Calf pancreas microsomes incorporated radioactive D-mannose from GDP-D-[14C]mannose into lipid-bound oligosaccharides extracted with chloroform/methanol/water (10/10/2.5, v/v). Several products, which probably differed in the size of the oligosaccharide moiety, were labeled. These could be partially resolved by thin layer chromatography and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The labeled lipid-bound oligosaccharides were retained on DEAE-cellulose more strongly than synthetic dolichyl alpha-D-[14C]mannopyranosyl phosphate. They were stable to mild alkali, but labile to acid and hot alkali. Acid treatment yielded a neutral 14C-labeled oligosaccharide fraction which was estimated by gel filtration to have a minimum of 8 monosaccharide residues. Hot alkali treatment yielded a mixture of neutral and acidic 14C-labeled oligosaccharides which could be transformed into neutral products by alkaline phosphatase. The D-[14C]mannose residues were alpha-linked at the nonreducing terminus of the oligosaccharides since they could be removed completely with alpha-mannosidase. Most of the D-[14C]mannose-labeled oligosaccharides were retained on concanavalin A Sepharose and eluted with methyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside. Pancreatic dolichyl beta-D-[14C]mannopyranosyl phosphate incubated with calf pancreas microsomes in the presence of sodium taurocholate was efficiently utilized as donor of alpha-D-mannosyl residues in lipid-bound oligosaccharides. The products formed from dolichyl beta-D-[14C]mannopyranosyl phosphate were identical with those formed from GDP-D-[14C]mannose, and evidence was obtained to show that the dolichyl beta-D-[14C]mannopyranosyl phosphate was serving as donor without prior conversion to GDP-D-[14C]mannose. Transfer of mannose from dolichyl beta-D-[14C]mannopyranosyl phosphate to lipid-bound oligosaccharides took place at a pH optimum of 7.3, whereas transfer to the precipitate containing glycoproteins was greatest at pH 6.0 in Tris/maleate buffer. The addition of divalent cation was not required, but low concentrations of EDTA were extremely inhibitory. The carbohydrate composition of the lipid-bound oligosaccharides of microsomal membranes was investigated by gas-liquid chromatography and by reduction with sodium borotritide. A heterogeneous mixture of oligosaccharides containing N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-mannose, and D-glucose varying in proportions from approximately 1/2.5/0.5 to 1/5/1.5 was obtained with glucosamine at the reducing end. Acid treatment of the lipid-bound oligosaccharide fraction yielded dolichyl pyrophosphate, suggesting that at least some of the oligosaccharides were linked to dolichol through a pyrophosphate group.

Incubation of purified rat brain tubulin with guanosine 5'-methylene diphosphonate [GMP(CH2)P] (1 mM), a GDP analog resistant to hydrolysis, results in the polymerization of 20-30% of the total tubulin present. Analogous incubations with GDP (1 mM) do not result in tubulin polymerization. Polymerization with GMP(CH2)P occurs in the presence of alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) under conditions that completely hydrolyze the likely phosphate donors (GTP, GDP, and GMP) as well as the potential product [GMP(CH2)PP] of the transphosphorylase activity present in purified tubulin preparations. Tubulin polymerization in vitro thus can occur in the absence of gamma-phosphate and phosphate bond hydrolysis at the exchangeable nucleotide-binding site of tubulin. Polymerization of tubulin by GMP(CH2)P is neither prevented nor reversed by concentrations of calcium (2 mM) that prevent microtubule assembly and disrupt already formed microtubules induced by GTP. However, tubulin polymerized with GMP(CH2)P is readily depolymerized by cold (4 degrees, 30 min). The possible involvement of GTP alpha-beta bond hydrolysis must be considered seriously as playing a role in the process of microtubule depolymerization.

