Abstract Treatment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae a cells with α‐factor partially inhibits mannosylation of the high M r mannoproteins, although there is an increase in the total amount of these molecules present in the wall. They show a similar mobility in SDS‐acrylamide gels to those from untreated mnn2 cells. No other significant effects on wall mannoproteins have been observed, except a decrease in the amount of the 29 kDa species.
