m[messenger]RNA from rat mammary glands 13-15 days post partum was transplated in a wheat germ cell-free system either in the absence or in the presence of ribosome-denuded membranes prepared from isolated rough microsomes of dog pancreas. Newly synthesized .alpha.-lactalbumin was identified by immunoprecipitation with a monospecific rabbit antiserum against rat .alpha.-lactalbumin and was characterized by partial amino-terminal sequence determination and by lectin affinity chromatography. In the absence of membranes a presumably unglycosylated form of .alpha.-lactalbumin was synthesized that bound neither to concanavalin A-Sepharose nor to Ricinus communis lectin-agarose and that contained an amino-terminal signal peptide region comprising 19 amino acid residues. In the presence of membranes a processed form was synthesized that lacked the signal peptide portion and that had an amino-terminal sequence identical to that of mature .alpha.-lactalbumin. This processed form was found to be segregated, presumably within the microsomal vesicles, because it was resistant to post-translational proteolysis. It was also found to be glycosylated, and because it bound to concanavalin A-Sepharose, from which it could be eluted specifically by .alpha.-methyl mannoside, but not R. communis lectin-agarose, it was presumably core-glycosylated. Processing, segregation and core glycosylation were observed to proceed only when membranes were present during translation.
