Altered G-protein glycosylation in vesicular stomatitis virus-infected glucose-deprived baby hamster kidney cells. 1982

S J Turco, and J L Pickard

The glycosylation of the G-protein was analyzed in vesicular stomatitis virus-infected baby hamster kidney cells incubated in the absence of glucose. The results indicate that the G-protein in glucose-starved cells is initially glycosylated from a lipid donor with a glucosylated oligosaccharide which is resistant to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H and partially susceptible to alpha-mannosidase. With longer times, the protein-bound carbohydrate chain becomes much more sensitive to alpha-mannosidase while remaining endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H-resistant. Purified virions from glucose-starved baby hamster kidney cells, labeled with [35S]methionine and isolated on a sucrose gradient, contain altered forms of the G-protein, whereas the other viral proteins remain unchanged. These altered forms could also be radiolabeled with [3H]mannose, and upon analysis of labeled glycopeptides by chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose and Bio-Gel P-6, it was apparent that modification of the oligosaccharide portion of the G-protein occurs in baby hamster kidney cells, leading to aberrant mature carbohydrate chains.

D005690	Galactose	An aldohexose that occurs naturally in the D-form in lactose, cerebrosides, gangliosides, and mucoproteins. Deficiency of galactosyl-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALACTOSE-1-PHOSPHATE URIDYL-TRANSFERASE DEFICIENCY DISEASE) causes an error in galactose metabolism called GALACTOSEMIA, resulting in elevations of galactose in the blood.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
