UDP-sugar analogs are useful for the study of glycosyltransferases and the production of unnatural glycans. The preparation of five UDP-GlcNAc derivatives is reported with 6-deoxy, 6-azido, 6-amino, 6-mercapto, or 6-fluoro substitutions. A concise chemoenzymatic synthesis was developed using the kinase NahK (B. longum JCM1217) and the uridyl transferase GlmU (E. coli K12).
UDP-糖类似物可用于糖基转移酶的研究和非天然聚糖的生产。本文报道了 5 种 UDP-GlcNAc 衍生物的制备,其中包括 6-脱氧、6-叠氮、6-氨基、6-巯基或 6-氟取代基。利用激酶 NahK(长双歧杆菌 JCM1217)和尿苷酰转移酶 GlmU(大肠杆菌 K12),开发了一种简洁的化学酶合成方法。
