Publication Abstract from PubMed
Mannostatin A is a potent inhibitor of the mannose-trimming enzyme, Golgi alpha-mannosidase II (GMII), which acts late in the N-glycan processing pathway. Inhibition of this enzyme provides a route to blocking the transformation-associated changes in cancer cell surface oligosaccharide structures. Here, we report on the synthesis of new Mannostatin derivatives and analyze their binding in the active site of Drosophila GMII by X-ray crystallography. The results indicate that the interaction with the backbone carbonyl of Arg876 is crucial to the high potency of the inhibitor-an effect enhanced by the hydrophobic interaction between the thiomethyl group and an aromatic pocket vicinal to the cleavage site. The various structures indicate that differences in the hydration of protein-ligand complexes are also important determinants of plasticity as well as selectivity of inhibitor binding.
