RESUMO
Using isopycnic sucrose gradients, we have ascertained the subcellular location of several enzymes involved in the processing of the N-linked oligosaccharides of glycoproteins in developing cotyledons of the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris. All are localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or Golgi complex as determined by co-sedimentation with the ER marker, NADH-cytochrome c reductase, or the Golgi marker, glucan synthase I. Glucosidase activity, which removes glucose residues from Glc3Man9(GlcNAc)2, was found exclusively in the ER. All other processing enzymes, which act subsequent to the glucose trimming steps, are associated with the Golgi. These include mannosidase I (removes 1-2 mannose residues from Man6-9[GlcNAc]2), mannosidase II (removes mannose residues from GlcNAcMan5[GlcNAc]2), and fucosyltransferase (transfers a fucose residue to the Asn-linked GlcNAc of appropriate glycans). We have previously reported the localization of two other glycan modifying enzymes (GlcNAc-transferase and xylosyltransferase activities) in the Golgi complex. Attempts at subfractionation of the Golgi fraction on shallow sucrose gradients yielded similar patterns of distribution for all the Golgi processing enzymes. Subfractionation on Percoll gradients resulted in two peaks of the Golgi marker enzyme inosine diphosphatase, whereas the glycan processing enzymes were all enriched in the peak of lower density. These results do not lend support to the hypothesis that N-linked oligosaccharide processing enzymes are associated with Golgi cisternae of different densities.
