Maturation of glycoprotein B (gB) of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) includes a series of sequential glycosylation steps followed by proteolytic cleavage of the precursor protein. Inhibitors of glycosylation and glycoprotein processing, including tunicamycin, monensin, and bromoconduritol, were used to define further the processing pathway of HCMV gB. The results of these studies indicated that cotranslational glycosylation and intracellular transport are essential for subsequent cleavage of the precursor; early trimming in the endoplasmic reticulum is not a prerequisite but facilitates this processing event. Analysis of purified nuclei with gB-specific monoclonal antibody suggested that the mannose-rich gB-precursor intermediate(s) is (are) compartmentalized in the nuclear fraction. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed that HCMV gB was localized in the outer as well as in the inner nuclear membranes of HCMV-infected fibroblasts.

D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D011499 Protein Processing, Post-Translational Any of various enzymatically catalyzed post-translational modifications of PEPTIDES or PROTEINS in the cell of origin. These modifications include carboxylation; HYDROXYLATION; ACETYLATION; PHOSPHORYLATION; METHYLATION; GLYCOSYLATION; ubiquitination; oxidation; proteolysis; and crosslinking and result in changes in molecular weight and electrophoretic motility.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell

D006031 Glycosylation The synthetic chemistry reaction or enzymatic reaction of adding carbohydrate or glycosyl groups. GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASES carry out the enzymatic glycosylation reactions. The spontaneous, non-enzymatic attachment of reducing sugars to free amino groups in proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids is called GLYCATION (see MAILLARD REACTION). Protein Glycosylation,Glycosylation, Protein
