Enzymatic synthesis of a library of β-(1→4) hetero- d-glucose and d-xylose-based oligosaccharides employing cellodextrin phosphorylase
摘要:
Enzymatic synthesis was attempted of six trisaccharides and 14 tetrasaccharides comprising beta-(1-->4)-linked D-glucose and D-xylose residues, using cellodextrin phosphorylase (CDP, EC 2.4.1.49) as the enzyme catalyst, with alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate (1) alpha-D-xylose 1-phosphate (2) as the donor substrates, and cellobiose (3), xylobiose (4), betaGlc-(l-->4)-Xyl (5), or betaXyl-(1-->4)-Glc (6) as the acceptor substrates. All enzymatic reactions were performed at pH 7.0 and the products purified by gel-filtration chromatography. We successfully synthesized all six hetero-trisaccharides and 10 of the 14 possible hetero-tetrasaccharides. It was not found possible to synthesize the four tetrasaccharides with a Xyl-->Glc sequence at their non-reducing ends employing this method. The stereochemistries of the isolated products were assessed by analysis of their 2D NMR spectra (DQF-COSY, TOCSY, HSQC, HMBC). confirming that all of the glycosidic bonds in the products were beta-(1-->4) linkages.
