Abstract
We describe a chemoenzymatic strategy that can give a library of differentially fucosylated and sialylated oligosaccharides starting from a single chemically synthesized tri-N-acetyllactosamine derivative. The common precursor could easily be converted into 6 different hexasaccharides in which the glucosamine moieties are either acetylated (GlcNAc) or modified as a free amine (GlcNH2 ) or Boc (GlcNHBoc). Fucosylation of the resulting compounds by a recombinant fucosyl transferase resulted in only modification of the natural GlcNAc moieties, providing access to 6 selectively mono- and bis-fucosylated oligosaccharides. Conversion of the GlcNH2 or GlcNHBoc moieties into the natural GlcNAc, followed by sialylation by sialyl transferases gave 12 differently fucosylated and sialylated compounds. The oligosaccharides were printed as a microarray that was probed by several glycan-binding proteins, demonstrating that complex patterns of fucosylation can modulate glycan recognition.

Abstract
This review describes the use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and continues coverage of the field from the previous review published in 1999 (D. J. Harvey, Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry of carbohydrates, 1999, Mass Spectrom Rev, 18:349-451) for the period 1999-2000. As MALDI mass spectrometry is acquiring the status of a mature technique in this field, there has been a greater emphasis on applications rather than to method development as opposed to the previous review. The present review covers applications to plant-derived carbohydrates, N- and O-linked glycans from glycoproteins, glycated proteins, mucins, glycosaminoglycans, bacterial glycolipids, glycosphingolipids, glycoglycerolipids and related compounds, and glycosides. Applications of MALDI mass spectrometry to the study of enzymes acting on carbohydrates (glycosyltransferases and glycosidases) and to the synthesis of carbohydrates, are also covered.

Abstract
Enzymatic alpha 2,3-sialylation of GalNAc has not been described previously, although some glycoconjugates containing alpha 2,3-sialylated GalNAc residues have been reported. In the present experiments, recombinant soluble alpha 2,3-sialyltransferase ST3Gal II efficiently sialylated the X(2) pentasaccharide GalNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc, globo-N-tetraose GalNAc beta 1-3Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-4Glc, and the disaccharide GalNAc beta 1-3Gal in vitro. The purified products were identified as Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc, Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc beta 1-3Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-4Glc, and Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc beta 1-3Gal, respectively, by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, enzymatic degradations, and one- and two-dimensional NMR-spectroscopy. In particular, the presence of the Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc linkage was firmly established in all three products by a long range correlation between Neu5Ac C2 and GalNAc H3 in heteronuclear multiple bond correlation spectra. Collectively, the data describe the first successful sialyltransfer reactions to the 3-position of GalNAc in any acceptor. Previously, ST3Gal II has been shown to transfer to the Gal beta 1-3GalNAc determinant. Consequently, the present data show that the enzyme is multifunctional, and could be renamed ST3Gal(NAc) II. In contrast to ST3Gal II, ST3Gal III did not transfer to the X(2) pentasaccharide. The Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc linkage of sialyl X(2) was cleaved by sialidases from Arthrobacter ureafaciens and Clostridium perfringens, but resisted the action of sialidases from Newcastle disease virus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Therefore, the latter two enzymes cannot be used to differentiate between Neu5Ac alpha 2-3GalNAc and Neu5Ac alpha 2-6GalNAc linkages, as has been assumed previously.

Abstract
We report here on in vitro acceptor and site specificity of recombinant alpha3-fucosyltransferase V (Fuc-TV) with 40 oligosaccharide acceptors. Galbeta1-4GlcNAc (LN) and GalNAcbeta1-4GlcNAc (LDN) reacted rapidly; Galbeta1-3GlcNAc (LNB) reacted moderately, and GlcNAcbeta1-4GlcNAc (N, N'-diacetyl-chitobiose) reacted slowly yet distinctly. In neutral and terminally alpha3-sialylated polylactosamines of i-type, the reducing end LN unit reacted rapidly and the distal (sialyl)LN group very slowly; the midchain LNs revealed intermediate reactivities. The data suggest that a distal LN neighbor enhances but a proximal LN neighbor reduces the reactivity of the midchain LNs. This implies that Fuc-TV may bind preferably the tetrasaccharide sequence Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc for transfer at the underlined monosaccharide. Terminal alpha3-sialylation of i-type polylactosamines almost doubled the reactivities of the LN units at all positions of the chains. We conclude that, in comparison with human Fuc-TIV and Fuc-TIX, Fuc-TV reacted with a highly distinct site specificity with i-type polylactosamines. The Fuc-TV reactivity of free LNB resembled that of LNBbeta1-3'R of a polylactosamine, contrasting strongly with the dissimilarity of the reactivities of the analogous pair of LN and LNbeta1-3'R. This observation supports the notion that LN and LNB may be functionally bound at distinct sites on Fuc-TV surface. Our data show that Fuc-TV worked well with a very wide range of LN-glycans, showing weak reactivity only with distal (sialyl)LN units of i-type polylactosamines, biantennary N-glycans, and I branches of polylactosamines.

