Dolichyl phosphate, dolichol C80-105 (dolichol 17:dihydroheptadecaprenol-dolichol 21:dihydrohexeicosaprenol), and dolichol C55 (dolichol 11:dihydroundecaprenol) were separated by anion-exchange paper chromatography. Squalene, sterols, phospholipids, anionic glycolipids, and glycerol did not migrate as dolichyl phosphate, dolichol C80-105, and dolichol C55 under our elution conditions. However, since the Rf of triglycerides was similar to that of dolichol C80-105, saponification, prior to chromatography, removed traces of triglycerides. Silica gel thin-layer chromatography (TLC) allowed the separation of dolichol C80-105 from dolichol C55, whereas dolichyl phosphate was eluted with other lipids. Incubation of spontaneously transformed cells derived from rat astrocytes primary cultures with [2-14C]acetate, saponification of the extracted lipids, and anion-exchange paper chromatography revealed the presence of radioactive dolichyl phosphate and dolichol C80-105 (15 pmol/mg protein). Extraction of labeled dolichyl phosphate followed by acid phosphatase treatment and subsequent analysis on TLC confirmed the identity of dolichyl phosphate since all the radioactivity was associated with dolichol C55. Treatment of the transformed cells with 30 microM 7-ketocholesterol or 7 beta-hydroxycholesterol stimulated markedly (two- to threefold) the incorporation of [2-14C]-acetate in both dolichol C80-105 and dolichyl phosphate. These data demonstrate that anion-exchange paper chromatography is technically suitable for the separation and analysis of dolichol C55, dolichol C80-105, and dolichyl phosphate in cultured cells prelabeled with radioactive precursors.  相似文献

Abstract: The distributions of mevalonate pathway lipids in various organs of a mouse strain used as a model for Niemann-Pick's type C disease were analyzed. Extensive accumulation of cholesterol was observed in all tissues with the exception of the brain, where the content of this lipid was decreased. The changes in total dolichol contents of most organs varied from a 50% decrease in the lung to a twofold increase in kidney and heart. There was relative enrichment of longer-chain dolichols, but no increase in the relative amount of α-unsaturated polyprenols was observed. The levels of dolichyl phosphate in all organs were increased, and most of this lipid was associated with bound oligosaccharides or proteins. Ubiquinone levels were largely unchanged. Subfractionation studies revealed that heavy and light lysosomes exhibited a 10-fold increase in cholesterol level, the amount of dolichol was decreased in lysosomes and increased in microsomes, and there was an increase in the dolichyl phosphate levels of all three of these subfractions. These results indicate that in diseased mice cholesterol accumulation in various organs is paralleled by an increase in the dolichyl phosphate concentration, whereas dolichol transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to lysosomes is inhibited.  相似文献

Dolichyl monophosphate and its sugar derivatives in plants.   总被引:10,自引:5,他引:5       下载免费PDF全文
A glucose acceptor was isolated from soya beans by extraction with chloroform/methanol (2:1, v/v), followed by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography of the extract. This acceptor could not be distinguished from liver dolichyl monophosphate by t.l.c. It could replace dolichyl monophosphate as a mannose acceptor with a liver enzyme and its glucosylated derivative could replace dolichyl monophosphate glucose as a glucose donor in the same system. These results, together with those already reported [Pont Lezica, Brett, Romero Martinez & Dankert (1975) Biochem, Biophys. Res. Commun. 66, 980-987], indicate that the acceptor from soya bean is a dolichyl monophosphate. Gel filtration of its glucosylated derivative on Sephadex G-75 in the presence of sodium deoxycholate indicated that the acceptor contained 17 or 18 isoprene units. An enzyme preparation from pea seedlings was shown to use endogenous acceptors to form lipid phosphate sugars containing mannose and N-acetylglucosamine from GDP-mannose and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine. Chromatographic and degradative techniques indicated that the compounds formed were lipid monophosphate mannose, lipid pyrophosphate N-acetylglucosamine, lipid pyrophosphate chitobiose and a series of lipid pyrophosphate oligosaccharides containing both mannose and N-acetylglucosamine. None of these compounds was degraded by catalytic hydrogenation, and so the lipid moiety in each case was probably an alpha-saturated polyprenol. The endogenous acceptors for mannose and N-acetylglucosamine in peas may therefore be dolichyl monophosphate, as has been found in mammalian systems.  相似文献

