    Abstract A series of dansyl-labeled glycosides with di-, tetra-, and hexasaccharides carrying the terminal N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) sequence were synthesized as acceptor substrates for α2,6- and α2,3-sialyltransferases. 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-α₁-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.

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.

    Abstract Abstract Background Sialic acid is a deoxy uronic acid with a skeleton of nine carbons which is mostly found on cell surface in animals. This sialic acid on cell surface performs various biological functions by acting as a receptor for microorganisms, viruses, toxins, and hormones; by masking receptors; and by regulating the immune system. In order to synthesize an artificial sialoglycoprotein, we developed a large-scale production of rat α2,6-sialyltransferase (ST6Gal1). The ST6Gal1 was expressed in fifth instar silkworm larval hemolymph using recombinant both cysteine protease- and chitinase-deficient Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV- CP - - Chi - ) bacmid. The expressed ST6Gal1 was purified, characterized and used for sialylation of asialoglycopolypeptide. We tested the inhibitory effect of the synthesized α2,6-sialoglycopolypeptide on hemagglutination by Sambucus nigra (SNA) lectin. Results FLAG-tagged recombinant ST6Gal1 was expressed efficiently and purified by precipitation with ammonium sulphate followed by affinity chromatography on an anti-FLAG M2 column, generating 2.2 mg purified fusion protein from only 11 silkworm larvae, with a recovery yield of 64%. The purified ST6Gal1 was characterized and its N -glycan patterns were found to be approximately paucimannosidic type by HPLC mapping method. Fluorescently-labelled N -acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) glycoside containing dansyl group was synthesized chemo-enzymatically as high-sensitivity acceptor substrate for ST6Gal1. The acceptor substrate specificity of the enzyme was similar to that of rat liver ST6Gal1. The fluorescent glycoside is useful as a substrate for a highly sensitive picomole assay of ST6Gal1. Asialoglycopolypeptide was regioselectively and quantitatively sialylated by catalytic reaction at the terminal Gal residue to obtain α2,6-sialoglycopolypeptide using ST6Gal1. The α2,6-sialoglycopolypeptide selectively inhibited hemagglutination induced by Sambucus nigra (SNA) lectin, showing about 780-fold higher affinity than the control fetuin. Asialoglycopolypeptide and γ-polyglutamic acid did not affect SNA lectin-mediated hemagglutination. Conclusion The recombinant ST6Gal1 from a silkworm expression system is useful for the sialylation of asialoglycopeptide. The sialylated glycoprotein is a valuable tool for investigating the molecular mechanisms of biological and physiological events, such as cell-cell recognition and viral entry during infection.
