A mannosyltransferase has been detected in suspensions of BALB/c fibroblasts incubated with GDP-[14C] mannose. The experimental evidence indicates the cell surface as the most likely site for the enzyme. The transferase synthesizes both glycolipids and glycoproteins. The lipid compounds have properties suggestive of lipid-linked mono- and oligosaccharides which can function as intermediates in glycoprotein synthesis. The formation of these compounds by a cell surface enzyme suggests that lipid-linked intermediates may play an important role in the glycosylation of membrane components.
在用GDP-[14C]甘露糖孵育的BALB/c成纤维细胞悬液中检测到了一种甘露糖基转移酶。实验证据表明,细胞表面是该酶最可能的作用位点。该转移酶可合成糖脂和糖蛋白。这些脂质化合物具有脂质连接的单糖和寡糖的特性,它们可作为糖蛋白合成的中间体发挥作用。细胞表面酶形成这些化合物表明,脂质连接的中间体可能在膜成分的糖基化过程中发挥重要作用。
