title: Conversion of pyridylamino sugar chains to 1-amino-1-deoxy derivatives, intermediates for tagging with fluorescein and biotin.
abstract: Pyridylamino (PA) derivatives of sugar chains were converted to 1-amino-1-deoxy derivatives. PA-lactose as a model compound was reduced with hydrogen, then treated with hydrazine. The product obtained was identified as 1-amino-1-deoxylactitol by mass spectrometry and chromatography with 1-amino-1-deoxylactitol as standard. PA-N-acetylglucosamine was converted to 1-amino-1-deoxy-N-acetylglucosaminitol under the same conditions. As an application, Man alpha 1-6(Man alpha 1-3)Man alpha 1- 6(Man alpha 1-2Man alpha 1-3)-Man beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-4GlcNAc-PA was converted to the 1-amino-1-deoxy derivative, which was further derivatized with fluorescein isothiocyanate or biotin sulfo-N-hydroxy-succinimide ester. Binding of these derivatives to concanavalin A dot-blotted on a nitrocellulose membrane was confirmed by fluorescence and by streptavidin-peroxidase conjugate. This conversion allowed replacement of the PA-group in PA-sugar chains which can be easily purified from glycoconjugates.
