A synthetic analogue of a trisaccharide fragment of the Trypanosoma brucei Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) GlycosylPhosphatidyInositiol (GPI) anchor, Gal-alpha-1,3(Man-alpha-1,6)-Man-alpha-O-octyl (1), serves as a substrate for two T. brucei alpha-galactosyltransferases. The principle tetrasaccharide product derived from (1) contains a Gal-alpha-1,2-Gal linkage.
布氏锥虫可变表面糖蛋白(VSG)糖基磷脂酰肌醇(GPI)锚定的三糖片段的合成类似物,Gal-α-1,3(Man-α-1,6)-Man-α-O-辛基(1),作为两种布氏锥虫α-半乳糖基转移酶的底物。由(1)衍生的主要四糖产物含有Gal-α-1,2-Gal连接。
