Abstract
Multidisciplinary approaches by a number of investigators have established that cell-surface carbohydrates are integral components of recognition systems regulating survival, migration, adhesion, growth and differentiation of various cells. Our own experience and contributions to this exciting field are described. We discovered Endo D as the first endoglycosidase acting on glycoproteins, found complementary specificity of two endoglycosidases (Endo D and Endo H), and applied these enzymes for glycoprotein research. Endo-beta-galactosidase C, which hydrolyzes Galalpha1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc xenoantigenic determinant, was later found and molecularly cloned. We also found highly branched poly-N-acetyllactosamines in early embryonic cells, and demonstrated developmentally regulated carbohydrate changes during early mammalian development. The binding site for Dolichos biflorus agglutinin was introduced as a new differentiation marker. Basigin and embigin, two related members of the immunoglobulin superfamily, a sialomucin MGC-24 and other glycoproteins were discovered as carriers of developmentally regulated carbohydrate markers. We proposed enhancement of integrin action as a function of sugar chains with Lewis X epitope, and observed a relationship between the expression of carbohydrate markers and invasive properties of human carcinoma. Midkine, a heparin-binding growth factor, was discovered more recently and its interaction with heparin and oversulfated chondroitin sulfate was elucidated. N-Acetylglucosamine-6-sulfotransferase was cloned and used to reconstitute L-selectin ligands. Gene knockout was applied to reveal in vivo function of basigin, syndecan-4 and chondroitin 6-sulfate. Throughout my research on all these subjects, I have been fortunate in obtaining unexpected observations and enjoying fruitful collaborations.

Abstract
Interactions between the fluorescent probe, calcofluor white, and human serum albumin (HSA) and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (orosomucoid) are compared. The two proteins have comparable isoelectric points, but alpha 1-acid glycoprotein is highly glycosylated (40% of glycans by weight), while the serum albumin is not. Binding of calcofluor to the proteins induces an increase in both the fluorescence anisotropy and the fluorescence intensity of the fluorophore. Also, we found that the calcofluor exhibits a fluorescence emission with a maximum located at 432, 415 or 445 nm, respectively, in the absence of proteins, in the presence of HSA, and in the presence of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein. The stoichiometries of the calcofluor-serum albumin and calcofluor-alpha 1-acid glycoprotein complexes are 2:1 and 1:1, respectively. The association constants are 0.04 and 0.15 microM-1, respectively. The calcofluor does not interact with Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA), although the protein has a hydrophobic site. Nevertheless, one cannot exclude that the binding of the fluorophore to the HSA is nonspecific. Our results, when compared with those obtained with calcofluor dissolved in the hydrophobic solvent isobutanol, and with the fluorescent probe, potassium 6-(p-toluidino)-2-naphthalenesulfonate (TNS), bound to alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, indicate that the emission of calcofluor bound to HSA occurs from a hydrophobic state, while that of calcofluor bound to alpha 1-acid glycoprotein occurs from a hydrophilic state. The fluorescence intensity of calcofluor decreases in the presence of carbohydrates isolated from alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, while it increases in the presence of alpha 1-cellulose. Thus, calcofluor interacts mainly with the glycan moiety of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, and its fluorescence is sensitive to the secondary structure of the glycans.

Abstract
The behaviour of N-acetyllactosamine-type oligosaccharides and glycopeptides on a column of mistletoe lectin I (MLI) immobilized on Sepharose 4B was examined. The immobilized lectin does not show any affinity for asialo-N-glycosylpeptides and related oligosaccharides, which possess one to four unmasked N-acetyllactosamine sequences. However, substitution of at least one of the N-acetyllactosamine sequences by sialic acid residues, either at O-3 or O-6 of galactose, slightly enhances the affinity of the lectin. Such sialylated N-glycosylpeptides or oligosaccharides are eluted from the lectin column by the starting buffer as retarded fractions. Surprisingly, the affinity of the immobilized MLI is higher for P1 antigen-containing glycopeptide isolated from turtle-dove ovomucoid and for glycopeptides from bovine thyroglobulin containing terminal non-reducing Gal alpha 1-3Gal sequences. These structures are strongly bound on the lectin column and their elution is obtained with 0.15 M galactose in the starting buffer.

Abstract
Two glycopeptide fractions prepared from mistletoe (Viscum album) lectin I by Pronase digestion were fractioned by affinity chromatography on a concanavalin A-Sepharose column. With 400-MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy, in conjunction with sugar analysis, the following oligosaccharide structures could be determined: two oligomannose-type glycans in the ratio 4:1, one containing six mannose and the other containing five mannose units, both with two 2-acetamido-2-deoxyglucose units. In addition, a mannotriosyl-->N,N'-diacetylchitobiose glycan containing a xylosyl group and an alpha-fucosyl group (1-->3)-linked to the 2-acetamido-2-deoxyglycosyl-1 residue, a common core element of many plant glycoproteins, was also observed.

