TLDR
In this chapter, the lipid intermediates that have been identified in higher plants will be discussed and their role in biosynthetic reactions will be considered and the plant systems will be compared to those studies that has been done in animal and yeast systems.Abstract:
Lipid intermediates, or lipid-linked saccharides, were first discovered in bacteria where they were shown to be involved in the biosynthesis of cell wall polymers such as peptidoglycan, lipopolysaccharide, teichoic acid and capsular polysaccharides (Osborn 1969, Hemming 1974). Those studies set the stage for later experiments in eukaryotic systems which also showed the synthesis and utilization of similar types of lipid intermediates in the biosynthesis of complex carbohydrates (Waechter and Lennarz 1976). In this chapter, the lipid intermediates that have been identified in higher plants will be discussed and their role in biosynthetic reactions will be considered. The plant systems will be compared to those studies that have been done in animal and yeast systems. Figure 1 outlines a series of reactions that have been proposed to account for the formation of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide that serves as the final donor in the glycosylation of protein. These reactions are considered in detail in the ensuing pages.read more

Inhibitors of the Biosynthesis and Processing of N-Linked Oligosaccharide Chains
TL;DR: A number of inhibitors have been identified that interfere with glycoprotein biosynthesis, processing, or transport, such as tunicamycin, tridecaptin, and flavomycin this paper.
Inhibitors of the biosynthesis and processing of n-linked
TL;DR: A number of glycoproteins have oligosaccharides linked to protein in a GlcNAc----asparagine bond that are either of the complex, the high-mannose or the hybrid structure and a number of inhibitors have been identified that interfere with glycoprotein biosynthesis, processing, or transport.

TRANSFER OF PROTEINS ACROSS MEMBRANES II. Reconstitution of Functional Rough Microsomes from Heterologous Components
TL;DR: These results establish unequivocally that the information for segregation of a translation product is encoded in the mRNA itself, not in the protein- synthesizing apparatus; this provides strong evidence in support of the signal hypothesis.

TL;DR: Tunicamycin inhibited the production of the [3H]G1cNAc-lipid but did not affect the synthesis of the 14C-mannolipid, which accounts for the effect of the antibiotic upon glycoprotein formation in vivo.

TL;DR: An enzyme that hydrolyzes di-N-acetylchitobiose linkages in oligosaccharides and glycoproteins was purified to homogeneity from cultural filtrates of Streptomyces griseus and appears to consist of a single polypeptide chain.
