Abstract
Subcellular membrane systems are highly enriched in dolichol, whose role in organelle homeostasis and endosomal-lysosomal pathway remains largely unclear besides being involved in protein glycosylation. DHDDS encodes for the catalytic subunit (DHDDS) of the enzyme cis-prenyltransferase (cis-PTase), involved in dolichol biosynthesis and dolichol-dependent protein glycosylation in the endoplasmic reticulum. An autosomal recessive form of retinitis pigmentosa (retinitis pigmentosa 59) has been associated with a recurrent DHDDS variant. Moreover, two recurring de novo substitutions were detected in a few cases presenting with neurodevelopmental disorder, epilepsy and movement disorder. We evaluated a large cohort of patients (n = 25) with de novo pathogenic variants in DHDDS and provided the first systematic description of the clinical features and long-term outcome of this new neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorder. The functional impact of the identified variants was explored by yeast complementation system and enzymatic assay. Patients presented during infancy or childhood with a variable association of neurodevelopmental disorder, generalized epilepsy, action myoclonus/cortical tremor and ataxia. Later in the disease course, they experienced a slow neurological decline with the emergence of hyperkinetic and/or hypokinetic movement disorder, cognitive deterioration and psychiatric disturbances. Storage of lipidic material and altered lysosomes were detected in myelinated fibres and fibroblasts, suggesting a dysfunction of the lysosomal enzymatic scavenger machinery. Serum glycoprotein hypoglycosylation was not detected and, in contrast to retinitis pigmentosa and other congenital disorders of glycosylation involving dolichol metabolism, the urinary dolichol D18/D19 ratio was normal. Mapping the disease-causing variants into the protein structure revealed that most of them clustered around the active site of the DHDDS subunit. Functional studies using yeast complementation assay and in vitro activity measurements confirmed that these changes affected the catalytic activity of the cis-PTase and showed growth defect in yeast complementation system as compared with the wild-type enzyme and retinitis pigmentosa-associated protein. In conclusion, we characterized a distinctive neurodegenerative disorder due to de novo DHDDS variants, which clinically belongs to the spectrum of genetic progressive encephalopathies with myoclonus. Clinical and biochemical data from this cohort depicted a condition at the intersection of congenital disorders of glycosylation and inherited storage diseases with several features akin to of progressive myoclonus epilepsy such as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis and other lysosomal disorders.

Abstract
Oligosaccharyl phosphates (OSPs) are hydrolyzed from oligosaccharide-diphosphodolichol (DLO) during protein N-glycosylation by an uncharacterized process. An OSP-generating activity has been reported in vitro, and here we asked if its biochemical characteristics are compatible with a role in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-situated DLO regulation. We demonstrate a Co(2+)-dependent DLO diphosphatase (DLODP) activity that splits DLO into dolichyl phosphate and OSP. DLODP has a pH optimum of 5.5 and is inhibited by vanadate but not by NaF. Polyprenyl diphosphates inhibit [(3)H]OSP release from [(3)H]DLO, the length of their alkyl chains correlating positively with inhibition potency. The diphosphodiester GlcNAc2-PP-solanesol is hydrolyzed to yield GlcNAc2-P and inhibits [(3)H]OSP release from [(3)H]DLO more effectively than the diphosphomonoester solanesyl diphosphate. During subcellular fractionation of liver homogenates, DLODP codistributes with microsomal markers, and density gradient centrifugation revealed that the distribution of DLODP is closer to that of Golgi apparatus-situated UDP-galactose glycoprotein galactosyltransferase than those of dolichyl-P-dependent glycosyltransferases required for DLO biosynthesis in the ER. Therefore, a DLODP activity showing selectivity toward lipophilic diphosphodiesters such as DLO, and possessing properties distinct from other lipid phosphatases, is identified. Separate subcellular locations for DLODP action and DLO biosynthesis may be required to prevent uncontrolled DLO destruction.

Abstract
Polyisoprenoid alcohols are membrane lipids that are present in every cell, conserved from archaea to higher eukaryotes. The most common form, alpha-saturated polyprenol or dolichol is present in all tissues and most organelle membranes of eukaryotic cells. Dolichol has a well defined role as a lipid carrier for the glycan precursor in the early stages of N-linked protein glycosylation, which is assembled in the endoplasmic reticulum of all eukaryotic cells. Other glycosylation processes including C- and O-mannosylation, GPI-anchor biosynthesis and O-glucosylation also depend on dolichol biosynthesis via the availability of dolichol-P-mannose and dolichol-P-glucose in the ER. The ubiquity of dolichol in cellular compartments that are not involved in glycosylation raises the possibility of additional functions independent of these protein post-translational modifications. The molecular basis of several steps involved in the synthesis and the recycling of dolichol and its derivatives is still unknown, which hampers further research into this direction. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on structural and functional aspects of dolichol metabolites. We will describe the metabolic disorders with a defect in known steps of dolichol biosynthesis and recycling in human and discuss their pathogenic mechanisms. Exploration of the developmental, cellular and biochemical defects associated with these disorders will provide a better understanding of the functions of this lipid class in human.