Lipids noncovalently associated with cytoskeletal (CS) proteins of mouse mammary epithelial cells (MMEC) grown in primary culture were analyzed. A CS fraction, prepared by subjecting MMEC to 1.5 M KCl and 1% Triton X-100 in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4), was extracted 4-6 times with chloroform/methanol. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) indicated that in comparison to whole cell lipid extracts, CS lipids consisted mostly of neutral lipids, especially triacylglycerols and, possibly cholesteryl esters. TLC analysis of chloroform/methanol CS extracts prepared from MMEC that had been incubated 4 h in [3H]palmitate revealed similar results, with the majority of label appearing in triacylglycerols and other neutral lipids. By autoradiography of sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels, all of the major CS proteins appeared labelled. The major regions of autoradiographic density of the gel were excised, the protein solubilized, and the lipids extracted and subjected to TLC. Most of the radiolabel appeared at the origin and ion front and resolved as neutral lipids. In contrast, keratins of 54-55 kDa and 46 kDa appeared to be associated noncovalently with a higher ratio of polar lipids (possibly phospholipids) to nonpolar (neutral lipids). Very little radioactivity, mostly neutral lipid, was associated with actin. A previously unidentified CS component of 30 kDa had primarily noncovalently bound neutral lipid. The results are discussed in terms of the apparent interactions of keratin filaments with the plasma membrane, nuclear envelope and cytoplasmic organelles.  相似文献

Abstract The peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls is biosynthesised using a lipid carrier undecaprenyl phosphate to assemble and transport the MurNAc(GlcNAc)-pentapeptide precursor. Similar lipid-linked cycles are involved in the biosynthesis of other bacterial exopolysaccharides and eukaryotic asparagine-linked glycoproteins, the latter involving the structurally related dolichyl phosphate as a lipid carrier. Recent protein sequence data and common inhibitors of the bacterial and eukaryotic systems have revealed functional similarities between the two systems. Biological and physical studies on the lipid carriers themselves have provided clues to their role in oligosaccharide translocation, but have not revealed significant differences in function between undecaprenyl phosphate and dolichyl phosphate. The presence of dolichyl phosphate and a family of saturated isoprenoid lipids in Archaebacteria suggests a possible evolutionary link between the two systems.  相似文献

The ceroid lipofuscinoses are inherited lysosomal diseases of children characterized by a fluorescent lipopigment stored in a variety of tissues. Defects in lipid metabolism or the control of lipid peroxidation have been postulated to explain their pathogenesis. In the present study, lipopigment was isolated from the liver of sheep affected with ceroid lipofuscinosis. It was 70% protein, the rest being mainly lipids. These were only one-sixth as fluorescent as total liver lipids, but contained a number of fluorophors. None were major components of the lipopigment or the postulated fluorescent product of lipid peroxidation. Lipopigment lipids included the lysosomal marker bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate that contained 42.9% linoleate and 16.5% linolenate. Lipopigment neutral lipids were dolichol, dolichyl esters, ubiquinone, free fatty acids, and cholesterol, indicative of a lysosomal origin of the lipopigment. Phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylethanolamine were present in proportions and with fatty acid profiles typical of lysosomes. No differences were found between the lipids of total control and affected livers, nor the fatty acid profiles of their phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, or triglycerides. It is concluded that ovine ceroid lipofuscinosis is not a lipidosis, nor does the lipopigment arise from the abnormal peroxidation of lipids. Strong similarities between the lipopigment and the age pigment lipofuscin were noted.  相似文献

