  • Title: Incorporation of N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine into proteins and lipid intermediates in microsomal and Golgi membranes from rat liver.
    Author: Bergman A, Dallner G.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1978 Sep 11; 512(1):123-35. PubMed ID: 698208.
    Abstract:
    Rough and smooth microsomes and Golgi membranes incorporate N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine into endogenous protein acceptors. A lipid intermediate of the dolichol phosphate type participates in this transfer reaction in the case of both microsomal subfractions, but the nature of lipid glycosylation is different in these two fractions. Glucosamine transfer in Golgi membranes does not appear to involve a lipid intermediate. In contrast to the results obtained under in vivo conditions, no glucosamine label is recovered in nascent ribosomal proteins or on luminal secretory proteins after incubation in vitro. Proteolysis of intact vesicles of the subfractions removes glycosylated dolichol phosphate and protein acceptors to various extents and interferes with transferase activities. This finding suggests the possiblity that glycosylation at the cytoplasmic side of the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum may involve a system separate from that acting at the luminal side of the same membrane.
