Selectins (L, E, and P) are vascular endothelial molecules that play an important role in the recruitment of leukocytes to inflamed tissue. In this regard, P-Selectin glycoprotein-1 (PSGL-1) has been identified as a ligand for P-Selectin. PSGL-1 binds to P-Selectin through the interaction of core-2 O-glycan expressing sialyl Lewis(x) oligosaccharide and the three tyrosine sulfate residues. Herein, we report the synthesis of threonine-linked core-2 O-glycan as an amino acid building block for the synthesis of PSGL-1. This building block was further incorporated in the Fmoc-assisted solid-phase peptide synthesis to provide a portion of the PSGL-1 glycopeptide.
选择素(L、E 和 P)是血管内皮分子,在白细胞募集到炎症组织中发挥重要作用。在这方面,P 选择素糖蛋白 1(PSGL-1)已被鉴定为 P 选择素的配体。PSGL-1 通过表达唾液酸化 Lewis(x) 寡糖的核心 2 O-聚糖和 3 个酪氨酸硫酸盐残基与 P-选择素结合。在此,我们报告了苏氨酸连接的核心 2 O-聚糖的合成,作为合成 PSGL-1 的氨基酸砌块。该砌块进一步被纳入 Fmoc 辅助固相肽合成中,以提供 PSGL-1 糖肽的一部分。
