B4-2-1 cells (Lec15 cells) are Chinese hamster ovary cells deficient in mannosylphosphoryldolichol synthase activity. They synthesize the truncated lipid intermediate Man5GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol rather than the Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol synthesized by wild-type cells. In this report we present evidence that these cells did synthesize glucosylated Man5GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol, but this species represented only a minor fraction of the labeled oligosaccharide-lipid. On the other hand, glucosylated oligosaccharides were a major species transferred to protein in these cells, showing that in vivo, glucosylated oligosaccharides are preferentially transferred to protein. The truncated oligosaccharides found in B4-2-1 cells were removed from the protein by N-glycanase treatment, since they were resistant to both endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H and F activity. B4-2-1 cells processed the glucosylated, truncated oligosaccharides transferred to G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus, leading to infectious virus.
