Cell-Free Multi-Enzyme Synthesis and Purification of Uridine Diphosphate Galactose.

ABSTRACT: High costs and low availability of UDP-galactose hampers the enzymatic synthesis of valuable oligosaccharides such as human milk oligosaccharides. Here, we report the development of a platform for the scalable, biocatalytic synthesis and purification of UDP-galactose. UDP-galactose was produced with a titer of 48 mM (27.2 g/L) in a small-scale batch process (200 μL) within 24 h using 0.02 g_enzyme /g_product . Through in-situ ATP regeneration, the amount of ATP (0.6 mM) supplemented was around 240-fold lower than the stoichiometric equivalent required to achieve the final product yield. Chromatographic purification using porous graphic carbon adsorbent yielded UDP-galactose with a purity of 92 %. The synthesis was transferred to 1 L preparative scale production in a stirred tank bioreactor. To further reduce the synthesis costs here, the supernatant of cell lysates was used bypassing expensive purification of enzymes. Here, 23.4 g/L UDP-galactose were produced within 23 h with a synthesis yield of 71 % and a biocatalyst load of 0.05 g_{total_protein} /g_product . The costs for substrates per gram of UDP-galactose synthesized were around 0.26 €/g.

Human plasma uridine diphosphate galactose-glycoprotein galactosyltransfertase. Purification, properties and kinetics of the enzyme-catalysed reaction.

Project description:The soluble galactosyltransferase of human plasma catalysed the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to high- and low-molecular-weight derivatives of N-acetylglucosamine, forming a beta-1-4 linkage. The enzyme was purified by using (NH4)2SO4 precipitation and affinity chromatography on an alpha-lactalbumin-Sepharose column. The galactosyltransferase was maximally bound to this column in the presence of N-acetylglucosamine, and the enzyme was eluted by omitting the amino sugar from the developing buffer. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 85000 by gel filtration. The assay conditions for optimum enzymic activity was 30 degrees C and pH7.5. Mn2+ ion was found to be an absolute requirement for transferase activity. The Km for Mn2+ was 0.4 mM and that for the substrate, UDP-galactose, was 0.024 mM. The Km for the acceptors was 0.21 mM for alpha1-acid glycoprotein and 3.9 mM for N-acetylglucosamine. In the presence of alpha-lactalbumin, glucose became a good acceptor for the enzyme and had a Km value of 2.9 mM. Results of the kinetic study indicated that the free enzyme reacts with Mn2+ under conditions of thermodynamic equilibrium, and the other substrates are added sequentially.

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of uridine diphosphate-GlcNAc and uridine diphosphate-GalNAc analogs for the preparation of unnatural glycosaminoglycans.

Project description:Eight N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate and N-acetylgalactosamine-1-phosphate analogs have been synthesized chemically and were tested for their recognition by the GlmU uridyltransferase enzyme. Among these, only substrates that have an amide linkage to the C-2 nitrogen were transferred by GlmU to afford their corresponding uridine diphosphate(UDP)-sugar nucleotides. Resin-immobilized GlmU showed comparable activity to nonimmobilized GlmU and provides a more facile final step in the synthesis of an unnatural UDP-donor. The synthesized unnatural UDP-donors were tested for their activity as substrates for glycosyltransferases in the preparation of unnatural glycosaminoglycans in vitro. A subset of these analogs was useful as donors, increasing the synthetic repertoire for these medically important polysaccharides.

Enzymatic Redox Cascade for One-Pot Synthesis of Uridine 5'-Diphosphate Xylose from Uridine 5'-Diphosphate Glucose.

Project description:Synthetic ways towards uridine 5'-diphosphate (UDP)-xylose are scarce and not well established, although this compound plays an important role in the glycobiology of various organisms and cell types. We show here how UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase (hUGDH) and UDP-xylose synthase 1 (hUXS) from Homo sapiens can be used for the efficient production of pure UDP-?-xylose from UDP-glucose. In a mimic of the natural biosynthetic route, UDP-glucose is converted to UDP-glucuronic acid by hUGDH, followed by subsequent formation of UDP-xylose by hUXS. The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) required in the hUGDH reaction is continuously regenerated in a three-step chemo-enzymatic cascade. In the first step, reduced NAD+ (NADH) is recycled by xylose reductase from Candida tenuis via reduction of 9,10-phenanthrenequinone (PQ). Radical chemical re-oxidation of this mediator in the second step reduces molecular oxygen to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) that is cleaved by bovine liver catalase in the last step. A comprehensive analysis of the coupled chemo-enzymatic reactions revealed pronounced inhibition of hUGDH by NADH and UDP-xylose as well as an adequate oxygen supply for PQ re-oxidation as major bottlenecks of effective performance of the overall multi-step reaction system. Net oxidation of UDP-glucose to UDP-xylose by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) could thus be achieved when using an in situ oxygen supply through periodic external feed of H2O2 during the reaction. Engineering of the interrelated reaction parameters finally enabled production of 19.5 mM (10.5 g l-1) UDP-?-xylose. After two-step chromatographic purification the compound was obtained in high purity (>98%) and good overall yield (46%). The results provide a strong case for application of multi-step redox cascades in the synthesis of nucleotide sugar products.

Competitive inhibition and substrate activity of uridine diphosphate 6-deoxygalactose for Escherichia coli uridine diphosphate galactose 4-epimerase.

Project description:UDP-6-deoxygalactose inhibits the UDP-galactose 4-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.2) from Escherichia coli in a competitive manner with respect to the substrate UDP-galactose, giving K(i) 1.3x10(-3)m. As a substrate for the enzyme, it is transformed into UDP-6-deoxyglucose, although the reaction stops before equilibrium is attained. Possible causes of this behaviour are discussed.

