Recombinant (2-->3)-alpha-sialyltransferase immobilized on nickel-agarose for preparative synthesis of sialyl Lewis(x) and Lewis(a) precursor oligosaccharides.
The specificity of recombinant (2-->3)-alpha-sialyltransferase (ST3Gal-III), expressed in baculovirus-infected insect cells, has been determined with various oligosaccharide acceptors and sugar-nucleotide donors using a fluorescence based assay. Recombinant ST3Gal-III tagged with a polyhistidine tail was immobilized on Ni(2+)-NTA-Agarose as an active enzyme for use in the synthesis of three sialylated oligosaccharides: (i) the divalent molecule [alpha-Neu5Ac-(2-->3)-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-O-CH(2)](2)-C-(CH(2)OBn)(2) (12); (ii) the dansylated derivative, alpha-Neu5Ac-(2-->3)-D-Galp-(1-->3)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-O-(CH(2))(6)-NH-dansyl and; (iii) the tetrasacharide alpha-Neu5Ac-(2-->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1-->2)-alpha-D-Manp-O-CH(3). Compound 12 was itself prepared from the divalent N-acetyllactosamine molecule built on pentaerythritol by a chemo-enzymatic route.
