Phosphorylation of the D-mannose residues of lysosomal-enzymes is essential for the uptake and intracellular transport of these enzymes to lysosomes.The GlcNAc-P-transferase which is involved in the phosphorylation reaction seems to recognize a signal, probably a protein conformation, common to many lysosomal enzymes.To evaluate the role of the carbohydrate portion of the enzyme in these phosphorylation reactions, the acceptor specificity of GlcNAc-P-transferase from rat-liver microsomes and fibroblasts was examined with the aid of synthetic D-mannosyl disaccharides and derivatives that are closely related to the high-mannose type of oligosaccharides.Four methyl D-mannobiosides were synthesized, and their structures were established by 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy.Of all the D-mannosyl saccharides tested, α-D-Man-(1->2)-α-D-Man-(1->OMe) was found to be the best acceptor, thereby suggesting that oligosaccharide structure may also have a role to play in recognition by this enzyme.

The four isomer of methyl O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-β-D-galactopyranoside were prepared by condensation of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-galactopyranosyl bromide with appropriate, partially O-substitued derivatives of methyl β-D-galactopyranoside.Reaction of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-1,2-O-(1-ethoxyethylidene)-α-D-galactopyranose with the same acceptors, in the presence of mercuric bromide, led to the formation of α and β linkages.Thus, it was possible to assign 13C-n.m.r. resonances of α and β anomers of methyl O-D-galactopyranosyl-β-D-galactopyranosides.In terms of application of these shift values and those of related D-galactobioses to the structual analysis of D-galactopyranans by shift comparisons, some generalizations can be made.For β-D-galactopyranans, the resonances glycosyloxylated carbon atoms of methyl O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-β-D-galactopyranosides are sensitive to structure and appear to have typical values, whereas limited variation was observed with shift of C-1' signals.On the other hand, for assigning structures to D-galactopyranans containing α linkages, the C-1' shifts (at higher field) of methyl O-α-D-galactopyranosyl-β-D-galactopyranosidesc are sensitive to linkage position, whereas those of glycosyloxylated carbon atoms vary only a little.
