合成了一系列完整的恶唑啉二糖、三糖、四糖和六糖,对应于 N-连接糖蛋白高甘露糖聚糖的核心部分,以及相应的含有中心葡萄糖单元的寡糖,并作为糖基供体进行了测试。由内己糖胺酶 M (Endo M)、A (Endo A) 和 H (Endo H) 催化的 GlcNAcAsn 糖基氨基酸的糖基化。虽然 Endo H 没有催化任何糖基化反应,但 Endo M 和 Endo A 都有效地催化了糖基化,这些糖基化不仅限于包含 Manbeta(1-->4)GlcNAc 链接的供体。精确的结构活性关系和时间进程研究揭示了与所用酶和精确恶唑啉结构相关的合成过程效率的微调。Endo M 和 Endo A 均可实现有效的不可逆糖基化,进一步证明使用结构修饰的恶唑啉供体作为过渡态模拟物以促进酶催化合成,同时防止产物水解;在这些情况下,酶表现出“糖基连接酶”活性。

An alternative synthesis of beta-Glcp-(1 -> 4)-GlcpNAc oxazoline is described, and its enzymatic reaction with the endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase from Arthrobacter protophormiae (Endo-A) was re-investigated. Under normal transglycosylation conditions with a catalytic amount of enzyme, Enclo-A showed only marginal activity for transglycosylation with the disaccharide oxazoline, consistent with our previous observations. However, when used in a relatively large quantity, Endo-A could promote the transglycosylation of the disaccharide oxazoline to a GlcpNAc-Asn acceptor. In addition to the initial transglycosylation product, a series of large oligosaccharides were also formed due to the tandem transglycosylation to the terminal glucose residues in the intermediate products. In the absence of an external acceptor, Enclo-A could polymerize the disaccharide oxazoline to form oligo- and polysaccharides having the -4-beta-(Glcp-(1 -> 4)-beta-GlcpNAc)-1-repeating units. This is the first example of an endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase-promoted polymerization of activated oligosaccharide substrates. This enzymatic polymerization may find useful applications for the synthesis of novel artificial polysaccharides. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
