A novel linear tetrasaccharide, Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6Gal1-4GlcNAc, was isolated from partial acid hydrolysates of metabolically labeled poly-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans of murine teratocarcinoma cells. It was characterized by exo-glycosidase sequencing and by mild acid hydrolysis followed by identification of all partial cleavage products. The tetrasaccharide, and likewise labelled GlcNAc1-6Gal1-4GlcNAc, resisted the action of endo--galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.103) fromE. freundii at a concentration of 125 mU/ml, while the isomeric, radioactive teratocarcinoma saccharides Gal1-4GlcNAc1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc and GlcNAc1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc were cleaved in the expected manner.Abbreviations WGA

GlcNAc1-2Man and GlcNAc1-6Man were synthesized using the reverse hydrolysis activity of -N-acetylglucosaminidase from both jack beans and Bacillus circulans. In turn, Gal1-4GlcNAc1-2Man and Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6Man were synthesized regioselectively using the transglycosylation activity of -galactosidase from Diplococcus pneumoniae and B. circulans, respectively. These di- and trisaccharides are important components of complex type sugar chains and will be used as intermediates in our synthetic studies.

A new approach for the highly specific preparation of L-serine conjugates of lactosamine and Gal1-3GalNAc is described. Thus, the L-serine derivative of lactosamine Gal1-4GlcNAc-O-(N-Z)-Ser-OEt, was obtained from lactose, employing GlcNAc-O-(N-Z)-Ser-OEt as acceptor and a yeast -galactosidase as catalyst Galp 1-3GalNAc-O-(N-Alloc)-Ser-OMe was obtained from lactose, employing GalNAc-O-(N-Alloc)-Ser-OMe as acceptor and -galactosidase from bovine testes as catalyst. 相似文献

Radiolabelled GlcNAc beta 1-3(GlcNAc beta 1-6)Gal (1), GlcNAc beta 1-3)GlcNAc beta 1-6)Gal beta 1-OCH3 (4), GlcNAc beta 1-3(GlcNAc beta 1-6)Gal beta 1-4Glc (7), and GlcNAc beta 1-3(GlcNAc beta 1-6)Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc (10) were cleaved partially with jack bean beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.30), and the digests were analysed chromatographically. All four oligosaccharides were hydrolysed faster at the (1-6) branch, than at the (1-3) branch, but a high branch specificity was observed only with the glycan 4. The saccharides 1 and 7 resembled each other in the kinetics of the enzyme-catalysed release of their two non-reducing N-acetylglucosamine units, but the glycan 10 was rather different. The partial digestions made it possible to obtain radiolabelled GlcNAc beta 1-6Gal, GlcNAc beta 1-6Gal beta 1-OCH3, GlcNAc beta 1-6Gal beta 1-4Glc, and, in particular, GlcNAc beta 1-6Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc. 相似文献

Endo--galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.103) ofBacteroides fragilis, at 250 mU ml–1, did not cleave the internal galactosidic linkage of the linear radiolabelled trisaccharide GlcNAc1-6Gal1-4GlcNAc, or those of the tetrasaccharides Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6Gal1-4GlcNAc and Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6Gal1-4Glc. The isomeric glycans which contained the GlcNAc1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc/Glc sequence were readily cleaved.Abbreviations GlcNAc

Gal1-3GlcNAc (1) and Gal1-3GlcNAc-SEt (2) were synthesized on a 100 mg scale by the transgalactosylation reaction of bovine testes -galactosidase with lactose as donor andN-acetylglucosamine and GlcNAc-SEt as acceptors. In both cases the product mixtures contained unwanted isomers and were treated with -galactosidase fromEscherichia coli which has a different specificity, under conditions favouring hydrolysis, yielding besides the desired products, monosaccharides and traces of trisaccharides. The products were purified to >95% by gel filtration, with a final yield of 12% of 1 and 17% of 2, based on added acceptor. In a separate experiment Gal1-6GlcNAc-SEt (3) was synthesized by the transglycosylation reaction using -galactosidase fromEscherichia coli. No other isomers were detected. Compound 3 was purified by HPLC. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies were prepared against the trisaccharide Gal1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc, a sequence which occurs on the surface of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells as well as in thyroglobulin, laminin and a variety of other proteins. This was accomplished by immunizing BALB/c mice with the fraction of Ehrlich cell membrane glycoproteins obtained by affinity chromatography on aGriffonia simplicifolia I (GS I) column which selectively binds -d-galactosyl-terminated structures. Detection of Gal1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc-specific antibodies was accomplished by employing glycoproteins containing the trisaccharide sequence; fusion with spleen cells from an immunized mouse was accomplished in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG1500). An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system was used to identify two clones (2.10G and 6.8E), which recognized the desired trisaccharide conjugate. These clones also recognized a thyroglobulin fraction isolated by GS I affinity chromatography and murine laminin, both of which possess the Gal1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc sequence. Inhibition of antibody-trisaccharide reactivity, examined employing an ELISA assay, revealed that two trisaccharides, Gal1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc/Glc, were the best inhibitory haptens; Gal1-4GlcNAc (LacNAc), Gal1-3Gal and Gal1-4Glc (lactose) were poor inhibitors. Indirect immunofluorescence staining of unfixed Ehrlich cells using the monoclonal antibody at 4° C revealed fluorescence over the entire cell surface. Indirect immunogold labeling of semithin and ultrathin sections of aldehyde fixed and Lowicryl K4M-embedded Ehrlich cells resulted in specific labeling of the cell surface and internal structure. Immunoblot analysis revealed that removal of the -galactosyl residues of laminin by -galactosidase abolished reactivity with the monoclonal antibodies. The availability of this antibody, which belongs to the IgM family of immunoglobulins, now makes possible the detection of this sugar sequence on cells and tissue sections, as well as on glycoproteins in solution. 相似文献

