Rapid screening of sugar-nucleotide donor specificities of putative glycosyltransferases. Glycobiology 2018; 27:206-212. [PMID: 28177478 DOI: 10.1093/glycob/cww114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2016] [Revised: 10/20/2016] [Accepted: 11/17/2016] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Determining the correct enzymatic activity of putative glycosyltransferases (GTs) can be challenging as these enzymes can utilize multiple donor and acceptor substrates. Upon initial determination of the donor-sugar nucleotide(s), a GT utilizes various acceptor molecules that can then be tested. Here, we describe a quick method to screen sugar-nucleotide donor specificities of GTs utilizing a sensitive, nonradioactive, commercially available bioluminescent uridine diphosphate detection kit. This in vitro method allowed us to validate the sugar-nucleotide donor-substrate specificities of recombinantly expressed human, bovine, bacterial and protozoan GTs. Our approach, which is less time consuming than many traditional assays that utilize radiolabeled sugars and chromatographic separations, should facilitate discovery of novel GTs that participate in diverse biological processes.

Abstract
A series of novel 5-substituted UDP-glucose derivatives with interesting fluorescent properties and potential applications as sensors for carbohydrate-active enzymes is reported. An efficient synthesis of the target molecules was developed, centred around the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of (hetero)arylboronic acids with 5-iodo UDP-glucose. Interestingly, the optimised cross-coupling conditions could also be applied successfully to 5-bromo UMP, but not to 5-bromo UDP-glucose.
