The transfer of mannose from GDP-mannonse to exogenous glycopeptides and simple glycosides has been shown to be carried out by calf thyroid particles (Adamany, A. M., and Spiro, R. G. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 2830-2841). The present investigation indicates that this mannosylation process is accomplished through two sequential enzymatic reactions. The

Structural Studies of Phospho-MurNAc-pentapeptide Translocase and Ternary Complex of a NaV C-Terminal Domain, a Fibroblast Growth Factor Homologous Factor, and Calmodulin [PDF]
Phospho-MurNAc-pentapeptide translocase (MraY) is a conserved membrane-spanning enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell walls. MraY generates lipid I by transferring the phospho-MurNAc-pentapeptide to the lipid carrier undecaprenyl ...

Medium-Chain Polyprenols Influence Chloroplast Membrane Dynamics In Solanum Lycopersicum [PDF]
The widespread occurrence of polyprenols throughout the plant kingdom is well documented, yet their functional role is poorly understood. These lipophilic compounds are known to be assembled from isoprenoid precursors by a class of enzymes designated as ...