Abstract
Prenols, a class of lipids formed by the condensation of five carbon isoprenoids, have important roles in numerous metabolic pathways of the eukaryotic cell. Prenols are found in the cell as free alcohols, such as dolichol, or can be attached to vitamins, as with the fat soluble vitamins. In addition, prenols such as farnesyl- and geranylgeranyl-diphosphate are substrates for the transfer of farnesyl and geranylgeranyl units to proteins with important implications for signal transduction within the cell. Dolichol phosphate- and dolichol diphosphate-linked sugars are central to the formation of the lipid-linked branched oligosaccharide, Dol-PP-(GlcNAc)2(Man)9(Glc)3, used for co-translational en bloc protein N-glycosylation in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. Toward furthering our understanding of the role of prenol lipids in the cell, we have developed a method for the detection and quantification of dolichol and coenzyme Q by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS). These methods, developed using the mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 tumor cells, are broadly applicable to other cell lines, tissues, bacteria, and yeast. We also present a new MS-based method for the detection and structural characterization of the intact dolichol diphosphate oligosaccharide Dol-PP-(GlcNAc)2 (Man)9(Glc)3 from porcine pancreas.

Abstract
The CWH8 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been shown recently (Fernandez, F., Rush, J. S., Toke, D. A., Han, G., Quinn, J. E., Carman, G. M., Choi, J.-Y., Voelker, D. R., Aebi, M., and Waechter, C. J. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 41455-41464) to encode a dolichyl pyrophosphate (Dol-P-P) phosphatase associated with crude microsomal fractions. Mutations in CWH8 result in the accumulation of Dol-P-P, deficiency in lipid intermediate synthesis, defective protein N-glycosylation, and a reduced growth rate. A cDNA (DOLPP1, GenBank accession number AB030189) from mouse brain encoding a homologue of the yeast CWH8 gene is now shown to complement the defects in growth and protein N-glycosylation, and to correct the accumulation of Dol-P-P in the cwh8Delta yeast mutant. Northern blot analyses demonstrate a wide distribution of the DOLPP1 mRNA in mouse tissues. Overexpression of Dolpp1p in yeast, COS, and Sf9 cells produces substantial increases in Dol-P-P phosphatase activity but not in dolichyl monophosphate or phosphatidic acid phosphatase activities in microsomal fractions. Subcellular fractionation and immunofluorescence studies localize the enzyme encoded by DOLPP1 to the endoplasmic reticulum of COS cells. The results of protease sensitivity studies with microsomal vesicles from the lpp1Delta/dpp1Delta yeast mutant expressing DOLPP1 are consistent with Dolpp1p having a luminally oriented active site. The sequence of the DOLPP1 cDNA predicts a polypeptide with 238 amino acids, and a new polypeptide corresponding to 27 kDa is observed when DOLPP1 is expressed in yeast, COS, and Sf9 cells. This study is the first identification and characterization of a cDNA clone encoding an essential component of a mammalian lipid pyrophosphate phosphatase that is highly specific for Dol-P-P. The specificity, subcellular location, and topological orientation of the active site described in the current study strongly support a role for Dolpp1p in the recycling of Dol-P-P discharged during protein N-glycosylation reactions on the luminal leaflet of the endoplasmic reticulum in mammalian cells.

Abstract
The distribution of the caspase family (caspase-2, -3, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10) was assessed using immunochemical detection of subcellular fractions of 8-week-old rat brain tissues. The present study demonstrated that the relative protein level of caspase-2, -3, -6, -8 and -10 was highest in the soluble cytosolic fraction, while that for caspase-9 was highest in the nucleus. We also found that caspase-3 and -6 were present at high levels and caspase-2, -8 and -9 at moderate levels in the nerve endings fraction as well as in the soluble cytosolic fraction. These results suggest that rat brain caspases are differentially expressed in the subcellular fractions of the rat brain, and that caspases not only contribute to the regulation of neuronal death, but also to synaptic plasticity.

Abstract
Mutations in the CWH8 gene, which encodes an ER transmembrane protein with a phosphate binding pocket in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, result in a deficiency in dolichyl pyrophosphate (Dol-P-P)-linked oligosaccharide intermediate synthesis and protein N-glycosylation (van Berkel, M. A., Rieger, M., te Heesen, S., Ram, A. F., van den Ende, H., Aebi, M., and Klis, F. M. (1999) Glycobiology 9, 243-253). Genetic, enzymological, and topological approaches were taken to investigate the potential role of Cwh8p in Dol-P-P/Dol-P metabolism. Overexpression of Cwh8p in the yeast double mutant strain, lacking LPP1/DPP1, resulted in an impressive increase in Dol-P-P phosphatase activity, a relatively small increase in Dol-P phosphatase activity, but no change in phosphatidate (PA) phosphatase activity in microsomal fractions. The Dol-P-P phosphatase encoded by CWH8 is optimally active in the presence of 0.5% octyl glucoside and relatively unstable in Triton X-100, distinguishing this activity from the lipid phosphatases encoded by LPP1 and DPP1. Stoichiometric amounts of P(i) and Dol-P are formed during the enzymatic reaction indicating that Cwh8p cleaves the anhydride linkage in Dol-P-P. Membrane fractions from Sf-9 cells expressing Cwh8p contained a 30-fold higher level of Dol-P-P phosphatase activity, a slight increase in Dol-P phosphatase activity, but no increase in PA phosphatase relative to controls. This is the first report of a lipid phosphatase that hydrolyzes Dol-P-P/Dol-P but not PA. In accord with this enzymatic function, Dol-P-P accumulated in cells lacking the Dol-P-P phosphatase. Topological studies using different approaches indicate that Cwh8p is a transmembrane protein with a luminally oriented active site. The specificity, subcellular location, and topological orientation of this novel enzyme are consistent with a role in the re-utilization of the glycosyl carrier lipid for additional rounds of lipid intermediate biosynthesis after its release during protein N-glycosylation reactions.

