title: Efficient synthesis of a sialyl T-antigen-linked glycopeptide by the chemoenzymatic method.
abstract: A sialyl T-antigen-linked tetrapeptide was prepared by the combined method of chemical synthesis and enzymatic synthesis. The GalNAc-linked peptide was first obtained by using a commercial peptide synthesizer, and then a galactose residue was attached with beta-(1-->3)-linkage by transglycosylating with a recombinant beta-galactosidase from Bacillus circulans. The sialic acid residue was then combined by alpha-(2-->3)-linkage with sialytransferase from rat liver.
