Probing the regiospecificity of enzyme-catalyzed steroid glycosylation.

ABSTRACT: The potential of a uniquely permissive engineered glycosyltransferase (OleD ASP) as a catalyst for steroid glycosylation is highlighted. The ability of OleD ASP to glucosylate a range of cardenolides and bufadienolides was assessed using a rapid LC-UV/MS-SPE-NMR analytical platform. While a bias toward OleD-catalyzed C3 monoglucosylation was observed, subtle alterations of the steroidal architecture, in some cases, invoked diglucosylation or, in one case (digoxigenin), C12 glucosylation. This latter case represents the first, and highly efficient, synthesis of digoxigenin 12-O-?-D-glucoside.

Probing the stereoselectivity of OleD-catalyzed glycosylation of cardiotonic steroids.

Project description:The glycosyltransferase OleD variant as a catalyst for the glycosylation of four pairs of epimers of cardiotonic steroids (CTS) are assessed. The results of this study demonstrated that the OleD-catalyze glycosylation of CTS is significantly influenced by the configuration at C-3 and the A/B fusion mode. 3β-OH and A/B ring cis fusion are favoured by OleD (ASP). An epoxide ring at C-14 and C-15 further increases the bioconversion rate; while an acetyl group at C-16 and lactone ring type at C-17 did not influence the biotransformation. A high conversion rate corresponded to a low K m value. A molecular docking simulation showed that filling of hydrophobic pocket II and interaction with residue Tyr115 may play an important role in the glycosylation reactions catalyzed by OleD glycosyltransferases. Furthermore, the glycosylation products showed a stronger inhibitory activity for Na+, K+-ATPase than the corresponding aglycones. This study provides the first stereoselective properties for OleD (ASP) catalyzed glycosylation.

Expanding Aminoglycoside Resistance Enzyme Regiospecificity by Mutation and Truncation.

Project description:Aminoglycosides (AGs) are broad-spectrum antibiotics famous for their antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as mycobacteria. In the United States, the most prescribed AGs, including amikacin (AMK), gentamicin (GEN), and tobramycin (TOB), are vital components of the treatment for resistant bacterial infections. Arbekacin (ABK), a semisynthetic AG, is widely used for the treatment of resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Asia. However, the rapid emergence and development of bacterial resistance are limiting the clinical application of AG antibiotics. Of all bacterial resistance mechanisms against AGs, the acquisition of AG-modifying enzymes (AMEs) by bacteria is the most common. It was previously reported that a variant of a bifunctional AME, the 6'-N-AG acetyltransferase-Ie/2?-O-AG phosphotransferase-Ia [AAC(6')-Ie/APH(2?)-Ia], containing a D80G point mutation and a truncation after amino acid 240 modified ABK and AMK at a new position, the 4?-amine, therefore displaying a change in regiospecificity. In this study, we aimed to verify the altered regiospecificity of this bifunctional enzyme by mutation and truncation for the potential of derivatizing AGs with chemoenzymatic reactions. With the three variant enzymes in this study that contained either mutation only (D80G), truncation only (1-240), or mutation and truncation (D80G-1-240), we characterized their activity by profiling their substrate promiscuity, determined their kinetics parameters, and performed mass spectrometry to determine how and where ABK and AMK were acetylated by these enzymes. We found that the three mutant enzymes possessed distinct acetylation regiospecificity compared to that of the bifunctional AAC(6')-Ie/APH(2?)-Ia enzyme and the functional AAC(6')-Ie domain [AAC(6')/APH(2?)-1-194].

Structural basis of regiospecificity of a mononuclear iron enzyme in antibiotic fosfomycin biosynthesis.

Project description:Hydroxypropylphosphonic acid epoxidase (HppE) is an unusual mononuclear iron enzyme that uses dioxygen to catalyze the oxidative epoxidation of (S)-2-hydroxypropylphosphonic acid (S-HPP) in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic fosfomycin. Additionally, the enzyme converts the R-enantiomer of the substrate (R-HPP) to 2-oxo-propylphosphonic acid. To probe the mechanism of HppE regiospecificity, we determined three X-ray structures: R-HPP with inert cobalt-containing enzyme (Co(II)-HppE) at 2.1 Å resolution; R-HPP with active iron-containing enzyme (Fe(II)-HppE) at 3.0 Å resolution; and S-HPP-Fe(II)-HppE in complex with dioxygen mimic NO at 2.9 Å resolution. These structures, along with previously determined structures of S-HPP-HppE, identify the dioxygen binding site on iron and elegantly illustrate how HppE is able to recognize both substrate enantiomers to catalyze two completely distinct reactions.

Montmorillonite Catalyzed Synthesis of Novel Steroid Dimers.

