Probe design and synthesis of Galβ(1→3)[NeuAcα(2→6)]GlcNAcβ(1→2)Man motif of N-glycan
摘要:
Synthesis and clusterization of Gal beta(1 -> 3)[NeuAc alpha(2 -> 6)]GlcNAc beta(1 -> 2)Man motif of the N-glycan, as the molecular probes for their biological evaluation, are reported. Key step is the quantitative and the completely alpha-selective sialylation of the C5-azide N-phenyltrifluoroacetimidate with the disaccharide acceptor, Gal beta(1 -> 3) GlcNTroc. Clusterization of the 16 molecules of trisaccharide motif was also achieved by the 'self-activating click reaction'. These probes could efficiently be labeled by biotin and/or other fluorescenceor radioactive reporter groups through either cross metathesis, acylation, Cu(I)-mediated Huisgen [2+3]-cycloaddition, or the azaelectrocyclization to utilize the various biological techniques.

Rapid isolation of novel FK506 binding proteins from multiple organisms using gDNA and cDNA T7 phage display
摘要:
Reverse chemical proteomics using T7 phage display is a powerful technique for identifying cellular receptors of biologically active small molecules. However, to date this method has generally been limited to cDNA libraries constructed from mRNA isolated from eukaryotes. In this paper, we describe the construction of the first prokaryotic T7 phage display libraries from randomly digested Pseudomonas stutzeri and Vibrio fischeri gDNA, as well as a plant cDNA library from Arabidopsis thaliana. We also describe the use of T7 phage display to identify novel proteins from environmental DNA samples using biotinylated FK506 as a model affinity probe. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
