Calf pancreas microsomes incorporated radioactive D-mannose from GDP-D-[14C]mannose into lipid-bound oligosaccharides extracted with chloroform/methanol/water (10/10/2.5, v/v). Several products, which probably differed in the size of the oligosaccharide moiety, were labeled. These could be partially resolved by thin layer chromatography and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The labeled lipid-bound oligosaccharides were retained on DEAE-cellulose more strongly than synthetic dolichyl alpha-D-[14C]mannopyranosyl phosphate. They were stable to mild alkali, but labile to acid and hot alkali. Acid treatment yielded a neutral 14C-labeled oligosaccharide fraction which was estimated by gel filtration to have a minimum of 8 monosaccharide residues. Hot alkali treatment yielded a mixture of neutral and acidic 14C-labeled oligosaccharides which could be transformed into neutral products by alkaline phosphatase. The D-[14C]mannose residues were alpha-linked at the nonreducing terminus of the oligosaccharides since they could be removed completely with alpha-mannosidase. Most of the D-[14C]mannose-labeled oligosaccharides were retained on concanavalin A Sepharose and eluted with methyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside. Pancreatic dolichyl beta-D-[14C]mannopyranosyl phosphate incubated with calf pancreas microsomes in the presence of sodium taurocholate was efficiently utilized as donor of alpha-D-mannosyl residues in lipid-bound oligosaccharides. The products formed from dolichyl beta-D-[14C]mannopyranosyl phosphate were identical with those formed from GDP-D-[14C]mannose, and evidence was obtained to show that the dolichyl beta-D-[14C]mannopyranosyl phosphate was serving as donor without prior conversion to GDP-D-[14C]mannose. Transfer of mannose from dolichyl beta-D-[14C]mannopyranosyl phosphate to lipid-bound oligosaccharides took place at a pH optimum of 7.3, whereas transfer to the precipitate containing glycoproteins was greatest at pH 6.0 in Tris/maleate buffer. The addition of divalent cation was not required, but low concentrations of EDTA were extremely inhibitory. The carbohydrate composition of the lipid-bound oligosaccharides of microsomal membranes was investigated by gas-liquid chromatography and by reduction with sodium borotritide. A heterogeneous mixture of oligosaccharides containing N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-mannose, and D-glucose varying in proportions from approximately 1/2.5/0.5 to 1/5/1.5 was obtained with glucosamine at the reducing end. Acid treatment of the lipid-bound oligosaccharide fraction yielded dolichyl pyrophosphate, suggesting that at least some of the oligosaccharides were linked to dolichol through a pyrophosphate group.  相似文献

A crude membrane preparation of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardii was found to catalyse the incorporation of D-[14C]mannose from GDP-D-[14C]-mannose into a chloroform/methanol-soluble compound and into a trichloroacetic acid-insoluble polymer fraction. The labelled lipid revealed the chemical and chromatographic properties of a short-chain (about C55-C65) alpha-saturated polyprenyl mannosyl monophosphate. In the presence of detergent both long-chain (C85-C105) dolichol phosphate and alpha-unsaturated undecaprenyl phosphate (C55) were found to be effective as exogenous acceptors of D-mannose from GDP-D-[14C]mannose to yield their corresponding labelled polyprenyl mannosyl phosphates. Exogenous dolichyl phosphate stimulated the incorporation of mannose from GDP-D-[14C]mannose into the polymer fraction 5-7-fold, whereas the mannose moiety from undecaprenyl mannosyl phosphate was not further transferred. Authentic dolichyl phosphate [3H]mannose and partially purified mannolipid formed from GDP-[14C]mannose and exogenous dolichyl phosphate were found to function as direct mannosyl donors for the synthesis of labelled mannoproteins. These results clearly indicate the existence of dolichol-type glycolipids and their role as intermediates in transglycosylation reactions of this algal system. Both the saturation of the alpha-isoprene unit and the length of the polyprenyl chain may be regarded as evolutionary markers.  相似文献