To establish on a quantitative basis the subcellular distribution of the enzymes that glycosylate dolichyl phosphate in rat liver, preliminary kinetic studies on the transfer of mannose, glucose, and N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate from the respective (14)C- labeled nucleotide sugars to exogenous dolichyl phosphate were conducted in liver microsomes. Mannosyltransferase, glucosyltransferase, and, to a lesser extent, N- acetylglucosamine-phosphotransferase were found to be very unstable at 37 degrees C in the presence of Triton X-100, which was nevertheless required to disperse the membranes and the lipid acceptor in the aqueous reaction medium. The enzymes became fairly stable in the range of 10-17 degrees C and the reactions then proceeded at a constant velocity for at least 15 min. Conditions under which the reaction products are formed in amount proportional to that of microsomes added are described. For N- acetylglucosaminephosphotransferase it was necessary to supplement the incubation medium with microsomal lipids. Subsequently, liver homogenates were fractionated by differential centrifugation, and the microsome fraction, which contained the bulk of the enzymes glycosylating dolichyl phosphate, was analyzed by isopycnic centrifugation in a sucrose gradient without any previous treatment, or after addition of digitonin. The centrifugation behavior of these enzymes was compared to that of a number of reference enzymes for the endoplasmic reticulum, the golgi complex, the plasma membranes, and mitochondria. It was very simily to that of enzymes of the endoplasmic reticulum, especially glucose-6-phosphatase. Subcellular preparations enriched in golgi complex elements, plasma membranes, outer membranes of mitochondira, or mitoplasts showed for the transferases acting on dolichyl phosphate relative activities similar to that of glucose- 6-phosphatase. It is concluded that glycosylations of dolichyl phosphate into mannose, glucose, and N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate derivatives is restricted to the endoplasmic reticulum in liver cells, and that the enzymes involved are similarly active in the smooth and in the rough elements.  相似文献

Rat liver slices were pulse labeled for 6 min with [3H]mevalonolactone and then chased for 90 min with unlabeled mevalonolactone in order to study the mechanism of dolichyl phosphate biosynthesis. The cholesterol pathway was also monitored and served to verify the pulse-chase. Under conditions in which radioactivity in the methyl sterol fraction chased to cholesterol, radioactivity in alpha-unsaturated polyprenyl (pyro)-phosphate chased almost exclusively into dolichyl (pyro)phosphate. Lesser amounts of radioactivity appeared in alpha-unsaturated polyprenol and dolichol, and neither exhibited significant decline after 90 min of incubation. The relative rates of cholesterol versus dolichyl phosphate biosynthesis were studied in rat liver under four different nutritional conditions using labeled acetate, while the absolute rates of cholesterol synthesis were determined using 3H2O. From these determinations, the absolute rates of dolichyl phosphate synthesis were calculated. The absolute rates of cholesterol synthesis were found to vary 42-fold while the absolute rates of dolichyl phosphate synthesis were unchanged. To determine the basis for this effect, the rates of synthesis of cholesterol and dolichyl phosphate were quantitated as a function of [3H]mevalonolactone concentration. Plots of nanomoles incorporated into the two lipids were nearly parallel, yielding Km values on the order of 1 mM. In addition, increasing concentrations of mevinolin yielded parallel inhibition of incorporation of [3H]acetate into cholesterol and dolichyl phosphate. The specific activity of squalene synthase in liver microsomes from rats having the highest rate of cholesterol synthesis was only 2-fold greater than in microsomes from rats having the lowest rate. Taken together, the results suggest that the maintenance of constant dolichyl phosphate synthesis under conditions of enhanced cholesterogenesis is not due to saturation of the dolichyl phosphate pathway by either farnesyl pyrophosphate or isopentenyl pyrophosphate but coordinate regulation of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase and a reaction on the pathway from farnesyl pyrophosphate to cholesterol.  相似文献