Abstract
The typical size of the yeast dolichol family ranges from 14 to 19 isoprene units D((14-19)) with dolichol(16) being the dominating species. Induction of peroxisome proliferation by growing the cells in medium containing oleate as carbon source induces the synthesis of an additional family of longer dolichols D((19-24)) with D(21) being the most prominent. This phenomenon is abolished in the peroxisome biogenesis deficient strain in which the PEX1 gene (encoding Pex1p peroxin) has been disrupted. The total amount of dolichols in pex1Delta cells is lower than in the wild-type cells, as is the amount of phosphatidylcholine. Moreover, the levels of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase and farnesyl diphosphate synthase, two key enzymes in dolichol biosynthesis, are decreased in the absence of a functional PEX1 gene. The presence of longer dolichols in oleate-induced Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, the absence of this additional family in peroxisome deficient cells, and a decrease of the total amount of dolichols in these cells indicate the involvement of peroxisomes in the biosynthesis of dolichols in this organism.

Abstract
The precursor oligosaccharide donor for protein N-glycosylation in eukaryotes, Glc3Man9GlcNAc(2)-P-P-dolichol, is synthesized in two stages on both leaflets of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER). There is good evidence that the level of dolichyl monophosphate (Dol-P) is one rate-controlling factor in the first stage of the assembly process. In the current topological model it is proposed that ER proteins (flippases) then mediate the transbilayer movement of Man-P-Dol, Glc-P-Dol, and Man5GlcNAc(2)-P-P-Dol from the cytoplasmic leaflet to the lumenal leaflet. The rate of flipping of the three intermediates could plausibly influence the conversion of Man5GlcNAc(2)-P-P-Dol to Glc3Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-P-P-Dol in the second stage on the lumenal side of the rough ER. This article reviews the current understanding of the enzymes involved in the de novo biosynthesis of Dol-P and other polyisoprenoid glycosyl carrier lipids and speculates about the role of membrane proteins and enzymes that could be involved in the transbilayer movement of the lipid intermediates and the recycling of Dol-P and Dol-P-P discharged during glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor biosynthesis, N-glycosylation, and O- and C-mannosylation reactions on the lumenal surface of the rough ER.

Abstract
Two genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, LPP1 and DPP1, with homology to a mammalian phosphatidic acid (PA) phosphatase were identified and disrupted. Neither single nor combined deletions resulted in growth or secretion phenotypes. As observed previously (Toke, D. A., Bennett, W. L., Dillon, D. A., Wu, W.-I., Chen, X., Ostrander, D. B., Oshiro, J., Cremesti, A., Voelker, D. R., Fischl, A. S., and Carman, G. M. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 3278-3284; Toke, D. A., Bennett, W. L., Oshiro, J., Wu, W.-I., Voelker, D. R., and Carman, G. M. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 14331-14338), the disruption of DPP1 and LPP1 produced profound losses of Mg2+-independent PA phosphatase activity. The coincident attenuation of hydrolytic activity against diacylglycerol pyrophosphate prompted an examination of the effects of these disruptions on hydrolysis of isoprenoid pyrophosphates. Disruption of either LPP1 or DPP1 caused respective decreases of about 25 and 75% in Mg2+-independent hydrolysis of several isoprenoid phosphates by particulate fractions isolated from these cells. The particulate and cytosolic fractions from the double disruption (lpp1Delta dpp1Delta) showed essentially complete loss of Mg2+-independent hydrolytic activity toward dolichyl phosphate (dolichyl-P), dolichyl pyrophosphate (dolichyl-P-P), farnesyl pyrophosphate (farnesyl-P-P), and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (geranylgeranyl-P-P). However, a modest Mg2+-stimulated activity toward PA and dolichyl-P was retained in cytosol from lpp1Delta dpp1Delta cells. The action of Dpp1p on isoprenyl pyrophosphates was confirmed by characterization of the hydrolysis of geranylgeranyl-P-P by the purified protein. These results indicate that LPP1 and DPP1 account for most of the hydrolytic activities toward dolichyl-P-P, dolichyl-P, farnesyl-P-P, and geranylgeranyl-P-P but also suggest that yeast contain other enzymes capable of dephosphorylating these essential isoprenoid intermediates.

