Recognition of the acceptor β-d-Glc pNAc-(1 → 2)-α-d-Manp(1 → 6)-β-d-Glc p-OR by N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-V: None of the hydroxyl groups on the Glc-residue are important
摘要:
The enzyme, N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-V (GlcNAcT-V, E.C 2.4.1.155), transters a beta-D-GlcpNAc residue, from UDP-GlcNAc, to the OH-6 group of the Man residue in the synthetic acceptor beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1 --> 2)-alpha-D-Manp-(l --> 6)-beta-D-Glcp-O(CH2)7CH3 (3). Trisaccharide 3 is an excellent substrate for the enzyme from hamster kidney with a K(m) value of 26 muM. In this paper we examine the contribution of the Glc residue in 3 to acceptor recognition by this enzyme. Beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1 --> 2)-alpha-D-Manp-O(CH2)7CH3 (5), where the Glc residue in 3 has been deleted, was synthesized and found to be a very poor substrate with a K(m) value elevated to almost 2 mM. Two other analogues of 3, where the Glc residue was 0-trimethylated (6) or 0-tribenzylated (7), respectively, possessed K(m) values very near to those of 3. The Glc residue in 3 is thereby shown to present an important recognition element for GlcNAcT-V, but none of the free hydroxyl groups are required. This observation should facilitate the design of more hydrophobic and membrane-permeable analogues of 3 that are expected to function as specific glycosylation inhibitors.