Dolichyl D-[14C]mannosyl phosphate formed in calf pancreas microsomes was compared to dolichyl alpha-D-[14C]mannopyranosyl phosphate, a chemical synthesis of which is described. Jack bean alpha-mannosidase, which converted citronellyl alpha-D-mannopyranosyl phosphate, but not its beta anomer, to citronellyl phosphate and D-mannose, was effective in releasing D-[14C]mannose from dolichyl alpha-D-[14C]manopyranosyl phosphate in the presence of detergent. In contrast, alpha-mannosidase did not cause any significant release from the pancreatic dolichyl D-[14C]mannosyl phosphate. Alkali treatment (0.1 M NaOH in propanol at 65 and 90 degrees) degraded both dolichyl D-[14C]mannosyl phosphates with the formation of water-soluble 14C-labeled products. The pattern of 14C-labeled breakdown products formed from the synthetic dolichyl alpha-D-[14C]mannopyranosyl phosphate differed from that obtained from the pancreatic dolichyl D-[14C]mannosyl phosphate. Dolichyl alpha-D-[14C]mannopyranosyl phosphate yielded several 14C-labeled products, including a trace of D-[14C]mannosyl phosphate, and an acidic fraction which appeared to result from degradation of D-[14C]mannose. The pancreatic dolichyl D-[14C]mannosyl phosphate gave various products, depending on the temperature of the reaction: at 90 degrees, 20 to 30% of the radioactivity was found in D-[14C]mannosyl phosphate and the rest in acidic breakdown products; at 65 degrees, about two-thirds of the radioactivity was recovered in a compound which behaved as D-MANNOSE 2-PHOSPHATE, A Product characteristic of a beta-linked D-mannosyl residue. It is concluded that the pancreatic compound is dolichyl beta-D-[14C]mannosyl phosphate.  相似文献

Microsomal preparations from rat adipose tissue catalyse the transfer of [14C]mannose from GDP-[14C]mannose to an endogenous acceptor forming a [14C]mannosyl lipid. The mannosyl lipid co-chromatographs with hen oviduct dolichyl monophosphate β-mannose on three solvent systems. It is stable to mild alkaline hydrolysis, but strong alkaline treatment yields a compound that co-migrates with mannose 1-phosphate. The mannosyl lipid is labile to mild acid hydrolysis, yielding [14C]mannose. Formation of the compound is reversible by GDP, but not GMP, and is stimulated by exogenous dolichyl phosphate.

The kinetics of transfer of [14C]mannose from GDP-[14C]mannose to form dolichyl monophosphate mannose were studied by using preparations derived from rats fed on one of four diets: G (high glucose), L (high lard), F (fructose) or GC (high glucose, 0.9% cholesterol). The Km and Vmax. values for transfer from GDP-mannose were virtually indistinguishable in the four preparations.

In the absence of exogenous dolichyl phosphate, the largest amount of transfer of [14C]mannose into the mannosyl lipid was observed with preparations from fructose-fed animals. Preparations from glucose-fed animals showed about 60% as much transfer, whereas membranes from rats fed the other diets showed intermediate values between the fructose- and glucose-fed animals. The inclusion of cholesterol in the glucose diet elicited an increase in transfer of mannose.

Under conditions of saturating exogenous dolichyl phosphate, preparations from lard-fed animals have 1.5 times as much enzyme activity as do preparations from animals fed the other three diets.

