Mannostatin A is a metabolite produced by the microorganism Streptoverticillium verticillus and reported to be a potent competitive inhibitor of rat epididymal-mannosidase. When tested against a number of other arylglycosidases, mannostatin A was inactive toward a-and/3-glucosidase and galactosidase as well as^-mannosidase, but it was a potent inhibitor of jack bean, mung bean, and rat liver lysosomal-mannosidases, with estimated IC50’s of 70 nM, 450 nM, and 160 nM, respectively. The type of inhibition was competitive in nature. This compound also proved to be an effective competitive inhibitor of the glycoprotein-processing enzyme mannosidase II (IC50 of about 10-15 nM with p-nitrophenyl aD-manno-pyranoside as substrate, and about 90 nM with [3H] mannose-labeled GlcNAc-Man5GlcNAc as substrate). However, it was virtually inactive toward mannosidase I. The N-acetylated derivative of mannostatin A had no inhibitory activity. In cell culture studies, mannostatin A also proved to be a potent inhibitor of glycoprotein processing. Thus, in influenza virus infected Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, mannostatin A blocked the normal formationof complex types of oligosaccharides on the viral glycoproteins and caused the accumulation of hybrid types of oligosaccharides. This observation is in keeping with other data which indicate that the site of action of mannostatin A is mannosidase II. Thus, mannostatin A represents the first nonalkaloidal processing inhibitor and adds to the growing listof chemical structures that can have important biological activity.(jlycoproteins are a most diverse group of biologicalpoly-mers that are ubiquitous constituents of nearly all forms of life. They occur in cells, in both soluble and membrane-bound form, as well as in the intracellular matrix and extracellular fluids. Included in this class of compounds are enzymes, immunoglobulins, hormones, transport proteins, toxins, lectins, and structural proteins, to name a few (Wagh & Bahl, 1981). Over the years, it has becomeapparent that the carbohydrate portions of glycoproteins do not perform a single function but act in a variety of ways, probably depending on the glycoprotein in which they occur(Olden et al., 1982). In some cases, the sugar side chain may be directly involved in the biological activity of the glycoprotein (Dahms et al., 1989), whereas in other cases, it may perform any of a number of less obvious ancillary functions (Rademacher et al., 1988). Among the common types of glycoproteins that are found in nature are those having N-linked or asparagine-linked oligosaccharides (Kornfeld & Kornfeld, 1985). The biosynthesis of the oligosaccharide portion of these N-linked glycoproteins involves a complex sequence of events that can be divided into three general steps:(1) synthesis of the common intermediate, Glc3Mang (GlcNAc) 2-pyrophosphoryl-dolichol,(2) transfer of the oligosaccharide portion of this common precursor to spe-cific asparagine residues on the protein, and (3) trimming of the carbohydrate unit and addition of peripheral sugars and other constituents to give a variety of different oligosaccharide side chains (Hubbard & Ivatt, 1981). Steps 1 and 2 appear
