The glycosylation pattern in isolated rat hepatocytes during pre- and post-natal development and senescence has been studied by following: the [14C]glucosamine and [3H]galactose incorporation into cellular glycoproteins and glycolipids and the activity of two microsomal enzymes, N-acetyl-glucosaminyl-1-P transferase and galactosyl transferase. The data show a lowered precursor incorporation into lipids and proteins in the fetus, newborn and old rats versus the adult. Only the galactosyl transferase activity is enhanced on the 19th and 22nd day of fetal life. The glucosamine and N-acetyl-glucosamine content in both soluble and protein bound fractions was increased, while the galactose content in lipids and proteins decreased in the fetal stage. The different sugar composition of the proteins, and the decreased glucosamine and galactose incorporation into the proteins, observed in the fetus, newborn and old rat, suggest a post-translational modification which may cause alterations in functions usually mediated by glycoproteins

Abstract

The glycosylation pattern in isolated rat hepatocytes during pre- and post-natal development and senescence has been studied by following: the [14C]glucosamine and [3H]galactose incorporation into cellular glycoproteins and glycolipids and the activity of two microsomal enzymes, N-acetyl-glucosaminyl-1-P transferase and galactosyl transferase. The data show a lowered precursor incorporation into lipids and proteins in the fetus, newborn and old rats versus the adult. Only the galactosyl transferase activity is enhanced on the 19th and 22nd day of fetal life. The glucosamine and N-acetyl-glucosamine content in both soluble and protein bound fractions was increased, while the galactose content in lipids and proteins decreased in the fetal stage. The different sugar composition of the proteins, and the decreased glucosamine and galactose incorporation into the proteins, observed in the fetus, newborn and old rat, suggest a post-translational modification which may cause alterations in functions usually mediated by glycoproteins
