The dependence of glycosyltransferases in Dictyostelium discoideum on the structure of polyisoprenols

The dependence of glycosyltransferases in Dictyostelium discoideum on the structure of polyisoprenols

H H Rössler et al. Mol Cell Biochem. .

Abstract

Mannosyltransferases in plasma membranes of Dictyostelium discoideum synthesize polyisoprenylphosphomannosides from exogenous polyisoprenylphosphates and GDP-mannose. The specificity of the enzymes depends on the chain length and the saturation of the polyisoprenols. Maximum activity is reached by a alpha-saturated C-55 polyisoprenylphosphate.
