Profiles of dolichol isotopomer signals obtained from in vivo
labeling with glucose. A, overlaid HPLC/ESI-MS spectra of
Dol-n (-14 up to -19) obtained from [1-13C]glucose.
B, spectra acquired after all three feeding experiments:
red, [1-13C]glucose; blue,
[1,6-13C2]glucose, and green,
[U-13C6]glucose. In all samples, the group of low mass
signals represents residual population of native dolichols remaining from root
inoculum.