The transfer of mannose from GDP-mannonse to exogenous glycopeptides and simple glycosides has been shown to be carried out by calf thyroid particles (Adamany, A. M., and Spiro, R. G. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 2830-2841). The present investigation indicates that this mannosylation process is accomplished through two sequential enzymatic reactions. The first involves the transfer of mannose from the sugar nucleotide to an endogenous acceptor to form a compound which has the properties of dolichyl mannosyl phosphate, while in the properties of dolichyl mannosyl phosphate, while in the second reaction this mannolipid serves as the glycosyl donor to exogenous acceptors. The particle-bound enzyme which catalyzed the first reaction utilized GDP-mannose (Km = 0.29 microM) as the most effective mannosyl donor, required a divalent cation, preferably manganese or calcium, and acted optimally at pH 6.3. Mannolipid synthesis was reversed by addition of GDP and a ready exchange of the mannose moiety was observed between [14C]mannolipid and unlabeled GDP-mannose. Exogenously supplied dolichyl phosphate, and to a lesser extent ficaprenyl phosphate, served as acceptors for the transfer reaction. The 14C-labeled endogenous lipid had the same chromatographic behavior as synthetic dolichyl mannosyl phosphate and enzymatically mannosylated dolichyl phosphate. The mannose component in the endogenous lipid was not susceptible to reduction with sodium borohydride and was released by mild acid hydrolysis. Alkaline treatment of the mannolipid released a phosphorylated mannose with properties consistent with that of mannose 2-phosphate. The formation of this compound which can arise from a cyclic 1,2-phosphate indicated, on the basis of steric considerations, that the mannose is present in beta linkage to the phosphate of the lipid. An intermediate role of the mannolipid in the glycosylation of exogenous acceptors was suggested by the observation that addition of dolichyl phosphate to thyroid particles resulted in a marked enhancement of mannose transfer from GDP-mannose to methyl-alpha-D-mannopyranoside acceptor while the presence of the glycoside caused a decrease in the mannolipid level. The glycosyl donor function of the polyisoprenyl mannosyl phosphate in the second reaction of the mannosylation sequence could be directly demonstrated by the transfer of [14C]mannose from purified endogenous mannolipid to either methyl-alpha-D-mannoside or dinitrophenyl unit A glycopeptides by thyroid enzyme in the presence of Triton X-100. The mannosylation of the glycoside was not inhibited by EDTA whereas the transfer of mannose to glycopeptide was cation-dependent. While dolichyl [14C]mannosyl phosphate, prepared from exogenous dolichyl phosphate, served as a donor of mannose to exogenous acceptor, this function could not be fulfilled by ficaprenyl [14C]mannosyl phosphate. The two-step reaction sequence carried out by thyroid enzymes which leads to the formation of an alpha-D-manno-pyranosyl-D-mannose linkage in exogenous acceptors by transfer of mannose from GDP-mannose through a beta-linked intermediate appears to involve a double inversion of anomeric configuration of this sugar.  相似文献

In the presence of exogenous dolichyl phosphate mannosyl transferase activity towards dolichyl phosphate was nearly 3-fold higher in microsomes from pig embryonic liver compared to that from adult liver. After incubation of microsomes from embryonic liver with UDP-N-acetylglucosamine and GDP-[14C]mannose lipid-linked tri- to undecasaccharides were discovered in CHCl3-CH3OH (2:1, v/v) and CHCl3-CH3OH-H2O (1:1:0.3, by vol) extracts. The main proportion of the radioactivity was incorporated into penta-, sexta and undecasaccharides. Amphomycin at concentration 500 micrograms/ml inhibited almost completely dolichyl phosphate mannose synthesis in embryonic liver microsomes without inhibition the formation of lipid-linked penta- and sextasaccharides. It was suggested that mannose transferred to lipid-linked tetra- to heptasaccharides comes from GDP-mannose but not from dolichyl phosphate mannose.  相似文献

A study was conducted to determine whether retinyl phosphate would act as substrate for the enzymatic synthesis of mannosyl retinyl phosphate. Retinyl phosphate, prepared chemically, supported the growth of vitamin A-deficient rats at the same rate as retinol. It also stimulated the uptake of [14C]mannose from GDP-[14C]mannose into total chloroform-methanol extractable lipid. This reaction occurred in the presence of ATP, Mn2+, detergent (Zonyl A), and a membrane-rich enzyme preparation from the livers of vitamin A-deficient rats, provided that a lipid extract of the membrane preparation of alpha-L-lecithin was also added. Total chloroform-methanol-extractable, labeled mannolipid was separated into two principal labeled mannolipids by thin-layer or column chromatography or by differential solvent extraction. The properties of these mannolipids identified them as glycophospholipids: one was identical with authentic synthetic dolichyl mannosyl phosphate, and the other was concluded to be mannosyl retinyl phosphate because of its incorporation of radioactivity from [3H]retinyl phosphate, its rapid hydrolysis by dilute acid, and the formation of substance that cochromatographed with retinol upon its acid hydrolysis. The presence of ATP or GTP was essential for the stimulation of mannolipid synthesis, probably because of their protective action on the substrates against phosphatases present in the crude enzyme fraction. A pH of 6.0-6.2 favored the formation of dolichyl mannosyl phosphate; a higher pH (6.7-7.0) that of mannosyl retinyl phosphate.  相似文献

