Two glycosphingolipid sialyltransferases are localized in different sub-Golgi compartments in rat liver
Abstract
A highly purified Golgi preparation from rat liver was fractionated on a sucrose density gradient and the activity of two sialyltransferases, CMP-NeuAc: Gal beta 1----4Glc-Cer (lactosylceramide) alpha-2----3sialyltransferase; Sat-1), and CMP-NeuAc:Gal beta 1----3GalNAc beta 1----4(NeuAc alpha 2----3) Gal beta 1----4Glc-Cer (GM1 ganglioside) alpha 2----3sialyltransferase; SAT-4), involved in the biosynthesis of gangliosides were assayed in the collected fractions. These two activities were recovered in different regions of the gradient; SAT-1 was found in a more dense region than SAT-4. This distribution coincided with that of two N-Asn linked oligosaccharide processing enzymes (UDP-GlcNAc:lysosomal enzyme precursor GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase and UDP-Gal:ovalbumin galactosyltransferase), assumed as putative markers of cis- and trans-Golgi cisternae, respectively. These findings are consistent with the assembly of ganglioside oligosaccharide chains occurring in different sub-Golgi compartments.
