α-(2,6)-Sialyltransferase-Catalyzed Sialylations of Conformationally Constrained Oligosaccharides
摘要:
It is demonstrated that conformationally restricted oligosaccharides can act as acceptors for glycosyltransferases. Correlation of the conformational properties of N-acetyl lactosamine (Galbeta(1-4)GlcNAc, LacNAc) and several preorganized derivatives with the corresponding apparent kinetic parameters of rat liver alpha-(2,6)-sialyltransferase-catalyzed sialylations revealed that this enzyme recognizes LacNAc in a low energy conformation. Furthermore, small variations in the conformational properties of the acceptors resulted in large differences in catalytic efficiency. Collectively, our data suggest that preorganization of acceptors in conformations that are favorable for recognition by a transferase may improve catalytic efficiencies.
