Glycopeptides as versatile tools for glycobiology.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This review describes the recent advances in the field of glycopeptide and small glycoprotein synthesis. The strategies covered include chemical and chemoenzymatic synthesis, native chemical ligation (NCL), and expressed chemical ligation. The importance of glycopeptide synthesis is exemplified by giving the reader an overview of how versatile and important these well-defined glycopeptides are as tools in glycobiology.

Chemoenzymatically synthesized multimeric Tn/STn MUC1 glycopeptides elicit cancer-specific anti-MUC1 antibody responses and override tolerance.
The MUC1 mucin represents a prime target antigen for cancer immunotherapy because it is abundantly expressed and aberrantly glycosylated in carcinomas. Attempts to generate strong humoral immunity to MUC1 by immunization with peptides have generally failed partly because of tolerance. In this study, we have developed chemoenzymatic synthesis of extended MUC1 TR glycopeptides with cancer-associa...
متن کاملIdentification of the hydrophobic glycoproteins of Caenorhabditis elegans.
Hydrophobic proteins such as integral membrane proteins are difficult to separate, and therefore to study, at a proteomics level. However, the Asn-linked (N-linked) carbohydrates (N-glycans) contained in membrane glycoproteins are important in differentiation, embryogenesis, inflammation, cancer and metastasis, and other vital cellular processes. Thus, the identification of these proteins and t...
متن کاملThe N-glycosylation sites of soybean seed coat peroxidase.
Tryptic digestion of apo-soybean peroxidase (apo-SBP), with and without acetamidation, chromatographic separation of the tryptic fragments and MALDI-TOF analysis of the major components, both before and after digestion with glycopeptidase A, demonstrated the presence of six carbohydrate groups on five peptides. Five of the glycopeptides can be mapped with confidence to the peptides containing A...
متن کاملStructural heterogeneity in the core oligosaccharide of the S-layer glycoprotein from Aneurinibacillus thermoaerophilus DSM 10155.
The surface layer glycoprotein of Aneurinibacillus thermoaerophilus DSM 10155 has a total carbohydrate content of 15% (by mass), consisting of O-linked oligosaccharide chains. After proteolytic digestion of the S-layer glycoprotein byPronase E and subsequent purification of the digestion products by gel permeation chromatography, chromatofocusing and high-performance liquid chromatography two g...
متن کاملN-glycoproteomics - an automated workflow approach.
Glycan decorations dictate protein functions and thus have crucial importance in life sciences. Previously glycoprotein analysis was mainly focused on the analysis of the liberated glycans allowing detailed structural, but lacking positional information. Analysis of intact glycopeptides required purified glycoproteins and manual interpretation of spectra. We developed an approach where mixtures...