Abstract
Four bi-antennary glycan fractions of the N-acetyllactosamine-type, derived from a Lewis lung carcinoma (LL2) cell subline resistant to the Aleuria aurantia agglutinin were studied by 400 MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy. By this method, their antennae were found to be terminated either by alpha(2-3 or 6)-linked N-acetylneuraminic acid or alpha(1-3)-linked galactose residues. The primary structure of glycans of these four glycopeptide or derived oligosaccharide-alditols has been determined in full detail.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that plasma membrane compounds are involved in the contact-dependent inhibition of growth of human diploid fibroblasts. The purification of the active plasma membrane glycoprotein is described in this report. The glycoprotein has an apparent molecular mass of 60-70 kD and, due to differential sialylation, isoelectric points between pH 5.5. and 6.2. Treatment with sialidase yielded one spot in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis with an isoelectric point of 6.3. After removal of the N-glycosidically linked oligosaccharide chains, the apparent molecular mass is reduced by approximately 22 kD. Treatment was diluted NaOH, which removes the O-glycosidically linked portion of oligosaccharides, resulted in a reduction of the apparent molecular mass by approximately 5 kD. The addition of 50 ng/ml of this glycoprotein-for which the term "contactinhibin" is proposed-in immobilized form to sparsely seeded human fibroblasts resulted in a reversible 70-80% inhibition of growth. The inhibition was not confined to human fibroblasts as other cells were also inhibited, with the exclusion of transformed cells, which are refractory to contactinhibin. The inhibitory activity was abolished by treatment with beta-galactosidase or glycopeptidase F, indicating that the glycan moiety is the biologically active part of the molecule. Confluent cultures treated with antibodies raised against contactinhibin were released from the contact-dependent inhibition of growth. In addition to enhanced saturation density, these cultures exhibited a crisscross growth pattern and the formation of foci. Immunocytochemical studies showed that contactinhibin was associated with vimentin. Furthermore, contactinhibin was found to be not expressed in a species- or organ-specific manner.

Abstract
Lectin-resistant variants of mouse Lewis lung carcinoma LL2 cell line, selected with wheat germ agglutinin (WGAR), Ricinus communis agglutinin II (RCA IIR) and Aleuria aurantia agglutinin (AAAR) were studied. Total cellular glycopeptides of the parent LL2 line and of the five lectin-resistant variants were analyzed by gel filtration and affinity chromatography on immobilized concanavalin A and Lens culinaris agglutinin. The results revealed that low-metastatic WGAR and RCA IIR variants possessed less highly branched tri- and tetra-antennary N-acetyllactosaminic type glycans with a simultaneous increase in biantennary N-acetyllactosaminic type, oligomannosidic type or hybrid type glycans, as compared to the parent metastasizing LL2 cell line. These findings imply that cell surface carbohydrate changes may possibly be relevant for metastasis. However, the AAAR variant, which possessed reduced spontaneous metastatic ability after s.c. administration, but increased experimental metastatic ability after i.v. inoculation, exhibited apparently the same glycan pattern than the parent LL2 line. This particular variant is under investigation in order to find specific modification(s) of glycan(s) which could play a specific role in the metastatic process.

Abstract
The changes in glycosylation of an immortalized epithelial cell line (MDCK) before and after progression towards a more malignant phenotype have been studied. The parental MDCK-3 cells were immortalized after long-term passage in vitro and have shown no tendency for spontaneous acquisition of malignancy-related phenotypes such as tumorigenicity, invasion and metastasis. They conserved morphological and functional characteristics of the epithelial tissue of origin. The ras-MDCK cells acquired the fully malignant phenotype after transformation with a Harvey murine sarcoma virus; they were immortalized, invasive in vitro and produced invasive and also metastatic tumors after subcutaneous injection into nude mice. Using immobilized lectins and gel chromatography, before and after liberation of O-linked glycans from the peptide moieties and also after removal of terminal sialic acid, we have found differences in the glycosylpeptides of both whole cells and cell surface trypsinates from ras-MDCK cultures as compared to the parental MDCK-3 cultures: (i) more sialic acid in the N-linked tri- and tetra-antennary structures; (ii) more fucosylation in the N-glycosylpeptides; (iii) more bi-antennary N-glycosylpeptides and less O-linked glycans; and (iv) a lower molecular weight of the O-linked glycans probably due to a decreased sialylation. It is concluded that alterations in sialylation and fucosylation of the cell surface exposed glycans accompanied progression of MDCK-3 cells towards a more malignant phenotype.

