Abstract
A membrane fraction isolated from the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum was incubated with GDP-[14C]mannose and found to catalyze the incorporation of [14C]mannose into an endogenous acceptor to yield a product with the chemical and chromatographic properties of a polyprenol phosphate sugar derivative. These results suggest that D. discoideum can synthesize a mannosyl phosphoryl polyprenol.Entities:
