Abstract: | The beta-D-galactosidase from porcine liver induced regiospecific transglycosylation of beta-D-galactose from beta-D-Gal-OC6H4NO2-o to OH-6 of, respectively, p-nitrophenyl glycoside acceptors of Gal, GlcNAc and GalNAc to afford beta-Gal-(1-->6)-alpha-Gal-OC6H4NO2-p, beta-Gal-(1--> 6)-beta-Gal-OC6H4NO2-p, beta-Gal-(1-->6)-alpha-GalNAc-OC6H4NO2-p, beta-Gal-(1-->6)-beta-GalNAc-OC6H4NO2-p, beta-Gal-(1-->6)-alpha-GlcNAc-OC6H4NO2-p, and beta-Gal-(1-->6)-beta-GlcNAc-OC6H4NO2-p. The enzyme showed much higher transglycosylation activity for the alpha-glycoside acceptors than the corresponding beta-glycoside acceptors. The regioselectivity of the beta-D-galactosidase from Bacillus circulans ATCC 31382 greatly depended on the nature of the acceptor. When alpha-D-GalNAc-OC6H4NO2-p and alpha-D-GlcNAc-OC6H4NO2-p were used as acceptors, the enzyme showed high potency for regioselective synthesis of beta-Gal-(1-->3)-alpha-GalNAc-OC6H4NO2-p and beta-Gal-(1-->3)-alpha-GlcNAc-OC6H4NO2-p in high respective yields of 75.9 and 79.3% based on the acceptors added. However, replacement of beta-D-Gal-OC6H4NO2-p by beta-D-GalNAc-OC6H4NO2-p did change the direction of galactosylation. The enzyme formed regioselectively beta-Gal-(1-->6)-beta-Gal-OC6H4NO2-p with (beta-Gal-1-->(6-beta-Gal-1-->)n6-beta-Gal-OC6H4NO2-p, n = 1-4). No beta-(1-->3)-linked product was detected during the reaction. Use of the two readily available beta-D-galactosidases facilitates the preparation of (1-->3)- and (1-->6)-linked disaccharide glycosides of beta-D-Gal-GalNAc and beta-D-Gal-GlcNAc. |
