Characterization of the mannosyl and fucosyl transferases in the ovine anterior pituitary glands
Abstract
Ovine anterior pituitary glands contain mannosyl- and fucosyl-transferases localized in the microsomes and able to incorporate mannose or fucose as such from GDP-mannose or GDP-fucose into endogenous glycoproteins. The requirements and conditions necessary for maximum activity were investigated. The value of the Km is very similar for the two enzyme systems, 3 X 10(-7) M in the case of mannosyl-transferases and 5 X 10(-7) M in the case of fucosyl-transferases.