Mannosylphosphodolichol phosphodiesterase, which catalyzes the release of mannose from mannosylphosphodolichol, was solubilized from chicken liver microsomes by treatment with the non-ionic detergent, Emulgen 909. The enzyme was partially purified using ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, and gel filtration on Sepharose 6B. The enzyme showed absolute requirement for sulfhydryl reducing agents. The enzyme activity was stimulated by the addition of CaCl2 and Emulgen 909 and exhibited a pH optimum around 5.3. The Km value for mannosylphosphodolichol was found to be 0.43 microM. The activity was competitively inhibited by dolichyl phosphate and dolichol and the Ki value for dolichyl phosphate was estimated to be 12.5 microM. The purified preparation had no activity toward N-acetylglucosaminyldiphosphodolichol, glucosylphosphodolichol, mannose 1-phosphate, or artificial substrates for mannosidases, glucosidases, acid phosphatase, and acid phosphodiesterase. A heat-stable factor which stabilizes the mannosylphosphodolichol phosphodiesterase was separated from the enzyme by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. It was precipitated by trichloroacetic acid and not extracted into lipid solvents. The separation resulted in the complete loss of the enzyme activity and the restoration of the activity was not observed when the factor was added back to the enzyme solution.  相似文献

Dolichyl phosphates of different chain length (C35, C55 , C75 , Dol-mixture of C90 , 95, 100, 105 and C110 ) were tested as lipid acceptors in transglycosylation reactions. In the absence of exogenously added dolichyl phosphates there were no differences in the rate of synthesis in liver of dolichyl phosphate mannose, dolichyl phosphate glucose and dolichyl pyrophosphate N-acetylglucosamine between normal and ethionine-treated animals. Addition of exogenous dolichyl phosphates of different chain length stimulated the synthesis of dolichyl phosphate mannose and dolichyl pyrophosphate N-acetyl-glucosamine 2 to 4 times depending on the chain length of dolichols , both in normal and ethionine-treated animals. In liver of ethionine-treated rats the formation of dolichyl phosphate glucose was not stimulated. Following ethionine treatment the concentration of free and esterified with fatty acids dolichols was increased.  相似文献

The steroid hormone 17 beta-estradiol dramatically induces uterine N-linked glycoprotein assembly [Dutt, A., Tang, J.-P., Welply, J. K., & Carson, D. D. (1986) Endocrinology (Baltimore) 118, 661-673]. To determine the role that dolichyl phosphate availability plays in this induction, we studied the effects of estrogen priming on the content of dolichyl phosphate and the distribution of dolichyl phosphate among various glycolipids in uteri. Dolichol-linked saccharides were metabolically labeled to equilibrium with either [3H]glucosamine or [3H]mannose and extracted from primary explants of uterine tissue. The amount of dolichol-linked saccharide was calculated from the specific radioactivity determined for the corresponding sugar nucleotides extracted from the tissues. The major dolichol-linked saccharides identified were mannosylphosphoryldolichol (MPD), oligosaccharylpyrophosphoryldolichol (OSL), and N,N'-diacetylchitobiosylpyrophosphoryldolichol (CBL). Estrogen increased the levels of MPD and OSL 4-fold; however, CBL levels did not change. After 3 days of treatment, the levels of these glycolipids were very similar to those in uteri from pregnant mice. Remarkably, MPD constituted 90-95% of dolichol-linked saccharides detected under all conditions. The tissue contents of total dolichyl phosphate and alkali-labile dolichyl phosphate, presumably MPD, were estimated by liquid chromatography. The levels of alkali-labile dolichyl phosphate determined in this way were in good agreement with the values estimated for MPD by metabolic labeling; moreover, alkali-labile dolichyl phosphate constituted 50-98% of the total dolichyl phosphate pool. The variations in MPD content depended upon the steroid hormone influence, most notably that of estrogen.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Dolichyl phosphates of various chain length ranging from 7 to 22 isoprene units were tested as lipid acceptors in transglycosylation reactions in chicken liver and Hepatoma MC-29. In the presence of exogenous dolichyl phosphate mixture (18 and 19 isoprene units) the synthesis of dolichyl pyrophosphate N-acetylglucosamine and dolichyl phosphate mannose increased 3 times both in the liver and Hepatoma MC-29, while the formation of dolichyl phosphate glucose was 4 fold higher in the liver and 6-fold higher in Hepatoma MC-29. In liver microsomes the maximum rate of the stimulation of glycosylation was achieved by exogenous dolichyl phosphates, containing 18 and 19 isoprene units, while glycosyl transferases in microsomes from Hepatoma MC-29 did not show any structural requirements to the chain length of dolichyl phosphates.  相似文献

