Abstract
Dysregulation of glycosylation pathways has been well documented in several types of cancer, where it often participates in cancer development and progression, especially cancer metastasis. Hence, inhibition of glycosidases such as mannosidases can disrupt the biosynthesis of glycans on cell surface glycoproteins and modify their role in carcinogenesis and metastasis. Several reviews have delineated the role of N-glycosylation in cancer, but the data regarding effective inhibitors remains sparse. Golgi α-mannosidase has been an attractive therapeutic target for preventing the formation of ß1,6-branched complex type N-glycans. However, due to its high structural similarity to the broadly specific lysosomal α-mannosidase, undesired co-inhibition occurs and this leads to serious side effects that complicates its potential role as a therapeutic agent. Even though extensive efforts have been geared towards the discovery of effective inhibitors, no breakthrough has been achieved thus far which could allow for their use in clinical settings. Improving the specificity of current inhibitors towards Golgi α-mannosidase is requisite in progressing this class of compounds in cancer chemotherapy. In this review, we highlight a few potent and selective inhibitors discovered up to the present to guide researchers for rational design of further effective inhibitors to overcome the issue of specificity.

Abstract
Inhibition of the biosynthesis of complex N-glycans in the Golgi apparatus influences progress of tumor growth and metastasis. Golgi α-mannosidase II (GMII) has become a therapeutic target for drugs with anticancer activities. One critical task for successful application of GMII drugs in medical treatments is to decrease their unwanted co-inhibition of lysosomal α-mannosidase (LMan), a weakness of all known potent GMII inhibitors. A series of novel N-substituted polyhydroxypyrrolidines was synthesized and tested with modeled GH38 α-mannosidases from Drosophila melanogaster (GMIIb and LManII). The most potent structures inhibited GMIIb (Ki =50-76 μm, as determined by enzyme assays) with a significant selectivity index of IC50 (LManII)/IC50 (GMIIb) >100. These compounds also showed inhibitory activities in in vitro assays with cancer cell lines (leukemia, IC50 =92-200 μm) and low cytotoxic activities in normal fibroblast cell lines (IC50 >200 μm). In addition, they did not show any significant inhibitory activity toward GH47 Aspergillus saitoiα1,2-mannosidase. An appropriate stereo configuration of hydroxymethyl and benzyl functional groups on the pyrrolidine ring of the inhibitor may lead to an inhibitor with the required selectivity for the active site of a target α-mannosidase.

Abstract
Lysosomal storage diseases are hereditary disorders caused by mutations on genes encoding for one of the more than fifty lysosomal enzymes involved in the highly ordered degradation cascades of glycans, glycoconjugates, and other complex biomolecules in the lysosome. Several of these metabolic disorders are associated with the absence or the lack of activity of carbohydrate-processing enzymes in this cell compartment. In a recently introduced therapy concept, for susceptible mutants, small substrate-related molecules (so-called pharmacological chaperones), such as reversible inhibitors of these enzymes, may serve as templates for the correct folding and transport of the respective protein mutant, thus improving its concentration and, consequently, its enzymatic activity in the lysosome. Carbohydrate-processing enzymes in the lysosome, related lysosomal diseases, and the scope and limitations of reported reversible inhibitors as pharmacological chaperones are discussed with a view to possibly extending and improving research efforts in this area of orphan diseases.

