Lipophosphoglycan (LPG) is the major surface glycoconjugate ofLeishmania donovanipromastigotes and is composed of a capped polymer of repeating PO4-6Gal(β1,4)Manα1 disaccharide units linked via a phosphosaccharide core to alyso-1-O-alkylphosphatidylinositol anchor. An exogenous acceptor composed of the glycolipid anchor portion of LPG was shown to stimulate the enzymatic synthesis of the repeating phosphorylated disaccharide units of LPG in a cell-free system. Using the exogenous acceptor, GDP-[3H]Man, [β-32P]GDP-Man, and unlabeled UDP-Gal as substrates, membrane preparations from an LPG-defective mutant ofL. donovanithat lacks endogenous acceptors catalyzed the incorporation of the doubly labeled mannosylphosphate unit into a product that exhibited the chemical and Chromatographic characteristics of LPG. Analysis of fragments generated by mild acid hydrolysis of the radiolabeled product indicated that [3H]mannose-1-[32P]PO4had been transferred from the dual-labeled sugar nucleotide. These results are consistent with the proposal that the repeating units of theL. donovaniLPG are synthesized by the alternating transfer of mannose 1-phosphate and galactose from their respective nucleotide donors.