Abstract
Fucosylated oligosaccharides occur throughout nature and many of them play a variety of roles in biology, especially in a number of recognition processes. As reviewed here, much of the recent emphasis in the study of the oligosaccharides in mammals has been on their potential medical importance, particularly in inflammation and cancer. Indeed, changes in fucosylation patterns due to different levels of expression of various fucosyltransferases can be used for diagnoses of some diseases and monitoring the success of therapies. In contrast, there are generally at present only limited data on fucosylation in non-mammalian organisms. Here, the state of current knowledge on the fucosylation abilities of plants, insects, snails, lower eukaryotes and prokaryotes will be summarised.

Abstract
Tremendous advances in biocatalytic approaches to oligosaccharide synthesis have taken place in the past two years. The use of isolated enzymes, both glycosyltransferases and glycosidases, or engineered whole cells allows the preparation of natural oligosaccharides and analogs required for glycobiology research.

Abstract
L-selectin guides lymphocytes into peripheral lymphoid tissues by recognizing glycoprotein ligands decorated with 6-sulfated sialyl Lewis x (sulfo sLex). Here we have used a rat peripheral lymph node high endothelial cell line (Ax) to study in detail the synthesis, expression and degradation of sLex epitope. We show here that Ax cells possess active alpha(1,3)fucosyltransferase Fuc-TVII, the enzyme responsible for the final fucosylation of sialyl-N-acetyllactosamine during sLex synthesis, and express sLex on the cell surface. Furthermore, these cells degrade sLex, primarily by desialylating it to neutral Lex epitopes by alpha(2,3)sialidase(s).

Abstract
Multifucosylated sialo-polylactosamines are known to be high affinity ligands for E-selectin. PSGL-1, the physiological ligand of P-selectin, is decorated in HL-60 cells by a sialylated and triply fucosylated polylactosamine that is believed to be of functional importance. Mimicking some of these saccharide structures, we have synthesized enzymatically a bivalent [sialyl diLex]-glycan, Neu5Acalpha2-3'Lexbeta1-3'Lexbeta1-3'(Neu5Acalpha2-3'Lexbeta1-3Lexbe ta1-6')LN [where Neu5Ac is N-acetylneuraminic acid, Lex is the trisaccharide Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAc and LN is the disaccharide Galbeta1-4GlcNAc]. Several structurally related, novel polylactosamine glycans were also constructed. The inhibitory effects of these glycans on two L-selectin-dependent, lymphocyte-to-endothelium adhesion processes of rats were analysed in ex-vivo Stamper-Woodruff binding assays. The IC50 value of the bivalent [sialyl diLex]-glycan at lymph node high endothelium was 50 nm, but at the capillaries of rejecting cardiac allografts it was only 5 nm. At both adhesion sites, the inhibition was completely dependent on the presence of fucose units on the sialylated LN units of the inhibitor saccharide. These data show that the bivalent [sialyl diLex]-glycan is a high affinity ligand for L-selectin, and may reduce extravasation of lymphocytes at sites of inflammation in vivo without severely endangering the normal recirculation of lymphocytes via lymph nodes.

Abstract
In the present experiments the cDNA coding for a truncated form of the beta1,6N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase responsible for the conversion of linear to branched polylactosamines in human PA1 cells was expressed in Sf9 insect cells. The catalytic ectodomain of the enzyme was fused to glutathione S-transferase, allowing effective one-step purification of the glycosylated 67-74-kDa fusion protein. Typically a yield of 750 microg of the purified protein/liter of suspension culture was obtained. The purified recombinant protein catalyzed the transfer of GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to the linear tetrasaccharide Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc, converting the acceptor to the branched pentasaccharide Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3(GlcNAcbeta1-6)Galbeta1-4 GlcNAc as shown by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, degradative experiments, and 1H NMR spectroscopy of the product. By contrast, the recombinant enzyme did not catalyze any reaction when incubated with UDP-GlcNAc and the trisaccharide GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc. Accordingly, we call the recombinant beta1,6-GlcNAc transferase cIGnT6 to emphasize its action at central rather than peridistal galactose residues of linear polylactosamines in the biosynthesis of blood group I antigens. Taken together this in vitro expression of I-branching enzyme, in combination with the previously cloned enzymes, beta1,4galactosyltransferase and beta1, 3N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, should allow the general synthesis of polylactosamines based totally on the use of recombinant enzymes.
