Abstract
UDP-GlcNAc:dolichol-P GlcNAc-1-P transferase (GPT) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) enzyme responsible for synthesis of GlcNAc-P-P-dolichol, the committed step of dolichol-P-P-oligosaccharide synthesis. The sequence of hamster GPT predicted multiple transmembrane segments (Zhu, X., and Lehrman, M. A. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 14250-14255). GPT has also been predicted to act on the cytosolic face of the ER membrane, based on topological studies of its substrates and products. In this report we test these predictions by: (i) immunofluorescence microscopy with antibodies specific for native GPT sequences or epitope tags inserted into GPT, after selective permeabilization of the plasma membrane with digitonin; (ii) insertion of Factor Xa cleavage sites; (iii) in vitro translation of GPT; and (iv) site-directed mutagenesis. The loops between the 1st and 2nd and between the 9th and 10th predicted transmembrane spans of GPT were found to be cytosolic. In contrast, the loop between the 6th and 7th transmembrane spans, as well as the carboxyl terminus, were lumenal. Thus, hamster GPT must cross the ER membrane at least three times, consistent with previous computer-assisted predictions. There was no apparent N-glycosylation or signal s...Continue Reading