Abstract
In plasma membrane glycoproteins of rat liver L-fucose undergoes a rapid intramolecular turnover in that fucose residues are removed from the glycoproteins (Tauber, R., Park, C.S. & Reutter, W. (1983) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 80, 4026-4029). The present paper demonstrates that the intramolecular turnover of L-fucose is markedly decreased during liver regeneration. Turnover half-lives of L-fucose were measured in regenerating liver by pulse-chase experiments in five plasma membrane glycoproteins (Mr 60,000 (gp60), 80,000 (gp80), 120,000 (gp120), 140,000 (gp140), and 160,000 (gp160). The glycoproteins were isolated from plasma membranes by concanavalin A-Sepharose affinity chromatography and semipreparative NaDodSO4 polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. L-Fucose turned over in the five glycoproteins with heterogeneous half-lives ranging from 22 h (gp160) to 49 h (gp120). The protein moieties of the glycoproteins were degraded with half-lives ranging from 56 h (gp80) to 107 h (gp140). Relative to the half-life of the protein backbone the half-live of L-fucose was increased in the five membrane glycoproteins by 70% (gp60), 150% (gp80), 182% (gp120), 60% (gp140) and 16% (gp160) during liver regeneration when compared to normal liver. The data show that L-fucose turns over in different membrane glycoproteins with individual rates, and that loss of L-fucose from plasma membrane glycoproteins is reduced in rapidly proliferating liver after partial hepatectomy.

Abstract
[3H]Mannose-labelled glycopeptides in the slices of livers from neonatal and 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-week-old rats were characterized by column chromatographies on Sephadex G-50 and concanavalin A-Sepharose and by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H digestion. The proportion of complex-type glycopeptides was increased with time until 2 weeks post partum and then returned to the neonatal level. This was mainly due to the increased proportion of concanavalin A-bound (biantennary) species. These changes were accompanied by consistent changes in the activities of processing enzymes in liver microsomal fraction, especially of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I. Complex-type glycopeptides from neonatal and 2- and 5-week-old rat livers were further characterized by column chromatographies on Bio-Gel P-6 and DE 52 DEAE-cellulose in combination with neuraminidase digestion. No significant difference was found between concanavalin A-bound species from neonatal liver and those from liver 5 weeks post partum, most of which were sialylated. Concanavalin A-bound species 2 weeks post partum were comparatively smaller in size and less sialylated. On the other hand, there was no significant difference among concanavalin A-unbound species from the three different sources, most of which were sialylated. Since glycoproteins from regenerating rat liver also contain a higher proportion of complex-type oligosaccharides, as previously reported, such changes in N-linked oligosaccharides of glycoproteins may be related to control of the growth of liver cells.

Abstract
The high-molecular-weight fucosyl glycopeptides of differentiated F9 cells have been analyzed. We found that these high-molecular-weight surface structures contain two components with different molecular weights, the largest of which, peak I, has never before been reported. The material eluting in this peak seems to contain only acidic species. Removal of sialic acid from both the peak I and the peak II species does not eliminate the differences in molecular weight, indicating that the two species have more profound structural differences than can be accounted for by sialic acid. Since peak I glycopeptides were found both in differentiated F9 cells and in two parietal endoderm cell lines, we suggest that its presence is related to parietal endoderm differentiation.

Abstract
Total cellular glycopeptides of 7 human uroepithelial cell lines that differ in the grade of transformation (TGr) were analysed by gel filtration and affinity chromatography on immobilized lectins. The 4 cell lines that are tumorigenic in nude mice and invasive in vitro (TGr III) possess more highly branched, tri- and tetraantennary N-acetyllactosaminic glycans, with less biantennary glycans than the 2 non-tumorigenic, noninvasive (TGr II) cell lines examined. The only exception to this general pattern is the third cell line, which is classified as TGr II. The cellular glycopeptide distribution pattern in this cell line is similar to that of the TGr III cells. The possible relationship between altered glycosylation of membrane glycoproteins and the expression of a malignant phenotype is discussed.

Abstract
[3H]Fucose-labelled glycopeptides in the slices of liver 24h after partial hepatectomy were fractionated on Sephadex G-50. Glycopeptides from regenerating liver contained a higher proportion of lower-Mr components than did controls. Regenerating liver contained a higher proportion of glycopeptides that were bound to concanavalin A-Sepharose and were subsequently eluted with 20mM-methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside than did controls. Concanavalin A-bound glycopeptides from each source were entirely bound to a lentil lectin-Sepharose column. Both the concanavalin A-bound and -unbound fractions from regenerating liver were indistinguishable from the respective controls by Bio-Gel P6 column chromatography and neuraminidase digestion. These results show that fucosyl glycopeptides from regenerating liver contain a higher proportion of biantennary species with core fucose residues than do controls. Glycopeptides from regenerating livers 12h, 72h and 144h after partial hepatectomy were also examined; however, the difference was not significant. These observations suggest that the alterations in fucosyl glycopeptides may be related to rapid growth of hepatocytes 24h after partial hepatectomy. No significant difference was found in either [3H]mannose- or [3H]fucose-labelled glycoproteins from regenerating liver and from controls by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, suggesting that the alteration in glycopeptides should depend on some differences in the late stage of oligosaccharide processing.

