Studies of the interaction of the maltose-binding protein of Escherichia coli, a closed-groove binder, with 4,6-O-ethylidenemalto-oligosaccharides (dp 2–5) and its regioselective labelling with 3-azibutyl 1-thio-α-(6-3H)maltoside
摘要:
Four malto-oligosaccharides (dp 2-5), each with a 4,6-O-ethylidene group on the glucosyl unit at the non-reducing terminus, were synthesised and used to prove that the maltose-binding protein (MBP) of E. coli is a closed-groove binder. Alpha-D-glucosylation of 3-azibutyl 1-thio-alpha-D-(6-H-3)glucopyranoside yielded a H-3-labelled, photolabile 1-thiomaltoside derivative that was used to chemically modify the binding site of MBP. The H-3-labelled peptide containing 83% of the total radioactivity, which was isolated after tryptic cleavage of the modified MBP and sequenced, is part of the closed end of the MBP groove.
