As the first in vitro characterization of a sugar N-oxidase, this study establishes CalE10 as the key oxidase involved in calicheamicin hydroxylamino glycoside formation. This Study confirms that oxidation occurs at the sugar nucleotide stage prior to glycosyltransfer, and substrate specificity studies reveal CalE10-catalyzed oxidation to be regiospecific and to present trace amounts of the corresponding nitrosugar in vitro. This work also sets a precedent for the future study of other N-oxidases involved in hydroxylamino-, nitroso-, and/or nitrosugar formation.
En route to deoxygenated N-acetyllactosamine analogues employing uridyl and galactosyl transferases
All monodeoxygenated galactoses were treated with galactokinase, and for the 2-, 3-, and 4-deoxy compounds, transformation into the corresponding galactopyranosyl phosphates could be observed. In case of the 2-deoxy derivative, further reaction via UDP-2-deoxy-D-lyxo-hexose (UDP-2-deoxygalactose), which was also obtained chemically, the multiple enzymatic system could be employed to prepare 2'-deoxy-N-acetyllactosamine.
