    Abstract Pectate lyase (Pel) synthesis in Dickeya chrysanthemi has been reported to be hyperinduced in planta and also in the medium containing plant extract in addition to polygalacturonate. In this study, the major components of Pel-hyperinducing fractions were found to be glucose, fructose, and sucrose by TLC and NMR. From the analysis of the sugars and their derivatives, it was found that acyclic d-hexoses with the trans relationship between C-3 and C-5 hydroxyl groups were found to be basic structure required for hyperinducing the expression of a major isozyme in infected plants (i.e. pelE). From the fact that some non-metabolizable sugars such as 2-deoxy-d-glucose and d-fucose could lead to hyperinduction and that the hyperinduction was observed only in the medium containing low concentration (<0.25%) but not higher of the sugars was added, these sugars may be considered to participate in hyperinduction as the signal rather than through their metabolism.

    Abstract Both mucin 1 (MUC1) and galectin-3 are known to be overexpressed in various malignant tumors and associated with a poor prognosis. It has been extensively reported that MUC1 is involved in potentiation of growth factor-dependent signal transduction. Because some carbohydrate moieties carried on MUC1 change to preferable ones for binding of galectin-3 in cancer cells, we speculated that MUC1-mediated signaling may occur through direct binding of galectin-3. Immunochemical studies showed that the distribution of galectin-3 coincided with that of MUC1 in various human tumor tissues but not in human nonmalignant tissues, and the level of galectin-3 retained on the surface of various cancer cells paralleled that of MUC1. Treatment of MUC1-expressing cells with galectin-3 induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and Akt following enhanced phosphorylation of MUC1 C-terminal domain, consistently promoting tumor cell malignancy. It is also noted that this enhanced phosphorylation occurred independently of EGF receptor-mediated signaling in both EGF receptor- and MUC1-expressing cells, and multivalency of galectin-3 was important for initiation of MUC1-mediated signaling. Expectedly, both silencing of endogenous galectin-3 and treatment with galectin-3 antagonists down-regulated cell proliferation of MUC1-expressing cells. These results suggest that the binding of galectin-3 to MUC1 plays a key role in MUC1-mediated signaling. Thus, constitutive activation of MUC1-mediated signaling in an autocrine/paracrine manner caused by ligation of galectin-3 promotes uncontrolled tumor cell malignancy. This signaling may be another MUC1-mediated pathway and function in parallel with a growth factor-dependent MUC1-mediated signaling pathway.

    Abstract Oligosaccharides involved in glycoconjugates play important roles in a number of biological events. To elucidate the biological functions of oligosaccharides, sufficient quantities of structurally defined oligosaccharides, are of limited availability by traditional purification methods, are required. Hence, chemical and enzymatic syntheses of oligosaccharides are becoming increasingly important in glycobiology and glycotechnology. In addition, oligosaccharides often occur as glycoconjugates attached to proteins or lipids. Hence, the development of simple and effective methods for synthesizing neoglycoconjugates such as neoglycoprotein and neoglycolipids is essential for an understanding of the biological function of these molecules. Here we review the most recent developments in the enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides and neoglycoconjugates.

    Abstract The rapidly evolvable influenza A virus has caused pandemics linked to millions of deaths in the past century. Influenza A viruses are categorized by H (hemagglutinin; HA) and N (neuraminidase; NA) proteins expressed on the viral envelope surface. Analyses of past pandemics suggest that the HA gene segment comes from a nonhuman virus, which is then introduced into an immunologically naïve human population with potentially devastating consequences. As a prerequisite for infection, the nonhuman HA molecules of H1-H16 viruses must be able to bind to specific sialyl receptors on the host cell surface along the human respiratory tract. Thus, additional insight into the structures of host cell glycans and how different HAs interact with different glycans might provide new insight into the mechanisms underlying sustained infection and transmission in humans. In this work, we identified the sialyl N-glycans found in normal human alveoli and characterized the influenza viruses that preferentially bound to these different structures. We also determined the amino acid changes in HA that were linked to a switch of receptor-binding preference from nonhuman to pandemic, as well as pandemic to seasonal. Our data provide insight into why seasonal viruses are associated with reduced alveolar infection and damage and suggest new considerations for designing anti-HA vaccines and drugs. The results provide a better understanding of viral tropism and pathogenesis in humans that will be important for prediction and surveillance of zoonotic, pandemic, and epidemic influenza outbreaks.

