition of UMP, UDP, or UDP-galactose to the external medium. Permeabilization of Golgi vesicles causes a rapid and nearly complete loss of internal UDP-[3H]GlcNAc, indicating that the results reflect transport and not binding. Moreover, transport of UDP-[3H]GlcNAc into these Golgi vesicles was stimulated up to 5-fold by mechanically preloading vesicles with either UDP-GlcNAc or UMP. The response of UMP/UMP exchange and UMP/UDP-GlcNAc exchange to alterations in intravesicular and extravesicular pH suggests that UDP-GlcNAc enters the Golgi apparatus in electroneutral exchange with the dianionic form of UMP.  相似文献

Golgi apparatus isolated from cat liver contained UDPglucose pyrophosphorylase (UTP:alpha-D-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.9) activity. The results of washing suggested that pyrophosphorylase was bound firmly to Golgi membranes. Moreover, the enzyme was activated by Triton X-100 in the same extent as galactosyltransferase, a typical Golgi apparatus enzyme. Two-substrate kinetic studies were performed with the enzymes from cytosol and Golgi fractions. The soluble enzyme showed an apparent 2.5-fold greater activity for the glucose 1-phosphate than for UTP, while pyrophosphorylase of Golgi apparatus had the same affinity for the two substrates. A random mechanism was observed with a direct dependence of apparent Michaelis constant values on the concentration of second substrate for soluble enzyme. In contrast, with Golgi enzyme one ligand had no effect on the binding of the other.  相似文献

An enzymic activity, obtained from Neurospora crassa, catalyzing the incorporation of [14C]glucose from ADP-[14C]glucose into a glucan of the glycogen type, is described. The properties of the ADPglucose : glycogen glucosyltransferase as compared with those of the already known UDP glucose : glycogen glucosyltransferase were studied. The radioactive products obtained with UDP-14C]glucose or ADP-[14C]glucose released all the radioactivity as maltose after alpha or beta amylase treatment. Glucose 6-phosphate stimulated the synthetase when UDP-[14C]glucose was the substrate but the stimulation was much greater with ADP-[14C]glucose as glucosyl donor. Glucose 6-phosphate plus EGTA gave maximal stimulation. The system was completely dependent &on the presence of a 'primer' of the alpha 1 leads to 4 glucan type.  相似文献

The [14C] moiety from [3H]UDP[14C]glucose was incorporated by intact cotton fibers into hot water soluble, acetic-nitric reagent soluble and insoluble components, and chloroform-methanol soluble lipids; the [3H] UDP moiety was not incorporated. The 3H-label can be exchanged rapidly with unlabeled substrate in a chase experiment. The cell wall apparent free space of cotton fibers was in the order of 30 picomoles per milligram of dry fibers; 25 picomoles per milligram easily exchanged and about 5 picomoles per milligram more tightly adsorbed. At 50 micromolar UDPglucose, 70% of the [14C]glucose was found in the lipid fraction after both a short labeling period and chase. The percent of [14C]glucose incorporated into total glucan increased slightly with chase, but the fraction of total glucans incorporated into insoluble acetic-nitric reagent (cellulose) did increase within a 30-minute chase period. The data supports the concept that glucan synthesis, including cellulose, as well as the synthesis of steryl glucosides, acetylated steryl glucosides, and glucosyl-phosphoryl-polyprenol from externally supplied UDPglucose occurs at the plasma membrane-cell wall interface. The synthase enzymes for such synthesis must be part of this interfacial membrane system.  相似文献

Red algae (Rhodophyceae) are photosynthetic eukaryotes that accumulate starch granules in the cytosol. Starch synthase activity in crude extracts of Gracilaria tenuistipitata Chang et Xia was almost 9-fold higher with UDP[U-14C]glucose than with ADP[U-14C]glucose. The activity with UDP[U-14C]glucose was sensitive to proteolytic and oxidative inhibition during extraction whilst the activity with ADP[U-14C]glucose appeared unaffected. This indicates the presence of separate starch synthases with different substrate specificities in G. tenuistipitata. The UDPglucose: starch synthase was purified and characterised. The enzyme appears to be a homotetramer with a native Mr of 580 kDa and displays kinetic properties similar to other α-glucan synthases such as stimulation by citrate, product (UDP) inhibition and broad primer specificity. We propose that this enzyme is involved in cytosolic starch synthesis in red algae and thus is the first starch synthase described that utilises UDPglucose in vivo. The biochemical implications of the different compartmentalisation of starch synthesis in red algae and green algae/plants are also discussed.