Abstract
As newly synthesized glycoproteins move through the secretory pathway, the asparagine-linked glycan (N-glycan) undergoes extensive modifications involving the sequential removal and addition of sugar residues. These modifications are critical for the proper assembly, quality control and transport of glycoproteins during biosynthesis. The importance of N-glycosylation is illustrated by a growing list of diseases that result from defects in the biosynthesis and processing of N-linked glycans. The major rhodopsin in Drosophila melanogaster photoreceptors, Rh1, is highly unique among glycoproteins, as the N-glycan appears to be completely removed during Rh1 biosynthesis and maturation. However, much of the deglycosylation pathway for Rh1 remains unknown. To elucidate the key steps in Rh1 deglycosylation in vivo, we characterized mutant alleles of four Drosophila glycosyl hydrolases, namely α-mannosidase-II (α-Man-II), α-mannosidase-IIb (α-Man-IIb), a β-N-acetylglucosaminidase called fused lobes (Fdl), and hexosaminidase 1 (Hexo1). We have demonstrated that these four enzymes play essential and unique roles in a highly coordinated pathway for oligosaccharide trimming during Rh1 biosynthesis. Our results reveal that α-Man-II and α-Man-IIb are not isozymes like their mammalian counterparts, but rather function at distinct stages in Rh1 maturation. Also of significance, our results indicate that Hexo1 has a biosynthetic role in N-glycan processing during Rh1 maturation. This is unexpected given that in humans, the hexosaminidases are typically lysosomal enzymes involved in N-glycan catabolism with no known roles in protein biosynthesis. Here, we present a genetic dissection of glycoprotein processing in Drosophila and unveil key steps in N-glycan trimming during Rh1 biosynthesis. Taken together, our results provide fundamental advances towards understanding the complex and highly regulated pathway of N-glycosylation in vivo and reveal novel insights into the functions of glycosyl hydrolases in the secretory pathway.

Abstract
Jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) seeds contain several biologically important proteins among which α-mannosidase (EC 3.2.1.24) has been purified, its biochemical properties studied and widely used in glycan analysis. In the present study, we have used the purified enzyme and derived its amino acid sequence covering both the known subunits (molecular mass of ∼66,000 and ∼44,000 Da) hitherto not known in its entirety. Peptide de novo sequencing and structural elucidation of N-glycopeptides obtained either directly from proteolytic digestion or after zwitterionic hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography solid phase extraction-based separation were performed by use of nanoelectrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry and low-energy collision-induced dissociation experiments. De novo sequencing provided new insights into the disulfide linkage organization, intersection of subunits and complete N-glycan structures along with site specificities. The primary sequence suggests that the enzyme belongs to glycosyl hydrolase family 38 and the N-glycan sequence analysis revealed high-mannose oligosaccharides, which were found to be heterogeneous with varying number of hexoses viz, Man8-9GlcNAc2 and Glc1Man9GlcNAc2 in an evolutionarily conserved N-glycosylation site. This site with two proximal cysteines is present in all the acidic α-mannosidases reported so far in eukaryotes. Further, a truncated paucimannose type was identified to be lacking terminal two mannose, Man1(Xyl)GlcNAc2 (Fuc).

Abstract
α-Mannosidases, important enzymes in the N-glycan processing and degradation in Eukaryotes, are frequently found in the genome of Bacteria and Archaea in which their function is still largely unknown. The α-mannosidase from the hyperthermophilic Crenarchaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus has been identified and purified from cellular extracts and its gene has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The gene, belonging to retaining GH38 mannosidases of the carbohydrate active enzyme classification, is abundantly expressed in this Archaeon. The purified α-mannosidase activity depends on a single Zn(2+) ion per subunit is inhibited by swainsonine with an IC(50) of 0.2 mM. The molecular characterization of the native and recombinant enzyme, named Ssα-man, showed that it is highly specific for α-mannosides and α(1,2), α(1,3), and α(1,6)-D-mannobioses. In addition, the enzyme is able to demannosylate Man(3)GlcNAc(2) and Man(7)GlcNAc(2) oligosaccharides commonly found in N-glycosylated proteins. More interestingly, Ssα-man removes mannose residues from the glycosidic moiety of the bovine pancreatic ribonuclease B, suggesting that it could process mannosylated proteins also in vivo. This is the first evidence that archaeal glycosidases are involved in the direct modification of glycoproteins.

Abstract
Golgi alpha-mannosidase II (GMII), a zinc-dependent glycosyl hydrolase, is a promising target for drug development in anti-tumor therapies. Using X-ray crystallography, we have determined the structure of Drosophila melanogaster GMII (dGMII) complexed with three different inhibitors exhibiting IC50's ranging from 80 to 1000 microM. These structures, along with those of seven other available dGMII/inhibitor complexes, were then used as a basis for the evaluation of seven docking programs (GOLD, Glide, FlexX, AutoDock, eHiTS, LigandFit, and FITTED). We found that small inhibitors could be accurately docked by most of the software, while docking of larger compounds (i.e., those with extended aromatic cycles or long aliphatic chains) was more problematic. Overall, Glide provided the best docking results, with the most accurately predicted binding around the active site zinc atom. Further evaluation of Glide's performance revealed its ability to extract active compounds from a benchmark library of decoys.

