The activity of α3-D-mannoside-β-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GnT I; EC 2.4.1.101), which catalyzes the first step in the conversion of oligomannose to complex or hybrid N-glycans of glycoproteins, was detected in bovine follicular fluid (bFF). The GnT I activity in bFF had a pH optimum of 5.8 and an absolute requirement for either Co2+, Mn2+, or Mg2+, the activity being stimulated by these cations in the above order. The apparent Km value for α1-3α1-6 mannopentaose of GnT I in bFF was 2.17 mM. The substrate specificity for the GnT I activity decreased in the following order: α1-3α1-6 mannopentaose> α1-3α1-6 mannotriose>α1-3 mannobiose. The GnT I activity in bFF from large atretic follicles was significantly higher than in that from large... |