The labelled glycopeptides obtained by Pronase digestion of rat intestinal epithelial cell membranes were examined by gel filtration after injection of D-[2-3H]mannose and L-[6-3H]fucose. Three labelled fraction were eluted in the following order from Bio-Gel P-6, Fraction I, which was excluded from the gel, was labelled mostly with [3H]fucose and slightly with [3H]mannose. Fraction II contained "complex" asparagine-linked oligosaccharides since it was labelled with [3H]mannose and [3H]fucose, was stable to mild alkali treatment, and resistant to endo-beta-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase H. Fraction III contained "high-mannose" asparagine-linked oligosaccharides, which were labelled with [3H]mannose, but not with [3H]fucose; these were sensitive to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H, and were adsorbed on concanavalin A-Sepharose and subsequently eluted with methyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside. The time course of incorporation of [3H]mannose into these glycopeptides in microsomal fractions showed that high-mannose oligosaccharides were precursors of complex oligosaccharides. The rate of this processing was faster in rapidly dividing crypt cells than in differentiated villus cells. The ratio of radioactively labelled complex oligosaccharides to high-mannose oligosaccharides, 3h after [3H]mannose injection, was greater in crypt than in villus-cell lateral membranes. Luminal membranes of both crypt and villus cells were greatly enriched in labelled complex oligosaccharides compared with the labelling in lateral-basal membranes. These studies show that intestinal epithelial cells are polarized with respect to the structure of the asparagine-linked oligosaccharides on their membrane glycoproteins. During differentiation of these cells quantitative differences in labelled membrane glycopeptides, But no major qualitative change, were observed.  相似文献

The subcellular distribution of the enzyme catalysing the conversion of retinyl phosphate and GDP-[14C]mannose into [14C]mannosyl retinyl phosphate was determined by using subcellular fractions of rat liver. Purity of fractions, as determined by marker enzymes, was 80% or better. The amount of mannosyl retinyl phosphate formed (pmol/min per mg of protein) for each fraction was: rough endoplasmic reticulum 0.48 +/- 0.09 (mean +/- S.D.); smooth membranes (consisting of 60% smooth endoplasmic reticulum and 40% Golgi apparatus), 0.18 +/- 0.03; Golgi apparatus, 0.13 +/- 0.03; and plasma membrane 0.02.  相似文献

Hamster liver post-nuclear membranes catalyze the transfer of mannose from GDP-mannose to endogenous dolichyl phosphate and to a second major endogenous acidic lipid. This mannolipid was believed to be synthesized from endogenous retinyl phosphate and was tentatively identified as retinyl phosphate mannose (Ret-P-Man) (De Luca, L. M., Brugh, M. R. Silverman-Jones, C. S. and Shidoji, Y. (1982) Biochem. J. 208, 159-170). To characterize this endogenous mannolipid in more detail, we isolated and purified the mannolipid from incubations containing hamster liver membranes and GDP-[14C]mannose and compared its properties to those of authentic Ret-P-Man. We found that the endogenous mannolipid was separable from authentic Ret-P-Man on a Mono Q anion exchange column, did not exhibit the absorbance spectrum characteristic of a retinol moiety, and was stable to mild acid under conditions which cleave authentic Ret-P-Man. The endogenous mannolipid was sensitive to mild base hydrolysis and mannose was released from the mannolipid by snake venom phosphodiesterase digestion. These properties were consistent with the endogenous acceptor being phosphatidic acid. Addition of exogenous phosphatidic acid, but not phospholipids with a head group blocking the phosphate moiety, to incubations containing hamster liver membranes and GDP-[14C]mannose resulted in the synthesis of a mannolipid with chromatographic and physical properties identical to the endogenous mannolipid. A double-labeled mannolipid was synthesized in incubations containing hamster liver membranes, GDP-[14C]mannose, and [3H]phosphatidic acid. Mannosyl transfer to exogenous phosphatidic acid was saturable with increasing concentrations of phosphatidic acid and GDP-mannose and specific for glycosyl transfer from GDP-mannose. Class E Thy-1-negative mutant mouse lymphoma cell membranes, which are defective in dolichyl phosphate mannose synthesis, also fail to transfer mannose from GDP-mannose to exogenous phosphatidic acid or retinyl phosphate. Amphomycin, an inhibitor of dolichyl phosphate mannose synthesis, blocked mannosyl transfer to the endogenous lipid, and to exogenous retinyl phosphate and phosphatidic acid. We conclude that the same mannosyltransferase responsible for dolichyl phosphate mannose synthesis can also utilize in vitro exogenous retinyl phosphate and phosphatidic acid as well as endogenous phosphatidic acid as mannosyl acceptors.  相似文献

