title: Dolichol kinase activity: a key factor in the control of N-glycosylation in inner mitochondrial membranes.
abstract: Inner mitochondrial membranes from liver contain a dolichol kinase which required CTP as a phosphoryl donor. Kinase activity was linear with protein concentration and unlike other reported kinases, activated almost equally well by Mg2+, Mn2+ or Ca2+. Thin-layer chromatography showed that the reaction product co-migrated with authentic dolichyl monophosphate. The phosphorylation of dolichol did not occur in presence of ATP, GTP or UTP but required exogenous dolichol for maximal activity. Newly synthesized [3H]dolichyl monophosphate has been shown to be glycosylated in the presence of GDP[14C]mannose or UDP[14C]glucose. The double labeled lipids formed by the sugar nucleotide-dependent reactions were identified respectively as [14C]mannosylphosphoryl[3H]dolichol and [14C]glucosylphosphoryl [3H]dolichol. These results are discussed in terms of regulation of N-glycosylation processes in inner mitochondrial membranes from liver.