Abstract
A murine monoclonal antibody, SLOW-1, was selected, which inhibits the locomotion of chick embryo fibroblasts (the immunizing cells) in tissue culture. The antibody, an IgM, cross-reacts in locomotion assays with a number of tumor and untransformed cells, and on fixed and permeabilized cells binds 1-5 X 10(5) target sites with an affinity of 10(-8) M. The antigen can be extracted from cells with isotonic buffers containing EGTA, binds to Concanavalin A, and when analyzed on SDS gels by immunoblotting, two major antigenic glycoproteins are detected at 57 kd (isoelectric point, 5.1) and at 44 kd (isoelectric point, 5.4). The antigenic site involves galactosyl or mannosyl residues, or both, within a complex, N-linked carbohydrate tree. The possible contribution of the SLOW-1 antigen to a common control system of locomotion operating over the cell surface is discussed.

Abstract
Researchers have endeavored to define surface alterations associated with neoplasia for at least 25 years. In comparisons of normal tissues with animal and human tumors, cultured cells before and after transformation with oncogenic agents, tumorigenic and nontumorigenic transformed cells, metastatic and nonmetastatic tumor cells, high- and low-metastatic variants, and tumor cells before and after induction of differentiation to a less malignant phenotype, a consistent finding has been some form of alteration in surface carbohydrate structures. These changes in glycolipids, glycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans are reviewed, and their structures are illustrated. Both nucleotide sugar biosynthesis and glycosyltransferase changes have been associated with these alterations. In some cases, alterations in transformed cells were related to growth, rather than transformation. In others, the altered glycoconjugates are truly tumor-associated. There is evidence that cell surface glycoconjugates may function in growth control. Altered carbohydrate structures could also serve as receptors for growth promoting factors and be directly responsible for altered growth control. Recent studies with monoclonal antibodies indicate that the vast majority of antibodies recognizing tumor-associated antigens are detecting altered carbohydrate structures. Mechanisms by which the immune system can recognize these carbohydrate structures are considered, and immune recognition of tumor-associated carbohydrate structural alterations is explored. A number of these hypotheses relating to alterations in glycosylation, growth control, and tumor immunity deserve further investigation.

Abstract
Ribophorins are two transmembrane glycoproteins characteristic of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, which are thought to be involved in the binding of ribosomes. Their biosynthesis was studied in vivo using lines of cultured rat hepatocytes (clone 9) and pituitary cells (GH 3.1) and in cell-free synthesis experiments. In vitro translation of mRNA extracted from free and bound polysomes of clone 9 cells demonstrated that ribophorins are made exclusively on bound polysomes. The primary translation products of ribophorin messengers obtained from cultured hepatocytes or from regenerating livers co-migrated with the respective mature proteins, but had slightly higher apparent molecular weights (2,000) than the unglycosylated forms immunoprecipitated from cells treated with tunicamycin. This indicates that ribophorins, in contrast to all other endoplasmic reticulum membrane proteins previously studied, contain transient amino-terminal insertion signals which are removed co-translationally. Kinetic and pulse-chase experiments with [35S]methionine and [3H]mannose demonstrated that ribophorins are not subjected to electrophoretically detectable posttranslational modifications, such as proteolytic cleavage or trimming and terminal glycosylation of oligosaccharide side chain(s). Direct analysis of the oligosaccharides of ribophorin l showed that they do not contain the terminal sugars characteristic of complex oligosaccharides and that they range in composition from Man8GlcNAc to Man5GlcNAc. These findings, as well as the observation that the mature proteins are sensitive to endoglycosidase H and insensitive to endoglycosidase D, are consistent with the notion that the biosynthetic pathway of the ribophorins does not require a stage of passage through the Golgi apparatus.

Abstract
Tissues from rabbit lung were found to incorporate radioactivity from [3H]mannose into the oligosaccharide of a polar lipid soluble in chloroform/methanol/water (10:10:3, by vol.). Only one oligosaccharide-lipid was formed and the composition of the radiolabelled carbohydrate moiety was Glc3Man9(GlcNAc)2. An antitumour antibiotic, bleomycin, and an anti-inflammatory steroid, methylprednisolone, partially inhibited the incorporation of [3H]mannose into oligosaccharide-lipids and in addition resulted in the production of two new components, Man5(GlcNAc)2 and Man2(GlcNAc)2. Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of the glycoproteins synthesized from the oligosaccharide-lipid intermediates showed labelled components with Mr greater than 200000, 130000, 80000 and 62000. The addition of the drugs resulted in the same pattern with the addition of a new component of Mr 36000. Endoglucosaminidase H-treatment of the glycopeptides isolated from the Pronase-digested glycoproteins indicated that the oligosaccharide units in the glycoproteins were of the high-mannose-type.

