The complex oligosaccharide mixtures are analysed by capillary normal-phase (NP)-LC and ESI-MS. Importantly, arabinoxylan oligosaccharide isomers are separated by NP-LC and their relative abundance in different samples can be determined from the intensities of ions labeled with the different isotopes. OliQuIT will be of use in multiple applications, including screening for plant varieties with improved saccharification properties, characterizing glycosyl hydrolase specificities and analysing plant glycosyl transferase mutants.STICS surface-tethered iterative carbohydrate synthesis.Pornsuriyasak P(1), Ranade SC, Li A, Parlato MC, Sims CR, Shulga OV, Stine KJ, A new surface-tethered iterative carbohydrate synthesis (STICS) technology is presented in which a surface functionalized 'stick' made of chemically stable high surface area porous gold allows one to perform cost efficient and simple synthesis of oligosaccharide chains; at the end of the synthesis, the oligosaccharide can be cleaved off and the stick reused for subsequent Allosteric regulation provides a molecular mechanism for preferential utilization of the fully assembled dolichol-linked oligosaccharide by the yeast The oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) preferentially utilizes the fully assembled dolichol-linked oligosaccharide Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol as the donor for N-linked glycosylation of asparagine residues in N-X-TS consensus sites in newly synthesized proteins. Seebio Lactose-N-neotetraose of assembly intermediates glycosylation of peptide acceptor substrates in vitro or of nascent glycoproteins in mutant cells that are defective in donor substrate assembly.

A kinetic mechanism that can account for the selection of the fully assembled donor substrate from a complex mixture of dolichol-linked oligosaccharides of the OST were reinvestigated using a proteoliposome assay system consisting of the purified yeast enzyme, near-homogeneous preparations of a dolichol-linked oligosaccharide (Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol or Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol) and an acceptor tripeptide was only slightly enhanced when Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol was the donor substrate relative to when Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol was the donor substrate. Evaluation of the kinetic data for both donor substrates showed deviations from typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Sigmoidal saturation curves, Lineweaver-Burk plots with upward curvature, and apparent Hill coefficients of about 1 suggested a substrate activation mechanism involving distinct regulatory (activator) and catalytic binding sites for OS-PP-Dol. Results of competition experiments using either oligosaccharide donor as an alternative substrate were also consistent with this hypothesis. We propose that binding of either donor substrate to the activator site substantially enhances Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol occupancy of the enzyme catalytic site via Comparison of oligosaccharide labeling employing reductive amination and In this work, we compare labeling by two negatively charged fluorescent labels, 8-aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid (APTS) and 8-(2-hydrazino-2-oxoethoxy)pyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid (Cascade Blue hydrazide [CBH]). lacto-n-neotetraose of the labeling chemistries were investigated by 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and maltoheptaose followed by LCUV-MS and CELIF analysis, respectively. The reaction yield of APTS labeling was determined to be only ∼%.

This is due to reduction of almost % of the analyte by sodium cyanoborohydride to alcohol, which cannot be further labeled via reductive amination. However, the CBH labeling provides ∼% reaction yield based on the LCUV-MS measurements. The significantly higher labeling yield was also confirmed by CELIF measurements. Finally, the more effective hydrazone formation technique of CBH was characterized and applied for N-linked glycan Synthesis of artificial glycoconjugate polymers starting from enzymatically synthesized oligosaccharides and their interactions with lectins.Styrene derivatives substituted with N-linked beta-anomeric oligosaccharides were synthesized via a simple two-step procedure starting from three enzymatically prepared oligosaccharides N-acetyllactosamine (Galbeta1-4GlcNAc), N-acetylisolactosamine (Galbeta1-6GlcNAc), and 4'-galactosyllactose using 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator in dimethyl sulfoxide at degreesC gave the corresponding glycopolymers. Binding between glycopolymers and lectins was investigated by means of hemagglutination inhibition experiments. The inhibition of RCA1 lectin-induced hemagglutination by N-acetyllactosamine-carrying homopolymer was about (3) times stronger than that of the oligosaccharide itself.