Trafficking and sorting of lipids during transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus was studied using a cell-free system from rat liver. Transitional elements of the endoplasmic reticulum were prepared from liver slices prelabeled with [14C]- or [3H]acetate as the donor fraction. Non-radioactive Golgi apparatus were immobilized on nitrocellulose as the acceptor. When reconstituted, the radiolabeled donor retained a capacity to transfer labeled lipids to the non-radioactive Golgi apparatus acceptor. Transfer exhibited two kinetically different components. One was stimulated by ATP, facilitated by cytosol and inhibited by guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) and N-ethylmaleimide. In parallel with protein transport, the ATP-dependent lipid transfer occurred with a temperature transition at about 20 degrees C. The other was not stimulated by ATP, did not require cytosol, was acceptor unspecific, was unaffected by inhibitors and, while temperature dependent, did not exhibit a sharp temperature transition. The ATP-independent transfer was non-vesicular. In contrast, the ATP-dependent transfer was vesicular. Transition vesicles isolated by preparative free-flow electrophoresis, when used as the donor fraction, transferred lipids to Golgi apparatus acceptor with a 5-6-fold greater efficiency than that exhibited by the unfractionated transitional endoplasmic reticulum. Formation of transition vesicles was ATP-dependent. Transferred lipids were chiefly phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol. Membrane triglycerides, major constituents of the transitional endoplasmic reticulum membranes, were both depleted in the transition vesicle-enriched fractions and not transferred to Golgi apparatus suggestive of lipid sorting prior to or during transition vesicle formation. The characteristics of the ATP plus cytosol-dependent transfer were similar to those for protein transfer mediated by transition vesicles. Thus, the 50-70-nm vesicles derived from transitional endoplasmic reticulum appear to function in the trafficking of both newly synthesized proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus.  相似文献

Intermediatry steps in cellulose synthesis in Acetobacter xylinum were studied with resting cells and particulate-membranous preparations of the wild-type strain and of a celluloseless mutant. Exogenously supplied [1-14C]glucose was rapidly converted by resting cells of both types into glucose 6-phosphate, glucose 1-phosphate, and uridine glucose 5'-diphosphate (UDP)-glucose and incorporated into lipid-, water-, and alkali-soluble cellular fractions. The decrease in the level of labeled hexose-phosphates and UDP-glucose upon depletion of the exogenous substrate was accounted for by a continuous incorporation of [14C]glucose into cellulose in the wild type and into the above-mentioned cellular components in the mutant. [14C]glucose retained in the alkali- and water-soluble fractions of pulse-labeled wild-type cells was quantitatively chased into cellulose. Sonic extracts of both strains catalyzed the transfer of glucose from UDP-glucose into lipid-, water-, and alkali-soluble materials, as well as into an alkali-insoluble cellulosic beta-1,4-glucan. The results strongly support the sequence glucose leads to glucose 6-phosphate leads to glucose 1-phosphate leads to UDP-glucose leads to cellulose and indicate that lipid- and protein-linked cellodextrins may function as intermediates between UDP-glucose and cellulose in A. xylinum.  相似文献

