Connective tissue of the freshwater pulmonate Lymnaea stagnalis was shown to contain fucosyltransferase activity capable of transferring fucose from GDP-Fuc in alpha 1 -2 linkage to terminal Gal of type 3 (Gal beta 1-3GalNAc) acceptors, and in alpha 1-3 linkage to GlcNAc ot type 2 (Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc) acceptors. The alpha 1-2 fucosyltransferase was active with Gal beta 1-3GalNAc beta 1-OCH2CH=CH2 (Km = 12mM, V(max) = 1.3 mUml-1) and Gal beta 1-3GalNAc (km =20 mM, V(max) = 2.1 mUml-1), whereas the alpha 1-3 fucosyltransferase was active with Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc (Km = 23 mM, V(max) = 1.1 mUml-1). The products formed from from Gal beta 1-3GalNAc beta 1-OCH2CH=CH2 and Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc were purified by high performance liquid chromatography, and identified by 500 MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy and methylation analysis to be Fucalpha1-2Gal beta 1-3GalNAc beta 1-OCH2CH=CH2 and Gal beta 1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAc, respectively. Competition experiments suggest that the two fucosyltransferase activities are due to two distinct enzymes.
淡水肺螺类椎实螺的结缔组织被证明含有岩藻糖基转移酶活性,该酶能够将GDP - Fuc中的岩藻糖以α1 - 2连接方式转移到3型(Galβ1 - 3GalNAc)受体的末端Gal上,并以α1 - 3连接方式转移到2型(Galβ1 - 4GlcNAc)受体的GlcNAc上。α1 - 2岩藻糖基转移酶对Galβ1 - 3GalNAcβ1 - OCH2CH = CH2(Km = 12mM,V(max) = 1.3 mUml-1)和Galβ1 - 3GalNAc(km = 20 mM,V(max) = 2.1 mUml-1)具有活性,而α1 - 3岩藻糖基转移酶对Galβ1 - 4GlcNAc(Km = 23 mM,V(max) = 1.1 mUml-1)具有活性。由Galβ1 - 3GalNAcβ1 - OCH2CH = CH2和Galβ1 - 4GlcNAc形成的产物通过高效液相色谱法纯化,并通过500 MHz 1H - NMR光谱和甲基化分析鉴定,分别为Fucα1 - 2Galβ1 - 3GalNAcβ1 - OCH2CH = CH2和Galβ1 - 4(Fucα1 - 3)GlcNAc。竞争实验表明,这两种岩藻糖基转移酶活性是由两种不同的酶引起的。
