New approaches to glycoconjugate synthesis
Absnuct: Generally convergent strategies are employed in glyconjugate synthesis, hence the oligosaccharide moiety and the aglycon moiety are separately prepared and then linked to yield the target molecule; for glycopeptides linear synthesis strategies are more successful. The importance of p-glycosidic linkages of glucosamine and galactosamine in glycoconjugates was reason for the development ...
متن کاملEvidence for a novel enzymatic mechanism of neural crest cell migration on extracellular glycoconjugate matrices
Migrating embryonic cells have high levels of cell surface galactosyltransferase (GalTase) activity. It has been proposed that GalTase participates during migration by recognizing and binding to terminal N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues on glycoconjugates within the extracellular matrix (Shur, B. D., 1982, Dev. Biol. 91:149-162). We tested this hypothesis using migrating neural crest cells...
متن کاملEnzymatic and chemo-enzymatic synthesis of carbohydrates
Carbohydrate-mediated biochemical recognition processes are potential targets for drug development. The synthesis of complex carbohydrates and related structures, however, has been a difficult task, especially from practical point of view. New solutionand solidphase methods based on enzymatic and a combined enzymatic and chemical procedure have recently been developed for the practical synthesi...
متن کاملEnzymatic production of glucosamine and chitooligosaccharides using newly isolated exo-β-d-glucosaminidase having transglycosylation activity
Exochitosanase secreting fungus (A. fumigatus IIT-004) was isolated from fish waste using 1 % (w/v) chitosan as sole carbon source after multistage screening. Chitosan-dependent exochitosanase enzyme production (6 IU ml-1) in log phase of growth (chitosan utilization rate 0.11 g g-1 cell h-1) was observed for Aspergillus fumigatus in chitosan minimal salt medium and there was no enzyme producti...
متن کاملSynthesis of glycoconjugate fragments of mycobacterial phosphatidylinositol mannosides and lipomannan
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causitive agent of tuberculosis (TB), possesses a complex cell wall containing mannose-rich glycophospholids termed phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIMs), lipomannan (LM), and lipoarabinomannan (LAM). These glycophospholipids play important roles in cell wall function and host-pathogen interactions. Synthetic PIM/LM/LAM substructures are useful biochemical tools...