Abstract
New substituted pyrrolidine-3,4-diol derivatives were prepared from d-(-)- and l-(+)-phenyl glycinol. The influence of the configuration and the substitution of the lateral side chain of these derivatives on the inhibition of 25 commercial glycosidases were determined. (2R,3R,4S)-2-({[(1R)-2-Hydroxy-1-phenylethyl]amino}methyl)pyrrolidine-3,4-diol ((+)-7a) was a potent and selective inhibitor of jack bean alpha-mannosidase (K(i) = 135 nM). However, when evaluated on human tumor cells, 7a, and the reference compound swainsonine, did not efficiently inhibit the growth of glioblastoma cells. Further derivatization of the hydroxyl group with lipophilic groups to increase bioavailability improved their growth inhibitory properties for human glioblastoma and melanoma cells. In particular, the 4-bromobenzoyl derivative 26 demonstrated high efficacy for human tumor cells whereas primary human fibroblasts were less sensitive to 26. Therefore, functionalized pyrrolidines have the potential to inhibit the growth of tumor cells and display selectivity for tumor cells when compared to normal cells.

Abstract
The family 38 golgi alpha-mannosidase II, thought to cleave mannosidic bonds through a double displacement mechanism involving a reaction intermediate, is a clinically important enzyme involved in glycoprotein processing. The structure of three different covalent glycosyl-enzyme intermediates have been determined to 1.2-A resolution for the Golgi alpha-mannosidase II from Drosophila melanogaster by use of fluorinated sugar analogues, both with the wild-type enzyme and a mutant enzyme in which the acid/base catalyst has been removed. All these structures reveal sugar intermediates bound in a distorted 1S5 skew boat conformation. The similarity of this conformation with that of the substrate in the recently determined structure of the Michaelis complex of a beta-mannanase (Ducros, V. M. A., Zechel, D. L., Murshudov, G. N., Gilbert, H. J., Szabo, L., Stoll, D., Withers, S. G., and Davies, G. J. (2002) Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 41, 2824-2827) suggests that these disparate enzymes have recruited common stereoelectronic features in evolving their catalytic mechanisms.

Abstract
A putative cytosolic alpha-mannosidase gene from a hyperthermophilic marine bacterium Thermotoga maritima was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified recombinant enzyme appeared to be a homodimer of a 110-kDa subunit. The enzyme showed metal-dependent ability to hydrolyze p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-mannopyranoside. In the absence of a metal, the enzyme was inactive. Cobalt and cadmium supported high activity (60 U/mg at 70 degrees C), while the activity with zinc and chromium was poor. Cobalt (0.8 mol) bound to 1 mol monomer with a K(d) of 70 microM. The optimum pH and temperature were 6.0 and 80 degrees C, respectively. The activity was inhibited by swainsonine, but not by 1-deoxymannojirimycin, which is in agreement with the features of cytosolic alpha-mannosidase.

Lysosomal alpha-mannosidase (LAM: EC 3.2.1.24) belongs to the sequence-based glycoside hydrolase family 38 (GH38). Two other mammalian GH38 members, Golgi alpha-mannosidase II (GIIAM) and cytosolic alpha-mannosidase, are expressed in all tissues. In humans, cattle, cat and guinea pig, lack of lysosomal alpha-mannosidase activity causes the autosomal recessive disease alpha-mannosidosis. Here, we describe the three-dimensional structure of bovine lysosomal alpha-mannosidase (bLAM) at 2.7A resolution and confirm the solution state dimer by electron microscopy. We present the first structure of a mammalian GH38 enzyme that offers indications for the signal areas for mannose phosphorylation, suggests a previously undetected mechanism of low-pH activation and provides a template for further biochemical studies of the family 38 glycoside hydrolases as well as lysosomal transport. Furthermore, it provides a basis for understanding the human form of alpha-mannosidosis at the atomic level. The atomic coordinates and structure factors have been deposited in the Protein Data Bank (accession codes 1o7d and r1o7dsf).

