Elbein1 Department of Biochemistry, The University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas 78284-7760, and Western Regional Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, US Department of Agriculture, Berkeley, California 94710 Received August 10, 1988; Revised Manuscript Received October 21, 1988 abstract: Australine [(1/?, 2/?, 3/?, 75', 7aJ?)-3-(hydroxymethyl)-1, 2, 7-trihydroxypyrrolizidine] is a polyhydroxy lated pyrrolizidine alkaloid that was isolated from the seeds of the Australian tree Castanospermum australe and characterized by NMR and X-ray diffraction analysis [Molyneux et al.(1988) J. Nat. Prod.(in press)]. Since swainsonine and catanospermine are polyhydroxylated indolizidine alkaloids that inhibit specific glycosidases, we tested australine against a variety of exoglycosidases to determine whether it would inhibit any of these enzymes. This alkaloid proved to be a good inhibitor of the-glucosidase amyloglucosidase (50% inhibition at 5.8 µ), but it did not inhibit 0-glucosidase, a-or/3-mannosidase, or a-or/3-galactosidase. The inhibition of amyloglucosidase was of a competitive nature. Australine also inhibited the glycoprotein processing enzyme glucosidase I, but had only slight activity toward glucosidase II. When incubated with cultured cells, thisalkaloid inhibited glycoprotein processing at the glucosidase I step and caused the accumulation of glycoproteins with Glc3Man7_9 (GlcNAc) 2-oligosaccharides.^ Lmong the common types of glycoproteins that are found in eukaryotic organisms, both as cell-associated proteins and as secreted proteins, are those having N-linked or aspara-gine-linked oligosaccharides (Kornfeld & Kornfeld, 1976; Wagh & Bahl, 1981). The biosynthesis of the oligosaccharide portion of these molecules involves a complex sequence of events beginning with the synthesis of the Glc3Man9-(GlcNAc) 2-pyrophosphoryldolichol intermediate and the transfer of the carbohydrate portion of this intermediate to various asparagine residues on the newly synthesized poly-peptide (Elbein, 1979; Struck & Lennarz, 1980; Kornfeld & Kornfeld, 1985). Following the transfer of this oligosaccharide to the protein, the newly formed glycoprotein undergoes a number of modification or “processing” reactions which begin in the endoplasmic reticulum and continue as the glycoprotein is transported through the Golgi to its final destination (Turco & Robbins, 1976; Grinna & Robbins, 1979; Hubbard & Ivatt,
