摘要: Fucosyloligosaccharides have great therapeutic potential. Here we present a new route for synthesizing Fucα1,2Gal linkage by introducing glycosynthase technology into 1,2-α-l-fucosidase. The enzyme adopts unique reaction mechanism, in which asparagine-423 activated aspartic acid-766 acts as base while asparagine-421 fixes both catalytic water and glutamic acid-566 (an acid) the proper orientations. Glycosynthase activity of N421G, N423G, D766G mutants was examined using β-fucosyl fluoride lactose, among them, mutant most effectively synthesized 2′-fucosyllactose. 1,2-α-l-Fucosynthase is first derived from an inverting α-glycosidase glycosidase with unusual mechanism.
