چکیده

Two radioactive glycopeptides (Glycopeptides I and II) were isolated from the deoxycholate-soluble fraction of rat liver microsomes 90 min after injection of glucosamine-l-14C. These two glycopeptides were rich in mannose and N-acetylglucosamine but relatively poor in galactose and sialic acid. Glycopeptide I contained sialic acid, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, mannose, aspartic acid, serine, glutamic acid, proline, and glycine in the proportion 1 :1:4:5:3:1:2:1 :l, resulting in a calculated minimum molecular weight of 2950. Glycopeptide II consisted only of aspartic acid, N-acetylglucosamine, and mannose. This glycopeptide gave a single symmetrical peak with a sedimentation constant of 0.6 S when examined by ultracentrifugation. The minimum molecular weight of this glycopeptide is 2360, calculated from the molar ratio for aspartic acid, amide, N-acetylglucosamine, and mannose of 1: 1:4:9. By using various glycosidases, oligosaccharide chains in Glycopeptide I were found to contain sialic acid and mannose at the nonreducing ends, while mannose and N-acetylglucosamine separately occupy the nonreducing termini of the sugar chains in Glycopeptide II. Possible sequential arrangements of various monosaccharide units in these two glycopeptides are suggested. Comparison of the sequential arrangement of monosaccharide units in Glycopeptides I and II with that of well characterized plasma glycoproteins suggests that the oligosaccharide chains in these glycopeptides lack sialic acidgalactose-N-acetylglucosamine chains, which occupy the peripheral position of the sugar units in many plasma glycoproteins. It is therefore suggested that these glycopeptides isolated from the microsomal membrane may carry mainly

Evidence for Histidine Residues on Plasma Membrane Phosphatidate Phosphohydrolase from Rat Liver

Objective(s) Phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAP) catalyzes the dephosphorylation of phosphatidic acid to yield Pi and  diacylglycerol. Two different forms of PAP in rat hepatocyte have been reported. PAP1 is located in cytosolic and microsomal fractions and participates in the synthesis of triacylglycerols, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylethanolamine, whereas the other form of phosphati...

The Incorporation of Amino Acids into Soluble Lipoproteins by Cell-free Preparations from Rat Liver*

The net synthesis of low density plasma lipoproteins has been shown in the perfused rat liver and in rat liver slices in work reported from this laboratory (2). Haft, Roheim, White, and Eder (3) demonstrated amino acid incorporation into low and high density plasma lipoproteins in the perfused liver, and Radding and Steinberg (4) reported similar observations in rat liver slices. The present ex...

Biotransformation of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in the presence of microsomal fractions derived from liver and epiderm of adult and weanling rats was examined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of age on the capacity of two organs in transformation of BaP. Subcellular fractions were prepared from skin and liver by ultracentrifugation and were used as the source of BaP metabolizing enzy...
