Globotriose [α-D-Gal-(1→4)-β-D-Gal-(1→4)-D-Glc] is the carbohydrate moiety of the globotriosyl ceramide (Gb3), also known as the germinal centre B-cell differentiation antigen CD77, a glycolipid present on the plasma membrane of certain mammalian cells. In Gb3, globotriose functions as the cell-surface receptor for Shiga toxin and for the Shiga-like toxins (verocytotoxins). Here we report the chemical synthesis of globotriose and the corresponding terminal disaccharide, galabiose [α-D-Gal-(1→4)-β-D-Gal]. Globotriose and galabiose are attached via a linker to CNBr-activated Sepharose to generate affinity matrices that permit the one-step purification of recombinant Shiga-like toxin-1 from crude E. coli homogenates. Toxin is released from either of the immobilised saccharides by elution with 6 M guanidinium chloride. After dilution of the denaturant, the released toxin had full catalytic activity. Denaturation-titration experiments show that the bound toxin is released from galabiose-Sepharose at 2.3 M guanidinium chloride, while its release from globotriose-Sepharose requires a higher concentration of 4.8 M. These results indicate that the glucose component of globotriose contributes ≈2.6 kcal mol–1 to the binding energy relative to galabiose.
Globotriose [α-D-Gal-(1→4)-β-D-Gal-(1→4)-D-Glc] 是球三糖苷 (Gb3) 的碳水化合物部分,也称为生发中心 B 细胞分化抗原 CD77,是一种存在于某些哺乳动物细胞质膜上的糖脂。在 Gb3 中,球三糖作为志贺毒素和志贺样毒素(verocytotoxins)的细胞表面受体。这里我们报道了球三糖和相应的末端二糖,galabiose [α-D-Gal-(1→4)-β-D-Gal] 的化学合成。球三糖和 galabiose 通过一个连接子连接到 CNBr 活化的 Sepharose 上,生成亲和矩阵,允许从粗大肠杆菌匀浆中一步纯化重组志贺样毒素-1。毒素通过 6 M 胲盐酸盐洗脱从任一固定糖中释放出来。在稀释变性剂后,释放的毒素具有完全的催化活性。变性滴定实验显示,结合在 galabiose-Sepharose 上的毒素在 2.3 M 胲盐酸盐下释放,而从 globotriose-Sepharose 上释放需要更高的 4.8 M 浓度。这些结果表明,球三糖的葡萄糖成分相对于 galabiose,对结合能的贡献约为 2.6 kcal mol–1。
