| Abstract: | By using two different reaction pathways, we generated enzymatically three sialylated and site-specifically alpha 1-3-fucosylated polylactosamines. Two of these are isomeric hexasaccharides Neu5Ac(alpha 2-3)Gal(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)Fuc(alpha 1-3)] GlcNAc and Neu5Ac(alpha 2-3)Gal(beta 1-4)Fuc(alpha 1-3)]GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4) GlcNAc, containing epitopes that correspond to VIM-2 and sialyl Lewis (x), respectively. The third one, nonasaccharide Neu5Ac(alpha 2-3)Gal(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)Fuc(alpha 1-3)] GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)Fuc(alpha 1-3)]GlcNAc, is a sialylated and internally difucosylated derivative of a trimeric N-acetyllactosamine. All three oligosaccharides have one fucose-free N-acetyllactosaminyl unit and can be used as acceptors for recombinant alpha 1-3-fucosyltransferases in determining the biosynthesis pathways leading to polyfucosylated selectin ligands. |
