RESUMO
The polyprotein precursor to the envelope glycoproteins of mouse mammary tumor virus was investigated by using subcellular fractionation procedures, pactomycin mapping techniques, tunicamycin inhibition of glycosylation, and endo-beta-N-acetyl glucosaminidase H-catalyzed removal of glycosylated residues in order to characterize the biosynthesis and processing of the precursor. The results suggest that the precursor (Pr73env) is synthesized on the rough endoplasmic reticulum as a transmembrane protein, with the carboxyl terminus remaining on the cytoplasmic side. The apoprotein as an estimated molecular weight of 60,000 and acquires five core oligosaccharide units during synthesis. Cleavage of the precursor precedes the secondary glycosylation steps and therefore probably occurs before transport to the plasma membrane. However, a minor population of Pr73env containing complex oligosaccharides was also found in the plasma membrane. The order of the glycoproteins in the precursor, as determined by pactomycin mapping, in NH2-gp52-gp36-COOH.