Abstract
The maturation of N-glycans to complex type structures on cellular and secreted proteins is essential for the roles that these structures play in cell adhesion and recognition events in metazoan organisms. Critical steps in the biosynthetic pathway leading from high mannose to complex structures include the trimming of mannose residues by processing mannosidases in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi complex. These exo-mannosidases comprise two separate families of enzymes that are distinguished by enzymatic characteristics and sequence similarity. Members of the Class 2 mannosidase family (glycosylhydrolase family 38) include enzymes involved in trimming reactions in N-glycan maturation in the Golgi complex (Golgi mannosidase II) as well as catabolic enzymes in lysosomes and cytosol. Studies on the biological roles of complex type N-glycans have employed a variety of strategies including the treatment of cells with glycosidase inhibitors, characterization of human patients with enzymatic defects in processing enzymes, and generation of mouse models for the enzyme deficiency by selective gene disruption approaches. Corresponding studies on Golgi mannosidase II have employed swainsonine, an alkaloid natural plant product that causes "locoism", a phenocopy of the lysosomal storage disease, alpha-mannosidosis, as a result of the additional targeting of the broad-specificity lysosomal mannosidase by this compound. The human deficiency in Golgi mannosidase II is characterized by congenital dyserythropoietic anemia with splenomegaly and various additional abnormalities and complications. Mouse models for Golgi mannosidase II deficiency recapitulate many of the pathological features of the human disease and confirm that the unexpectedly mild effects of the enzyme deficiency result from a tissue-specific and glycoprotein substrate-specific alternate pathway for synthesis of complex N-glycans. In addition, the mutant mice develop symptoms of a systemic autoimmune disorder as a consequence of the altered glycosylation. This review will discuss the biochemical features of Golgi mannosidase II and the consequences of its deficiency in mammalian systems as a model for the effects of alterations in vertebrate N-glycan maturation during development.

Abstract
Class I alpha 1,2-mannosidases (glycosylhydrolase family 47) are conserved through eukaryotic evolution. This protein family comprises three subgroups distinguished by their enzymatic properties. The first subgroup includes yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and human alpha 1,2-mannosidases of the endoplasmic reticulum that primarily form Man(8)GlcNAc(2) isomer B from Man(9)GlcNAc(2). The second subgroup includes mammalian Golgi alpha 1,2-mannosidases, as well as enzymes from insect cells and from filamentous fungi, that trim Man(9)GlcNAc(2) to Man(8)GlcNAc(2) isomers A and/or C intermediates toward the formation of Man(5)GlcNAc(2). Yeast and mammalian proteins of the third subgroup have no enzyme activity with Man(9)GlcNAc(2) as substrate. The members of subgroups 1 and 3 participate in endoplasmic reticulum quality control and promote proteasomal degradation of misfolded glycoproteins. The yeast endoplasmic reticulum alpha 1,2-mannosidase has served as a model for structure-function studies of this family. Its structure was determined by X-ray crystallography as an enzyme-product complex. It consists of a novel (alpha alpha)(7) barrel containing the active site that includes essential acidic residues and calcium. The structures of the subgroup 1 human endoplasmic reticulum alpha 1,2-mannosidase and of a subgroup 2 fungal alpha 1,2-mannosidase were determined by molecular replacement. Comparison of the enzyme structures is providing some insight into the reasons for their different specificities.

