We have synthesized several ganglio-oligosaccharide structures using glycosyltransferases from Campylobacter jejuni. The enzymes, α-(2→3/8)-sialyltransferase (Cst-II), β-(1→4)-N- acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (CgtA), and β-(1→3)- galactosyltransferase (CgtB), were produced in large-scale fermentation from Escherichia coli and further characterized based on their acceptor specificities. 2-Azidoethyl-glycosides corresponding to the oligosaccharides of GD3 (α-D-Neup5Ac-(2→8)-α-D-Neup5Ac-(2→3)-β-D-Galp- (1→4)-β-D-Glcp-), GT3 (α-D-Neup5Ac-(2→8)-α-D-Neup5Ac- (2→8)-α-D-Neup5Ac-(2→3)-β-D-Galp-(1→4)-β-D-Glcp-) , GM2 (β-D-GalpNAc-(1→4)-[α-D-Neup5Ac-(2→3)]-β-D-Galp- (1→4)-β-D-Glcp-), GD2 (β-D-GalpNAc-(1→4)-[α-D-Neup5Ac- (2→8)-α-D-Neup5Ac-(2→3)]-β-D-Galp-(1→4) -β-D-Glcp-), GT2 (β-D-GalpNAc-(1→4)-[α-D-Neup5Ac-(2→8) -α-D-Neup5Ac-(2→8)-α-D-Neup5Ac-(2→3)]-β-D-Galp- (1→4)-β-D-Glcp-), and GM1 (β-D-Galp-(1→3)-β-D-GalpNAc- (1→4)-[α-D-Neup5Ac-(2→3)]-β-D-Galp-(1→4) -β-D-Glcp-) were synthesized in high yields (gram-scale). In addition, a mammalian α-(2→3)-sialyltransferase (ST3Gal I) was used to sialylate GM1 and generate GD1a (α-D-Neup5Ac-(2→3)-β-D-Galp-(1→3)- β-D-GalpNAc-(1→4)-[α-D-Neup5Ac-(2→3)]-β-D-Galp- (1→4)-β-D-Glcp-) oligosaccharide. We also cloned and expressed a rat UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-4′epimerase (GalNAcE) in E. coli AD202 cells for cost saving in situ conversion of less expensive UDP-GlcNAc to UDP-GalNAc.

Synthetic approaches have been developed to tetravalent neoglycoconjugates with different structures of the hydrophobic fragment and D-glucose fragment as branching core. The syntheses have been accomplished by preparation of blocks with terminal C C triple bonds and hydrophobic fragment and hydrophilic component (lactose derivative), followed by their conjugation.

The trans-sialidase from Trypanosoma cruzi (TcTS), the agent of Chagas' disease, is a unique enzyme involved in mammalian host-cell invasion. Since T. cruzi is unable to synthesize sialic acids de novo, TcTS catalyzes the transfer of α-(2→3)-sialyl residues from the glycoconjugates of the host to terminal β-galactopyranosyl units present on the surface of the parasite. TcTS also plays a key role in the immunomodulation of the infected host. Chronic Chagas' disease patients elicit TcTS-neutralizing antibodies that are able to inhibit the enzyme. N-Glycolylneuraminic acid has been detected in T. cruzi, and the trans-sialidase was pointed out as the enzyme involved in its incorporation from host glycoconjugates. However, N-glycolylneuraminic acid α-(2→3)-linked-containing oligosaccharides have not been analyzed as donors in the T. cruzi trans-sialidase reaction. In this paper we studied the ability of TcTS to transfer N-glycolylneuraminic acid from Neu5Gc(α2→3)Gal(β1→4)GlcβOCH2CH2N3 (1) and Neu5Gc(α2→3)Gal(β1→3)GlcNAcβOCH2CH2N3 (2) to lactitol, N-acetyllactosamine and lactose as acceptor substrates. Transfer from 1 was more efficient (50-65%) than from 2 (20-30%) for the three acceptors. The reactions were inhibited when the enzyme was preincubated with a neutralizing antibody. Km values were calculated for 1 and 2 and compared with 3′-sialyllactose using lactitol as acceptor substrate. Analysis was performed by high-performance anion-exchange (HPAEC) chromatography. A competitive transfer reaction of compound 1 in the presence of 3′-sialyllactose and N-acetyllactosamine showed a better transfer of Neu5Gc than of Neu5Ac.

Tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs) are attractive targets for vaccine development. In this context, we described a strategy combining artificial TACA and glycoengineering for cancer vaccine development. A 2,4-ditrophenyl (DNP)-modified GM3 int

Carbohydrate antigens displaying Galα(1,3)Gal epitopes are recognized by naturally occurring antibodies in humans. These anti-Gal antibodies comprise up to 1% of serum IgG and have been viewed as detrimental as they are responsible for hyperacute organ rejections. In order to model this condition, α(1,3)galactosyltransferase-knockout mice are inoculated against the Galα(1,3)Gal epitope. In our study, two α-Gal trisaccharide epitopes composed of either Galα(1,3)Galβ(1,4)GlcNAc or Galα(1,3)Galβ(1,4)Glc linked to a squaric acid ester moiety were examined for their ability to elicit immune responses in KO mice. Both target epitopes were synthesized using a two-component enzymatic system using modified disaccharide substrates containing a linker moiety for coupling. While both glycoconjugate vaccines induced the required high anti-Gal IgG antibody titers, it was found that this response had exquisite specificity for the Galα(1,3)Galβ(1,4)GlcNAc hapten used, with little cross reactivity with the Galα(1,3)Galβ(1,4)Glc hapten. Our findings indicate that while homogenous glycoconjugate vaccines provide high IgG titers, the carrier and adjuvanting factors can deviate the specificity to an antigenic determinant outside the purview of interest.

Glycosylation can have a multifaceted impact on the properties and functions of peptides and plays a critical role in interacting with or binding to the target molecules. Herein, based on the previously reported method for macrocyclic glycopeptide synthesis, two series of tyrocidine A glycosylated derivatives (1a-f and 2a-f) were synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activities to further study the structure and activity relationships (SAR). Biological studies showed that the synthetic glycosylated derivatives had good antibacterial activities towards methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus. SAR studies based on various glycans and linkages were used to enhance the biochemical profile, resulting in the identification of several potent antibiotics, such as 1f, with a great improved therapeutic index than tyrocidine A.

The modular synthesis of 7 libraries containing 51 self-assembling amphiphilic Janus dendrimers with the monosaccharides d-mannose and d-galactose and the disaccharide d-lactose in their hydrophilic part is reported. These unprecedented sugar-containing dendrimers are named amphiphilic Janus glycodendrimers. Their self-assembly by simple injection of THF or ethanol solution into water or buffer and by hydration was analyzed by a combination of methods including dynamic light scattering, confocal microscopy, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform analysis, and micropipet-aspiration experiments to assess mechanical properties. These libraries revealed a diversity of hard and soft assemblies, including unilamellar spherical, polygonal, and tubular vesicles denoted glycodendrimersomes, aggregates of Janus glycodendrimers and rodlike micelles named glycodendrimer aggregates and glycodendrimermicelles, cubosomes denoted glycodendrimercubosomes, and solid lamellae. These assemblies are stable over time in water and in buffer, exhibit narrow molecular-weight distribution, and display dimensions that are programmable by the concentration of the solution from which they are injected. This study elaborated the molecular principles leading to single-type soft glycodendrimersomes assembled from amphiphilic Janus glycodendrimers. The multivalency of glycodendrimersomes with different sizes and their ligand bioactivity were demonstrated by selective agglutination with a diversity of sugar-binding protein receptors such as the plant lectins concanavalin A and the highly toxic mistletoe Viscum album L. agglutinin, the bacterial lectin PA-IL from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and, of special biomedical relevance, human adhesion/growth-regulatory galectin-3 and galectin-4. These results demonstrated the candidacy of glycodendrimersomes as new mimics of biological membranes with programmable glycan ligand presentations, as supramolecular lectin blockers, vaccines, and targeted delivery devices.

A combination of classical site-directed mutagenesis, genetic code engineering and bioorthogonal reactions delivered a chemically modified barstar protein with one or four carbohydrates installed at specific residues. These protein conjugates were employed in multivalent binding studies, which support the use of proteins as structurally defined scaffolds for the presentation of multivalent ligands.

The Letter describes a strategy for the enzymatic synthesis of glycans based on a pH-responsive water-soluble polymer. In neutral condition, the polymer is water-soluble and convenient for in-solution enzymatic synthesis, whereas in acidic condition (pH lower than 4.0), the polymer disconnects with the product and becomes insoluble, which can be easily removed. A 6-Sialyl lactose analogue was synthesized as a model reaction using this approach.
