title: A spacer-modified disaccharide as a photoaffinity reagent for the acceptor-binding area of bovine (1----4)-beta-D-galactosyltransferase: comparison of its acceptor properties with those of other 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosides.
abstract: The spacer-modified disaccharide 1,10-di-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-2-azi-1,10- decanediol (10) that mimics the biantennary core heptasaccharide of N-glycoproteins has been synthesised. Compound 10 is an excellent acceptor in galactosyltransferase-catalysed galactosylation by UDP-galactose, is superior (7-8-fold) to analogues that have only one GlcNAc unit, and is an efficient photoaffinity reagent for galactosyltransferase. In the presence of UDP-Gal, no photoaffinity labelling by 10 takes place, which agrees with the mechanism of galactosyltransferase action.
