Elbein abstract: The nucleoside antibiotics tunicamycin and streptovirudin were separated by high-performance liquid chromatography into a series of 256-nm-absorbing peaks. Most of the streptovirudin peaks eluted from a Biosil ODS column earlier than those of tunicamycin, indicating that they were less hydrophobic. With the exception of the first peak, 17 other tunicamycin peaks were potent inhibitorsof the formation of dolichylpyrophosphoryl-A-acetylglucosamine with 50% inhibition of the solubilized GlcNAc-1-P transferase requiring about 10 ng of antibiotic per mL. These fractionsTunicamycin has been widely used in cell physiology, cell biology, and biochemistry as a tool to probe the role of car-bohydrates in glycoprotein functions. Tunicamycin (Takatuski et al., 1971) and streptovirudin (Eckardt et al., 1975) are both streptomycete antibiotics that havebeen shown to be potent inhibitors of glycosylation in those proteins that have a GlcNAc-asparagine-linked oligosaccharide. Thus, both an-tibiotics block the formation of dolichylpyrophosphoryl-GlcNac by specifically inhibiting the first enzyme in the dolichol pathway, the UDP-GlcNAc-dolichyl-P: GlcNAc-1-P transf-erase (Tkacz & Lampen, 1975; Struck & Lennarz, 1977; Waechter & Harford, 1977; Ericson et al., 1977; Lehle & Tanner, 1976; Heifetz et al., 1979). These antibiotics also inhibit the transfer of glucose from UDP-glucoseto dolic-
