Enzymatic synthesis of nucleobase-modified UDP-sugars: scope and limitations
摘要:
Glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase in conjunction with UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase was found to catalyse the conversion of a range of 5-substituted UTP derivatives into the corresponding UDP-galactose derivatives in poor yield. Notably the 5-iodo derivative was not converted to UDP-sugar. In contrast, UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase in conjunction with inorganic pyrophosphatase was particularly effective at converting 5-substituted UTP derivatives, including the iodo compound, into a range of gluco-configured 5-substituted UDP-sugar derivatives in good yields. Attempts to effect 400-epimerization of these 5-substituted UDP-glucose with UDP-glucose 4 ''-epimerase from yeast were unsuccessful, while use of the corresponding enzyme from Erwinia amylovora resulted in efficient epimerization of only 5-iodo-UDP-Glc, but not the corresponding 5-aryl derivatives, to give 5-iodo-UDP-Gal. Given the established potential for Pd-mediated cross-coupling of 5-iodo-UDP-sugars, this provides convenient access to the galacto-configured 5-substituted-UDP-sugars from gluco-configured substrates and 5-iodo-UTP.

A new U: A new fluorescent derivative of UDP‐galactose, modified at the uracil base, is strongly emissive in aqueous solution. The fluorescence emission is quenched upon specific binding at a galactosyltransferase. This effect was exploited for ligand‐displacement experiments with four different enzymes.
