title: Translocation of the yeast dolichol-phosphate-mannose synthase into microsomal membranes.
abstract: Dolichol-phosphate-mannose synthase catalyzes the formation of Dolichol-phosphate-mannose from Dolichol-phosphate and GDP-mannose. Analysis of the primary amino acid sequence of the yeast enzyme predicts a luminal orientation of the enzyme in the endoplasmic reticulum. We analysed the translocation of the Dolichol-phosphate-mannose synthase into dog pancreatic microsomal membranes: resistance to proteolytic attack provides evidence of its luminal orientation and asks for a reevaluation of the topology of the reaction.
