[EN] ACHOLETIN BIOPOLYMERS AND METHODS FOR ENZYMATIC SYNTHESIS [FR] BIOPOLYMÈRES D'ACHOLÉTINE ET PROCÉDÉS DE SYNTHÈSE ENZYMATIQUE
摘要:
Provided herein are β-1,3-linked biopolymers (acholetin polysaccharides). Furthermore, provided herein are enzymatic methods and systems for producing β-1,3-linked oligosaccharides and polysaccharides using β-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminide phosphorylase (Acholetin phosphorylase (AchP)). The AchP was sourced from the genome of the cell wall-less Mollicute bacterium, Acholeplasma laidlawii and was found to synthesize β-1,3-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) or N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) oligomers using the donor, α-N-acetylglucosamine 1-phosphate (GlcNAc1-P) or N-acetylgalactosamine 1-phosphate (GalNAc1-P).