The intracellular transport of mucus glycoprotein precursor (apomucin) from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi was quantitated by the immunoprecipitation with 3G12 antimucin monoclonal antibody and by estimation of the apomucin glycosylation using UDP-[3H]galactose. The assembly of the entities carrying apomucin to Golgi was assessed by electron microscopy and by quantitation of the incorporation of [14C]choline, [14C]ethanolamine, and [14C]oleic acid into their lipids. The microscopic image of the isolated transport components revealed a population of 80- to 100-nm vesicles with occasional membranes of the ER used for their synthesis. On the average, the vesicles contained 82 ng apomucin/microgram of protein and 80-90% of the total incorporated lipid precursors. From that, 91% of [14C]choline was detected in phosphatidylcholine, and 9% in phosphatidylethanolamine, lysophosphatidylcholine, and sphingomyelin. With [14C]oleate, 54% of the label was incorporated into ceramide, diglyceride, and phosphatidic acid, 35% to phosphatidylcholine, 7% in phosphatidylethanolamine, and 2% in sphingomyelin. After incubation of the vesicles with Golgi, the apomucin was found glycosylated and the lipids of the transport vesicles incorporated into Golgi membranes. The fusion of the vesicular membranes was accompanied by the synthesis of sphingomyelin. In the Golgi, 39-55% of the radiolabeled phosphatidylcholine of transport vesicles was converted to sphingomyelin. The results indicate that the newly synthesized membranes of apomucin transporting vesicles are enriched in phosphoglycerides and ceramides. Upon fusion with the Golgi, the membranes of the vesicles are replenished with sphingomyelin by exchange reaction between phosphatidylcholine and ceramide.  相似文献

Starch synthesis by isolated amyloplasts from wheat endosperm   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
R. H. Tyson  T. ap Rees 《Planta》1988,175(1):33-38
The aim of this work was to discover which compound(s) cross the amyloplast envelope to supply the carbon for starch synthesis in grains of Triticum aestivum L. Amyloplasts were isolated, on a continuous gradient of Nycodenz, from lysates of protoplasts of endosperm of developing grains, and then incubated in solutions of 14C-labelled: glucose, glucose 1-phosphate, glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 6-phosphate, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glycerol 3-phosphate. Only glucose 1-phosphate gave appreciable labelling of starch that was dependent upon the integrity of the amyloplasts. Incorporation into starch was linear with respect to time for 2 h. At the end of the incubations, 98% of the 14C in the soluble fraction of the incubation mixture was recovered as [14C]glucose 1-phosphate. Thus it is unlikely that the added [14C glucose 1-phosphate was extensively metabolized prior to uptake by the amyloplasts. It is argued that the behaviour of the isolated amyloplasts, and previously published data on the labelling of starch by [13C]glucose, are consistent with the view that in wheat grains it is a C-6, not a C-3, compound that enters the amyloplast to provide the carbon for starch synthesis.Abbreviations PPase alkaline inorganic pyrophosphatase - UDPglucose uridine 5-diphosphoglucose  相似文献

This report concerns development of a cell-free system from rat liver to study transport of membrane constituents from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane. Highly purified Golgi apparatus as donor and a mixture of sheets and vesicles as plasma membrane acceptor fractions were combined to analyze requirements for lipid and protein transport. In the reconstituted system, the Golgi apparatus donor was in suspension. To measure transfer, membrane constituents of the donor membranes were radiolabeled with [3H]acetate (lipids) or [3H]leucine (proteins). The plasma membrane vesicles were used as the acceptor and were unlabeled and immobilized on nitrocellulose for ease of recovery and analysis. The reconstituted cell-free transfer was dependent on temperature, but even at 37 degrees C, the amount of transfer did not increase with added ATP, was not specific for any particular membrane fraction or subfraction nor was it facilitated by cytosol. ATP was without effect both in the presence or absence of a cytosolic fraction capable of the support of cell-free transfer in other systems. In contrast to results with ATP, NADH added to the reconstituted system resulted in an increased amount of transfer. A further increase in transfer was obtained with NADH plus a mixture of ascorbate and dehydroascorbate to generate ascorbate free radical. The transfer of labeled membrane constituents from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane supported by NADH plus ascorbate radical was stimulated by a cytosol fraction enriched in less than 10 kDa components. This was without effect in the absence of NADH/ascorbate radical or with ATP as the energy source. Specific transfer was inhibited by both N-ethylmaleimide and GTP gamma S. The findings point to the possibility of redox activities associated with the trans region of the Golgi apparatus as potentially involved in the transport of membrane vesicles from the Golgi apparatus to the cytoplasmic surface of the plasma membrane.  相似文献