Abstract
Microsomal fractions from pig and calf brain catalyze the enzymatic dephosphorylation of endogenous and exogenous dolichyl monophosphate (Dol-P) (Sumbilla, C. A., and Waechter, C. J. (1985) Methods Enzymol. 111, 471-482). The Dol-P phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.51) has been solubilized by extracting pig brain microsomes with the nonionic detergent Nonidet P-40 and purified approximately 1,107-fold by a combination of anion exchange chromatography, polyethylene glycol fractionation, dye-ligand chromatography, and wheat germ agglutinin affinity chromatography. Treatment of the enzyme with neuraminidase prevented binding to wheat germ agglutinin-Sepharose, indicating the presence of one or more N-acetylneuraminyl residues per molecule of enzyme. When the highly purified polyisoprenyl phosphate phosphatase was analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, a major 33-kDa polypeptide was observed. Enzymatic dephosphorylation of Dol-P by the purified phosphatase was 1) optimal at pH 7; 2) potently inhibited by F-, orthovanadate, and Zn2+ > Co2+ > Mn2+ but unaffected by Mg2+; 3) exhibited an approximate Km for C95-Dol-P of 45 microM; and 4) was sensitive to N-ethylmaleimide, phenylglyoxal, and diethylpyrocarbonate. The pig brain phosphatase did not dephosphorylate glucose 6-phosphate, mannose 6-phosphate, 5'-AMP, or p-nitrophenylphosphate, but it dephosphorylated dioleoyl-phosphatidic acid at initial rates similar to those determined for Dol-P. Based on the virtually identical sensitivity of Dol-P and phosphatidic acid dephosphorylation by the highly purified enzyme to N-ethylmaleimide, F-, phenylglyoxal, and diethylpyrocarbonate, both substrates appear to be hydrolyzed by a single enzyme with an apparent dual specificity. This is the first report of the purification of a neutral Dol-P phosphatase from mammalian tissues. Although the enzyme is Mg2+-independent and capable of dephosphorylating Dol-P and PA, several enzymological properties distinguish this lipid phosphomonoesterase from PAP2.

Abstract
A Mg2+-independent phosphatidate phosphohydrolase was purified from rat liver plasma membranes in two distinct forms, an anionic protein and a cationic protein. Both forms of the enzyme dephosphorylated phosphatidate, ceramide 1-phosphate, lysophosphatidate, and sphingosine 1-phosphate. When assayed at a constant molar ratio of lipid to Triton X-100 of 1:500, the apparent Km values of the anionic phosphohydrolase for the lipid substrates was 3.5, 1.9, 0.4, and 4.0 microM, respectively. The relative catalytic efficiency of the enzyme for phosphatidate, ceramide 1-phosphate, lysophosphatidate, and sphingosine 1-phosphate was 0.16, 0.14, 0.48, and 0.04 liter (min x mg)-1, respectively. The hydrolysis of phosphatidate was inhibited competitively by ceramide 1-phosphate, lysophosphatidate, and sphingosine 1-phosphate. The Ki(app) values were 5.5, 5.9, and 4.0 microM, respectively. The hydrolysis of phosphatidate by the phosphohydrolase conformed to a surface dilution kinetic model. It is concluded that the enzyme is a lipid phosphomonoesterase that could modify the balance of phosphatidate, ceramide 1-phosphate, lysophosphatidate, and sphingosine 1-phosphate relative to diacylglycerol, ceramide, monoacylglycerol, and sphingosine, respectively. The enzyme could thus play an important role in regulating cell activation and signal transduction.

Abstract
Fatty acid synthase is a key enzyme in thede novo synthesis of fatty acids. Expression of fatty acid synthase mRNA in adipocytes is inhibited by beta adrenergic agonists. We wondered if prolonged exposure to high concentrations of catecholamines might inhibit expression of the fatty acid synthase gene in fat cells. In this study we investigated the effects of adrenergic stimulation on the regulation of fatty acid synthase in fat cells. Rats were infused continuously with epinephrine (60 μg/kg/hr) or vehicle for 48 h and fat pads were isolated. The infusion of epinephrine down-regulated expression of the fatty acid synthase mRNA as well as decreasing enzyme activity. Both epinephrine and isoproterenol inhibited fatty acid synthase mRNA expression when adipocytes were activatedin vitro. These effects were blocked by the β adrenergic antagonist propranolol. In contrast, incubation with the adenosine receptor agonist phenylisopropyl-adenosine which decreases cAMP accumulation in fat cells, caused an increase in accumulation of fatty acid synthase mRNA. These results indicate that prolonged exposure to catecholamines, acting via β adrenergic receptors, inhibit expression of the fatty acid synthase gene possibly by increasing intracellular concentrations of cAMP.

Abstract
We are using fluorescent derivatives to visualize the endocytic transport of dolichol intermediates from the cell surface to the lysosome, and to estimate their rate of turnover within the lysosome. Anthroyl dolichol and anthroyl [1-14C]dolichol were synthesized and purified by chromatography on silica and C18 Sep-Paks followed by high-performance liquid chromatography on C18. The successful synthesis of anthroyl polyisoprenoid alcohols was confirmed by the use of uv-visible spectrometry and by fluorescence spectrometry. The purified esters were taken up into Ham's media containing 10-30% fetal calf serum or alternatively reconstituted into phospholipid liposomes for delivery to human fibroblasts in culture. The uptake of fluorescent dolichol esters into the cells and into lysosomes was demonstrated using fluorescence microscopy. The localization of anthroyl dolichol in lysosomes was further documented by simultaneously labeling fibroblasts with anthroyl dolichol and FITC-dextran a recognized lysosomal marker. Fibroblasts generally showed several groupings (domains) of lysosomes, some were dually labeled while others were labeled exclusively with either anthroyl dolichol or FITC-dextran. Labeling with anthroyl dolichol was very slow relative to labeling of the same fibroblasts with FITC-dextran suggesting that anthroyl dolichol acts as a labeling agent for intracellular membranes, particularly those of the lysosome while the dextran fluorescence is presumably of lysosolic origin. Several types of experiments were done with anthroyl [1-14C]dolichol to establish that the fluorescence seen in lysosomes represents anthroyl dolichol. Anthroyl dolichol appears to enter fibroblasts intact, since we were unable to recover any free [1-14C]dolichol from total lipid extracts of (i) media used for the uptake of anthroyl dolichol or (ii) the media removed from cells labelled for 42 h. In addition, attempts to hydrolyze anthroyl [1-14C]dolichol in vitro using whole fibroblast homogenates at pH 4.0 and 7.5 were unsuccessful, even though the fibroblasts expressed acid lipase activity using 4-methylumbelliferyl palmitate as substrate.