Dolichyl mannosyl phosphate and GDPmannose were active substrates for the transfer of mannose to methyl-alpha-D-mannose, p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-mannose, and free mannose with rat liver microsomal membranes. The products formed during dolichyl mannosyl phosphate incubation with methyl-alpha-D-mannose or with mannose were alpha-linked. The disaccharides formed by incubation of dolichyl mannosyl phosphate or GDPmannose with mannose were identified by paper chromatography and electrophoresis as mannose-alpha-1,2-mannose and mannose-alpha-1,3-mannose. synthesis of each product was dependent on the assay conditions used and was most markedly affected by the presence of detergent. Transfer of mannose from either substrate to form mannose-alpha-1,3-mannose was severely inhibited by Triton X-100.  相似文献

In the absence of detergent, the transfer of mannose from GDP-mannose to rat liver microsomal vesicles was highly stimulated by exogenous retinyl phosphate in incubations containing bovine serum albumin, as measured in a filter binding assay. Under these conditions 65% of mannose 6-phosphatase activity was latent. The transfer process was linear with time up to 5min and with protein concentration up to 1.5mg/0.2ml. It was also temperature-dependent. The microsomal uptake of mannose was highly dependent on retinyl phosphate and was saturable against increasing amounts of retinyl phosphate, a concentration of 15mum giving half-maximal transfer. The uptake system was also saturated by increasing concentrations of GDP-mannose, with an apparent K(m) of 18mum. Neither exogenous dolichyl phosphate nor non-phosphorylated retinoids were active in this process in the absence of detergent. Phosphatidylethanolamine and synthetic dipalmitoylglycerophosphocholine were also without activity. Several water-soluble organic phosphates (1.5mm), such as phenyl phosphate, 4-nitrophenyl phosphate, phosphoserine and phosphocholine, did not inhibit the retinyl phosphate-stimulated mannosyl transfer to microsomes. This mannosyl-transfer activity was highest in microsomes and marginal in mitochondria, plasma and nuclear membranes. It was specific for mannose residues from GDP-mannose and did not occur with UDP-[(3)H]galactose, UDP- or GDP-[(14)C]glucose, UDP-N-acetyl[(14)C]-glucosamine and UDP-N-acetyl[(14)C]galactosamine, all at 24mum. The mannosyl transfer was inhibited 85% by 3mm-EDTA and 93% by 0.8mm-amphomycin. At 2min, 90% of the radioactivity retained on the filter could be extracted with chloroform/methanol (2:1, v/v) and mainly co-migrated with retinyl phosphate mannose by t.l.c. This mannolipid was shown to bind to immunoglobulin G fraction of anti-(vitamin A) serum and was displaced by a large excess of retinoic acid, thus confirming the presence of the beta-ionone ring in the mannolipid. The amount of retinyl phosphate mannose formed in the bovine serum albumin/retinyl phosphate incubation is about 100-fold greater than in incubations containing 0.5% Triton X-100. In contrast with the lack of activity as a mannosyl acceptor for exogenous dolichyl phosphate in the present assay system, endogenous dolichyl phosphate clearly functions as an acceptor. Moreover in the same incubations a mannolipid with chromatographic properties of retinyl phosphate mannose was also synthesized from endogenous lipid acceptor. The biosynthesis of this mannolipid (retinyl phosphate mannose) was optimal at MnCl(2) concentrations between 5 and 10mm and could not be detected below 0.6mm-MnCl(2), when synthesis of dolichyl phosphate mannose from endogenous dolichyl phosphate was about 80% of optimal synthesis. Under optimal conditions (5mm-MnCl(2)) endogenous retinyl phosphate mannose represented about 20% of dolichyl phosphate mannose at 15min of incubation at 37 degrees C.  相似文献

