Enzymatic α(1→2)-l-fucosylation: investigation of the specificity of the α(1→2)-l-galactosyltransferase from Helix pomatia
摘要:
The alpha(1-->2)-L-galactosyltransferase from Helix pomatia transfers an L-fucosyl residue from GDP-L-Fucose to a terminal, non-reducin D-galactopyranosyl moiety of an oligosaccharide. The extent of the enzyme's specificity towards the stereochemistry at the D-galactopyranosyl anomeric centre, the site of interglycosidic linkage and the nature of the subterminal oliaosaccharide residue has been investigated using HPAEC-PAD and MALDI-TOF technology. This alpha(1-->2)-L-galactosyltransferase is specific for D-galactopyranosyl beta-linkages, independent of the site of the interglycosidic linkage and aglycone configuration and with limited specificity for the nature of the subterminal sugar residue.

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.

in a membrane preparation of these glands. These were used to synthesise various oligosaccharides by successive addition of the NDP-activated (NDP=nucleoside-5'-diphosphate) D-Gal or L-Fuc moieties, up to a heptasaccharide by starting from the disaccharide D-Gal-beta(1-->3)-D-Gal-beta(1-->OMe. Even larger oligosaccharides up to a tridecasaccharide were obtained by starting with the hexasaccharide D-