Abstract
The content and the percent distribution of dolichol and dolichyl phosphate homologues were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography in perinatal rat livers. Short dolichol chains and no dolichyl phosphate are detectable in the liver at foetal stages; dolichol content progressively increases during liver development. A good correlation is observable between the changes of the dolichol, dolichyl phosphate and the activity of dolichyl-phosphate phosphatase.

Abstract
The concentrations of the three major cellular forms of dolichol (free, esterified and phosphorylated) were determined in murine liver, kidney and heart. The tissue levels of these forms of dolichol were studied in detail as a function of age. Changes in the activities of dolichyl phosphate phosphatase and dolichol kinase were also determined. In liver, the concentration of unesterified dolichol, fatty acyl dolichol and dolichyl phosphate increased markedly over a period of 6 to 25 months (four-fold, 5.5-fold and nine-fold, respectively). In kidney only, free dolichol and phosphorylated dolichol increased (approximately four-fold in each case). However, this tissue consistently showed the highest concentrations of all forms of dolichol as compared to liver and heart. In heart, both free and esterified dolichol concentrations increased (approximately 3.25-fold in each case); dolichyl phosphate levels were not determined in this tissue. In all tissues studied, the activity of the dolichyl phosphate phosphatase enzyme was considerably higher than that of the dolichol kinase enzyme. In liver, there was no evidence to suggest that either enzyme was critical in determining the relative concentrations of dolichol and dolichyl phosphate. Evidence for such a role for the kinase in the kidney was stronger. Treatment of aging mice with meclofenoxate, a drug that is reported to cause dissolution of lipofuscin, failed to prevent accumulation of dolichol and dolichyl phosphate with age. These observations suggest that not all accumulated dolichol is associated with lipofuscin. Meclofenoxate treatment had no consistent effect on the activities of the enzymes studied.

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.

Abstract
The effects of dolichol on high affinity [3H]muscimol binding to synaptic plasma membrane (SPM) and [3H]GABA uptake into synaptosomes from rat brain were analyzed. Membranes were enriched with dolichol, by preincubation, in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a vehicle (40-100 micrograms of dolichol/mg protein + 5% BSA). The rate of dolichol incorporation into the membrane was determined using [1-3H]dolichol C95, and it was in the range of 5-7 nmol/mg protein/h for synaptosomes and SPM, respectively. The uptake of [3H]GABA into synaptosomes enriched with dolichol decreased significantly by about 30%. Dolichol alone added into the incubation medium produced only a negligible effect. Specific binding of [3H]muscimol, which was higher than 90% of total binding, was significantly reduced to SPM enriched with dolichol as compared to controls. The Kd of the high affinity sites was significantly elevated by about 30% in SPM enriched with dolichol (10.8 +/- 0.3 nM vs 7.3 +/- 0.2 nM in control). This difference was more pronounced for SPM isolated from cerebellum (Kd increased by about 50%). The Bmax value was not changed. Dolichol alone did not alter the agonist binding. These results indicate for the first time that the higher level of dolichol in SPM might influence the GABAergic transmission system. An increase in dolichols in membranes may be an important factor in the decline of brain function during aging.

Abstract
Dolichols are isoprenologues which constitute an important component of biological membranes. However, an understanding of the effects of dolichols on the organization and dynamics of biological membranes has not been forthcoming. The experiments reported here are aimed at understanding the effects of dolichols on the physical properties of mouse brain synaptic plasma membranes. The effect of dolichols incorporated into mouse brain synaptic plasma membranes on fluorescent and electron spin resonance probes sensing the hydrophobic core differed from that of probes reporting closer to the surface of membrane bilayers. Dolichols significantly (P less than 0.01) lowered the polarization, limiting anisotropy, and order parameter of diphenylhexatriene in synaptic plasma membranes and liposomes extracted from synaptic plasma membranes, without changing the rotational relaxation time. Similarly, dolichol increased the fluidity reported by 16-doxylstearic acid in synaptic plasma membranes or liposomes extracted from synaptic plasma membranes. In contrast, dolichols exerted no effect on those properties for trans-parinaric acid or 5-doxylstearic acid in synaptic plasma membranes or liposomes derived therefrom. Dolichols can dramatically alter the structure and dynamics of lipid motion in synaptic plasma membranes and these effects are dependent on the location of the probe in the membrane.

