    Abstract Exo-enzymatic glyco-engineering of cell-surface glycoconjugates enables the selective display of well-defined glyco-motifs bearing bioorthogonal functional groups, which can be used to study glycans and their interactions with glycan-binding proteins. In recent years, strategies to edit cellular glycans by installing monosaccharides and their derivatives using glycosyltransferase enzymes have rapidly expanded. However, analogous methods to introduce chemical reporter-functionalized type 2 LacNAc motifs have not been reported. Herein, we report the chemo-enzymatic synthesis of unnatural UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-GalNAc nucleotide-sugars bearing azide, alkyne, and diazirine functionalities on the C2-acetamido group using the mutant uridylyltransferase AGX1

    Abstract All cells are decorated with complex carbohydrate structures called glycans that serve as ligands for glycan-binding proteins (GBPs) to mediate a wide range of biological processes. Understanding the specific functions of glycans is key to advancing an understanding of human health and disease. However, the lack of convenient and accessible tools to study glycan-based interactions has been a defining challenge in glycobiology. Thus, the development of chemical and biochemical strategies to address these limitations has been a rapidly growing area of research. In this review, we describe the use of glycosyltransferases (GTs) as versatile tools to facilitate a greater understanding of the biological roles of glycans. We highlight key examples of how GTs have streamlined the preparation of well-defined complex glycan structures through chemoenzymatic synthesis, with an emphasis on synthetic strategies allowing for site- and branch-specific display of glyco-epitopes. We also describe how GTs have facilitated expansion of glyco-engineering strategies, on both glycoproteins and cell surfaces. Coupled with advancements in bioorthogonal chemistry, GTs have enabled selective glyco-epitope editing of glycoproteins and cells, selective glycan subclass labeling, and the introduction of novel biomolecule functionalities onto cells, including defined oligosaccharides, antibodies, and other proteins. Collectively, these approaches have contributed great insight into the fundamental biological roles of glycans and are enabling their application in drug development and cellular therapies, leaving the field poised for rapid expansion.

    Abstract The springtail, Megaphorura arctica, is freeze-avoiding and survives sub-zero temperatures by cryoprotective dehydration. At the onset of dehydration there is some supercooling of body fluids, and the danger of inoculative freezing, which would be lethal. To see if the springtails are protected by antifreeze proteins in this pre-equilibrium phase, we examined extracts from cold-acclimated M. arctica and recorded over 3 °C of freezing point depression. Proteins responsible for this antifreeze activity were isolated by ice affinity. They comprise isoforms ranging from 6.5 to 16.9 kDa, with an amino acid composition dominated by glycine (>35 mol%). Tryptic peptide sequences were used to identify the mRNA sequence coding for the smallest isoform. This antifreeze protein sequence has high similarity to one characterized in Hypogastrura harveyi, from a different springtail order. If these two antifreeze proteins are true homologs, we suggest their origin dates back to the Permian glaciations some 300 million years ago.

    Abstract Mass spectrometry-based shotgun glycomics (MS-SG) is a rapid, sensitive, label-, and immobilization-free approach for the discovery of natural ligands of glycan-binding proteins (GBPs). To perform MS-SG, natural libraries of glycans derived from glycoconjugates in cells or tissues are screened against a target GBP using catch-and-release electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (CaR-ESI-MS). Because glycan concentrations are challenging to determine, ligand affinities cannot be directly measured. In principle, relative affinities can be ranked by combining CaR-ESI-MS data with relative concentrations established by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) performed on the fluorophore-labeled glycan library. To validate this approach, as well as the feasibility of performing CaR-ESI-MS directly on labeled glycans, libraries of labeled N-glycans extracted from the human monocytic U937 cells or intestinal tissues were labeled with 2-aminobenzamide (2-AB), 2-aminobenzoic acid (2-AA), or procainamide (proA). The libraries were screened against plant and human GBPs with known specificities for α2-3- and α2-6-linked sialosides and quantified by HILIC. Dramatic differences, in some cases, were found for affinity rankings obtained with libraries labeled with different fluorophores, as well as those produced using the combined unlabeled/labeled library approach. The origin of these differences could be explained by differential glycan labeling efficiencies, the impact of specific labels on glycan affinities for the GBPs, and the relative efficiency of release of ligands from GBPs in CaR-ESI-MS. Overall, the results of this study suggest that the 2-AB(CaR-ESI-MS)/2-AB(HILIC) combination provides the most reliable description of the binding specificities of GBPs for N-glycans and is recommended for MS-SG applications.