There is emerging evidence that chitinases have additional functions beyond degrading environmental chitin, such as involvement in innate and acquired immune responses, tissue remodeling, fibrosis, and serving as virulence factors of bacterial pathogens. We have recently shown that both the human chitotriosidase and a chitinase from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium hydrolyze LacNAc from Galβ1–4GlcNAcβ-tetramethylrhodamine (LacNAc-TMR (Galβ1–4GlcNAcβ(CH2)8CONH(CH2)2NHCO-TMR)), a fluorescently labeled model substrate for glycans found in mammals. In this study we have examined the binding affinities of the Salmonella chitinase by carbohydrate microarray screening and found that it binds to a range of compounds, including five that contain LacNAc structures. We have further examined the hydrolytic specificity of this enzyme and chitinases from Sodalis glossinidius and Polysphondylium pallidum, which are phylogenetically related to the Salmonella chitinase, as well as unrelated chitinases from Listeria monocytogenes using the fluorescently labeled substrate analogs LacdiNAc-TMR (GalNAcβ1–4GlcNAcβ-TMR), LacNAc-TMR, and LacNAcβ1–6LacNAcβ-TMR. We found that all chitinases examined hydrolyzed LacdiNAc from the TMR aglycone to various degrees, whereas they were less active toward LacNAc-TMR conjugates. LacdiNAc is found in the mammalian glycome and is a common motif in invertebrate glycans. This substrate specificity was evident for chitinases of different phylogenetic origins. Three of the chitinases also hydrolyzed the β1–6 bond in LacNAcβ1–6LacNAcβ-TMR, an activity that is of potential importance in relation to mammalian glycans. The enzymatic affinities for these mammalian-like structures suggest additional functional roles of chitinases beyond chitin hydrolysis. 相似文献

The tetrasaccharides GalNAcß1-4[NeuAc2-3]Galß1-4Glc and GalNAcß1-4[NeuAc2-3]Galß1-4GlcNAc were synthesised by enzymic transfer of GalNAc from UDP-GalNAc to 3-sialyllactose (NeuAc2-3Galß1-4Glc) and 3-sialyl-N-acetyllactosamine (NeuAc2-3Galß1-4GlcNAc). The structures of the products were established by methylation and1H-500 MHz NMR spectroscopy. In Sda serological tests the product formed with 3-sialyl-N-acetyllactosamine was highly active whereas that formed with 3-sialyllactose had only weak activity. 相似文献

Relative affinities of several fucosylated and nonfucosylated oligo-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans for immobilized wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) were studied using a chromatographic technique. (1-3) Fucosylation of theN-acetylglucosamine unit(s) in mono- and biantennary saccharides of the Gal1-4GlcNAc-R type strongly reduced the WGA-affinity. In contrast, (1-2) fucosylation of the nonreducing galactose unit(s) of the saccharides did not reduce the affinity. 相似文献