[14C]Glucose release either from endogenous 14C-prelabelled glycogen or from added 14C-labelled glucose 6-phosphate was measured in filipin-treated, permeabilized hepatocytes in 48 h culture. [14C]Glucose output from prelabelled glycogen was not altered by the addition of 5 mM glucose 6-phosphate to the incubation medium. Conversely, [14C]glucose release from 5 mM labelled glucose 6-phosphate was not influenced by different glycogen concentrations in the cells. Moreover, in the permeabilized cells the anion transport inhibitor DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid) inhibited only the liberation of [14C]glucose from labelled glucose 6-phosphate but not from glycogen. It is therefore concluded that there exist at least 2 separate, mutually non-accessible glucose 6-phosphate pools in cultured rat hepatocytes, one linked to glycogenolysis and the other to gluconeogenesis.  相似文献

Summary The donor and acceptor specificity of cell-free transfer of radiolabeled membrane constituents, chiefly lipids, was examined using purified fractions of endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, nuclei, plasma membrane, tonoplast, mitochondria, and chloroplasts prepared from green leaves of spinach. Donor membranes were radiolabeled with [14C]acetate. Acceptor membranes were unlabeled and immobilized on nitrocellulose filters. The assay was designed to measure membrane transfer resulting from ATP-and temperature-dependent formation of transfer vesicles by the donor fraction in solution and subsequent attachment and/or fusion of the transfer vesicles with the immobilized acceptor. When applied to the analysis of spinach fractions, significant ATP-dependent transfer in the presence of cytosol was observed only with endoplasmic reticulum as donor and Golgi apparatus as acceptor. Transfer in the reverse direction, from Golgi apparatus to endoplasmic reticulum, was only 0.2 to 0.3 that from endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi apparatus. ATP-dependent transfers also were indicated between nuclei and Golgi apparatus from regression analysis of transfer kinetics. Specific transfer between Golgi apparatus and plasma membrane and, to a lesser extent, from plasma membrane to Golgi apparatus was observed at 25°C compared to 4°C but was not ATP plus cytosol-dependent. All other combinations of organelles and membranes exhibited no ATP plus cytosol-dependent transfer and only small increments of specific transfer comparing transfer at 37°C to transfer at 4°C. Thus, the only combinations of membranes capable of significant cell-free transfer in vitro were those observed by electron microscopy of cells and tissues to be involved in vesicular transport in vivo (endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, plasma membrane, nuclear envelope). Of these, only with endoplasmic reticulum (or nuclear envelope) and Golgi apparatus, where transfer in situ is via 50 to 70 nm transition vesicles, was temperature-and ATP-dependent transfer of acetatelabeled membrane reproduced in vitro. Lipids transferred included phospholipids, mono-and diacylglycerols, and sterols but not triacylglycerols or steryl esters, raising the possibility of lipid sorting or processing to exclude transfer of triacylglycerols and steryl esters at the endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi apparatus step.  相似文献

By using barley seeds, developmental changes of ADPglucose (ADPG)-producing sucrose synthase (SS) and ADPG pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) have been compared with those of UDPglucose (UDPG), ADPG, sucrose (Suc) and starch contents. Both ADPG-synthesizing SS and AGPase activity patterns were found to correlate well with those of ADPG and starch contents. Remarkably, however, maximal activities of ADPG-synthesizing SS were found to be several fold higher than those of AGPase throughout seed development, the highest rate of starch accumulation being well accounted for by SS. Kinetic analyses of SS from barley endosperms and potato tubers in the Suc cleavage direction showed similar K(m) values for ADP and UDP, whereas apparent affinity for Suc was shown to be higher in the presence of UDP than with ADP. Moreover, measurements of transglucosylation activities in starch granules incubated with purified SS, ADP and [U-(14)C]Suc revealed a low inhibitory effect of UDP. The ADPG and UDPG contents in the transgenic S-112 SS and starch deficient potato mutant [Zrenner et al. (1995) Plant J. 7: 97] were found to be 35% and 30% of those measured in wild-type plants, whereas both glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate contents were found to be normal as compared with those of wild-type plants. The overall results thus strongly support a novel gluconeogenic mechanism reported previously [Pozueta-Romero et al. (1999) CRIT: Rev. Plant Sci. 18: 489] wherein SS catalyses directly the de novo production of ADPG linked to starch biosynthesis in heterotrophic tissues of plants.  相似文献

