Immunoglobulin Synthesis and Secretion, IV. Sites of Incorporation of Sugars as Determined by Subcellular Fractionation*

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

P3K cells were uniformly labeled with [14C]leucine and also for 1 hr with [3H]leucine, [3]galactose, or [3H]glucosamine. Subcellular fractionation of labeled cells was performed and the amounts of radioactive immunoglobulin G in each fraction were determined. The results indicate that amino acids are incorporated in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, galactose primarily in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, and glucosamine at both sites. A small portion of radioactivity was found in the microsomal supernatant regardless of the radioisotope employed.