To elucidate control mechanisms ofO-glycan biosynthesis in leukemia and to develop biosynthetic inhibitors we have characterized core 2 UDP-GlcNAc:Gal1-3GalNAc-R(GlcNAc to GalNAc) 6-N-acetylglucosaminyl-transferase (EC 2.4.1.102; core 2 6-GlcNAc-T) and CMP-sialic acid: Gal1-3GalNAc-R 3-sialyltransferase (EC 2.4.99.4; 3-SA-T), two enzymes that are significantly increased in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We observed distinct tissue-specific kinetic differences for the core 2 6-GlcNAc-T activity; core 2 6-GlcNAc-T from mucin secreting tissue (named core 2 6-GlcNAc-T M) is accompanied by activities that synthesize core 4 [GlcNAc1-6(GlcNAc1-3)GalNAc-R] and blood group I [GlcNAc1-6(GlcNAc1-3)Gal-R] branches; core 2 6-GlcNAc-T in leukemic cells (named core 2 -GlcNAc-T L) is not accompanied by these two activities and has a more restricted specificity. Core 2 6-GlcNAc-T M and L both have an absolute requirement for the 4- and 6-hydroxyls ofN-acetylgalactosamine and the 6-hydroxyl of galactose of the Gal1-3GalNAc-benzyl substrate but the recognition of other substituents of the sugar rings varies, depending on the tissue. 3-sialytransferase from human placenta and from AML cells also showed distinct specificity differences, although the enzymes from both tissues have an absolute requirement for the 3-hydroxyl of the galactose residue of Gal1-3GalNAc-Bn. Gal1-3(6-deoxy)GalNAc-Bn and 3-deoxy-Gal1-3GalNAc-Bn competitively inhibited core 2 6-GlcNAc-T and 3-sialyltransferase activities, respectively.Abbreviations AFGP

Glycosylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications. It is clear that the single step of β1,4-galactosylation
is performed by a family of β1,4-galactosyltransferases (β1,4-GalTs), and that each member of this family may play a distinct
role in different tissues and cells. β1,4-GalT I and V are involved in the biosynthesis of N-linked oligosaccharides and play
roles in sciatic nerve regeneration after sciatic nerve injury. In the present study, the expression of β1,4-galactosyltransferase
(β1,4-GalT) I, V mRNAs and Galβ1-4GlcNAc group were examined in rat gastrocnemius muscles after sciatic nerve crush and transection.
Real time PCR revealed that β1,4-GalT I and V mRNAs expressed at a high level in normal gastrocnemius muscles and decreased
gradually from 6 h, reached the lowest level at 2 weeks, then restored gradually to relatively normal level at 4 weeks after
sciatic nerve crush. In contrast, in sciatic nerve transection model, β1,4-GalT I and V mRNAs decreased gradually from 6 h,
and remained on a low level at 4 weeks in gastrocnemius muscles after sciatic nerve transection. In situ hybridization indicated that β1,4-GalT I and V mRNAs localized in numerous myocytes and muscle satellite cells under normal
conditions and at 4 weeks after sciatic nerve crush, and in a few muscle satellite cells at 4 weeks after sciatic nerve transection.
Furthermore, lectin blotting showed that the expression level of the Galβ1–4GlcNAc group decreased from 6 h, reached the lowest
level at 2 weeks, and restored to relatively normal level at 4 weeks after sciatic nerve crush. RCA-I lectin histochemistry
demonstrated that Galβ1–4GlcNAc group localized in numerous membranes of myocytes and muscle satellite cells in normal and
at 4 weeks after sciatic nerve crush, and in a few muscle satellite cells at 2 and 4 weeks after sciatic nerve transection.
These results indicated that the expressions of β1,4-GalT I, V mRNAs and Galβ1–4GlcNAc group were involved in the process
of denervation and reinnervation, which suggests that β1,4-GalT I, V mRNAs and Galβ1-4GlcNAc group may play an important role
in the muscle regeneration. 相似文献

The trisaccharide Gal13Gal14GlcNAc1O-(CH2)8COOCH3 was enzymatically synthesized, within situ UDP-Gal regeneration. By combination in one pot of only four enzymes, namely, sucrose synthase, UDP-Glc 4-epimerase, UDP-Gal:GlcNAc 4-galactosyltransferase and UDP-Gal:Gal14GlcNAc 3-galactosyltransferase, Gal13Gal14GlcNAc1O-(CH2)8COOCH3 was formed in a 2.2 µmol ml–1 yield starting from the acceptor GlcNAc1O-(CH2)8COOCH3. This is an efficient and convenient method for the synthesis of the Gal13Gal14GlcNAc epitope which plays an important role in various biological and immunological processes. 相似文献

Anosmin is an extracellular matrix protein, and genetic defects in anosmin result in human Kallmann syndrome. It functions in neural crest formation, cell adhesion, and neuronal migration. Anosmin consists of multiple domains, and it has been reported to bind heparan sulfate, FGF receptor, and UPA. In this study, we establish cell adhesion/spreading assays for anosmin and use them for antibody inhibition analyses to search for an integrin adhesion receptor. We find that α5β1, α4β1, and α9β1 integrins are needed for effective adhesive receptor function in cell adhesion and cell spreading on anosmin; adhesion is inhibited by both RGD and α4β1 CS1-based peptides. This identification of anosmin-integrin adhesion receptors should facilitate studies of anosmin function in cell and developmental biology. 相似文献