Golgi UDPase is an enzyme that has been shown to function in polysaccharide biosynthesis, but its role in this process is not yet clear. In this study we identified Golgi UDPase activity in pea (Pisum sativum) stems and differentiated it from another UDPase activity. We demonstrated that Golgi UDPase is an integral membrane protein, based on specific partitioning of this activity into Triton X-114. Analysis of its topology using sealed, right-side-out Golgi vesicles and treatment with proteinase K suggested that its active site faces the Golgi lumen. Studies aimed at understanding the function of Golgi UDPase by incubating Golgi vesicles with [beta]-32P]UDP-glucose (Glc) to generate [beta]-32P]UDP upon Glc transfer in situ showed that 32Pi, but not [beta]-32P]UDP, was formed, suggesting that UDPase quickly hydrolyzed the UDP formed during Glc polymerization. We found that the Golgi UDPase was highly active in the elongating region of the third internode, whereas no activity was detected in the first and second internodes of etiolated pea seedlings. These results suggest that UDPase removes the UDP formed during Glc polymerization and could be important in the mechanism of polysaccharide biosynthesis.  相似文献

A series of ceramide analogues bearing the fluorophore boron dipyrromethene difluoride (BODIPY) were synthesized and evaluated as vital stains for the Golgi apparatus, and as tools for studying lipid traffic between the Golgi apparatus and the plasma membrane of living cells. Studies of the spectral properties of several of the BODIPY-labeled ceramides in lipid vesicles demonstrated that the fluorescence emission maxima were strongly dependent upon the molar density of the probes in the membrane. This was especially evident using N-[5-(5,7-dimethyl BODIPY)-1-pentanoyl]-D-erythro-sphingosine (C5-DMB-Cer), which exhibited a shift in its emission maximum from green (integral of 515 nm) to red (integral of 620 nm) wavelengths with increasing concentrations. When C5-DMB-Cer was used to label living cells, this property allowed us to differentiate membranes containing high concentrations of the fluorescent lipid and its metabolites (the corresponding analogues of sphingomyelin and glucosylceramide) from other regions of the cell where smaller amounts of the probe were present. Using this approach, prominent red fluorescent labeling of the Golgi apparatus, Golgi apparatus-associated tubulovesicular processes, and putative Golgi apparatus transport vesicles was seen in living human skin fibroblasts, as well as in other cell types. Based on fluorescence ratio imaging microscopy, we estimate that C5-DMB-Cer and its metabolites were present in Golgi apparatus membranes at concentrations up to 5-10 mol %. In addition, the concentration-dependent spectral properties of C5-DMB-Cer were used to monitor the transport of C5-DMB-lipids to the cell surface at 37 degrees C.  相似文献

A procedure for the determination of picomole amounts of uracil nucleotides is described. The key reaction is the condensation of UTP and [14C]glucose 1-phosphate catalyzed by uridine 5′-diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase yielding UDP-[14C]glucose. The product is determined by selective adsorption onto charcoal in the presence of 0.8 m Trizma Base. UDP is measured as UTP after its conversion in an incubation with excess ATP and nucleoside diphosphate kinase. Similarly, UMP is analyzed after it is converted to UDP by nucleoside monophosphate kinase. The uracil nucleotide content of germinated wheat embryos had been determined with this method.  相似文献

