2-ketoGlc, which is the C(2)-carbon isostere of GlcNAc, is a novel GlcNAc analogue with a ketone group. The corresponding glycosyltransferase donor substrate, UDP-2-ketoGlc, is necessary for synthesizing 2-ketoGlc-containing molecules and is thus highly important for metabolic polysaccharide remodeling and engineering. We report here the first chemoenzymatic synthesis of UDP-2-ketoGlc using our two-enzyme (NahK and GlmU) system in vitro.
2-酮葡萄糖(2-ketoGlc)是 GlcNAc 的 C(2)-碳类似物,是一种具有酮基的新型 GlcNAc 类似物。其相应的糖基转移酶供体底物 UDP-2-酮葡萄糖(UDP-2-ketoGlc)对于合成含有 2-酮葡萄糖的分子是必需的,因此对于代谢多糖的重塑和工程非常重要。我们在此报告了首次使用我们的双酶(NahK 和 GlmU)体外系统进行 UDP-2-酮葡萄糖的化学酶合成。