Abstract
We have examined the distribution of mannose-labelled glycopeptides in eleven different animal cells grown in vitro. All of the cells examined contained endoglycosidase H-sensitive species of high and low molecular weight, associated with the cell material and with the cell surface; however, the distribution between the two pools was different, suggesting a 'sorting out' of glycoproteins. Another conclusion from our studies is that the oligosaccharide processing known to occur during or after membrane glycoprotein translation is incomplete in a high percentage of mannose-containing N-linked oligosaccharides of cell surfaces. There was no consistent correlation between the relative amounts of endoglycosidase H-sensitive and -resistant glycopeptides and whether the cells were normal, virus-transformed or tumour-derived.

Abstract
Confluent cultured intestinal epithelial cells displayed greater adhesion to the substratum than did subconfluent cells. Subconfluent and confluent cells were labelled with [3H]fucose for 24h and the cell-surface components were released by mild Pronase treatment. After extensive Pronase digestion, cell-surface and cell-residue glycopeptides were fractionated on Bio-Gel P-6. The cell surface contained a higher proportion of lower-molecular-weight glycopeptides than the residue. No significant difference in elution pattern was found between total cell-surface glycopeptides of subconfluent and confluent cells. However, confluent cells contained almost twice as much [3H]-fucose-labelled glycopeptides that were bound to concanavalin A-Sepharose and were subsequently eluted with 20mM-methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside as subconfluent cells. When the bound glycopeptides were chromatographed on Bio-Gel P-6, it was found that confluent cells contained a larger proportion of lower-molecular-weight glycopeptides than subconfluent cells. This difference in size was eliminated after treatment of glycopeptides with sialidase. When growth of subconfluent cells was inhibited with a non-toxic concentration of retinoic acid, no significant effect on the elution pattern of [3H]fucose-labelled glycopeptides was observed on either Bio-Gel P-6 or concanavalin A-Sepharose. No significant difference was found in the total [3H]fucose-labelled glycoproteins from subconfluent and confluent cells by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. It is suggested that the differences in [3H]fucose-labelled glycopeptides between subconfluent and confluent cells are cell-density-dependent rather than growth-dependent, and that these differences are likely to result from some changes in glycosylation mechanism(s). Furthermore, the differences in cell-surface glycopeptides may be related to the changes in the adhesion of the cells to the substratum.

Abstract
The effect of the addition of 1 microM-dexamethasone on the temporal sequence of the glycosylation process has been studied in HeLa S3G cells. In the presence of delipidized serum, dexamethasone caused an increase in 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase and an accelerated synthesis of dolichols. These events were followed by an increase in the transfer of mannose from GDP-mannose to mannolipid. An increase in the rate of synthesis of lipid-linked oligosaccharides and a stimulation of glycosylation were observed in cells grown in the presence of delipidized serum in the culture medium. The data are consistent with the view that cellular syntheses of lipids and glycoproteins are co-ordinately controlled.

Abstract
This review deals with the structure and addition of the different types of oligosaccharides to asparagine residues in proteins. This process occurs in several steps, first an oligosaccharide which contains N-acetylglucosamine mannose and glucose is built up joined to dolichyl diphosphate. The oligosaccharide is then transferred to a polypeptide chain, loses its glucose, and is modified by removal of some monosaccharides and addition of others giving rise to a variety of saccharides.

Abstract
By in vitro translation of mRNA's isolated from free and membrane-bound polysomes, direct evidence was obtained for the synthesis of two lysosomal hydrolases, beta-glucuronidase of the rat preputial gland and cathespin D of mouse spleen, on polysomes bound to rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes. When the mRNA's for these two proteins were translated in the presence of microsomal membranes, the in vitro synthesized polypeptides were cotranslationally glycosylated and transferred into the microsomal lumen. Polypeptides synthesized in the absence of microsomal membranes were approximately 2,000 daltons larger than the respective unglycosylated microsomal polypeptides found after short times of labeling in cultured rat liver cells treated with tunicamycin. This strongly suggests that nascent chains of the lysosomal enzymes bear transient amino terminal signals which determine synthesis on bound polysomes and are removed during the cotranslational insertion of the polypeptides into the ER membranes. In the line of cultured rat liver cells used for this work, newly synthesized lysosomal hydrolases showed a dual destination; approximately 60 percent of the microsomal polypeptides detected after short times of labeling were subsequently processed proteolytically to lower molecular weight forms characteristic of the mature enzymes. The remainder was secreted from the cells without further proteolytic processing. As previously observed by other investigations in cultured fibroblasts (A. Gonzalez-Noriega, J.H. Grubbs, V. Talkad, and W.S. Sly, 1980, J Cell Biol. 85: 839-852; A. Hasilik and E.F. Neufeld, 1980, J. Biol. Chem., 255:4937-4945.) the lysosomotropic amine chloroquine prevented the proteolytic maturation of newly synthesized hydrolases and enhanced their section. In addition, unglycosylated hydrolases synthesized in cells treated with tunicamycin were exclusively exported from the cells without undergoing proteolytic processing. These results support the notions that modified sugar residues serve as sorting out signals which address the hydrolases to their lysosomal destination and that final proteolytic cleavage of hydrolase precursors take place within lysosome itself. Structural differences in the carbohydrate chains of intracellular and secreted precursors of cathespin D were detected from their differential sensitivity to digestion with endoglycosidases H and D. These observations suggest that the hydrolases exported into the medium follow the normal secretory route and that some of their oligosaccharides are subject to modifications known to affect many secretory glycoproteins during their passage through the Golgi apparatus.

