Enzymatic synthesis of sialyl-Lewisa-libraries with two non-natural monosaccharide units
摘要:
A series of sialylated type-I sugars, which have the natural N-acetyl group of the glucosamine moiety replaced by a wide range of amides, is incubated with recombinant fucosyl-transferase III and nonnatural guanosine-diphosphate activated donor-sugars. Surprisingly, the enzyme tolerates the simultaneous alterations on the donor and acceptor to form a wide array of sialyl-Lewis(a)-analogues. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

L-Galactosylated dimeric sialyl LewisX (SLeX) has been prepared employing a combination of chemical and enzymatic synthetic methods. GDP-L-galactose has been chemically synthesised. Enzymatic transfer of L-galactose onto the acceptor (Sia-alpha2,3-Gal-beta1,4-GlcNAc-beta1,3/6)2-Man-alpha1-OMe was achieved using the human alpha-1,3-fucosyltransferase V.
The specificity of an L-galactosyltransferase (L-Gal-T) from albumen glands of the snail Helix pomatia has been studied. This enzyme transfers L-Gal from GDP-L-Gal to various disaccharides with beta-linked D-Gal in terminal non-reducing position, forming an alpha-(1 --> 2) linkage. The subterminal residue and the type of interglycosidic linkage proved to be of minor importance. However, the branched trisaccharide beta-D-Gal-(1 --> 3)-[beta-D-Gal-(1 --> 6)]-beta-D-Gal-(1 --> O)Me is a very poor acceptor. The specificity of the L-Gal-T correlates well with the equimolar occurrence of L-Gal and the structural element --> 2)-Gal-(1 --> found in the storage polysaccharide of this snail. Since L-Fuc is also transferred from its GDP-activated form, the membrane preparations of the albumen glands can be used to synthesize fucosylated oligosaccharides. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
