Chemoenzymatic synthesis of Galα1-3Gal, Galα1-3Galβ1-4GlcNAc and their PEG-conjugates.
摘要:
Gal alpha 1-3Gal-pNP was prepared enzymatically from Gal-pNP using alpha-galactosidase from coffee beans. PEG was attached after the reduction of nitro group into amino group to give Gal alpha 1-3Gal-PEG conjugate. After removing the pNP group in Gal alpha 1-3Gal-pNP, the obtained disaccharide was used for the synthesis of Gal alpha 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc and corresponding trisaccharide-PEG conjugate.

Transglycosylation activity of α-d-galactosidase from Trichoderma reesei An investigation of the active site
摘要:
The transglycosylation reaction catalyzed by alpha-D-galactosidase from the mycelial fungus Trichoderma reesei was studied using p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-galactopyranoside (PNPG). An aliphatic alcohol or the substrate itself can be an acceptor of the galactose residue in this reaction. The transglycosylation products were identified as alkyl galactosides in the case of alcohols or as galactobioside and galactotrioside in the case of PNPG. The transglycosylation rates follow a first-order equation with respect to the alcohol concentrations except for methanol. Affinities of some substrates were estimated from their K-i values in the reaction of the enzyme with PNPG. Transglycosylation of the substrate suggests a model for the enzyme active center. It is proposed that the active center includes two galactose-binding sites and a hydrophobic site. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.

a limiting factor for application of the enzyme in the directed synthesis of oligogalactosides. However, this property can be used as a convenient tool in studies of thermodynamics of a glycosidic bond. Here, a novel approach to energy difference estimation is suggested. Both transglycosylation and hydrolysis of three types of galactosidic linkages were investigated using total kinetics of formation

The invention provides methods for reducing circulating levels of antibodies, particularly disease-associated antibodies. The methods entail administering effective amounts of epitope-presenting carriers to an individual. In other embodiments, ex vivo methods for reducing circulating levels of antibodies are provided which employ epitope-presenting carriers.
Characterization of Properties and Transglycosylation Abilities of Recombinant α-Galactosidase from Cold-Adapted Marine Bacterium Pseudoalteromonas KMM 701 and Its C494N and D451A Mutants
(α-PsGal) from the cold-adapted marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. KMM 701, and its mutants D451A and C494N, were studied in terms of their structural, physicochemical, and catalytic properties. Homology models of the three-dimensional α-PsGal structure, its activecenter, and complexes with D-galactose were constructed for identification of functionally important amino acid residues in the active site

This invention provides conjugates useful for xenotransplantation which comprise a galactose &agr;1,3 galactosyl (&agr;Gal) epitope conjugated to a valency platform molecule, preferably a chemically defined valency platform molecule which allows precise valency. The invention also provides compositions comprising these conjugates, and methods (such as methods for inducing tolerance) using these conjugates and compositions.

Synthesis of polymerizable beta-lactosyl, Gal alpha 1-->3Gal and alpha-mannosyl acrylamide derivatives with either a hydrophobic aromatic spacer or a hydrophilic biocompatible oligoethoxyl spacer was accomplished. Radical terpolymerizations of beta-lactosyl monomer, alpha-mannosyl monomer, and acrylamide were conducted in aqueous media with ammonium persulfate and N,N,N,N'-tetramethylethylenediamine as initiators. The resulting water soluble glycopolymers were further transformed efficiently by a recombinant alpha 1-->3 galactosyltransferase to afford mediators bearing Gal alpha 1-->3Gal termini as xenoactive antigens and alpha-mannosyl termini as specific ligands for bacterial cells. The binding of the resulting multivalent glycopolymer to bacteria was tested by its ability to inhibit agglutination of yeast to E. coli. The binding of human natural anti-Gal antibodies to the alpha-Gal containing glycopolymers and a monovalent alpha-Gal-Man glycoconjugate was demonstrated by an ELISA inhibition assay.