Abstract
We studied mannose-containing glycopeptides and glycoproteins of subconfluent and confluent intestinal epithelial cells in culture. Cells were labelled with d-[2-(3)H]mannose for 24h and treated with Pronase or trypsin to release cell-surface components. The cell-surface and cell-residue fractions were then exhaustively digested with Pronase and the resulting glycopeptides were fractionated on Bio-Gel P-6, before and after treatment with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H to distinguish between high-mannose and complex oligosaccharides. The cell-surface glycopeptides were enriched in complex oligosaccharides as compared with residue glycopeptides, which contained predominantly high-mannose oligosaccharides. Cell-surface glycopeptides of confluent cells contained a much higher proportion of complex oligosaccharides than did glycopeptides from subconfluent cells. The ability of the cells to bind [(3)H]concanavalin A decreased linearly with increasing cell density up to 5 days in culture and then remained constant. When growth of the cells was completely inhibited by either retinoic acid or cortisol, no significant difference was observed in the ratio of complex to high-mannose oligosaccharides in the cell-surface glycopeptides of subconfluent cells. Only minor differences were found in total mannose-labelled glycoproteins between subconfluent and confluent cells by two-dimensional gel analysis. The adhesion of the cells to the substratum was measured at different stages of growth and cell density. Subconfluent cells displayed a relatively weak adhesion, which markedly increased with increased cell density up to 6 days in culture. It is suggested that alterations in the structure of the carbohydrates of the cell-surface glycoproteins are dependent on cell density rather than on cell growth. These changes in the glycopeptides are correlated with the changes in adhesion of the cells to the substratum.

Abstract
We have examined the electrophoretic pattern of mannose-labelled glycopeptides derived from liver, pancreas, heart, brain, lung and kidney. The various organs were removed from white Swiss mice of 4-5, 20 and 40 days of age as well as from adult animals. Our data demonstrated that each organ had a characteristic ratio of acidic to neutral glycopeptides and that this ratio, in some cases, was substantially modified as the animal grew, consistent with the hypothesis that these changes might play an important role in the development and physiological function of organs.

Abstract
Differentially L-fucose-labelled glycopeptides from the surface of a Syrian golden hamster (SGH) fetal lung control cell line were compared with those from chemically-transformed and tumour cell lines derived from the control line by cochromatography on Concanavalin A-Sepharose (Con A-Sepharose) and Sephadex G-50. Quantitative differences were found both in the unbound and specifically-bound fractions between control and transformed cells upon Con A-Sepharose chromatography. In the glycopeptides from transformed and tumour cells, the unretarded fraction was concomitantly decreased compared to the controls. When the ratio of unbound to specifically-bound fractions was used, a statistically significant difference could be calculated between the values of control versus transformed or tumour cells. In all transformed and tumour cell lines investigated, the quantitative change in Concanavalin A binding, expressed as an increase of the ratio of unretarded to specifically-bound glycopeptides, was paralleled by a shift of transformed or tumour glycopeptides to higher apparent molecular weight compared to the control in gel chromatography.

Abstract
The sialoglycopeptides produced by HM7 human melanoma and fetal uveal melanocyte cultures grown in the presence of [3H]glucosamine and [35S]sulfate were isolated from the Pronase digests of cells, spent media, and intracellular material. From the melanoma culture, six sialoglycopeptides, accounting for 43% of the total 3H radioactivity in the nondiffusible cell-associated glycopeptides, were purified. A major glycopeptide (GPIb) having an apparent molecular weight in the range 12 000-15 000 showed specific sialic acid dependent to interaction with wheat germ agglutinin (WGA). It was found to contain mainly O-glycosidically linked oligosaccharides having the structure (AcNeu) leads to 0-2[Gal leads to GalNAc]; some N-glycosidically linked saccharides were also present. A second WGA-binding glycopeptide (GPIa) was smaller and less anionic and had a higher proportion of N-glycosidically linked saccharides than GPIb. The normal fetal cultures yielded either no (iris) or markedly reduced (melanocytes) quantities of the WGA-binding glycopeptides. The four WGA-nonbinding sialoglycopeotides purified from melanoma were shown to have complex (N-acetyllactosaminly type) oligosaccharides linked via N-acetylglucosamine to asparagine with either no or insignificant amounts of O-glycosidically linked saccharides. The corresponding glycopeptides from melanocytes were of smaller molecular size and lower anionic charge, reflecting an overall lower degree of glycosylation.

