Large-scale production of the carbohydrate portion of the sialyl–Tn epitope, α-Neup5Ac-(2→6)-d-GalpNAc, through bacterial coupling
摘要:
alpha -Neup5Ac-(2 --> 6)-D-GalpNAc, the carbohydrate portion of sialyl-Tn epitope of the tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen, was prepared by a whole-cell reaction through the combination of recombinant Escherichia coli strains and Corynebacterium ammoniagenes. Two recombinant E. coli strains overexpressed the CMP-Neup 5Ac biosynthetic genes and the alpha-(2 --> 6)-sialyltransferase gene of Photobacterium damsela. C. ammoniagenes contributed to the production of UTP from orotic acid. alpha -NeupSAc-(2 --> 6)-D-GalpNAc was accumulated at 87 mM (45 g/L) after a 25-h reaction starting from orotic acid, N-acetylneuraminic acid, and 2-acetamide-2-deoxy-D-galactose.
