An Efficient Chemoenzymatic Approach towards the Synthesis of Rugulactone.

ABSTRACT: Rugulactone is a natural product isolated from the plant Cryptocarya rugulosa. It has shown very important biological activity as an inhibitor of the nuclear factor ?B (NF-?B) activation pathway. A new chemoenzymatic approach towards the synthesis of rugulactone is presented here. The chirality, induced to the key intermediate by a stereoselective enzymatic reduction utilizing NADPH-dependent ketoreductase, is described in detail.

Rugulactone is a natural product isolated from the plant <i>Cryptocarya rugulosa</i>. It has shown very important biological activity as an inhibitor of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activation pathway. A new chemoenzymatic approach towards the synthesis of rugulactone is presented here. The chirality, induced to the key intermediate by a stereoselective enzymatic reduction utilizing NADPH-dependent ketoreductase, is described in detail. ...[more]

An Efficient Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Dihydroartemisinic Aldehyde.

Project description:Artemisinin from the plant Artemisia annua is the most potent pharmaceutical for the treatment of malaria. In the plant, the sesquiterpene cyclase amorphadiene synthase, a cytochrome-dependent CYP450, and an aldehyde reductase convert farnesyl diphosphate (FDP) into dihydroartemisinic aldehyde (DHAAl), which is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of artemisinin and a semisynthetic precursor for its chemical synthesis. Here, we report a chemoenzymatic process that is able to deliver DHAAl using only the sesquiterpene synthase from a carefully designed hydroxylated FDP derivative. This process, which reverses the natural order of cyclization of FDP and oxidation of the sesquiterpene hydrocarbon, provides a significant improvement in the synthesis of DHAAl and demonstrates the potential of substrate engineering in the terpene synthase mediated synthesis of high-value natural products.

Efficient Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of an N-glycan Isomer Library.

Project description:Quantification, characterization and biofunctional studies of N-glycans on proteins remain challenging tasks due to complexity, diversity and low abundance of these glycans. The availability of structurally defined N-glycans (especially isomers) libraries is essential to help on solving these tasks. We reported herein an efficient chemoenzymatic strategy, namely Core Synthesis/Enzymatic Extension (CSEE), for rapid production of diverse N-glycans. Starting with 5 chemically prepared building blocks, 8 N-glycan core structures containing one or two terminal N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) residue(s) were chemically synthesized via consistent use of oligosaccharyl thioethers as glycosylation donors in the convergent fragment coupling strategy. Each of these core structures was then extended to 5 to 15 N-glycan sequences by enzymatic reactions catalyzed by 4 robust glycosyltransferases. Success in synthesizing N-glycans with Neu5Gc and core-fucosylation further expanded the ability of enzymatic extension. High performance liquid chromatography with an amide column enabled rapid and efficient purification (>98% purity) of N-glycans in milligram scales. A total of 73 N-glycans (63 isomers) were successfully prepared and characterized by MS2 and NMR. The CSEE strategy provides a practical approach for "mass production" of structurally defined N-glycans, which are important standards and probes for Glycoscience.

Highly efficient chemoenzymatic synthesis of β1-3-linked galactosides.

Project description:A novel D-galactosyl-β1-3-N-acetyl-D-hexosamine phosphorylase cloned from Bifidobacterium infantis (BiGalHexNAcP) was used with a recombinant E. coli K-12 galactokinase (GalK) for efficient one-pot two-enzyme synthesis of T-antigens, galacto-N-biose (Galβ1-3GalNAc), lacto-N-biose (Galβ1-3GlcNAc), and their derivatives.

Efficient chemoenzymatic synthesis of novel galacto-N-biose derivatives and their sialylated forms.

Project description:Galacto-N-biose (GNB) derivatives were efficiently synthesized from galactose derivatives via a one-pot two-enzyme system containing two promiscuous enzymes from Bifidobacterium infantis: a galactokinase (BiGalK) and a d-galactosyl-?1-3-N-acetyl-d-hexosamine phosphorylase (BiGalHexNAcP). Mono-sialyl and di-sialyl galacto-N-biose derivatives were then prepared using a one-pot two-enzyme system containing a CMP-sialic acid synthetase and an ?2-3-sialyltransferase or an ?2-6-sialyltransferase.