Abstract
Sindbis virus was used to examine host cell growth-dependent expression of oligomannosyl glycopeptides within single species of viral glycoproteins. Four mannosyl oligosaccharides ranging from 5 to 8 mannose residues were separated on Bio-Gel P4 column chromatography. Virus derived from rapidly growing chicken embryo fibroblasts displayed greater quantities of larger sized oligomannosyl glycopeptides in intact virus and in purified Sindbis virus glycoproteins E1 and E2 compared with virus from nongrowing cells. The pattern of mannosyl oligosaccharides in the two glycoproteins differed remarkably. E1 and E2 contained predominantly Man5GlcNAc and Man7GlcNAc, respectively; in addition, E1 relative to E2 contained more complex-type glycopeptides than mannosyl-type glycopeptides. These data clearly demonstrate that host-dependent alterations in glycosylation are expressed in Sindbis virus and that differences in specific glycosylation patterns are obscured in oligosaccharides derived from mixtures of glycoproteins. It is apparent that processing of these cotranslated glycoproteins can yield different patterns of oligosaccharide structures.

Abstract
Experiments are described and reviewed demonstrating that the bound carbohydrates of glycoproteins of many forms of malignant cells differ from their normal counterpart. The difference involves many oligosaccharide groups and is essentially quantitative. The characteristics of the difference are discussed. Despite the consistency of the finding its significance is unknown because the function of bound carbohydrates is largely unknown. Some properties of protein-bound carbohydrates that may be of special relevance to malignancy and other pathological processes are considered. The array of structures found in the cell is highly complex but seems to be similar in man, hamster, mouse, chick and fish. On the other hand, the biosynthesis of these structures can be influenced and altered by the environment and by drugs; the cell is tolerant of variation in its bound carbohydrate; microheterogeneity of the carbohydrates is probably the rule rather than the exception; experiments to test the function of bound carbohydrate show only small effects. A role for the bound carbohydrates in evolution is proposed that is consistent with these characteristics. It is also postulated that altered, bound carbohydrates of most glycoprotein does not endanger the life of the cell but may be responsible for involvement and change of many processes some of which permit the malignant cell to divide persistently and to prosper.

Abstract
From cells of a nullipotential line of embryonal carcinoma was isolated a membrane fraction enriched in the cell surface F9 antigen. More than 40% of the radioactive fucose and galactose incorporated by cells into nondialyzable material was recovered in this membrane preparation, corresponding to an approximately 10-fold purification of the labeled material. Extreme heterogeneity of membrane glycoproteins labeled with these sugars was revealed by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. Glycopeptides prepared by extensive pronase digestion of membranes labeled with fucose or galactose showed properties similar to those already described for fucose-labeled glycopeptides from whole cells. Namely, large glycopeptides eluted near the excluded volume of Sephadex G-50 column were the predominant glycopeptide species, while complex glycopeptides of molecular weight around 2500 were minor components. Therefore, these large glycopeptides, characteristic of embryonal carcinoma cells, are derived mainly from a variety of glycoproteins closely associated with the membrane system, most probably cell-surface membrane of the cells. The large glycopeptides were also significantly labeled with glucosamine, but only slightly with mannose; major components of mannose-labeled glycopeptides from the membranes were high-mannose glycopeptides of low molecular weight. Several experiments excluded the possibility that the larg glycopeptides are mucopolysaccharides, glycolipids or mucin-type glycoproteins with short oligosaccharide chains.

Abstract
Mannose-labeled cellular glycopeptides derived from human diploid fibroblasts (KL-2) were separated into two classes by QAE-Sephadex chromatography. High-voltage paper electrophoresis and Sephadex G-50 chromatography were used to characterize the glycopeptides further. At least five distinct neutral fractions were isolated with molecular weights ranging from 1050 to 2000 daltons. A linear gradient of ammonium acetate eluted a heterogeneous population of acidic glycopeptides. The use of QAE-Sephadex enables a single-step fractionation of both neutral and acidic glycopeptides on one column. The technique appears to be sensitive enough to distinguish growth-dependent alterations between growing and non-growing cells.

The fractionation of glycopeptides isolated from the surface of an established line of adult rat hepatocytes, after 48 h metabolic labeling with [14C] glucose leads to the demonstration of the presence of two types of glycopeptides: i) O-glycopeptides containing N-acetylneuraminic acid, galactose and N-acetylgalactosamine, ii) N-glycopeptides with mannose, galactose, N-acetylgluosamine, fucose and N-acetylneuraminic acid. The former yield, by alkaline reductive degradation, a trisaccharide: sialyl-galactosyl-N-acetyl-galactosaminitol, a tetrasaccharide : di-sialyl-galactosyl-N-acetyl-galactosaminitol and a small amount of the disaccharide: galactosyl-N-acetyl-galactosaminitol. The latter are alkali-stable and can be divided by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose into i) acidic glycopeptides, not retained on a Concanavalin A-Sepharose column and belonging to the N-acetyllactosaminic type glycopedtides and ii) neutral glycopeptides which can be further fractionated on the Con-A-Sepharose column into non-retained glycopeptides belonging to the N-acetyllactosaminic type, and glycopeptides retained on the Sepharose-Con A column, containing only N-acetylglucosamine and mannose residues and related to the oligomannosidic type glycopeptides.

