N-GLYCOSYLATION OF PEPTIDES AND PROTEINS
-
, (2015/05/05)
A process for the production of a glycoconjugate by N-glycosylation of a protein or peptide comprising the sequence D/E-X-N-X-S/T, wherein each X is the same or different and is any natural amino acid other than proline, wherein the process comprises reacting the protein or peptide with a polyisoprenyl pyrophosphate of formula (I), or a salt thereof, in the presence of PglB: (I) to produce the glycoconjugate comprising the protein or peptide having a saccharide [SI] linked to the asparagine in the sequence D/E-X-N-X-S/T. Polyisoprenylpyrophosphates used as substrates in the biocatalytic process are also provided, as well as certain glycoconjugates.
Synthesis of tricyclopolyprenols via a radical addition and a stereoselective elimination, part II: (Z)-tricyclopentaprenol, (E,E)- and (Z,Z)-tricyclohexaprenol, (Z,Z,Z)-tricycloheptaprenol

Four tricyclopolyprenols have been synthesised by addition of the isocopalenyl radical either to a 2-methylene-3-hydroxy alkenenitrile (in the case of (E,E)-tricyclohexaprenol) or to a methyl 2-methylene-3-hydroxy alkenoate (in the case of the three (Z)-t
