The results described in the accompanying article support the model in
which glucosylphosphoryldolichol (Glc-P-Dol) is synthesized on the
cytoplasmic face of the ER, and functions as a glucosyl donor for three
Glc-P-Dol:Glc0-2Man9-GlcNAc2-P-P-Dol glucosyltransferases (GlcTases) in the
lumenal compartment. In this study, the enzymatic synthesis and structural
characterization by NMR and electrospray-ionization tandem mass
spectrometry of a series of water-soluble beta-Glc-P-Dol analogs containing
2-4 isoprene units with either the cis - or trans - stereoconfiguration in
the beta-position are described. The water- soluble analogs were (1) used
to examine the stereospecificity of the Glc-P-Dol:Glc0-2Man9GlcNAc2-P-P-Dol
glucosyltransferases (GlcTases) and (2) tested as potential substrates for
a membrane protein(s) mediating the transbilayer movement of Glc-P-Dol in
sealed ER vesicles from rat liver and pig brain. The Glc-P-Dol-mediated
GlcTases in pig brain microsomes utilized [3H]Glc-labeled Glc-P-Dol10,
Glc-P-(omega, c )Dol15, Glc-P(omega, t,t )Dol20, and Glc-P-(omega, t,c
)Dol20as glucosyl donors with [3H]Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-P-P-Dol the major product
labeled in vitro. A preference was exhibited for C15-20 substrates
containing an internal cis -isoprene unit in the beta-position. In
addition, the water-soluble analog, Glc-P-Dol10, was shown to enter the
lumenal compartment of sealed microsomal vesicles from rat liver and pig
brain via a protein-mediated transport system enriched in the ER. The
properties of the ER transport system have been characterized. Glc-
P-Dol10was not transported into or adsorbed by synthetic PC-liposomes or
bovine erythrocytes. The results of these studies indicate that (1) the
internal cis -isoprene units are important for the utilization of Glc-P-Dol
as a glucosyl donor and (2) the transport of the water- soluble analog may
provide an experimental approach to assay the hypothetical "flippase"
proposed to mediate the transbilayer movement of Glc-P-Dol from the
cytoplasmic face of the ER to the lumenal monolayer.