The oligoribonucleotide, A-A-A-C-U-U-U-Gp, constituting a segment of RNA bacteriophage Qbeta coat protein gene was efficiently synthesized at a milligram scale by a combination of enzymatic methods using bacteriophage T4 RNA ligase and the thermophilic polynucleotide phosphorylase. A-A-A-Cp was synthesized from A-A-A and pCp by the newly developed mononucleotide addition method using T4 RNA ligase in a yield of 83%, followed by dephosphorylation with bacterial alkaline phosphatase to obtain A-A-A-C. pU-U-U-Gp was synthesized from pU-U-U and GDP by the simultaneous action of polynucleotide phosphorylase and RNase T1 in a yield of 32%. finally, the two oligonucleotides (A-A-A-C and pU-U-U-Gp) were ligated with T4 RNA ligase and the octanucleotide, A-A-A-C-U-U-U-Gp, was obtained in a yield of 85%.

In order to evaluate the possibility in a pig thyroid rough microsomal system of a transfer of pre-assembled sugar cores from sugar-lipids to protein, we have examined after incubation with GDP-[14C]Man the compounds bearing labeled saccharides and have determined some properties of their released saccharide moieties. The [14C]Man material specifically soluble in CHCl3/CH3OH/H2O, 10:10:3, behaved on DEAE-cellulose and when treated with hot alkali and alkaline phosphatase as a lipid pyrophosphate (sometimes accompanied by some dolichol-P-[14C]Man). Its saccharide moiety, released by mild acid, exhibited properties (molecular size, sensitivity to alpha-mannosidase, affinity for concanavalin A and charge modification introduced by a strong reductive alkaline treatment) pointing to a polymannosylated N,N'-diacetylchitobiose containing an average of nine monosaccharide units (from six to twelve). The [14C]mannosylated glycoproteins have represented all the polymeric label remaining after lipid extraction. From the susceptibility of their pronase glycopeptides to a differential reductive alkaline hydrolysis, it was concluded that their label belonged mainly to N-glycosidically linked units. Released saccharides exhibited the same properties as those from lipids, a result substantiating the possibility raised from previous studies of a transfer of pre-assembled moieties.

The question of whether nonhydrolyzable nucleotide analogues and other nucleoside triphosphates support tubulin assembly was addressed. Tubulin which contained residual GTP at the exchangeable site polymerized in the absence of added GTP in the presence of DMSO or glycerol. After maximum absorbance was reached, disassembly occurred at a slow rate. When 0.5 mM GMPPCP, GMPPNP, or ATP was included in the assembly reaction, disassembly did not occur, and about 0.1 mol of these nucleotides per mole of tubulin was incorporated into the protein. When 5 mM nucleotide was used or alkaline phosphatase was included in the case of the nonhydrolyzable analogues, a greater amount of assembly occurred and about 0.7-0.8 mol of analogue was incorporated. The products of the assembly reaction were cold-labile microtubules and protofilament ribbons. After cold-depolymerization of the microtubules and ribbons, a second cycle of assembly produced some microtubules, but cold-stable amorphous polymers were the major product. In addition, when GTP at the exchangeable site was first removed by a cycle of assembly, followed by depolymerization, assembly in the presence of GMPPCP, GMPPNP, or ATP produced a mixture of microtubules and cold-stable polymers, both of which contained bound analogue. Incorporation of GMPPCP, GMPPNP, or ATP into polymerized tubulin always occurred at the expense of GDP at the exchangeable site, the content of which decreased correspondingly. Incubation of tubulin with 5 mM GMPPCP, GMPPNP, or ATP under nonassembly conditions also displaced GDP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The effect of guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) on PtdIns and PtdIns(4)P kinase activities was measured in rat liver plasma membranes. The addition of [32P]ATP resulted in the rapid incorporation of 32P into PtdIns(4)P and PtdIns(4,5)P2, with maximal levels reached within 30 s. GTP[S] (25-500 microM) increased the rate and magnitude of [32P]PtdIns(4)P and [32P]PtdIns(4,5)P2 formation by 50 and 120% respectively. Similar stimulatory effects were induced by guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate, GTP, GDP and guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate. The stimulation of PtdIns phosphorylation by GTP[S] occurred in the presence of 2 mM-EGTA, a condition which fully inhibited phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C. GTP[S] did not stimulate phosphomonoesterase activity, and its action was not due to the binding of magnesium. However, the overall ATP-hydrolysing activity of the membrane preparation was inhibited by GTP[S] and the other guanine nucleotides. There was a direct correlation between the extent of this inhibition and the stimulation of polyphosphoinositide formation. The results indicate that stimulation of polyphosphoinositide formation by guanine nucleotides in rat liver plasma membranes can be accounted for by an inhibition of ATP hydrolysis. These data are inconsistent with a specific GTP-binding protein (G-protein)-mediated stimulation of PtdIns or PtdIns(4)P kinase.

