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.

Moenocinol (C25H42O), the acyclic terpenoid unsaturated lipid part of moenomycin antibiotics, was prepared by an expedient method, which comprised organometallic reaction, Julia-Kocienski olefination, and enolate carbon bond formation as the key steps. The starting materials, nerol and 3-butyn-1-ol, were elaborated to the benzothiazole sulfone 2 and aldehyde 3, and the subsequent Julia-Kocienski olefination occurred in a stereospecific manner to give the desired 6E-configuration of moenocinol. Moenocinol (1) was thus synthesized by 10 linear steps in 12% overall yield, and its analogs 23, 24, and 28 with different chain lengths and unsaturation degrees were also realized by the similar reaction sequences.
