Preliminary 1H NMR investigation of sialic acid transfer by the trans-sialidase from Trypanosoma cruzi
摘要:
H-1 NMR spectroscopy has been used to investigate the transfer of sialic acid from sialic acid donor molecules to acceptor molecules using the trans-sialidase from Typanosoma cruzi. It is clearly demonstrated that NMR spectroscopy is an efficient and powerful means of monitoring the trans-sialidase promoted transfer of sialic acid from donor to acceptor.

A multifunctional sialyltransferase has been cloned from Pasteurella multocida strain P-1059 and expressed in E. coli as a truncated C-terminal His6-tagged recombinant protein (tPm0188Ph). Biochemical studies indicate that the obtained protein is (1) an alpha2,3-sialyltransferase (main function), (2) an alpha2,6-sialyltransferase, (3) an alpha2,3-sialidase, and (4) an alpha2,3-trans-sialidase. The recombinant tPm0188Ph is a powerful tool in the synthesis of structurally diverse sialoside libraries due to its relaxed substrate specificity, high solubility, high expression level, and multifunctionality.