Abstract
alpha-Mannosidase (EC 3.2.1.24) from rice dry seeds was purified to homogeneity. Optimum pH and Km for pNP-alpha-Man hydrolysis were pH 4.3-4.5 and 1.04 mM, respectively. The enzyme digested mannobioses such as Manalpha-1,2Man, Manalpha-1,6Man, Manalpha-1,3Man but Manalpha-1,4Man. Zn2+ ion was required for the activity, whereas EDTA and swainsonine inhibited the activity by 80 and 96%, respectively. The rice storage protein, glutelin was prepared and its basic subunits were shown to have high mannose-type sugar chains by two-dimensional mapping using NH2-P and C18 silica columns. They were Man9GlcNAc2, Man8GlcNAc2, Man7GlcNAc2, Man6GlcNAc2 and Man5GlcNAc2. All these oligosaccharides were digested by the purified alpha-mannosidase, and Man-GlcNAc2 and mannose were formed. Glycopeptides, having these high mannose-type sugar chains, could also be digested by the alpha-mannosidase. Subunits were prepared from glutelin basic subunit and the richest subunit among them, subunit 2 (isoform 2), was digested by the alpha-mannosidase. Isoform 2 was digested by V8 protease only partially and slowly. However, isoform 2, pre-treated with the alpha-mannosidase, was rapidly and completely digested by V8 protease.

Abstract
Bovine kidney lysosomal alpha-mannosidase is a family 38 alpha-mannosidase involved in the degradation of glycoproteins. The mechanism-based reagent, 5-fluoro-beta-L-gulosyl fluoride, was used to trap a glycosyl-enzyme intermediate, thereby labelling the catalytic nucleophile of this enzyme. After proteolytic digestion and high performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, a labelled peptide was localised, and the sequence: HIDPFGHSRE determined by fragmentation tandem MS analysis. Taking into consideration sequence alignments of this region with those of other alpha-mannosidases of the same family, this result strongly suggests that the catalytic nucleophile in this enzyme is Asp197.

Abstract
We have isolated a full-length cDNA clone encoding a human alpha1, 2-mannosidase that catalyzes the first mannose trimming step in the processing of mammalian Asn-linked oligosaccharides. This enzyme has been proposed to regulate the timing of quality control glycoprotein degradation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of eukaryotic cells. Human expressed sequence tag clones were identified by sequence similarity to mammalian and yeast oligosaccharide-processing mannosidases, and the full-length coding region of the putative mannosidase homolog was isolated by a combination of 5'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends and direct polymerase chain reaction from human placental cDNA. The open reading frame predicted a 663-amino acid type II transmembrane polypeptide with a short cytoplasmic tail (47 amino acids), a single transmembrane domain (22 amino acids), and a large COOH-terminal catalytic domain (594 amino acids). Northern blots detected a transcript of approximately 2.8 kilobase pairs that was ubiquitously expressed in human tissues. Expression of an epitope-tagged full-length form of the human mannosidase homolog in normal rat kidney cells resulted in an ER pattern of localization. When a recombinant protein, consisting of protein A fused to the COOH-terminal luminal domain of the human mannosidase homolog, was expressed in COS cells, the fusion protein was found to cleave only a single alpha1,2-mannose residue from Man(9)GlcNAc(2) to produce a unique Man(8)GlcNAc(2) isomer (Man8B). The mannose cleavage reaction required divalent cations as indicated by inhibition with EDTA or EGTA and reversal of the inhibition by the addition of Ca(2+). The enzyme was also sensitive to inhibition by deoxymannojirimycin and kifunensine, but not swainsonine. The results on the localization, substrate specificity, and inhibitor profiles indicate that the cDNA reported here encodes an enzyme previously designated ER mannosidase I. Enzyme reactions using a combination of human ER mannosidase I and recombinant Golgi mannosidase IA indicated that that these two enzymes are complementary in their cleavage of Man(9)GlcNAc(2) oligosaccharides to Man(5)GlcNAc(2).

Abstract
The properties of the N-glycan processing glycosidases located in the endoplasmic reticulum of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are described. alpha-Glucosidase I encoded by CWH41 cleaves the terminal alpha1, 2-linked glucose and alpha-glucosidase II encoded by ROT2 removes the two alpha1,3-linked glucose residues from the Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 oligosaccharide precursor while the alpha1,2-mannosidase encoded by MNS1 removes one specific mannose to form a single isomer of Man8GlcNAc2. Although trimming by these glycosidases is not essential for the formation of N-glycan outer chains, recent studies on mutants lacking these enzymes indicate that alpha-glucosidases I and II play an indirect role in cell wall beta1,6-glucan formation and that the alpha1,2-mannosidase is involved in endoplasmic reticulum quality control. Detailed structure-function studies of recombinant yeast alpha1,2-mannosidase are described that serve as a model for other members of this enzyme family that has been conserved through eukaryotic evolution.

