Chitin synthase (CS) polymerizes UDP-GlcNAc to form chitin (poly-β(1,4)-GlcNAc), a key component of fungal cell wall biosynthesis. Little is known about the substrate specificity of chitin synthase or the scope of substrate modification the enzyme will tolerate. Following a previous report suggesting that 6-O-dansyl GlcNAc is biosynthetically incorporated into chitin, we became interested in developing
几丁质合酶(CS)聚合
UDP-GlcNAc形成几丁质(poly-β(1,4)-GlcNAc),这是真菌细胞壁
生物合成的关键组成部分。几丁质合酶的底物特异性或该酶可耐受的底物修饰范围知之甚少。在先前的报道表明6- O-丹磺酰基GlcNAc被
生物合成地整合到甲壳质中之后,我们开始对基于荧光底物的整合开发CS活性的测定感兴趣。我们描述了两种荧光
UDP-GlcNAc类似物的合成及其作为几丁质合酶底物的评估。