Efficient Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of N-Glycans with a β1,4-Galactosylated Bisecting GlcNAc Motif.

Project description:In human serum immunoglobulin G (IgG), a rare modification of biantennary complex N-glycans lead to a β1,4-galactosylated bisecting GlcNAc branch. We found that the bisecting GlcNAc on a biantennary core-fucosylated N-glycan was enzymatically galactosylated under stringent reaction conditions. Further optimizations led to an efficient enzymatic approach to this particular modification for biantennary substrates. Notably, tri- and tetra-antennary complex N-glycans were not converted by bovine galactosyltransferase. An N-glycan with a galactosylated bisecting GlcNAc was linked to a lanthanide binding tag. The pseudo-contact shifts (PCS) obtained from the corresponding Dy-complex were used to calculate the conformational preferences of the rare N-glycan. Besides two extended conformations only a single folded conformation was found.

Highly efficient chemoenzymatic synthesis and facile purification of ?-Gal pentasaccharyl ceramide Gal?3nLc4?Cer.

Project description:A highly efficient chemoenzymatic method for synthesizing glycosphingolipids using ?-Gal pentasaccharyl ceramide as an example is reported here. Enzymatic extension of the chemically synthesized lactosyl sphingosine using efficient sequential one-pot multienzyme (OPME) reactions allowed glycosylation to be carried out in aqueous solutions. Facile C18 cartridge-based quick (<30 minutes) purification protocols were established using minimal amounts of green solvents (CH3CN and H2O). Simple acylation in the last step led to the formation of the target glycosyl ceramide in 4 steps with an overall yield of 57%.

Glycosynthases enable a highly efficient chemoenzymatic synthesis of N-glycoproteins carrying intact natural N-glycans.

Project description:Homogeneous N-glycoproteins carrying defined natural N-glycans are essential for detailed structural and functional studies. The transglycosylation activity of the endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidases from Arthrobacter protophormiae (Endo-A) and Mucor hiemalis (Endo-M) holds great potential for glycoprotein synthesis, but the wild-type enzymes are not practical for making glycoproteins carrying native N-glycans because of their predominant activity for product hydrolysis. In this article, we report studies of two endoglycosidase-based glycosynthases, EndoM-N175A and EndoA-N171A, and their usefulness in constructing homogeneous N-glycoproteins carrying natural N-glycans. The oligosaccharide oxazoline corresponding to the biantennary complex-type N-glycan was synthesized and tested with the two glycosynthases. The EndoM-N175A mutant was able to efficiently transfer the complex-type glycan oxazoline to a GlcNAc peptide and GlcNAc-containing ribonuclease to form the corresponding homogeneous glycopeptide/glycoprotein. The EndoA-N171A mutant did not recognize the complex-type N-glycan oxazoline but could efficiently use the high-mannose-type glycan oxazoline for transglycosylation. These mutants possess the transglycosylation activity but lack the hydrolytic activity toward the product. Kinetic studies revealed that the dramatically enhanced synthetic efficiency of the EndoA-N171A mutant was due to the significantly reduced hydrolytic activity toward both the Man(9)GlcNAc oxazoline and the product as well as to its enhanced activity for transglycosylation. Thus, the two mutants described here represent the first endoglycosidase-based glycosynthases enabling a highly efficient synthesis of homogeneous natural N-glycoproteins.

Highly efficient chemoenzymatic synthesis of beta1-4-linked galactosides with promiscuous bacterial beta1-4-galactosyltransferases.

Project description:Two bacterial beta1-4-galactosyltransferases, NmLgtB and Hp1-4GalT, exhibit promiscuous and complementary acceptor substrate specificity. They have been used in an efficient one-pot multienzyme system to synthesize LacNAc, lactose, and their derivatives including those containing negatively charged 6-O-sulfated GlcNAc and C2-substituted GlcNAc or Glc, from monosaccharide derivatives and inexpensive Glc-1-P.
