Page/Page column 45; 47; 56, (2010/11/08)
The present invention relates to a chemically modified mutant protein including a cysteine residue substituted for a residue other than cysteine n a precursor protein, the substituted cysteine residue being subsequently modified by reacting the cysteine residue with a glycosylated thiosulfonate. Also a method of producing the chemically modified mutant protein is provided. The present invention also relates to a glycosylated methanethiosulfonate. Another aspect of the present invention is a method of modifying the functional characteristics of a protein including providing a protein and reacting the protein with a glycosylated methanethiosulfonate reagent under conditions effective to produce a glycoprotein with altered functional characteristics as compared to the protein. In addition, the present invention relates to methods of determining the structure-function relationships of chemically modified mutant proteins. The present invention also relates to synthetic methods for producing thio-glycoses, the thio-glycoses so produced, and to methods for producing glycodendrimer reagents.

1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranose was transformed into phenyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-1-thio-β-D-galactopyranoside (5) and 4-methoxyphenyl 2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (8) in 73% (two steps) and 58% (three steps) yield, respectively. Glycosylation of the acceptor 8 with donor 5 using N-iodosuccinimide-trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate as promoter furnished the galabioside 9 (8.8 g) in 95% yield. Further transformations provided in high yields anomerically-activated galabiosides (thioglycoside (1), trichloroacetimidate (2), and bromosugar (3)) suitable for use as glycosyl donors in syntheses of galabiose-containing oligosaccharides. Several of the compounds reported here are crystalline, which greatly simplified purifications. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
