Steven Dower, 8 Halina Miller-Podraza, and Peter H. Fishman abstract: A new method was developed to follow the translocation of gangliosides from their site of synthesis within the cell to the plasma membrane. Cultured mouse neuro-blastoma N18 and rat glioma C6 cells were labeled for in-creasing times with D-[l-3H] galactose and then subjected to mild oxidation with NaI04. Underthe conditions chosen, oxidation was essentially restricted to cell-surface sialic acid residues, which were converted to derivatives with an aldehyde function. The labeled gangliosides were isolated from thecells and reacted with dinitrophenylhydrazine to form dinitrophenyl (DNP) derivatives of the oxidized gangliosides. The DNP-gangliosides then were separated from their unmodified counterparts by thin-layer chromatography. Thus, the rate of labeling of surface gangliosides was distinguished from the rate of labeling of total gangliosides. Our results indicated that the transfer of gangliosides from thesite of synthesis to the cell surface required approximately 20 min and that newly synthesized gangliosides appeared to be transported to the plasma membrane at a constant rate. No essential differences were found in the rates of translocation of different ganglioside species by N18 cells or between gangliosides of N18 and C6 cells. e biosynthetic pathways of many gangliosides have been described (Fishman & Brady, 1976). It is generally accepted that the carbohydrate chains of gangliosides are formed by membrane-bound multienzyme complexes which catalyze the stepwise addition of activated monosaccharides to glycolipid acceptors (Roseman, 1970; Fishman, 1974; Caputto et al., 1976). It is also believed that glycosylation of gangliosides takes place in the Golgi apparatus and/or in the endoplasmic reticulum of cells (Keenan et al., 1974; Fleischer, 1977; Pacuszka et al., 1978; Eppler et al., 1980) from where the newly synthesized compounds move to their final destination, the plasma membrane. Very little is known at present about the