Summary Microsome enriched Ceratitis capitata extracts synthesized a glucosylated lipid linked oligosaccharide. Its properties were closely related to those of the previously described insect mannosylated dolichyl diphosphate oligosaccharides and almost the same as those of the rat liver dolichyl-diphosphate-(GlcNAc)2-(Man)9-(Glc)1–3. The saccharide moiety of, the latter was transferred to an unknown endogenous protein-like acceptor by the fly extracts. These represent the first evidence of a protein glycosylation in a pluricellular invertebrate through dolichyl derivatives.Abbreviations Dol-P dolichyl phosphate - Dol-P-P dolichyl diphosphate  相似文献

Chicken liver mitochondria contain enzymes for the dolichol cycle. GDPmannose dolicholphosphate mannosyltransferase has been solubilized with Emulgen 909 and purified. The purified enzyme was not homogeneous, but highly specific for GDPmannose and dolichyl phosphate. The enzyme activity was stimulated by MgCl2 (3 mM optimum) and exhibited a pH optimum at around 7.2. Bisubstrate kinetic analysis indicated that the enzyme follows a sequential mechanism. The Km values for GDPmannose and dolichyl phosphate were 0.43 and 14.3 microM, respectively. The purified enzyme was labile and lost its activity on storage at 0 degree C overnight or incubation at 30 degrees C or higher temperature. Inactivation could be prevented by the addition of heat-denatured mitochondrial extract. Further investigation revealed that phospholipids and dolichyl phosphate are responsible for the stabilization. Single addition of either phospholipid or dolichyl phosphate showed little activity, but the combination of these lipids enhanced the stabilizing activity greatly. Eight naturally occurring phospholipids were tested and found to be effective in combination with dolichyl phosphate. Among these, sphingomyelin was the most effective. Dolichol could partially substitute dolichyl phosphate but worked at higher concentrations.  相似文献

Previous results suggested that F2A8, a glycosylation mutant of Chinese hamster ovary cells, had a lower amount of dolichyl phosphate available for asparagine-linked glycosylation reactions relative to parental cells. The steady-state amounts and identities of polyisoprenoid lipids were determined by incubating F2A8, its parental cell line B4-2-1, and wild-type Chinese hamster ovary cells for 24 h with [2-3H]mevalonate. The neutral lipids, ubiquinone, cholesterol, and cholesteryl esters, which were the most highly labeled from [3H]mevalonate, were labeled equally in all three cell types. In wild-type and B4-2-1 cells, mevalonate incorporation into the anionic glycosylated and phosphorylated derivatives of dolichol was 10-fold higher than into the neutral free dolichol and dolichyl esters. In contrast, in F2A8 cells, label accumulated in neutral polyisoprenol lipids, so that the ratio of neutral to anionic lipids was 1:1 rather than 1:10. In wild-type and B4-2-1 cells, the polyisoprenoid found as free alcohol and in phosphorylated and glycosylated forms was shown by high pressure liquid chromatography using a silica column to be primarily dolichol, a polyisoprenol that has a saturated terminal isoprene unit. In contrast, in F2A8 cells the polyisoprenoid found primarily as the free alcohol and in phosphorylated and glycosylated forms appeared to be completely unsaturated polyprenol. The distribution of chain lengths of the labeled polyisoprenols of F2A8, B4-2-1, and wild-type cells was the same as determined by high pressure liquid chromatography using a reverse-phase column, with the predominant chain length being 19 isoprene units. These results combined with our previous studies on the phenotype of the F2A8 mutant indicate that the unsaturated polyprenyl phosphate derivatives do not function as well as dolichyl phosphate derivatives in cellular glycosylation reactions.  相似文献

