摘要: Abstract The effects of tunicamycin on protein glycosylation and cell differentiation were examined during early development Dictyostelium discoideum. Tunicamycin inhibited growth reversibly in liquid medium. At a concentration 3 μg/ml, completely morphogenesis developing cells. These cells remained as smooth lawn failed to undergo chemotactic migration. expression EDTA-resistant contact sites was also inhibited. inhibition by reversible if washed free the drug within first 10 hr incubation. After 12 development, protected from sheath. When treated with incorporation [3H]mannose [3H] fucose approximately 75% 45 min while no significant [3H]leucine observed initial treatment. further evidenced reduction number glycoproteins “stained” 125I-labelled con A. A developmentally regulated high-molecular-weight glycoproteins, including site glycoprotein (gp80), undetectable when labelled [3H]fucose presence tunicamycin. It is therefore evident that N-glycosidically linked carbohydrate moieties may play crucial role intercellular cohesiveness D.