Project description:The reactions of sterols (androst-5-en-3β-ol-17-one, diosgenin, and cholesterol) and their tosylates with hydroquinone aimed at the synthesis of O,O-1,4-phenylene-linked steroid dimers were studied. The reaction course strongly depended on the conditions used. The study has shown that the major reaction products are the elimination products and unusual steroid dimers resulting from the nucleophilic attack of the hydroquinone C2 carbon atom on the steroid C3 position, followed by an intramolecular addition to the C5-C6 double bond. A different reaction course was observed when montmorillonite K10 was used as a catalyst. The reaction of androst-5-en-3β-ol-17-one under the promotion of this catalyst afforded the O,O-1,4-phenylene-linked steroid dimer in addition to the disteroidal ether. The formation of the latter compound was suppressed by using 3-tosylate as a substrate instead of the free sterol. The reactions of androst-5-en-3β-ol-17-one tosylate and cholesteryl tosylate with hydroquinone catalyzed by montmorillonite K10 carried out under optimized conditions afforded the desired dimers in 31% and 67% yield, respectively.

Probing mucin-type O-linked glycosylation in living animals.

Project description:Changes in O-linked protein glycosylation are known to correlate with disease states but are difficult to monitor in a physiological setting because of a lack of experimental tools. Here, we report a technique for rapid profiling of O-linked glycoproteins in living animals by metabolic labeling with N-azidoacetylgalactosamine (GalNAz) followed by Staudinger ligation with phosphine probes. After injection of mice with a peracetylated form of GalNAz, azide-labeled glycoproteins were observed in a variety of tissues, including liver, kidney, and heart, in serum, and on isolated splenocytes. B cell glycoproteins were robustly labeled with GalNAz but T cell glycoproteins were not, suggesting fundamental differences in glycosylation machinery or metabolism. Furthermore, GalNAz-labeled B cells could be selectively targeted with a phosphine probe by Staudinger ligation within the living animal. Metabolic labeling with GalNAz followed by Staudinger ligation provides a means for proteomic analysis of this posttranslational modification and for identifying O-linked glycoprotein fingerprints associated with disease.

Enzyme-catalyzed protein crosslinking.

Project description:The process of protein crosslinking comprises the chemical, enzymatic, or chemoenzymatic formation of new covalent bonds between polypeptides. This allows (1) the site-directed coupling of proteins with distinct properties and (2) the de novo assembly of polymeric protein networks. Transferases, hydrolases, and oxidoreductases can be employed as catalysts for the synthesis of crosslinked proteins, thereby complementing chemical crosslinking strategies. Here, we review enzymatic approaches that are used for protein crosslinking at the industrial level or have shown promising potential in investigations on the lab-scale. We illustrate the underlying mechanisms of crosslink formation and point out the roles of the enzymes in their natural environments. Additionally, we discuss advantages and drawbacks of the enzyme-based crosslinking strategies and their potential for different applications.

Characterizing Protein Glycosylation through On-Chip Glycan Modification and Probing.

Project description:Glycans are critical to protein biology and are useful as disease biomarkers. Many studies of glycans rely on clinical specimens, but the low amount of sample available for some specimens limits the experimental options. Here we present a method to obtain information about protein glycosylation using a minimal amount of protein. We treat proteins that were captured or directly spotted in small microarrays (2.2 mm × 2.2 mm) with exoglycosidases to successively expose underlying features, and then we probe the native or exposed features using a panel of lectins or glycan-binding reagents. We developed an algorithm to interpret the data and provide predictions about the glycan motifs that are present in the sample. We demonstrated the efficacy of the method to characterize differences between glycoproteins in their sialic acid linkages and N-linked glycan branching, and we validated the assignments by comparing results from mass spectrometry and chromatography. The amount of protein used on-chip was about 11 ng. The method also proved effective for analyzing the glycosylation of a cancer biomarker in human plasma, MUC5AC, using only 20 μL of the plasma. A glycan on MUC5AC that is associated with cancer had mostly 2,3-linked sialic acid, whereas other glycans on MUC5AC had a 2,6 linkage of sialic acid. The on-chip glycan modification and probing (on-chip GMAP) method provides a platform for analyzing protein glycosylation in clinical specimens and could complement the existing toolkit for studying glycosylation in disease.

Koenigs-Knorr Glycosylation Reaction Catalyzed by Trimethylsilyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate.

Project description:The discovery that traditional silver(I)-oxide-promoted glycosidations of glycosyl bromides (Koenigs-Knorr reaction) can be greatly accelerated in the presence of catalytic trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) is reported. The reaction conditions are very mild that allowed for maintaining a practically neutral pH and, at the same time, providing high rates and excellent glycosylation yields. In addition, unusual reactivity trends among a series of differentially protected glycosyl bromides were documented. In particular, benzoylated ?-bromides were much more reactive than their benzylated counterparts under these conditions.