GDP- and UDP-deoxyglucose inhibit the incorporation of glucose from UDP-glucose into dolichyl phosphate glucose and dolichyl pyrophosphate oligosaccharides. GDP-deoxyglucose inhibits by competing with the physiological nucleotide sugars for dolichyl phosphate, and dolichyl phosphate deoxyglucose is formed. This inhibition is reversed by excess of dolichyl phosphate. UDP-deoxyglucose does not give rise to a lipid-linked derivative, and inhibition by this analog is not reversed by dolichyl phosphate. The UDP- and GDP-derivatives of deoxyglucose inhibit the incorporation of glucose into glucose-containing glycoproteins. This effect seems to be the result of the inhibition of lipid intermediates glucosylation and is comparable to the effect produced by coumarin. Cellulose synthetase activity is not affected by UDP- or GDP-deoxyglucose. On the other hand, deoxyglucose inhibits the formation of β-1,4-glucans in vivo.  相似文献

The content and the percent distribution of dolichol and dolichyl phosphate homologues were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography in perinatal rat livers. Short dolichol chains and no dolichyl phosphate are detectable in the liver at foetal stages; dolichol content progressively increases during liver development. A good correlation is observable between the changes of the dolichol, dolichyl phosphate and the activity of dolichyl-phosphate phosphatase.  相似文献

Chemical and enzymatic methods have been developed to measure small quantities (10(-8) - 10(-10) mol) of acyldihydroxyacetone phosphate in animal tissues. Lipids extracted from tissue samples with acidic CHCl3/methanol were subjected to solvent partitioning at two different pH values for partial purification of this keto-lipid from other lipids. This lipid was then estimated radiometrically either by chemical reduction with NaB3H4 or by enzymatic reduction with [4B-3H]NADPH using a partially purified acyldihydroxyacetone-phosphate reductase (EC 1.1.1.101). Thin-layer chromatography revealed the presence of a number of 3H-labeled lipids in the NaB3H4-reduced product and further purification of the product was necessary to estimate the amount of acyl[2-3H]glycerol 3-phosphate formed. The enzymatic reduction was very specific for acyl/alkyldihydroxyacetone phosphate. The amounts (nmol/g) of these keto-lipids estimated in different tissues by the enzymatic method were 10.06 +/- 0.64 (guinea pig liver), 4.3 +/- 0.15 (rat liver), 2.1 (rat testis), 1.5 (rad kidney) and 1.2 (rat brain). Monoacylglycerol 3-phosphate, i.e., lysophosphatidic acid, which was co-purified with acyldihydroxyacetone phosphate, was found to be present in relatively larger amounts in tissues. The amounts (nmol/g) of this lipid, estimated by enzymatically measuring the amounts of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate released after alkaline methanolysis of the partially purified lipid extracts, were 143 (guinea pig liver), 58 (rat liver), 53 (rat kidney) and 92 (rat brain). Stearic acid (18:0) was found to be the major (65%) fatty acid present in the lysophosphatidate purified from guinea pig liver.  相似文献

Of the subcellular fractions of rat liver the endoplasmic reticulum was the most active in GDP-mannose: retinyl phosphate mannosyl-transfer activity. The synthesis of retinyl phosphate mannose reached a maximum at 20-30 min of incubation and declined at later times. Retinyl phosphate mannose and dolichyl phosphate mannose from endogenous retinyl phosphate and dolichyl phosphate could also be assayed in the endoplasmic reticulum. About 1.8 ng (5 pmol) of endogenous retinyl phosphate was mannosylated per mg of endoplasmic reticulum protein (15 min at 37 degrees C, in the presence of 5 mM-MnCl2), and about 0.15 ng (0.41 pmol) of endogenous retinyl phosphate was mannosylated with Golgi-apparatus membranes. About 20 ng (13.4 pmol) of endogenous dolichyl phosphate was mannosylated in endoplasmic reticulum and 4.5 ng (3 pmol) in Golgi apparatus under these conditions. Endoplasmic reticulum, but not Golgi-apparatus membranes, catalysed significant transfer of [14C]mannose to endogenous acceptor proteins in the presence of exogenous retinyl phosphate. Mannosylation of endogenous acceptors in the presence of exogenous dolichyl phosphate required the presence of Triton X-100 and could not be detected when dolichyl phosphate was solubilized in liposomes. Dolichyl phosphate mainly stimulated the incorporation of mannose into the lipid-oligosaccharide-containing fraction, whereas retinyl phosphate transferred mannose directly to protein.  相似文献