Abstract
The effects of levonorgestrel treatment (4 micrograms/day per kg body weight 0.75 for 18 days) on rate-limiting enzymes of hepatic triacylglycerol synthesis, namely glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase and phosphatidic acid phosphatase were investigated in microsomal, mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions of rat liver. Levonorgestrel treatment resulted in a significant reduction (26%) of hepatic microsomal glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase specific activity. Hepatic mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase specific activity was unchanged. Levonorgestrel treatment also significantly reduced (by 20%) the specific activity of hepatic microsomal magnesium-independent phosphatidic acid phosphatase. However, magnesium-dependent phosphatic acid phosphatase specific activities in microsomal and cytosolic fractions were unaffected. Cytosolic magnesium-independent phosphatidic acid phosphatase activity was also unchanged. These studies are consistent with the view that levonorgestrel lowers serum triacylglycerol levels, at least in part, by inhibition of the glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.15) step in hepatic triacylglycerol synthesis.

Abstract
A procedure for the quantitative extraction of both dolichol and dolichyl phosphate (Dol-P) in plant tissue (soybean embryos) into diethyl ether from an alkaline saponification mixture is described. A complete and quantitative separation of total dolichol and total Dol-P is then obtained based on their respective solubilities in diethyl ether and water. After separation dolichol and Dol-P can both be analyzed and quantitated directly by reverse-phase HPLC on C18 columns without additional purification. The two major homologs of dolichol and Dol-P are those with 17 and 18 isoprene units. The total dolichol and total Dol-P contents of dry embryos were 96.3 +/- 0.8 and 5.3 +/- 0.1 micrograms/g, respectively. The post-HPLC recoveries for dolichol and Dol-P were 101 +/- 2 and 84 +/- 3% respectively, using [1-14C]dolichol and Dol-P containing 20 isoprene units as recovery standards. Dol-P estimations could be carried out on material equivalent to as little as 65 mg embryo tissue.

Abstract
The polyisoprenyl phosphate dephosphorylating activity of rat liver has been investigated with regard to substrate specificity, subcellular distribution, and transmembrane orientation. Total liver microsomes were employed as a source of enzymatic activity against a variety of 32P-labeled substrates. Susceptibility to dephosphorylation followed the order solanesyl phosphate greater than alpha-cis-polyprenyl 19-phosphate = alpha-trans-polyprenyl 19-phosphate = dihydrosolanesyl phosphate greater than (S)-dolichyl 19-phosphate = (R)-dolichyl 19-phosphate = (R,S)-dolichyl 11-phosphate. There appeared to be no major effect of chain length from 11 to 20 isoprenes. Data obtained from inhibition studies using solanesyl [32P]phosphate as substrate were consistent with the substrate specificity studies and suggested that a single activity is responsible. With dolichyl [32P]phosphate as substrate, the phosphatase specific activity of the subcellular fractions prepared from rat liver was found to follow the sequence Golgi = smooth endoplasmic reticulum greater than plasma membrane greater than lysosomes = rough endoplasmic reticulum greater than nuclei greater than mitochondria. Transmembrane topography studies, using enzyme latency as a criterion, were consistent with an orientation of the active site facing the cytoplasm.

Abstract
Polyisoprenoid alcohols consisting of 9 or more isoprene units are present in all living cells. They can be fully unsaturated (polyprenols) or alpha-saturated (dolichol). Dolichol forms may have additional saturation at or near the omega-end. Some species contain ony dolichol or only polyprenols while others have nearly equal amounts of both types. Some polyisoprenoid alcohols consist entirely of trans isoprene units but most, including dolichol, contain both trans and cis units. Considerable advances in lipid methodology have occurred since the first review of polyisoprenoid alcohols by Hemming in 1974. For example, direct analysis of both dolichol and Dol-P by HPLC has replaced earlier methods which were often both insensitive and inaccurate. The availability of radiolabeled dolichol and polyprenols has facilitated studies concerning the metabolism and distribution of these compounds. Those studies suggest that only a small portion of the dolichol present in cells is likely to be involved in glycosylation. Polyisoprenoid alcohols are usually present at a family of homologues where each differs in size by one isoprene unit. Little or no size related specificity has been observed for any reaction involving dolichol or polyisoprenol intermediates. The overall length of polyisoprenoid alcohols may, however, affect the manner in which these compounds influence the physical and biochemical properties of membranes. Studies on the biosynthetic pathway leading from cis, trans Pol-PP by phosphatase action. The formation of the dolichol backbone from a polyprenol requires the action of an additional enzyme, an alpha-saturase. This enzyme does not always act at the level of a single common substrate, since Pol-PP, Pol-P, and polyprenol all appear to be utilized as substrates. The major product of the de novo pathway differs among different species. Dol-P would appear to be the most energy efficient end-product since it can participate directly in glycoprotein formation. Most often, however, Dol-P is not the major product of metabolic labeling experiments. In some cases, dolichol is formed so that rephosphorylation is required to provide Dol-P for participation in glycoprotein formation. The kinase responsible for this phosphorylation appears to bypass the considerable stores of dolichol present in tissues (i.e. sea urchin eggs) in favor of dolichol derived directly from de novo synthesis. Although HMGR is a major regulatory component of the pathway leading to polyisoprenoid alcohols and cholesterol, control is most often not co-ordinated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Estrogen-induced chick oviduct differentiation is accompanied by an increased capacity for protein glycosylation. A portion of this increase has been attributed to increased levels of dolichyl phosphate (Dol-P). Hormone withdrawal leads to an apparent decrease in Dol-P. Dol-P metabolism in the oviduct has been studied, and one of the enzymes having a direct effect on Dol-P, Dol-P phosphatase is herein described. Dol-P phosphatase has a pH optimum of 6.0, does not require a metal ion, and is inhibited by Mn2+ at concentrations greater than 5 mM. Inhibitor studies indicate that Dol-P hydrolysis is inhibited by polyprenyl phosphates having both saturated and unsaturated alpha-isoprene residues, but not by the corresponding alcohols. The enzyme is also inhibited by phosphatidic acid unless 2 mM Mn2+ is included in the incubations. Under these conditions Dol-P hydrolysis is only slightly inhibited (less than 10%), but phosphatidate inhibition is totally eliminated. Oviduct membranes also possess phosphatidate phosphatase, but this enzyme is distinct from Dol-P phosphatase based on thermolability, metal ion sensitivity, and sulfhydryl reagent sensitivity. Studies of enzyme activity in response to estrogen treatment reveal that both Dol-P phosphatase and phosphatidate phosphatase have maximal specific activity early in the differentiation process (peaking after 3 days of treatment), and low specific activity in fully differentiated oviducts, including laying hen oviduct. Hormone withdrawal elicits a small increase in specific activity of both phosphatases. The hormone effects suggest that Dol-P phosphatase may be a biosynthetic enzyme.

