Efficient chemoenzymatic synthesis of novel galacto- N -biose derivatives and their sialylated forms

Abstract

Galacto-N-biose (GNB) derivatives were efficiently synthesized from galactose derivatives via a one-pot two-enzyme system containing two promiscuous enzymes from Bifidobacterium infantis: a galactokinase (BiGalK) and a d-galactosyl-β1-3-N-acetyl-d-hexosamine phosphorylase (BiGalHexNAcP). Mono-sialyl and di-sialyl galacto-N-biose derivatives were then prepared using a one-pot two-enzyme system containing a CMP-sialic acid synthetase and an α2-3-sialyltransferase or an α2-6-sialyltransferase.
