Substrate specificity of galactokinase from Streptococcus pneumoniae TIGR4 towards galactose, glucose, and their derivatives
摘要:
Galactokinases (GalKs) have attracted significant research attention for their potential applications in the enzymatic synthesis of unique sugar phosphates. The galactokinase (GalKSpe4) cloned from Streptococcus pneumoniae TIGR4 presents a remarkably broad substrate range including 14 diverse natural and unnatural sugars. TLC and MS studies revealed that GalKSpe4 had relaxed activity towards galactose derivatives with modifications on the C-6, 4- or 2-positions. Additionally, GalKSpe4 can also tolerate glucose while glucose derivatives with modifications on the C-6, 4- or 2-positions were unacceptable. More interestingly, GalKSpe4 can phosphorylate L-mannose in moderate yield (43%), while other L-sugars such as L-Gal cannot be recognized by this enzyme. These results are very significant because there is rarely enzyme reported that can phosphorylate such uncommon substrates as L-mannose. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

(EN) Disclosed are methods for the preparation of monofucosylated and sialylated derivatives of the compound $g(b)Gal(1-4)$g(b)GlcNAc(1-3)$g(b)Gal(1-4)$g(b)GlcNAc-R. In particular, the methods of this invention provide for a multi-step synthesis wherein selective monofucosylation is accomplished on the 3-hydroxy group on only one of the GlcNAc units found in the $g(b)Gal(1-4)$g(b)GlcNAc(1-3)$g(b)Gal(1-4)$g(b)GlcNAc-R compound. In this step, monofucosylation is achieved by use of the $g(a)(1-3)fucosyltransferase.(FR) On décrit des méthodes de préparation de dérivés à monofucosylation et sialylation du composé $g(b)Gal(1-4)$g(b)GlcNAc(1-3)$g(b)Gal(1-4)$g(b)GlcNAc-R. En particulier, les méthodes de ladite invention permettent une synthèse en plusieurs étapes, la monofucosylation sélective étant réalisée sur le groupe 3-hydroxy sur une seule des unités GlcNAc trouvées dans le composé $g(b)Gal(1-4)$g(b)GlcNAc(1-3)$g(b)Gal(1-4)$g(b)GlcNAc-R. Dans cette étape, la monofucosylation est réalisée par l'utilisation de la $g(a)(1-3) fucosyltransférase.
