UDP- glucose: glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT) is a protein that operates as the gatekeeper for the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality control mechanism of glycoprotein folding. It is known that vertebrates and Caenorhabditis genomes harbor two uggt gene copies that exhibit differences

A Mucor pusillus mutant defective in asparagine-linked glycosylation was found in our stock cultures. This mutant, designated 1116, secreted aspartic proteinase (MPP) in a less-glycosylated form than that secreted by the wild-type strain. Analysis of enzyme susceptibility, lectin binding, and
We studied the pharmacokinetics of two synthetic derivatives of 1-deoxynojirimycin in the rat after intravenous administration. The mannosidase IA/B inhibitor 1-deoxymannojirimycin and the glucosidase inhibitor N-methyl-1-deoxynojirimycin exhibited minimal plasma protein binding and showed a rapid biphasic plasma disappearance, with an

Incubation of cycloheximide-treated cardiac myocytes results in a time-dependent increase in cellular and heparin-releasable lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities. N-Methyldeoxynojirimycin (1 mM) and castanospermine (100 micrograms/ml), inhibitors of glucosidases in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), prevented the increase in cellular LPL activity.

The glycoprotein processing inhibitors bromoconduritol and N-methyl-1-deoxynojirimycin inhibit myoblast fusion and differentiation, suggesting the critical involvement of one or more glycoproteins in the control of skeletal myogenesis. In the present study we have examined the effect of inhibitors of glycoprotein