Family 16 carbohydrate active enzyme members Bacillus licheniformis 1,3-1,4-β-glucanase and Populus tremula x tremuloides xyloglucan endotransglycosylase (XET16-34) are highly structurally related but display different substrate specificities. Although the first binds linear gluco-oligosaccharides, the second binds branched xylogluco-oligosaccharides. Prior engineered nucleophile mutants of both enzymes are glycosynthases that catalyze the condensation between a glycosyl fluoride donor and a glycoside acceptor. With the aim of expanding the glycosynthase technology to produce designer oligosaccharides consisting of hybrids between branched xylogluco- and linear gluco-oligosaccharides, enzyme engineering on the negative subsites of 1,3-1,4-β-glucanase to accept branched substrates has been undertaken. Removal of the 1,3-1,4-β-glucanase major loop and replacement with that of XET16-34 to open the binding cleft resulted in a folded protein, which still maintained some β-glucan hydrolase activity, but the corresponding nucleophile mutant did not display glycosynthase activity with either linear or branched glycosyl donors. Next, point mutations of the 1,3-1,4-β-glucanase β-sheets forming the binding site cleft were mutated to resemble XET16-34 residues. The final chimeric protein acquired binding affinity for xyloglucan and did not bind β-glucan. Therefore, binding specificity has been re-engineered, but affinity was low and the nucleophile mutant of the chimeric enzyme did not show glycosynthase activity to produce the target hybrid oligosaccharides. Structural analysis by X-ray crystallography explains these results in terms of changes in the protein structure and highlights further engineering approaches toward introducing the desired activity. 相似文献

Abstract ROESY and NOESY NMR spectroscopic analyses of the ribofuranosyl (1a), 2′-deoxyribofuranosyl (1b), and arabinofuranosyl (1c) derivatives of 6-formyluracil in (CD3)2SO and D2O solutions have established that each exclusive 7,05′-cyclic hemiacetal diastereomer of 1a,b and the major 7,O2′-cyclic hemiacetal diastereomer of 1c possess the 7R configuration. In addition, (7R)-1c has been shown to be thermodynamically more stable than (7S)-1c, contrary to our previous indication. A new, higher yielding synthetic route to 1a has been developed, 1b has been obtained for the first time in crystalline form, the route to 1c has been modified to better accommodate large scale preparations, and a new, fourth member of this class, 6-formylthymidine (1d), has been synthesized and its solution structures in (CD3)2SO, D2O, and CD3OD have been determined. Antitumor and antiviral evaluations of 1a-c have revealed no significant levels of activity. 相似文献

Summary Two specific -N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases involved in the branching and elongation of mucin oligosaccharide chains, namely, a 1,6 N-acetylglucosaminylsaminyltransferase that transfers N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to Gal3GalNAc-Mucin to yield Gal3(GlcNAc6)GalNAc-Mucin and a 3-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase that transfers N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to Gal3(GlcNAC6)GalNAc-mucin to yield GlcNAc3Gal3 (GlcNAc6)GalNAc-Mucin were purified from the microsomal fraction of swine trachea epithelium. The 1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase was purified about 21,800-fold by procedures which included affinity chromatography on DEAE columns containing bound asialo Cowper's gland mucin glycoprotein with Gal1,3GalNAc side chains. The apparent molecular weight estimated by gel filtration was found to be about 60 Kd. The purified enzyme showed a high specificity for Gal1,3GalNAc chains and the most active substrates were mucin glycoproteins containing these chains. The apparent Km of the 6-glucosaminyltrans-ferase for Cowper's gland mucin glycoprotein containing Gal1,3GalNAc chains was 0.53 µM; for UDP-N-acetylglucosamine, 12 µM; and for Gal 1,3GalNAc NO2ø, 4 mM. The activity of the 6-glucosaminyltransferase was dependent on the extent of glycosylation of the Gal3GalNAc chains in Cowper's gland mucin glycoprotein.The best substrate for the partially purified 3-Glucosaminyltransferase was Cowper's gland mucin glycoprotein containing Gal1,3(GlcNAc6)GalNAc side chains. This enzyme showed little or no activity with intact sialylated Cowper's gland mucin glycoprotein or derivatives of this glycoprotein containing GalNAc or Gal1,3GalNAc side chains.The radioactive oligosaccharides formed by these enzymes in large scale reaction mixtures were released from the mucin glycoproteins by treatment with alkaline borohydride, isolated by gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-6 and characterized by methylation analysis and sequential digestion with exoglycosidases. The oligosaccharide products formed by the 6- and 3-glucosaminyltransferases were shown to be Gal3(GlcNAC6) GalNAc and GlcNAc3 Gal3(GlcNAC6)GalNAc respectively.Taken collectively, these results demonstrate that swine trachea epithelium contains two specific N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases which catalyze the initial branching and elongation reactions involved in the synthesis of O-linked oligosaccharide chains in respiratory mucin glycoproteins. The first enzyme a 6-glucosaminyltransferase converts Gal3GalNAc chains in mucin glycoproteins to Gal3(GlcNAc6)GalNAc chains. This product is the substrate for a second 3-glucosaminyltransferase which converts the Gal3(GlcNAc6)GalNAc chains to GlcNAc3Gal(GlcNAc6)GalNAc chains in the glycoprotein. The 3-glucosaminyltransferase did not utilize Gal3GalNAc chains as a substrate and this results in an ordered sequence of addition of N-acetylglucosamine residues to growing oligosaccharide chains in tracheal mucin glycoproteins.Abbreviations NeuNAc

