Glycopeptide probes for understanding peptide specificity of the folding sensor enzyme UGGT
摘要:
A systematic series of chitobiose-modified pentapeptides with sequence variations of hydrophobic leucine and hydrophilic serine were synthesized. The resulting glycopeptides were used as molecular probes to elucidate aglycon peptide specificity of the glycoprotein-folding sensor enzyme UGGT. Inhibitory experiments with a synthetic fluorescent glyco-substrate and the glycopeptides revealed that UGGT prefers a serine residue directly linked to C-terminal of the N-glycosylation site in its substrate recognition.