Frog brain uridine diphosphate galactose-N-acetylgalactosaminyl-N-acetylneuraminylgalactosylglucosylceramide galactosyltransferase.

Project description:1. The enzyme that catalyses the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to N-acetylgalactosaminyl-(1-->4)-N-acetylneuraminyl-(2-->3)-galactosyl-(1-->4)-glucosylceramide (G(M2)) was found mainly in the heavy- and light-microsomal fractions of the adult frog brain. 2. The subcellular distribution of the enzyme, UDP-galactose-G(M2) galactosyltransferase, parallels that of gangliosides in adult frog brain. 3. The enzymic activity was first detected at late gastrulation (Shumway stage 11(1/2)) and increased until the completion of the operculum (Shumway stage 25) and then decreased in the tadpoles. 4. In adult frog brain, the enzyme exhibited a pH optimum of 7.2-7.3 in both cacodylate and tris buffers. The enzyme required 10mm-Mn(2+) for maximal activity and the K(m) for Mn(2+) was determined as 2.2mm. The half-maximal velocity was obtained at a G(M2) concentration of 0.18mm. Inhibition of the enzymic reaction was found when the G(M2) concentration was greater than 1.38mm. 5. The enzymic activity was also inhibited by the products in the pathway of ganglioside synthesis, i.e. either by a mixture of gangliosides or by individual ganglioside components. The most active inhibitor was disialoganglioside. The degree of inhibition is a function of the individual ganglioside concentration. 6. A product-inhibition mechanism for the regulation of ganglioside biosynthesis is discussed.

Synthesis of 4-Azido-N-acetylhexosamine Uridine Diphosphate Donors: Clickable Glycosaminoglycans.

Project description:Unnatural chemically modified nucleotide sugars UDP-4-N3-GlcNAc and UDP-4-N3-GalNAc were chemically synthesized for the first time. These unnatural UDP sugar products were then tested for incorporation into hyaluronan, heparosan, or chondroitin using polysaccharide synthases. UDP-4-N3-GlcNAc served as a chain termination substrate for hyaluronan or heparosan synthases; the resulting 4-N3-GlcNAc-terminated hyaluronan and heparosan were then successfully conjugated with Alexa Fluor 488 DIBO alkyne, demonstrating that this approach is generally applicable for labeling and detection of suitable glycosaminoglycans.

Developmental aspects of uridine diphosphate galactose 4-epimerase in rat intestine.

Project description:Kinetic and developmental characteristics of rat intestinal UDP-galactose 4-epimerase activity have been examined. The enzyme in the adult rat had a V(max.) value 2-3 times higher than that of the newborn animal, but the K(m) values for the enzyme in the newborn and adult rat were the same (0.17mm). No differences in epimerase activity were found along the length of the jejuno-ileum of adult animals, but higher activity was detected in the lower portion of the villi and crypts. The specific activity of the enzyme in the newborn rat began to rise at about 17 days of age, reaching a peak at 29 days of age, and then became constant at adult values. Total epimerase activity in the newborn rat liver was 2-5 times higher than the total activity in the intestine, and total epimerase activity in the adult intestine was 3-4 times higher than the total activity in the liver. Cortisone injection did not enhance the increase of epimerase normally seen during development, but caused a decrease in activity of this enzyme in the jejunum in rats up to 17 days of age. After 17 days, cortisone treatment had no effect on epimerase activity.

The concerted inactivation of Escherichia coli uridine diphosphate galactose 4-epimerase by sugar nucleotide together with a free sugar.

Project description:1. The combined effect of the sugar nucleotides UDP-D-fucose or UDP-D-glucuronic acid together with the free sugars D-fucose or L-arabinose is the inactivation of the Escherichia coli enzyme UDP-galactose 4-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.2). The sugar nucleotide or the free sugar alone or the sugar nucleotide plus 5'-Ump do not inactivate the enzyme. 2. The inactivation of the enzyme by its substrate UDP-D-glucose was not affected by the presence of free sugar. 3. In all cases the inactivation observed follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. 4. A comparison of various sugar nucleotides indicates that the hydroxymethyl group at position 6 of the sugar moiety of the natural substrates is important for substrate binding.

Lactogenesis in the rat. Metabolism of uridine diphosphate galactose by mammary gland.

Project description:1. Lactose synthetase activity in the rat mammary gland increases during the last day of pregnancy from an essentially zero value. There is a parallel increase of tissue lactose and of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. 2. Mammary-gland homogenates prepared both before and after parturition hydrolyse the lactose precursors glucose 6-phosphate, glucose 1-phosphate, UDP-glucose, UDP-galactose and also maltose, but not lactose. 3. A role of lactose synthetase as the rate-limiting enzyme for lactose biosynthesis and the possible significance of the hydrolytic activities are discussed with respect to lactogenesis.

Studies on the purification of rat liver uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase.

Project description:1. A stable, more highly purified, preparation of UDP-glucuronyltransferase was obtained than previously reported. 2. Enzyme activity towards o-aminophenyl and p-nitrophenyl was increased 43- and 46-fold respectively. 3. The final preparation contains only three staining polypeptide bands visible after sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. 4. The only known major accompanying protein appears to be epoxide hydratase. 5. The purified enzyme activity towards o-aminophenol can still be activated 3 fold by diethylnitrosamine. 6. On evidence from purification, o-aminophenol and p-nitrophenol appear to be glucuronidated by the same enzyme protein. The possible recognition of the UDP-glucuronyltransferase enzyme is discussed.
