Uptake of GDP-[3H]Fuc into Golgi vesicles. A,
GDP-[3H]Fuc (1 μm, Sp. Act. 1 μCi/nmol)
was incubated with Golgi vesicles (100 μg of protein) in a final
volume of 0.1 mL for the times indicated. The reaction was terminated
by 10-fold dilution of the reaction and filtering the incubation medium
through 0.7-μm glass fiber filters. The filters were washed with cold
buffer, dried, and the radioactivity associated with them estimated in
a liquid scintillation counter. B, Effect of temperature and
permeabilizing agents on the uptake of GDP-[3H]Fuc into
Golgi vesicles was determined. The assay was for 5 min under the same
conditions described in A.
