NAD glycohydrolase: enzyme characterization using intact mammalian erythrocytes
Abstract:
1. NADase activity has been determined on intact erythrocytes of several species. 2. Although a wide range in maximum velocity exists across species, Michaelis constants observed are very similar. 3. The enzyme is found on the outer surface of the erythrocyte plasma membrane. 4. It is inhibited by substrate after an apparent permanent modification. 5. This modification may be due to self ADP-ribosylation. 6. We have also demonstrated the presence of an ADP-ribosyltransferase on the outer surface of the sheep erythrocyte membrane.

01:24Oligosaccharide Assembly
Protein glycosylation starts in the ER lumen and continues in the Golgi apparatus. Glycosyltransferases catalyze the addition of sugar molecules or glycosylation of proteins. Usually, these enzymes add sugars to the hydroxyl groups of selected serine or threonine residues to form O-linked glycans or the amino groups of asparagine residues to form N-linked glycans. Different positions on the same polypeptide chain can contain differently linked glycans.

01:29Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER
ER is the primary site for the maturation and folding of soluble and transmembrane secretory proteins. The calnexin cycle is a specific chaperone system that folds and assesses the confirmation of N-glycosylated proteins before they can exit the ER lumen. The primary players of this quality check pipeline are the lectins, ER-resident chaperones, and a glucosyl transferase enzyme. In case the calnexin system in the lumen fails to salvage a misfolded protein, it is transported to the cytoplasm...