Cell-free transfer of membrane lipids. Evidence for lipid processing   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
A latent phospholipase A is concentrated in cis elements of rat liver Golgi apparatus, the presumed sites of fusion of the 50-70-nm transition vesicles formed from endoplasmic reticulum. As a result, conversion of transferred phospholipids to their corresponding lysoforms may provide an index of post transfer lipid processing in a corresponding reconstituted membrane transfer system. To label the phosphatidylcholine of transitional endoplasmic reticulum in vitro, [14C]CDP-choline and endogenous cytidyltransferases were used. In the reconstituted transfer system, the radiolabeled phosphatidylcholine was transferred via transition vesicles to Golgi apparatus immobilized on nitrocellulose strips in a time- and temperature-dependent process. Transfer was promoted by ATP and the ATP-dependent transfer was specific for cis Golgi apparatus elements as acceptor. Trans Golgi apparatus elements were ineffective as acceptors. Median Golgi apparatus elements were intermediate. A portion of the transferred phosphatidylcholine was converted subsequently to lysophosphatidylcholine also in a time- and ATP-dependent manner. The phospholipase A activity of the Golgi apparatus was more than 90% latent (active site located on the lumens of the Golgi apparatus membranes). Therefore, the lipid-containing vesicles derived from endoplasmic reticulum must have combined with cis Golgi apparatus membranes as the basis for Golgi apparatus-dependent phospholipase A processing of endoplasmic reticulum-derived phosphatidylcholine. Since the lipids were processed by phospholipase A in approximately the same proportion as occurs in situ, the findings offer evidence both for the specificity of the ATP-dependent component of cell-free lipid transfer from endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi apparatus and its fidelity to lipid transfer observed in vivo.  相似文献

The Golgi apparatus is the main glycosylation and sorting station along the secretory pathway. Its structure includes the Golgi vesicles, which are depleted of anterograde cargo, and also of at least some Golgi‐resident proteins. The role of Golgi vesicles remains unclear. Here, we show that Golgi vesicles are enriched in the Qb‐SNAREs GS27 (membrin) and GS28 (GOS‐28), and depleted of nucleotide sugar transporters. A block of intra‐Golgi transport leads to accumulation of Golgi vesicles and partitioning of GS27 and GS28 into these vesicles. Conversely, active intra‐Golgi transport induces fusion of these vesicles with the Golgi cisternae, delivering GS27 and GS28 to these cisternae. In an in vitro assay based on a donor compartment that lacks UDP‐galactose translocase (a sugar transporter), the segregation of Golgi vesicles from isolated Golgi membranes inhibits intra‐Golgi transport; re‐addition of isolated Golgi vesicles devoid of UDP‐galactose translocase obtained from normal cells restores intra‐Golgi transport. We conclude that this activity is due to the presence of GS27 and GS28 in the Golgi vesicles, rather than the sugar transporter. Furthermore, there is an inverse correlation between the number of Golgi vesicles and the number of inter‐cisternal connections under different experimental conditions. Finally, a rapid block of the formation of vesicles via COPI through degradation of ϵCOP accelerates the cis‐to‐trans delivery of VSVG. These data suggest that Golgi vesicles, presumably with COPI, serve to inhibit intra‐Golgi transport by the extraction of GS27 and GS28 from the Golgi cisternae, which blocks the formation of inter‐cisternal connections .  相似文献

1. A non-sedimentable fraction of potato tuber has been found to catalyze [14C]glucose transfer from [14C]glucose 1-phosphate to an endogenous proteic acceptor in the absence of added primer. This transfer is activated by Mn2+. 2. The labeled glucosylated product formed is trichloroacetic acid insoluble and sensitive to proteolytic and amylolytic digestions. It appears to be a glucoprotein with glucosyl chains bound to the peptide portion of the molecule through an unknown linkage. 3. The carbohydrate portion of the glucoprotein can be released by prolonged incubations with the enzymatic preparation, and becomes in turn, trichloroacetic acid soluble and alcohol precipitable. 4. Both products, the glucoprotein as well as the alpha-1,4-glucan that seems to arise from the enzymatic cleavage of the former, can be used as primers by the transglucosylating system with ADP[14C]glucose, UDP[14C]glucose or GDP[14C]glucose as glucosyl donors. The results presented in this paper are the first demonstration of soluble glucosyl transferases with the same glucose donor specificity to that of the particulate starch synthetase. 5. This report presents further evidence in favor of the assumption of a glucoproteic intermediate in alpha-a,4-glucan synthesis initiation.  相似文献
