Cell-free biosynthesis of erythroglycan in a microsomal fraction from K-562 cells. 1981

T Z Russin, and R A Laine, and S J Turco

Particulate membrane preparations from K-562 [human CML (chronic-myelogenous-leukaemia)-derived] cells catalyse the transfer of [3H]galactose from UDP-[3H]-galactose and [3H]N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-[3H]N-acetylglucosamine into an endogenous product that on digestion with Pronase yields long-chain glycopeptides (mol.wt. 7000--10 000) called 'erythroglycan'. Incorporation of either labelled sugar increased up to 60 min of incubation time. The labelled erythroglycan was isolated by chromatography on Sephadex G-50 and characterized by digestion with endo-beta-galactosidase from Escherichia freundii, followed by analysis on Bio-Gel P-2 and paper chromatography. This digestion gave the following four products: (1) a disaccharide with the sequence beta GlcNAc-beta Gal; (2) a trisaccharide with the sequence betaGal-betaGlcNAc-beta Gal; (3) a larger oligosaccharide containing galactose and N-acetylglucosamine; and (4) a putative protein-linkage region.

D008861 Microsomes Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction.

D002474 Cell-Free System A fractionated cell extract that maintains a biological function. A subcellular fraction isolated by ultracentrifugation or other separation techniques must first be isolated so that a process can be studied free from all of the complex side reactions that occur in a cell. The cell-free system is therefore widely used in cell biology.

D002854 Chromatography, Paper An analytical technique for resolution of a chemical mixture into its component compounds. Compounds are separated on an adsorbent paper (stationary phase) by their varied degree of solubility/mobility in the eluting solvent (mobile phase).

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.