Abstract
Human beta-glucuronidase is a member of the Family 2 glycosylhydrolases that cleaves beta-D-glucuronic acid residues from the nonreducing termini of glycosaminoglycans. The enzyme is shown to catalyze glycoside bond hydrolysis with net retention of anomeric configuration, presumably via a mechanism involving a covalent glucuronyl-enzyme intermediate. Incubation of human beta-glucuronidase with 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-glucuronyl fluoride resulted in time-dependent inactivation of the enzyme through the accumulation of a covalent 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-alpha-D-glucuronyl-enzyme, as observed by electrospray mass spectrometry. Regeneration of the free enzyme by hydrolysis or transglycosylation and removal of excess inactivator demonstrated that the covalent intermediate was kinetically competent. Peptic digestion of the 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-alpha-D-glucuronyl-enzyme intermediate and subsequent analysis by liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization triple quadrupole mass spectrometry indicated the presence of a 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-alpha-D-glucuronyl peptide. Sequence determination of the labeled peptide by tandem mass spectrometry in the daughter ion scan mode permitted the identification of Glu-540 as the catalytic nucleophile within the sequence SEYGAET.

Abstract
An exo-N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase from the thermotolerant Bacillus sp. NCIM 5120 was purified to homogeneity by chromatography on CM-cellulose, Sephacryl S-300 and phenyl-Sepharose. The enzyme has a Mr of 230000 as determined by size exclusion chromatography on Sephacryl S-300/Sephadex G-200 and exhibited a relative subunit Mr of 60000 on denaturing gel electrophoresis. It is a neutral protein with a pI of 6.79. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme activity are 6.0 and 70 degreesC, respectively. Determination of the reaction stereochemistry indicates that the enzyme is a retaining glycosidase with the beta anomer of GlcNAc formed as the initial product. Determination of the energy of activation with different leaving groups (p-nitrophenol and 4-methyl-umbelliferone) reveals that the enzyme exhibits a biphasic Arrhenius plot with two characteristic energy of activation with an inflection temperature of 50 degreesC. The activation energy at temperatures below the inflection point was found to be higher than that above the inflection point. The energy of activation for 4-Me-Umb-beta-d-GlcNAc was higher at temperatures below the inflection point than for pNP-beta-d-GlcNAc (60.3 and 43.2 kJ mol-1, respectively). It hydrolyzes specifically, terminally linked beta(1-4) GlcNAc residues from the non-reducing end of oligosaccharides. Comparative studies on the hydrolysis of chito-oligosaccharides by the exo-N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase indicates that chitobiose is the best substrate with a Km and kcat of 0.34 mM and 24 microoff min-1mg-1, respectively. It also exhibits strict substrate specificity with respect to the glycone substitution as well as anomeric linkage.

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 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Comparative liquid chromatographic/mass spectrometric analysis of peptic digests of labeled and unlabeled enzyme samples confirmed the unique presence of this peptide of m/z 1180.5 in the labeled sample. The label was cleaved from the peptide by treatment with ammonia, and the resultant unlabeled peptide was purified and sequenced by Edman degradation. The peptide identified contained only one candidate for the catalytic nucleophile, an aspartic acid. This residue was contained within the sequence Gly-Trp-Gln-Ile-Asp-Pro-Phe-Gly-His-Ser, which showed excellent sequence similarity with regions in mammalian lysosomal and Golgi alpha-mannosidase sequences. These mammalian alpha-mannosidases belong to family 38 (or class II alpha-mannosidases) in which the Asp in the above sequence is totally conserved. This finding therefore assigns jack bean alpha-mannosidase to family 38, validating it as a model for other pharmaceutically interesting enzymes and thereby identifying the catalytic nucleophile within this family.
