Abstract: | The application of the hyperactive glycosynthase derived from Agrobacterium sp. β-glucosidase (AbgE358G-2F6) to the synthesis of xylo-oligosaccharides by using -d-xylopyranosyl fluoride as donor represents the first successful use of glycosynthase technology for xylosyl transfer. Transfer to p-nitrophenyl β-d-glucopyranoside yields di- and trisaccharide products with β-(1→4) linkages in 63% and 35% yields, respectively. By contrast, transfer to p-nitrophenyl β-d-xylopyranoside yielded the β-(1→3) linked disaccharide and β-d-Xyl-(1→4)-β-d-Xyl-(1→3)-β-d-Xyl-pNP as major products in 42% and 30% yields, respectively. Transfer of xylose to β-d-Xyl-(1→4)-β-d-Xyl-pNP yielded the β-(1→4) linked trisaccharide in 98% yield, thereby indicating that transfers to xylo-disaccharides occur with formation of β-(1→4) bonds. Xylosylation of carbamate-protected deoxyxylonojirimycin produced a mixture of di- and tri-‘saccharide’ products in modest yields. |
