On-Chip Screening of a Glycomimetic Library with C-Type Lectins Reveals Structural Features Responsible for Preferential Binding of Dectin-2 over DC-SIGN/R and Langerin
A library of mannose‐ and fucose‐based glycomimetics was synthesized and screened in a microarray format against a set of C‐type lectin receptors (CLRs) that included DC‐SIGN, DC‐SIGNR, langerin, and dectin‐2. Glycomimetic ligands able to interact with dectin‐2 were identified for the first time. Comparative analysis of binding profiles allowed their selectivity against other CLRs to be probed.

is controlled by neighboring group participation. The resultant glycosyl boranophosphate triesters were converted into the corresponding boranophosphate diesters and condensed with appropriately protected monosaccharides to give disaccharides linked with an anomeric boranophosphate linkage. Furthermore, the disaccharides worked as precursors of the corresponding phosphodiester-linked disaccharides

Enzymatic approaches to prepare sugar nucleotides are gaining in importance and offer several advantages over chemical synthesis including high yields and stereospecificity. We report the cloning, expression, and purification of two new wild-type thymidylyltransferases and observed catalysis with a wide variety of substrates. Significant product inhibition was not observed with the enzymes studied over a 24 h period, enabling the efficient preparation of 15 sugar nucleotides, clearly demonstrating the synthetic utility of these biocatalysts.

The use of Leloir glycosyltransferases to prepare biologically relevant oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates requires access to sugar nucleoside diphosphates, which are notoriously difficult to efficiently synthesize and purify. We report a novel stereoselective route to UDP- and GDP-alpha-d-mannose as well as UDP- and GDP-beta-l-fucose via direct displacement of acylated glycosyl bromides with nucleoside 5'-diphosphates.