    Abstract A crude enzyme preparation from Penicillium multicolor efficiently produced mainly gentiotriose to gentiopentaose (d.p. 3-5) by transglycosylation using a high concentration of gentiobiose as the substrate. The resulting gentiotriose was examined in a gustatory sensation test using human volunteers, and was determined to have one-fifth of the bitterness of gentiobiose. The crude enzyme preparation was analyzed by chromatography to determine the enzyme responsible for formation of the gentiooligosaccharides. The transglycosylation was shown to take place in two stages by a combination of beta-glucosidase and beta-(1-->6)-glucanase. In the initial stage, which was the rate-limiting step in the overall process, beta-glucosidase produced mainly gentiotriose from gentiobiose. In the second step, beta-(1-->6)-glucanase acted on the resulting gentiotriose, which served as both donor and acceptor, to produce a series of gentiooligosaccharides (d.p. 4-9) by transglycosylation.

    Abstract Divalent glycosides carrying N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc) and N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) were designed and prepared as glycomimetics. First, hexan-1,6-diyl bis-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-d-glucopyranoside) (GlcNAc-Hx-GlcNAc) and 3,6-dioxaoct-1,8-diyl bis-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-d-glucopyranoside) (GlcNAc-Doo-GlcNAc) were enzymatically synthesized by transglycosylation of an N,N'N'',N'''-tetraacetylchitotetraose [(GlcNAc)(4)] donor with a primary diol acceptor, utilizing a chitinolytic enzyme from Amycolatopsis orientalis. The resulting divalent glycosides were further converted to the respective hexan-1,6-diyl bis-[beta-d-galactopyranosyl-(1-->4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-d-glucopyranoside] (LacNAc-Hx-LacNAc) and 6-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-d-glucopyranosyl)-hexyl beta-d-galactopyranosyl-(1-->4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-d-glucopyranoside (LacNAc-Hx-GlcNAc), and respective 3,6-dioxaoct-1,8-diyl bis-[beta-d-galactopyranosyl-(1-->4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-d-glucopyranoside] (LacNAc-Doo-LacNAc) and 8-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-d-glucopyranosyl)-3,6-dioxaoctyl beta-d-galactopyranosyl-(1-->4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-d-glucopyranoside (LacNAc-Doo-GlcNAc) by galactosyltransferase. The interaction of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) with a series of divalent glycosides and related compounds were studied using a biosensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and by precipitation analysis. Our results demonstrated that divalent glycosides carrying GlcNAc on both sides and GlcNAc and LacNAc on each side are capable of precipitating WGA as divalent ligands, but that the corresponding monovalent controls and divalent glycosides carrying LacNAc on both sides are unable to precipitate the lectin and bind as univalent ligands.

    Abstract Enzymatic synthesis of GlcNAc-terminated poly-N-acetyllactosamine beta-glycosides GlcNAcbeta1,3(Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,3)(n)Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta-pNP (n=1-4) was demonstrated using a transglycosylation reaction of Escherichia freundii endo-beta-galactosidase. The enzyme catalyzed a transglycosylation reaction on GlcNAcbeta1,3Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta-pNP (1), which served both as a donor and an acceptor, and converted 1 into p-nitrophenyl beta-glycosides GlcNAcbeta1,3(Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,3)(1)Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta-pNP (2), GlcNAcbeta1,3(Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,3)(2)Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta-pNP (3), GlcNAcbeta1,3(Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,3)(3)Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta-pNP (4) and GlcNAcbeta1,3(Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,3)(4)Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta-pNP (5). When 2 was used as an initial substrate, it led to the preferential synthesis of nonasaccharide beta-glycoside 4 to heptasaccharide beta-glycoside 3. This suggests that 4 is directly synthesized by transferring the tetrasaccharide unit GlcNAcbeta1,3Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,3Gal to nonreducing end GlcNAc residue of 2 itself. The efficiency of production of poly-N-acetyllactosamines by E. freundii endo-beta-galactosidase was significantly enhanced by the addition of BSA and by a low-temperature condition. Resulting 2 and 3 were shown to be useful for studying endo-beta-galactosidase-catalyzed hydrolytic and transglycosylation reactions.

As an alternative design, dansyl-labeled LacNAc glycoside carrying a long-spacer linked glycan was engineered by replacement of the LacNAc or lactose units with an alkyl chain. In addition, we designed a dansyl-labeled bi-antennary LacNAc glycoside as an N-linked oligosaccharide mimetic, such as asialo-α(1)-acid glycoprotein. The kinetic parameters for the transfer reaction of synthesized dansyl-labeled glycosides by sialyltransferases were determined by the fluorescent HPLC method. The catalytic efficiencies (V(max)/K(m)) of acceptor substrates carrying the terminal LacNAc sequence with various length glycans in the array for α2,6- and α2,3-sialyltransferases decreased in a glycan length-dependent manner. Furthermore, of the acceptor substrates tested, dansyl-labeled bi-antennary LacNAc glycoside displayed the most favorable K(m) value for α2,6- and α2,3-sialyltransferases.
