Abstract
Tunicamycin apparently inhibited the biosynthesis of glucose, galactose, and maltose transport systems in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Under the conditions used, the antibiotic also blocked the biosynthesis of invertase, a well-known yeast glycoprotein, as well as the glycosylation of a marker mannoprotein of the yeast cell wall. However, the antibiotic did not affect certain proteins which did not contain carbohydrate. It seems, therefore, that these sugar carriers are glycoproteins.
