Synthesis and structural studies of branched 2-linked trisaccharides related to blood group determinants
摘要:
A series of trisaccharide glycosides, Fuc-(1 --> 2)-beta-Gal-(1 --> 3)-beta-X-OMe (X = GlcNAc, Glc, 2-deoxy-Glc) related to the blood group determinant Led have been synthesised both as their alpha- and beta-Fuc anomers together with the component disaccharide starting compounds. The conformational properties of the six trisaccharides together with their parent disaccharides have been investigated by NMR spectroscopy (proton and carbon chemical shifts and proton NOEs) in combination with computer modeling using the Monte Carlo approach and the HSEA force field using the GEGOP programme. The interaction between the terminal fucose unit and the reducing unit was probed by substitution of the bulky NAc group with hydroxyl and deoxy substituents, respectively. Compounds with severe steric interactions were identified by the non-additivity of their carbon chemical shifts. This was subsequently confirmed by the detailed conformational assessment by NOE spectroscopy and computer modeling. The most severe contacts arose in the alpha-L-Fuc derivatives, whereas the beta-linked L-Fuc derivatives only in one case exhibit severe steric interaction as probed by the NMR parameters.

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.

Fast and efficient synthesis of a novel homologous series of l-fucosylated trisaccharides using the Helix pomatia α-(1→2)-l-galactosyltransferase
The alpha-(1-->2)-L-galactosyltransferase from the albumen gland of the vineyard snail Helix pomatia exhibits high alpha-(1-->2)-L-fucosyltransferase activity and can be used to transfer L-fucose from GDP-L-fucose to terminal, non-reducing D-galactose residues of an oligosaccharide, thus providing facile access to a range of H-antigen-containing oligosaccharides. The enzymatic glycosylation was applied
