Glycosyltransferase-catalyzed synthesis of thiooligosaccharides.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Oligosaccharide analogues in which the interglycosidic oxygen atom(s) have been replaced by sulfur are known as thiooligosaccharides. These molecules are metabolically stable analogues of their naturally occurring counterparts, since the rate of hydrolysis of the thioglycosidic bond by glycosylhydrolases is several orders of magnitude slower than that of the corresponding Oglycosides and the conformational space sampled by S-linked glycosides is similar to that of O-glycosides. In combination, these properties suggest that S-linked carbohydrates may be attractive antigens with extended in vivo activity,1 and the ability of glycosyltransferases to create such linkages has significant potential. Considerable attention has been focused on the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides containing S-linked residues and a variety of chemical approaches are available to construct this linkage.2 Most thiooligosaccharide syntheses take advantage of the reduced basicity and enhanced nucleophilicity of sulfur compared to oxygen, employing a sugar thiol or thiolate anion in a reaction with another carbohydrate bearing an electrophilic leaving group. Recently active site mutants of glycosylhydrolases, termed “thioglycoligases” have been shown to transfer a glycosyl residue to sugar thiols.3 The development of a glycosyltransferase-based approach to the synthesis of thiooligosaccharides does not obviate the considerable effort required for the construction of thiosugar acceptors. However, this method demonstrates the high yields, stereo-, and regio-selectivities characteristic of glycosyltransferase catalyzed reactions, and renders a final deprotection step unnecessary

Using Simple Donors to Drive the Equilibria of Glycosyltransferase-Catalyzed Reactions
We report that simple glycoside donors can drastically shift the equilibria of glycosyltransferase-catalyzed reactions, transforming NDP-sugar formation from an endothermic to an exothermic process. To demonstrate the utility of this thermodynamic adaptability, we highlight the glycosyltransferase-catalyzed synthesis of 22 sugar nucleotides from simple aromatic sugar donors, as well as the corr...
متن کاملLeloir Glycosyltransferases and Natural Product Glycosylation: Biocatalytic Synthesis of the C-Glucoside Nothofagin, a Major Antioxidant of Redbush Herbal Tea
Nothofagin is a major antioxidant of redbush herbal tea and represents a class of bioactive flavonoid-like C-glycosidic natural products. We developed an efficient enzymatic synthesis of nothofagin based on a one-pot coupled glycosyltransferase-catalyzed transformation that involves perfectly selective 3'-C-β-d-glucosylation of naturally abundant phloretin and applies sucrose as expedient gluco...

This paper describes the study of 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) regeneration from 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphate (PAP) for use in practical syntheses of carbohydrate sulfates which are catalyzed by sulfotransferases. Among the regeneration systems, the one with recombinant aryl sulfotransferase proved to be the most practical. This regeneration system was coupled with a sulfotr...