Abstract
The thermotropic phase transition of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles reconstituted with dolichol or dolichyl phosphate was investigated as a function of the lipid-to-polyisoprenoid ratio by means of differential scanning calorimetry and fluorescence depolarization of the embedded probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene. At the concentrations studied, dolichol and dolichyl phosphate lowered and broadened the transition temperature of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine bilayers. Dolichol was found to increase the motional freedom of the bilayer both below and above the transition temperature as determined by fluorescence depolarization. In contrast, low concentrations of dolichyl phosphate decreased the bilayer motional freedom below the transition temperature while high concentrations increased the motional freedom. Above the transition temperature, dolichyl phosphate decreased bilayer 'fluidity' at all concentrations. The data suggest that these polyisoprenoids perturb the bilayer lattice, with the neutral species dolichol increasing membrane 'fluidity', while dolichyl phosphate acts to 'stiffen' the membrane.

Abstract
A system was developed for testing the effect of phospholipids on dolichyl phosphate phosphatase, a membrane-associated enzyme. This enzyme was solubilized, delipidated, stabilized and concentrated in such a way that minimal quantities of Triton X-100 were carried by enzyme extracts to the incubation mixture. Its substrate, dolichyl phosphate, could be kept in aqueous medium as suspended particles without addition of detergent. When dolichyl phosphate phosphatase was assayed using the substrate in this detergent-free form, values for Km, pH optimum and temperature optimum were different from those obtained with detergent-solubilized substrate. This assay of dolichyl phosphate phosphatase almost free of detergent allowed testing of the effect of specific phospholipids on enzyme activity with minimal interference produced by endogenous phospholipids or exogenous detergent. Sphingomyelin, phosphatidylethanolamine or phosphatidylcholine (zwitterionic phospholipids) acted as activators, whereas phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylinositol, negatively-charged phospholipids, were inhibitors of dolichyl phosphate phosphatase.

Abstract
The subcellular locations of several enzymes involved in dolichyl monophosphate (Dol-P) metabolism in brain have been investigated. Dolichol kinase is highly enriched in a heavy microsomal fraction from calf brain, while 71% of the Dol-P phosphatase activity was recovered with the light microsomes. Lower amounts of the phosphatase activity were also found in the heavy microsomal, mitochondrial-lysosomal, and synaptic plasma membrane fractions. Since the light microsomal fraction also contained substantial acetylcholinesterase activity, an axon plasma membrane marker, an axolemma-enriched fraction, was prepared from rat brain by a second procedure. A comparison with microsomal and mitochondrial-lysosomal fractions revealed that the axolemma-enriched fraction contained the highest specific activity of Dol-P phosphatase, indicating that the enzyme was present in the axon plasma membrane. The tunicamycin-sensitive UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:Dol-P N- acetylglucosaminylphosphotransferase , glucosyl- phosphoryldolichol (Glc-P-Dol) synthase, Glc-P-Dol:oligosaccharide glucosyltransferase, and the oligosaccharyltransferase were all found predominantly in the heavy microsomes. These results indicate that the enzymes responsible for the initiation and termination of biosynthesis, as well as the transfer of dolichol-linked oligosaccharides, reside in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of central nervous tissue. Evidence that at least some Dol-P molecules formed by dolichol kinase are accessible to multiple glycosyltransferases in the rough ER of brain is also presented.

Abstract
Human ceroid lipofuscinosis (CL) is an inherited disease marked by cerebromacular degeneration and early death. We have utilized the canine model to investigate the possible role of dolichol and dolichyl phosphate in the developmental pathology of CL. We found that while brain levels of dolichol increase with age in both affected and unaffected dogs, the amount in the diseased animal was similar to that in controls. Brain levels of dolichyl phosphate ranged from 20 to 35 micrograms/g in control dogs at all ages examined, but increased substantially during development in the affected dogs, a value of 113 +/- 24 micrograms/g (mean +/- SD) being obtained in the end-stage animals. In addition to the results obtained in the canine model, dolichyl phosphate levels in human brain tissues from a 5-year-old with late infantile CL and from a 19-year-old with juvenile CL were found to be 153 and 382 micrograms/g, respectively, compared with a control that assayed 26 micrograms/g. The preliminary findings with human tissues provide further evidence for an association of elevated brain dolichyl phosphate levels with CL. Whether the increase is primary or secondary remains to be determined.

