Synthesis of a carboxyl linker containing Pk trisaccharide.

چکیده
An efficient synthesis of a Pk trisaccharide with a functionalized side arm at the reducing end for conjugation to other molecules is presented. Construction of the Pk trisaccharide with a high alpha-selectivity was achieved in high yield by coupling a reactive galactosyl phosphite donor with a lactosyl acceptor.

Binding of Pk-trisaccharide analogs of globotriaosylceramide to Shiga toxin variants.
The two major forms of Shiga toxin, Stx1 and Stx2, use the glycolipid globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) as their cellular receptor. Stx1 primarily recognizes the Pk-trisaccharide portion and has three Pk binding sites per B monomer. The Stx2a subtype requires glycolipid residues in addition to Pk. We synthesized analogs of Pk to examine the binding preferences of Stx1 and Stx2 subtypes a to d. Furthe...
متن کاملThe design and synthesis of an α-Gal trisaccharide epitope that provides a highly specific anti-Gal immune response.
Carbohydrate antigens displaying Galα(1,3)Gal epitopes are recognized by naturally occurring antibodies in humans. These anti-Gal antibodies comprise up to 1% of serum IgG and have been viewed as detrimental as they are responsible for hyperacute organ rejections. In order to model this condition, α(1,3)galactosyltransferase-knockout mice are inoculated against the Galα(1,3)Gal epitope. In our ...
متن کاملStructural requirements of synthetic oligosaccharides to bind monoclonal antibodies against Chlamydia lipopolysaccharide.
Monoclonal antibodies were generated against a synthetic glycoconjugate containing the trisaccharide alpha-Kdo-(2-->8)-alpha-Kdo-(2-->4)-alpha-Kdo (Kdo, 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulopyranosonic acid) which represents the genus-specific epitope of the lipopolysaccharide from the obligatory intracellular human pathogen Chlamydia. Antibodies of all immunoglobulin G isotypes were obtained and characteri...
متن کاملCharge-Transfer Interactions of Aliphatic Amino Acids with Metal Ions
The effect of various non-SH-containing amino acids on an electron spin resonance spectrum as well as on an optical absorption spectrum of an aqueous copper (II) solution was investigated. The data obtained indicate that a charge-transfer complex is formed with amino acids acting as electron donors. A plot of the wavelength of the CT-band vs. the pK values of the carboxyl group exhibits a strai...
متن کاملConversion of a non-selective adenosine receptor antagonist into A3-selective high affinity fluorescent probes using peptide-based linkers.
Advances in fluorescence-based imaging technologies have helped propel the study of real-time biological readouts and analysis across many different areas. In particular the use of fluorescent ligands as chemical tools to study proteins such as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) has received ongoing interest. Methods to improve the efficient chemical synthesis of fluorescent ligands remain of ...
