Abstract

Mannosidases play a key role in the processing of glycoproteins and thus are of considerable pharmaceutical interest and indeed have emerged as targets for the development of anti-cancer therapies. Access to useful quantities of the mammalian enzymes has not yet been achieved; therefore, jack bean mannosidase, a readily available enzyme, has become the model system. However, the relevance of this enzyme has not been demonstrated, nor is anything known about the active site structure of this, or any other, mannosidase. Hydrolysis by this enzyme occurs with net retention of sugar anomeric configuration; thus, a double displacement mechanism involving a mannosyl-enzyme intermediate is presumably involved. Two new mechanism-based inhibitors, 5-fluoro-alpha-D-mannosyl fluoride and 5-fluoro-beta-L-gulosyl fluoride, which function by the steady state trapping of such an intermediate, have been synthesized and tested. Both show high affinity for jack bean alpha-mannosidase (Ki' = 71 and 86 microM, respectively), and the latter has been used to label the active site nucleophile. The labeled peptide present in a peptic digest of this trapped glycosyl-enzyme intermediate was identified by neutral loss scans on an electrospray ionization t...Continue Reading
