    Notes: Abstract UDP-GlcNAc: Manα1-6R β(1-2)-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase II (GlcNAc-T II; EC 2.4.1.143) is a key enzyme in the synthesis of complexN-glycans. We have tested a series of synthetic analogues of the substrate Man‴α1-6(GlcNAc″β1-2Man′α1-3)Manβ-O-octyl as substrates and inhibitors for rat liver GlcNAc-T II. The enzyme attachesN-acetylglucosamine in β1-2 linkage to the 2‴-OH of the Man‴α1-6 residue. The 2‴-deoxy analogue is a competitive inhibitor (K i=0.13mm). The 2‴-O-methyl compound does not bind to the enzyme presumably due to steric hindrance. The 3‴-, 4‴- and 6‴-OH groups are not essential for binding or catalysis since the 3‴-, 4‴- and 6‴-deoxy and -O-methyl derivatives are all good substrates. Increasing the size of the substituent at the 3‴-position to pentyl and substituted pentyl groups causes competitive inhibition (K i=1.0–2.5mm). We have taken advantage of this effect to synthesize two potentially irreversible GlcNAc-T II inhibitors containing a photolabile 3‴-O-(4,4-azo)pentyl group and a 3‴-O-(5-iodoacetamido)pentyl group respectively. The data indicate that none of the hydroxyls of the Man‴α1-6 residue are essential for binding although the 2‴- and 3‴-OH face the catalytic site of the enzyme. The 4-OH group of the Manβ-O-octyl residue is not essential for binding or catalysis since the 4-deoxy derivative is a good substrate; the 4-O-methyl derivative does not bind. This contrasts with GlcNAc-T I which cannot bind to the 4-deoxy-Manβ- substrate analogue. The data are compatible with our previous observations that a ‘bisecting’N-acetylglucosamine at the 4-OH position prevents both GlcNAc-T I and GlcNAc-T II catalysis. However, in the case of GlcNAc-T II, the bisectingN-acetylglucosamine prevents binding due to steric hindrance rather than to removal of an essential OH group. The 3′-OH of the Man′α1-3 is an essential group for GlcNAc-T II since the 3′-deoxy derivative does not bind to the enzyme. The trisaccharide GlcNAcβ1-2Manα1-3Manβ-O-octyl is a good inhibitor (K i=0.9mm). The above data together with previous studies indicate that binding of the GlcNAcβ1-2Manβ1-3Manβ- arm of the branched substrate to the enzyme is essential for catalysis.

    Notes: Three trisaccharide derivatives of the type β-D-Hexp-(1 → 4)-β-D-GlcpNAc(1 → 2)-α-D-Manp-(1 → O)(CH2)7CH3 have been synthesized, with Hex being either glucose (15), 4-deoxy-4-fluorogalactose (20), or 4-deoxygalactose (27). These trisaccharides have been designed for the study of the acceptor specificity of glycosyltransferases involved in termination of N-acetyllactosamine-type N-glycans. Allyl (2-O-acetyl-3,6-di-O-benzyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1 → 4)-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside (10) was synthesized by condensation of 2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-α-D-glucosypanosyl trichloroacetimidate with allyl 3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside, followed by 4′,6′-de-O-acetylation, 4′,6′-O-benzylidenation (8), and specific acetal ring opening. Acetylation or inverted fluorination of 10, followed by deallylation and imidation, gave suitable disaccharide donors which were each condensed with octyl 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-α-D-mannopyranoside (14) to afford the fully protected trisaccharides 15 and 20. Deallylation and imidation of 8, followed by coupling to 14 and subsequent specific acetal ring opening, triflation, halogenation, and reductive dehalogenation gave the protected 4″-deoxytrisaccharide.

    Notes: Building Units of Oligosaccharides, CI.  -  Synthesis of Modified Oligosaccharides of the N-Glycoproteins Intended for Substrate Specificity Studies of N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase II of the Trimming ProcessThe trichloroacetimidate method was very successful for the synthesis of the tetrasaccharide octyl O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1→2)-O-(α-D-mannopyranosyl)-(1→3)-O-[(α-D-mannopyranosyl)-(1→6)]-β-D-mannopyranoside (10). Further derivatives of the tetrasaccharide with a 4-O-methyl group 20 and with a 4-deoxy group 28 were synthesized. The tetrasaccharides are intended for substrate specificity studies of the N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase II of the trimming process in the biosynthesis of N-glycoproteins.
