    Notes: Abstract A crude organelle preparation from germinating castor bean endosperm catalysed the incorporation of galactose from UDP[14C]galactose into chloroform/methanol (2:1)-soluble glactolipids. At least two galactolipids were formed. Most of the [14C]galactose was present in a galactolipid synthesized by the microsomal membranes, the remainder was present in a second galactolipid synthesized by other cellular membranes, possibly Golgi-derived. The addition of asialo-agalacto-fetuin reduced incorporation of [14C]galactose into the microsomal galactolipid with a concomitant increase in microsomal [14C]galactoprotein. Asialo-agalacto-fetuin did not affect galactolipid or galactoprotein synthesis by nonmicrosomal fractions. The results suggest that the endoplasmic reticulum is a major site of protein galactosylation in castor bean endosperm cells, and that galactose transfer from UDP-galactose to protein occurs via a lipid-linked intermediate.

    Notes: Abstract A crude organelle preparation from germinating castor bean endosperm catalysed the incorporation of mannose from GDP[14C]mannose into acid-labile mannolipids. Solubility and chromatographic properties have identified the most rapidly synthesized products as mannosyl-phosphoryl-polyisoprenol, while the more polar lipid formed was shown to contain oligosaccharide. Little radioactivity from GDP[14C]mannose accumulated in insoluble product in the cell-free system, but supplying GDP[14C]mannose to intact endosperm tissue has shown that the major incorporation product in vivo is glycoprotein. This product was readily solubilized by either pronase or sodium dodecyl sulphate treatment suggesting it was membrane bound glycoprotein. Incorporation of mannose into mannosyl-phosphoryl-polyisoprenol during the cell-free assay was stimulated by the addition of dolichol monophosphate. This enzymic activity was optimal at pH 7.5 and in the presence of 10 mM Mg2+. The Km for GDP-mannose was estimated to be 5×10-7 M. Cellular mannosyl transferase activity changed markedly during early post-germinative growth; from being absent in the dry seed, enzyme activity increased to peak between the second and third days of growth and subsequently declined.

    Subcellular localization of mannosyl transferase and glycoprotein biosynthesis in castor bean endosperm (1979)

    Notes: Abstract Differential and sucrose density gradient centrifugation have shown that the mannosyl transferase present in germinating castor bean endosperm cells which catalyses the synthesis of mannosyl-phosphoryl-polyisoprenol is exclusively located in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. This intracellular location was confirmed using both ribosome-denuded microsomes isolated in the presence of EDTA and rough-surfaced microsomes isolated in the presence of excess Mg2+ added to maintain ribosome-membrane attachment. Separation of organelles following the incubation of crude particulate fractions with GDP[14C]mannose demonstrated that most of the mannolipid thus formed remained associated with the microsomal fraction. When organelles were isolated from intact tissue which had previously been incubated with GDP[14C]mannose, [14C]glycoprotein was found to be associated with other cellular fractions in addition to the microsomes, in particular the glyoxysomes. The kinetics of radioactive labelling of these organelles suggest that [14C]glycoprotein appears initially in the microsomal fraction and subsequently accumulates in the glyoxysomes. Subfractionation of isolated, [14C]glycoprotein-labelled glyoxysomes established that over 80% of the total radioactivity was present in the membrane, while sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of solubilized glyoxysomal membranes showed that the [14C]sugar moiety was associated with several, but not all, constituent polypeptides.

    Incorporation of D-[14C]galactose into organelle glycoprotein in castor bean endosperm (1978)

    Notes: Abstract Excised casto bean (Ricinus communis L.) endosperm tissue supplied with [14C]galactose incorporates radioactivity into particulate cell components. Fractionation of homogenates established that 14C-labeled trichloroacetic acid-insoluble material was located primarily in the microsomal and glyoxysomal fractions. The capacity of the tissue to incorporate [14C]galactose into organelle glycoprotein varied during seedling development, increasing during the first 3 days of germination and subsequently declining. The kinetics of incorporation into the major organelle fractions of 2-day old endosperm tissue showed that the endoplasmic reticulum was immediately labeled whereas a lag period preceded the labeling of glyoxysomes. Sub-fractionation of the isolated organelles established that the greatest proportion of the [14C]-galactose labeled glycoprotein was located in the membrane, although a significant incorporation into the matrix protein was also observed. The results indicate that the addition of the carbohydrate moiety to the polypeptide cores occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum during or immediately after their synthesis on membrane-bound ribosomes.

    Notes: Abstract A range of electron-transferring agents (dyes) were screened for activity with the oxido-reductase, nitrate reductase, from either Pisum sativum or Aspergillus. Reducing equivalents could be transferred efficiently to both enzymes by methyl viologen. Pisum enzyme could also be effectively reduced by reduced Patent blue (food colouring E 131), curcumin (food colouring E 100) or, at lesser rates by Azure A. Aspergillus enzyme could be reduced at only low rates by curcumin, Patent blue and Bromophenol blue.