In an attempt to determine whether the tightly bound Mg2+ found in purified tubulin in associated with the N-site GTP or the E-site GDP or GTP, we removed the E-site nucleotide by several means: (i) alkaline phosphatase treatment; (ii) displacement using excess GMPPCP; and (iii) polymerizing tubulin in the presence of alkaline phosphatase and non-hydrolyzable analogues. The Mg2+ content remained equal to about 1 mol/mol tubulin under conditions where denaturation did not occur. Moreover, the Mg/GTP ratio always remained equal to 1. These results indicate that the Mg2+ is associated with the N-site GTP.

Complete replacement of the nucleotide on the exchangeable binding site of purified calf brain tubulin by the non-hydrolyzable GTP-analogue guanylyl-(beta,gamma-methylene)diphosphonate (GMPPCP) has been achieved by treatment of tubulin-GDP with phosphodiesterase-free alkaline phosphatase. GMPPCP binds to tubulin with a low affinity relative to GTP or GDP. Binding of the analogue is linked to magnesium ion concentration and, like the binding of other guanine nucleotides, is promoted by high concentrations of glycerol. The complex of pure tubulin and GMPPCP readily assembles at 37 degrees C into microtubules or curled ribbons of protofilaments, depending on buffer composition. Assemblies are cold-reversible at 0-2 degrees C, and multiple reversible assemblies can be observed during repeated heating/cooling cycles.

Incorporation of 32P from [gamma-32P]ATP into phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) in membranes isolated from rat brain was enhanced in a concentration-dependent manner by the GTP analogue guanosine 5'-O-(thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S). In contrast, neither the labeling of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate in the same membranes nor PIP kinase activity in the soluble fraction were stimulated by GTP gamma S. Synthesis of [32P]PIP2 was not stimulated by GTP, GDP, GMP, or ATP; however, the stimulatory effects of GTP gamma S were antagonized by GTP, GDP, and guanosine 5'-O-thiodiphosphate (GDP beta S). The nucleotide-stimulated labeling of PIP2 was not due to protection of [gamma-32P] ATP from hydrolysis, activation of PIP2 hydrolysis by phospholipase C, or inhibition of PIP2 hydrolysis by its phosphomonoesterase. Therefore, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate kinase activity in brain membranes may be regulated by a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein. This system may enhance the resynthesis of PIP2 following receptor-mediated activation of phospholipase C.

We have investigated the possible role of a cAMP-mediated protein-phosphorylation event(s) as the key regulatory mechanism in beta-adrenoreceptor-stimulated activation of mannosylphosphodolichol (Man-P-Dol) synthase (GDP-mannose:dolichyl-phosphate O-beta-D-mannosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.83) in rat parotid acinar cells. Microsomal membranes isolated from these cells pretreated with 10 microM isoproterenol for 60 min showed approximately 40-80% enhanced Man-P-Dol synthase activity compared to the untreated controls. This change in enzyme activity was not associated with a significant alteration in apparent Km for GDP-mannose, but the Vmax was enhanced 2-fold. When microsomal membranes isolated from control cells were phosphorylated in vitro by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase, an increase in Man-P-Dol synthase activity, similar to that with membranes from isoproterenol-treated cells, was observed (i.e., a moderate change in Km for GDP-mannose but a 2-fold higher Vmax). Furthermore, treatment of in vitro phosphorylated microsomal membranes by alkaline phosphatase led to a substantial reduction in Man-P-Dol synthase activity. Increased Man-P-Dol synthesis (approximately 30-40%) was also observed in bovine brain and hen oviduct microsomal membranes after in vitro protein phosphorylation. In aggregate, these results strongly suggest that agents that increase cAMP in cells may modulate protein N-glycosylation in those cells by activating this key glycosyltransferase of the dolichol cascade by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase-mediated protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation cycle.