Abstract
Two procedures for quantitative determination of dolichol were studied and these were applied to analyze tissue and subcellular distribution. In the first procedure the dolichols were oxidized with Cr2O3 and reduced with NaB3H4. The radioactivity in the individual dolichols was measured using reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography. In the second procedure, dolichols were analyzed by high-pressure liquid chromatography. For determination of dolichyl phosphates the lipid extract was subjected to acid and alkaline hydrolysis, and after hydrolysis with acid phosphatase the distribution was determined by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Recovery was monitored by the addition of dolichol D15 and D23 phosphate to the homogenate. Rat spleen had the highest dolichol content (114 micrograms/g) followed by lower content in rat liver and brain. The distribution pattern was similar in all organs, with 18 and 19 isoprene residues as dominating components. Human organs contain considerably higher concentrations of dolichol, with the 19 and 20 isoprene residues as the main components. In rat liver, outer mitochondrial and Golgi membranes, lysosomes and plasma membranes contain considerable amounts of dolichol. A drastic increase in dolichol content was observed in rat liver hyperplastic nodules while human liver cirrhosis and hepatocarcinoma showed a marked decrease in dolichol. In the latter case, the distribution pattern was also changed. Of the total amount of dolichol present in the tissues, 2% was phosphorylated in human liver, 10% in human testis and 18% in rat liver. In rat liver mitochondria and in microsomes 4 and 31%, respectively, of the polyprenols were in activated form. The results demonstrated that dolichyl phosphate and dolichol concentrations were regulated by different mechanisms and that the two forms possessed an independent distribution.

Abstract
One of the most striking morphogenetic events during embryonic development is gastrulation, a process that leads to formation of the primitive gut. Using sea urchin embryos, we have studied the synthesis and function of glycoproteins during gastrulation. These studies have revealed that at least three processes are induced prior to gastrulation: de novo synthesis of dolichol; phosphorylation of dolichol by dolichol kinase, which may catalyze the final step in the de novo pathway; and initiation of the synthesis of N-linked glycoproteins. Whether or not activation of the glycosylation process results merely because of the production of dolichyl monophosphate or because, in addition, proteins containing glycosylatable-Asn-X-Ser/Thr-sequences are first translated just prior to gastrulation, is currently being investigated.

Abstract
Crude membrane fractions of Dictyostelium discoideum show the capacity to synthesize (1--3H)dolicholphosphate from (1--3H)dolichol. Formation of dolicholphosphate increased continuously over the first 15 min. The reaction rate was nearly linear with respect to the dolichol content up to 150 microM. The phosphate donor for the reaction is CTP. The optimum concentration of CTP is about 0,75 mM. The reaction is dependent on divalent metal ions, magnesium being more effective than calcium or manganese. The activity of the polyisoprenol kinase depends on the course of the early development. Maximum enzyme activities are present 4--6 h after the induction of the differentiation.

Abstract
When purified subcellular fractions were prepared from rat liver and assayed for dolichol kinase activity using pig liver dolichol as a substrate, the microsomes were found to contain the highest specific activity and greater than 75% of the total activity. With regard to substrate specificity, the microsomal enzyme showed a marked preference for saturation of the alpha-isoprene: dolichol-16 and -19 were 2.5-fold more active than the corresponding polyprenols. For a given class of prenol, the 16 and 19 isoprenologs exhibited similar activity, whereas the 11 isoprenolog appeared less active. The enzyme was twice as active against the naturally occurring polyprenol-16 (alpha-cis-isoprene) compared to synthetic alpha-trans-polyprenol-16. Taken together, the data indicate that the alpha-isoprene specificity follows the order: saturated greater than cis greater than trans. In addition, all-trans-2,3-dihydrosolanesol was not a substrate, suggesting that at least one cis isoprene residue is required.

Abstract
Dolichyl-phosphate phosphatase and dolichyl-diphosphate phosphatase activities of a liver-cell microsomal preparation were solubilized by treatment with Triton X-100. The 100,000 X g supernatant was then passed through a column of Sepharose-4B--concanavalin A. Both enzyme activities were found in the percolate. This treatment eliminated inhibition by ATP and glucose 6-phosphate in both phosphatase activities. In each case the activities were inhibited by higher concentrations of enzyme preparation due to the presence of phospholipids. The inhibitory effects of either phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine were due to competition for detergent. On the other hand, the effect produced by phosphatidic acid appeared to be different, since it did not change the optimal concentration of Triton X-100 for the two enzymes. Dolichyl-phosphate phosphatase was strongly inhibited by both Pi and PPi, whereas dolichyl-diphosphate phosphatase was only slightly inhibited by Pi and not at all by PPi. Dolichyl-diphosphate phosphatase was more inhibited by divalent cations than dolichyl-phosphate phosphatase. The apparent Km of dolichyl-phosphate phosphatase for dolichyl phosphate was 0.15 mM. Dolichol also inhibited dolichyl-phosphate phosphatase, but it produced a stronger inhibition on dolichyl-diphosphate phosphatase. The inhibitory effect of dolichol was not entirely due to detergent competition.
