Abstract

Several clones of Chinese hamster ovary cells have been selected for their resistance to the toxic effects of wheat germ agglutinin. The clones do not bind wheat germ agglutinin as well as parent cells and are 5- to 250-fold more resistant to the toxic effects of the lectin. Of three clones studied in detail, all exhibit a decrease in wheat germ agglutinin binding affinity. Two have normal numbers of wheat germ agglutinin binding sites, while one (Clone 13) has a 65% decrease in binding sites. Crude membrane preparations of the clones have a decrease in sialic acid content relative to parent cells, and Clone 13 membranes are also deficient in galactose, while the mannose and hexosamine contents of all three clones are normal. The membrane sugar deficiencies affect both glycoproteins and glycolipids. Sialyl-lactosylceramide is the major glycolipid in parent cells, while Clones 1 and 1021 have lactosylceramide and Clone 13 has glucosylceramide as the predominant glycolipid. Labeling experiments with N-[G-3H]acetylmannosamine suggest that Clone 1021 cells have a block in the transfer of sialic acid from CMP-sialic acid to glycoprotein and glycolipid acceptors. Yet CMP-sialic acid:glycoprotein sialyl-transferase activity in cell lysates of Clone 1021 cells is 80% of normal. While CMP-sialic acid:lactosylceramide sialyl-transferase activity is only 25% of normal, it can be restored to normal or elevated levels by sodium butyrate induction without an associated increase in cellular sialyl-lactosylceramide content. Similarly, the galactose-deficient Clone 13 can synthesize UDP-galactose and has normal levels of UDP-galactose:glycoprotein galactosyltransferase and UDP-galactose:glucosylceramide galactosyltransferase when assayed in vitro. The glycosyltransferases of both these clones can utilize their own glycoproteins as sugar acceptors in in vitro assays. These data suggest that the variant cells fail to carry out specific glycosyltransferase reactions in vivo despite the fact that they possess the appropriate nucleotide sugars, glycoprotein and glycolipid acceptors, and glycosyltransferases.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