Incubation of liver microsomes from hibernating ground squirrel with GDP-[14C]mannose and exogenous dolichyl phosphate resulted in the synthesis of dolichyl phosphate [14C]mannose. The mannosyltransferase activity was about 3-fold higher in microsomes from hibernating ground squirrels than in those from active animals. Incubation for 30 min of liver microsomes from hibernating animals with dolichyl pyrophosphate N,N'-diacetyl-[14C]chitobiose and GDP-[14C]mannose led to the synthesis of lipid-[14C]trisaccharide. When liver microsomes were incubated with lipid-[14C]trisaccharide and unlabelled GDP-mannose, lipid-tetra- to heptasaccharides were discovered in the chloroform-methanol (2:1) extract. Since, under the experimental conditions, negligible synthesis of dolichyl phosphate mannose was observed, it was assumed that GDP-mannose was a donor of mannose in the conversion of lipid-trisaccharide into lipid-oligosaccharides containing 2-5 mannose residues.  相似文献

Freshly prepared protoplasts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae X 2180 incorporate [3H]mannose and [14C]glucose for about 30 min into glycolipids and mannoproteins. Among the radioactive glycolipids formed dolichyl phosphate mannose, dolichyl phosphate glucose and dolichyl pyrophosphate oligosaccharides have been identified. The oligosaccharides released by weak acid from the dolichyl pyrophosphate were treated with endo-N-acetylglucosaminidase H and separated by gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-4. The largest oligosaccharide obtained corresponded exactly in size to Glc3Man9GlcNAc1 the compound formed also in animal tissues. Other oligosaccharides released from dolichyl pyrophosphate in addition to the glucose containing ones were mainly Man9GlcNAc1 and Man8GlcNAc1. No mannosyl oligosaccharide corresponding in size to the total inner core region found in native mannoproteins could be detected in a lipid-bound form.The radioactive dolichyl pyrophosphate oligosaccharides were formed transiently; after 40 min only about 40% of the maximal radioactivity was observed in this fraction. In the presence of cycloheximide this decrease did not take place.It is concluded that the dolichol pathway of N-glycosylation of glycoproteins in yeast cells is very similar, if not identical, to the reaction sequence worked out for animal cells.Dedicated to Professor Dr. Otto Kandler on his 60th birthday  相似文献

A particulate fraction from porcine aorta catalyzed the incorporation of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) from UDP-[3H]GlcNAc into both GlcNAc-pyrophosphorylpolyprenol and GlcNAc-GlcNAc-pyrophosphorylpolyprenol. This transfer utilized endogenous lipid and required a divalent cation. Mn2+ was the best metal ion and was optimum at 2.3 mM. This same particulate fraction was previously shown to transfer mannose from GDP-[14C]mannose to endogenous lipid to form mannosylphosphorylpolyprenol (Chambers, J., and Elbein, A.D. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 6904-6915). Both the GlcNAc activities and the mannose activity were solubilized by treatment of the particulate fraction with the detergent Nonidet P-40. The enzymes were partially purified by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and on Sephadex G-200. These soluble enzymes required the addition of acceptor lipid for activity. An acidic lipid fraction, isolated from pig liver and having the properties of dolichyl phosphate, was active with either the GlcNAc or the mannose transferase. Chemically synthesized dolichyl phosphate was also active with either of these enzymes. The products formed from either GlcNAc or mannose by the soluble transferases were similar to those formed by the particulate enzyme. Thus the major product formed from UDP-[3H]GlcNAc was GlcNAc-pyrophosphoryldolichol with small amounts of the disaccharide-lipid while the product formed from GDP-[14C]mannose was mannosylphosphoryldolichol.  相似文献

The incorporation of [14C]mannose from GDP-[14C]mannose into dolichyl mannosyl phosphate in rat liver microsomes showed a biphasic time-course; an initial rapid incorporation of mannose which ceased within 2 min and a much slower incorporation which continued for 30 min. In the presence of 0.18 mM (250 μg/ml) bacitracin, the rapid incorporation proceeded normally whereas the slow incorporation was inhibited by about 70%. Upon addition of dolichyl pyrophosphate, the microsomes catalyzed the dephosphorylation of the added compound which was also inhibited by bacitracin. The results, coupled with several other observations, suggest that the rapid reaction represents the transfer of mannose to endogenous dolichyl phosphate whereas the bacitracin-sensitive, slow reaction represents a more complex process in which the enzymatic dephosphorylation of dolichyl pyrophosphate is involved as a rate-limiting step.  相似文献

