Mode of action of a β-(1→6)-glucanase from Penicillium multicolor

β-(1→6)-Glucanase from the culture filtrate of Penicillium multicolor LAM7153 was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, followed by cation-exchange and affinity chromatography using gentiotetraose (Gen 4) as ligand. The hydrolytic mode of action of the purified protein on β-(1→6)-glucan (pustulan) was elucidated in real time during the reaction by HPAEC-PAD analysis. Gentiooligosaccharides (DP 2-9, Gen 2-9), methyl β-gentiooligosides (DP 2-6, Gen2-6 β-OMe), and p-nitrophenyl β-gentiooligosides (DP 2-6, Gen 2-6 β-pNP) were used as substrates to provide analytical insight into how the cleavage of pustulan (DP? 320) is actually achieved by the enzyme. The enzyme was shown to completely hydrolyze pustulan in three steps as follows. In the initial stage, the enzyme quickly cleaved the glucan with a pattern resembling an endo-hydrolase to produce a short-chain glucan (DP? 45) as an intermediate. In the midterm stage, the resulting short-chain glucan was further cleaved into two fractions corresponding to DP 15-7 and DP 2-4 with great regularity. In the final stage, the lower oligomers corresponding to DP 3 and DP 4 were very slowly hydrolyzed into glucose and gentiobiose (Gen 2). As a result, the hydrolytic cooperation of both an endo-type and saccharifying-type reaction by a single enzyme, which plays a bifunctional role, led to complete hydrolysis of the glucan. Thus, β-(1→6)-glucanase varies its mode of action depending on the chain length derived from the glucan.

Enzymatic synthesis of l-DOPA α-glycosides by reaction with sucrose catalyzed by four different glucansucrases from four strains of Leuconostoc mesenteroides

Synthesized by reaction of Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-512FMC, B-742CB, B-1299A dextransucrases, and B-1355C alternansucrase with sucrose and l-DOPA α-glycosides were synthesized by reaction of l-DOPA with sucrose, catalyzed by four different glucansucras

Rapid oligosaccharide synthesis on a fluorous support

The novel fluorous support Hfb (hexakisfluorous chain-type butanoyl) was easily prepared. The Hfb group was readily introduced into the anomeric hydroxyl group of a carbohydrate, and was recyclable after cleavage. The use of the Hfb group was applicable for the rapid oligosaccharide synthesis in which the synthetic intermediates could be purified using fluorous and normal organic solvents. Each synthetic intermediate could be monitored by TLC, NMR and mass spectrometry. Graphical Abstract

Hydrolysis of low-molecular-weight oligosaccharides and oligosaccharide alditols by pig intestinal sucrase/isomaltase and glucosidase/maltase

The ability of purified pig intestinal sucrase/isomaltase (SI; EC 3.2.1.10/48) and glucosidase/maltase (GM; EC 3.2.1.20) to hydrolyze di- and oligosaccharides consisting of D-glucose and D-fructose residues and the corresponding alditols was studied. The products, after incubation, reflect different binding patterns at both catalytic sites of SI. The active site of the sucrase subunit cleaves α,β-(1→2) glycosidic bonds, and only two monomer units of the substrates bind with favorable affinity. Oligosaccharides and reduced oligosaccharides containing α-(1→6) and α-(1→1) glycosidic bonds are hydrolyzed by isomaltase, and for the active site of this subunit more than two subsites were postulated. Moreover, different binding sites for various aglycons seem to exist for isomaltase. Oligosaccharide alcohols are cleaved at lower rates if the reduced sugar residue occupies the aglycon binding site. GM also hydrolyzes α-(1→1) linkages, but at a lower rate. The enzyme has the ability to bind compounds containing residues other than D-glucose. There are indications for similarities between GM and the isomaltase subunit of SI in the binding mode of oligosaccharides. Copyright (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Dehydrative Glycosylation Using Heptabenzyl Derivatives of Glucobioses and Lactose

Dehydrative glycosylations of the 2-, 3-, 4-, and 6-OH groups of D-glucopyranose with hepta-O-benzyl derivatives of glucobioses (O-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->n)-D-glucopyranose; n = 2, 3, 4, or 6) and lactose, in the presence of a ternary mixture of p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride, silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, and triethylamine in dichloromethane showed that the selectivity of the reaction depended on the anomeric configuration and the linking position to the reducing tribenzylglucose moiety of the nonreducing tetrabenzylglucosyl residue and on the class of the OH group to be glycosylated.The use of a quaternary mixture of p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride, silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and triethylamine made all but the β(1->2)-linked biosyl donor undergo α-condensation.Several new linear trisaccharides were obtained via debenzylation of the condensates.
