title: Glycosylation of endogenous proteins through dolichol derivatives in reticulocyte plasma membranes.
abstract: It has been found that rabbit reticulocyte plasma membranes contain the enzymatic activities responsible for the synthesis of all the polyprenol-bound sugars that are intermediates in the glycosylation of proteins. The final reaction in which an oligosaccharide in transferred from a dolichol pyrophosphate derivative to an endogenous protein was detected in reticulocyte but not in erythrocyte plasma membranes.
