Abstract

Tissues from rabbit lung were found to incorporate radioactivity from [3H]mannose into the oligosaccharide of a polar lipid soluble in chloroform/methanol/water (10:10:3, by vol.). Only one oligosaccharide-lipid was formed and the composition of the radiolabelled carbohydrate moiety was Glc3Man9(GlcNAc)2. An antitumour antibiotic, bleomycin, and an anti-inflammatory steroid, methylprednisolone, partially inhibited the incorporation of [3H]mannose into oligosaccharide-lipids and in addition resulted in the production of two new components, Man5(GlcNAc)2 and Man2(GlcNAc)2. Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of the glycoproteins synthesized from the oligosaccharide-lipid intermediates showed labelled components with Mr greater than 200000, 130000, 80000 and 62000. The addition of the drugs resulted in the same pattern with the addition of a new component of Mr 36000. Endoglucosaminidase H-treatment of the glycopeptides isolated from the Pronase-digested glycoproteins indicated that the oligosaccharide units in the glycoproteins were of the high-mannose-type.