Abstract
Vesicular stomatitis virus is known to mature at HeLa cell plasma membranes. To study the process, cells, infected with vesicular stomatitis virus, were fractionated after short term labeling studies (1 min pulse, 1 min chase) to determine the assembly kinetics of G protein and M protein into plasma membranes. Newly synthesized M protein was found released in the supernatant from which free polysomes were sedimented during sucrose gradient analysis of these polysomes. If this M protein is particle bound, it must have a density of less than 1.08 g/ml. About 40% of this M protein so labeled was not sedimentable at 165,000 X g for 16 h. This newly synthesized M protein had not yet assembled into plasma membrane and thus must represent an internal pool. This and previous studies show that it has a subsequent transit time to the plasma membrane of about 2 min. Once associated with plasma membranes, M protein decayed in an approximately logarithmic fashion indicating that newly synthesized M randomly mixes (and turns over) with preexisting M protein. G protein was particle bound in a 1 min pulse, 1 min chase, and was never found released in a soluble form. At the later time when fucose is added to G protein, the oligosaccharide moiety is near to complete, and on completion is about 2,000 in molecular weight. Evidence is presented showing that fucose is probably attached to the N-acetylglucosamine of the protein carbohydrate linkage. G protein to which fucose had just been added was located internally on a membranous fraction of density 1.14 g/ml in sucrose; its subsequent transit time from this pool (which in uninfected cells is between 1--2% of the total cell fucosyl glycoprotein) was about 15 min. Because their densities were different and their transit times were different, internal newly synthesized M and fucosyl G protein which assemble into plasma membranes were not on the same internal membranous component. Association of M protein with the plasma membranes may thus occur from a nonsedimentable soluble cytoplasmic pool by a process of direct adsorption.

Abstract
The oligosaccharide moiety of cell-surface mannose-labelled glycopeptides from a normal (WI38) and an SV40 transformed cell (W118Va) have been investigated using specific glycosidases. Partially purified mannose-containing glycopeptides were separated into acidic and neutral species by high voltage paper electrophoresis. Endo-beta-N-acetylgucosaminidase D, in the presence of three exoglycosidases, released from the acidic glycopeptides of non-growing cells a product completely absent in growing cells. However, the acidic species from growing WI18 Va and WI38 were found to be similar in the products released by enzyme digestion. The neutral species from growing normal cells contained a proportion of the glycopeptides resistant to endoglycosidase D while those from the non-growing cells were almost free of these resistant species. The SV40 transformed cells were further enriched, when compared to normal cells (WI38), in these neutral resistant species. We suggest that the oligomannosyl core of the majority of the susceptible species contains three mannose residues while that of the resistant species contains between six and eight.

Abstract
Two mutant cell lines derived from the MPC-11 mouse myeloma synthesize immunoglobulin with abnormal heavy chains and normal light chains. The defective heavy chains have molecular weights of 38,000-42,000 (M3.11) and 50,000 daltons (ICR 11.19) as compared to 55,000 daltons of the wild-type. The glycosylation of the defective heavy chains demostrated several unusual features: first, 30-50% of the M3.11 heavy chain contained no carbonydrate, while 100% of the wildtype and ICR 11.19 heavy chains were glycosylated; second, the glycopeptides of the M3.11 heavy chains revealed an altered gel filtration pattern when compared with the wild-type; and third, digestion with an endoglycosidase indicated that the heterogeneity of the wild-type and M3.11 glycopeptides involved structural changes in the core region of the oligosaccharide. Examination of two other glycoproteins (the major histocompatibility complex antigens) in these cell lines showed that in M3.11, the H-2D but not the H-2K product was abnormally glycosylated and contained a smaller glycopeptide. However, in a subclone of M3.11 that had lost the ability to produce immunoglobulin heavy chains, the H-2D glycopeptide had returned to wild-type size. We concluded from these studies that the defective M3.11 immunoglobulin heavy chain interfered both with its own glycosylation and the glycosylation of another protein, H-2D.

Abstract
Approximately 70% of fucose-labeled glycopeptides from the cell surface and cellular material of rat fibroblasts (3Y1B cells) were hydrolyzed by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase D in the presence of neuraminidase, beta-galactosidase and beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase. Structure of the susceptible glycopeptides were found to be very similar to non-membrane glycopeptides of the complex heteropolysaccharide unit, such as the sialylated glycopeptides of thyroglobulin. On the other hand, the resistant glycopeptides were also refractory toward endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H and alpha-mannosidase, and appeared to be a mixture of glycopeptides with unique structures.
