Abstract: | Lacto-N-tetraose (Galbeta1 -3GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4Glc, LNT) and lacto-N-neotetraose (Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4Glc, LNnT) were enzymatically synthesized by consecutive additions of GlcNAc and Gal residues to lactose. Lacto-N-triose II (GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4Glc) was prepared first by the transfer of GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to lactose by beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase from bovine serum. The resulting lacto-N-triose II was converted into LNT and LNnT utilizing two kinds of beta-D-galactosidase-mediated transglycosylations. Thus, beta-D-galactosidase from Bacillus circulans ATCC31382 induced regioselective galactosyl transfer from o-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactoside to the OH-3" position of lacto-N-triose II, and commercially available beta-D-galactosidase from B. circulans to the OH-4" position of lacto-N-triose II. These convenient processes are suitable for large-scale preparations of LNT and LNnT. As another method, LNT was directly synthesized from lactose as an initial substance, utilizing lacto-N-biosidase (Aureobacterium sp. L-101)-mediated transglycosylation with Galbeta1-3GlcNAcbeta-pNP donor. |
