Popis: Dolichyl mannosyl phosphate and GDPmannose were active substrates for the transfer of mannose to methyl-alpha-D-mannose, p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-mannose, and free mannose with rat liver microsomal membranes. The products formed during dolichyl mannosyl phosphate incubation with methyl-alpha-D-mannose or with mannose were alpha-linked. The disaccharides formed by incubation of dolichyl mannosyl phosphate or GDPmannose with mannose were identified by paper chromatography and electrophoresis as mannose-alpha-1,2-mannose and mannose-alpha-1,3-mannose. synthesis of each product was dependent on the assay conditions used and was most markedly affected by the presence of detergent. Transfer of mannose from either substrate to form mannose-alpha-1,3-mannose was severely inhibited by Triton X-100.
