The present invention provides mutant nucleotidylyl-transferases, such as E
p
, having altered substrate specificity; methods for their production; and methods of producing nucleotide sugars, which utilize these nucleotidylyl-transferases. The present invention also provides methods of synthesizing desired nucleotide sugars using natural and/or modified Ep or other nucleotidyltransferases; and nucleotide sugars sythesized by the present methods. The present invention further provides new glycosyl phosphates, and methods for making them.
本发明提供了一种突变型核苷酸转移酶,如E
p
,具有改变的底物特异性;其生产方法;以及利用这些核苷酸转移酶生产核苷酸糖的方法。本发明还提供了使用天然和/或修饰的Ep或其他核苷酸转移酶合成所需的核苷酸糖的方法;以及通过本发明方法合成的核苷酸糖。本发明进一步提供了新的糖基磷酸酯,及其制造方法。
