A dimethoxytriazine type glycosyl donor enables a facile chemo-enzymatic route toward α-linked N-acetylglucosaminyl-galactose disaccharide unit from gastric mucin
A combined chemical and enzymatic strategy for the construction of carbohydrate-containing antigen core units
摘要:
Glycosidase-mediated coupling of glycal acceptors with galactose donors affords beta1,3-linked disaccharides that are versatile intermediates for further chemical and enzymatic manipulation. The utility of these disaccharides is demonstrated by the elaboration of these compounds into the type I and type IV core disaccharides of carbohydrate-containing antigens. Further conversion of the type IV disaccharide to a mucin-type trisaccharide (Galbeta1,3(GlcNAcbeta1,6)GalNAc) was accomplished with the use of a beta1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase. This combined use of enzymatic and chemical methodologies allows for the rapid assembly, with high regio- and stereoselectivity, of core oligosaccharides of biologically important glycoconjugates.

novel disialyl glycans have been designed and synthesized by enzymatic or chemoenzymatic methods. Noticeably, two disialyl tetraoses have been produced by enzymatic sialylation of chemically synthesized thioethyl β-disaccharides followed by removal of the thioethyl aglycon. Dose-dependent and single-dose comparison studies showed varying NEC-preventing effects of the disialyl glycans in neonatal rats
A method of assaying for glycosyltransferase activity in a sample. In a first step, a sample is reacted with a first sugar donor and an acceptor substrate to produce a transferase product. The first sugar donor and acceptor substrate are selected such that the sugar from the first sugar donor is capable of being transferred to the acceptor substrate in the presence of the glycosyltransferase to be assayed. In a second step, the transferase product is reacted with a second sugar donor having a sugar which is labelled with a labelling agent and an enzyme which is capable of transferring the sugar from the second sugar donor to the transferase product to produce a labelled transferase product and which has a higher affinity for the glycosyltransferase product compared to the affinity of the glycosyltransferase for the acceptor substrate. The labelling agent activity of the labelled transferase product or unreacted second sugar donor is assayed to determine transferase activity in the sample. A kit for assaying for glycosyltransferase activity in a sample is also described.