Summary A large form of endo--1, 4-glucanase (endoglucanase) encoded byBacillus subtilis BSE616 gene inB. megaterium (pCK98) was exocellularly produced at early log phase. The C-terminal portion of the secreted enzyme of 52 kilodaltons (Kd) was gradually cleaved and then converted to the smallest product of 33 Kd. N-terminal amino acid residues of both 52 Kd and 33 Kd enzyme were determined to be the same, Ala, the 30th residue of the primary translation product. Cleavage of the C-terminal portion increased specific and molecular activity of the enzyme. 相似文献

Carbohydrate structures between retinal neurons and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) play an important role in maintaining the integrity of retinal adhesion to underlying RPE, and in retinal detachment pathogenesis. Since relevant knowledge is still in the primary stage, glycotopes on the adult retina of mongrel canines (dog), micropigs and Sprague-Dawley rats were examined by lectino-histochemistry, using a panel of 16 different lectins. Paraffin sections of eyes were stained with biotinylated lectins, and visualized by streptavidin-peroxidase and diaminobenzidine staining. Mapping the affinity profiles, it is concluded that: (i) all sections of the retina reacted well with Morniga M, suggesting that N-linked glycans are present in all layers of the retina; (ii) no detectable human blood group ABH active glycotopes were found among retinal layers; (iii) outer and inner segments contained glycoconjugates rich in ligands reacting with T
α (Galβ1–3GalNAcα1-Ser/Thr) and Tn (GalNAcα1-Ser/Thr) specific lectins; (iv) cone cells of retina specifically bound peanut agglutinin (PNA), which recognizes T
α residues and could be used as a specific marker for these photoreceptors; (v) the retinas of rat, dog and pig, had a similar binding profile but with different intensity; (vi) each retinal layer had its own binding characteristic. This information may provide useful background knowledge for normal retinal physiology and miscellaneous retinal diseases, including retinal detachment (RD) and age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). 相似文献

Baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) is widely known as a mass-production tool to produce functional recombinant glycoproteins except that it may not be always suitable for medical practice due to the differences in the structure of N-linked glycans between insects and mammalian. Currently, various approaches have been reported to alter N-linked glycan structures of glycoproteins derived from insects into terminally sialylated complex-type N-glycans. In the light of those studies, we also proposed in vitro maturation of N-glycan with mass-produced and purified glycosyltransferases by silkworm–BEVS. β-1,4-Galactosyltransferase 1 (β4GalT1) is known as one of type II transmembrane enzymes that transfer galactose in a β-1, 4 linkage to accepter sugars, and a key enzyme for further sialylation of N-glycans. In this study, we developed a large-scale production of recombinant human β4GalT1 (rhβ4GalT1) with N- or C-terminal tags in silkworm–BEVS. We demonstrated that rhβ4GalT1 is N-glycosylated and without mucin-type glycosylation. Interestingly, we found that purified rhβ4GalT1 from silkworm serum presented higher galactosyltransferase activity than that expressed from cultured mammalian cells. We also validated the UDP-galactose transferase activity of produced rhβ4GalT1 proteins by using protein subtracts from silkworm silk gland. Taken together, rhβ4GalT1 from silkworms can become a valuable tool for producing high-quality recombinant glycoproteins with mammalian-like N-glycans. 相似文献