Microsomal preparations from malignant human breast tumors catalyzed the transfer of mannose and glucose from GDP-[14C]-Man and UDP-[14C]-Glc into lipid-linked sugars and glycoprotein-like substances. As judged by several criteria the obtained lipid-linked monosaccharides behaved as dolichyl phosphate mannose and dolichyl phosphate glucose whereas lipid-linked oligosaccharides behaved as polyprenyl diphosphate derivatives. The optimum conditions for mannosyl- and glucosyl-transfer reactions and the effect of dolichyl phosphate, detergent and EDTA on incubation mixture were described.  相似文献

The initial rate of dolichyl phosphate mannose biosynthesis was measured in white-matter membranes from pig brain at various ages from before birth throughout the period of most rapid brain development. Dolichyl phosphate mannose synthase activity increased from prenatal values to a maximum in 3 week-old animals, and gradually decreased to adult values after 8 weeks of age. The nature of the developmental change was investigated by enzymic and biochemical comparisons of the membrane preparations from the most active age (3 weeks) and adult controls. The specific activity of dolichyl phosphate mannose synthase in preparations from actively myelinating animals was approx. 3-fold higher than adults when mannolipid formation was assayed with saturating concentrations of GDP-[14C]mannose and utilizing only endogenous acceptor lipid. No major variations were found in the apparent Km values for GDP-mannose or exogenous dolichyl monophosphate. However, the ratio of dolichyl phosphate mannose synthase activity for myelinating animals/adult animals decreased significantly when large amounts of exogenous dolichyl monophosphate were added to the incubation mixtures. Dolichyl phosphate mannose synthase activity was also compared in white-matter membranes depleted of endogenous dolichyl monophosphate by enzymic mannosylation or treatment with butanol. When these preparations were assayed with identical amounts of exogenous dolichyl monophosphate, the dolichyl monophosphate-depleted membranes from actively myelinating animals contained only 20–30% more dolichyl phosphate mannose synthase activity. Overall, these studies strongly suggest that the developmental change in dolichyl phosphate mannose synthase activity is due primarily to the presence of a relatively lower amount of endogenous dolichyl monophosphate being accessible to the mannosyltransferase in the white-matter membranes from adult animals.  相似文献

Crithidia fasciculata cells incubated with [14C]glucose or membranes derived from the same protozoan incubated with GDP-[14C]mannose were found to synthesize a lipid monophosphate mannose. No glucosylated mild acid-labile compound was formed in vivo or in vitro when UDP-[14C]glucose was used instead of GDP-[14C]mannose. The lipid moiety of the mannosyl derivative formed behaved as a polyprenol having 11 isoprene residues as judged by t.l.c. and be gel filtration in sodium deoxycholate-containing buffers. The mannolipid was not broken on treatment with hot phenol, suggesting the existence of an alpha-saturated isoprene unit. This is the first case reported in which a mannosyl phospholipid involved in sugar transfer in a eukaryotic cell behaves as if it was similar to that of bacterial polyprenols, although having its putative alpha-isoprene unit saturated to the same extent as dolichols from higher organisms.  相似文献

Dolichyl mannosyl phosphate and GDPmannose were active substrates for the transfer of mannose to methyl-α-d-mannose, p-nitrophenyl-α-d-mannose, and free mannose with rat liver microsomal membranes. The products formed during dolichyl mannosyl phosphate incubation with methyl-α-d-mannose or with mannose were α-linked. The dissaccharides formed by incubation of dolichyl mannosyl phosphate or GDPmannose with mannose were identified by paper chromatography and electrophoresis as mannose-α-1,2-mannose and mannose-α-1,3-mannose. Synthesis of each product was dependent on the assay conditions used and was most markedly affected by the presence of detergent. Transfer of mannose from either substrate to form mannose-α-1,3-mannose was severely inhibited by Triton X-100.  相似文献
