Abstract excerpt
The assembly of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide, Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-P-P-Dol, occurs on the rough ER membrane in an ordered stepwise manner. The process is highly conserved among eukaryotes. In order to isolate the human mannosyltransferase I (MT-I) gene involved in the process, we used the Saccharomyces cerevisiae MT-I gene ( ALG1 ), which has already been cloned. On searching the EST database with the amino...
