Abstract
The many emerging applications of microalgae such as Chlorella also instigate interest in their ability to conduct protein modifications such as N-glycosylation. Chlorella vulgaris has recently been shown to equip its proteins with highly O-methylated oligomannosidic N-glycans. Two other frequently occurring species names are Chlorella sorokiniana and Chlorella pyrenoidosa-even though the latter is taxonomically ill defined. We analyzed by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy the N-glycans of type culture collection strains of C. sorokiniana and of a commercial product labeled C. pyrenoidosa. Both samples contained arabinose, which has hitherto not been found in N-glycans. Apart from this only commonality, the structures differed fundamentally from each other and from that of N-glycans of land plants. Despite these differences, the two algae lines exhibited considerable homology in their ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 rDNA sequences. These drastic differences of N-glycan structures between species belonging to the very same genus provoke questions as to the biological function on a unicellular organism.

Fairbanks AJ. Synthetic and semi-synthetic approaches to unprotected N-glycan oxazolines. Beilstein J Org Chem 2018; 14:416-429.

Abstract
N-Glycan oxazolines have found widespread use as activated donor substrates for endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase) enzymes, an important application that has correspondingly stimulated interest in their production, both by total synthesis and by semi-synthesis using oligosaccharides isolated from natural sources. Amongst the many synthetic approaches reported, the majority rely on the fabrication (either by total synthesis, or semi-synthesis from locust bean gum) of a key Manβ(1-4)GlcNAc disaccharide, which can then be elaborated at the 3- and 6-positions of the mannose unit using standard glycosylation chemistry. Early approaches subsequently relied on the Lewis acid catalysed conversion of peracetylated N-glycan oligosaccharides produced in this manner into their corresponding oxazolines, followed by global deprotection. However, a key breakthrough in the field has been the development by Shoda of 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC), and related reagents, which can direct convert an oligosaccharide with a 2-acetamido sugar at the reducing terminus directly into the corresponding oxazoline in water. Therefore, oxazoline formation can now be achieved in water as the final step of any synthetic sequence, obviating the need for any further protecting group manipulations, and simplifying synthetic strategies. As an alternative to total synthesis, significant quantities of several structurally complicated N-glycans can be isolated from natural sources, such as egg yolks and soy bean flour. Enzymatic transformations of these materials, in concert with DMC-mediated oxazoline formation as a final step, allow access to a selection of N-glycan oxazoline structures both in larger quantities and in a more expedient fashion than is achievable by total synthesis.

Abstract
The utilization of substoichiometric amounts of commercially available nickel(II) triflate as an activator in the reagent-controlled glycosylation reaction for the stereoselective construction of biologically relevant targets containing 1,2-cis-2-amino glycosidic linkages is reported. This straightforward and accessible methodology is mild, operationally simple and safe through catalytic activation by readily available Ni(OTf)2 in comparison to systems employing our previously in-house prepared Ni(4-F-PhCN)4(OTf)2. We anticipate that the bench-stable and inexpensive Ni(OTf)2, coupled with little to no extra laboratory training to set up the glycosylation reaction and no requirement of specialized equipment, should make this methodology be readily adopted by non-carbohydrate specialists. This report further highlights the efficacy of Ni(OTf)2 to prepare several bioactive motifs, such as blood type A-type V and VI antigens, heparin sulfate disaccharide repeating unit, aminooxy glycosides, and α-GalNAc-Serine conjugate, which cannot be achieved in high yield and α-selectivity utilizing in-house prepared Ni(4-F-PhCN)4(OTf)2 catalyst. The newly-developed protocol eliminates the need for the synthesis of Ni(4-F-PhCN)4(OTf)2 and is scalable and reproducible. Furthermore, computational simulations in combination with 1H NMR studies analyzed the effects of various solvents on the intramolecular hydrogen bonding network of tumor-associated mucin Fmoc-protected GalNAc-threonine amino acid antigen derivative, verifying discrepancies found that were previously unreported.

Abstract
Shigella flexneri 3a causes bacillary dysentery. Its O-antigen has the {2)-[α-d-Glcp-(1→3)]-α-l-Rhap-(1→2)-α-l-Rhap-(1→3)-[Ac→2]-α-l-Rhap-(1→3)-[Ac→6]≈40 % -β-d-GlcpNAc-(1→} ([(E)ABAc CAc D]) repeating unit, and the non-O-acetylated equivalent defines S. flexneri X. Propyl hepta-, octa-, and decasaccharides sharing the (E')A'BAc CD(E)A sequence, and their non-O-acetylated analogues were synthesized from a fully protected BAc CD(E)A allyl glycoside. The stepwise introduction of orthogonally protected mono- and disaccharide imidate donors was followed by a two-step deprotection process. Monoclonal antibody binding to twenty-six S. flexneri types 3a and X di- to decasaccharides was studied by an inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and STD-NMR spectroscopy. Epitope mapping revealed that the 2C -acetate dominated the recognition by monoclonal IgG and IgM antibodies and that the BAc CD segment was essential for binding. The glucosyl side chain contributed to a lesser extent, albeit increasingly with the chain length. Moreover, tr-NOESY analysis also showed interaction but did not reveal any meaningful conformational change upon antibody binding.

Abstract
We report the convergent synthesis of two novel tetrasaccharide and two novel pentasaccharide fragments of the Le(a)Le(x) TACA: the tetrasaccharides contain neither the galactose at the Le(a) nonreducing end nor the fucose at the Le(x) reducing end; the pentasaccharides only lack the galactose residue at the Le(a) nonreducing end. Two of the analogues were prepared as hexyl glycosides to be used in NMR experiments and as soluble inhibitors in binding studies and two as 6-aminohexyl glycosides to be conjugated to carrier proteins. Our strategy relied on stepwise extensions using excess monosaccharide glycosyl donors (trichloroacetimidates and thioglycosides) in sequential glycosylation reactions. The protecting groups were chosen to limit the number of deprotection steps required to obtain the final derivatives. While this strategy ensured that all glycosylation reactions proceeded in very good yields (70-84%), deprotection of the oligosaccharide intermediates was challenging. Global deprotection using Birch metal dissolving conditions did not remove the tert-butyldiphenylsilyl group, which indeed was incompatible with such reaction conditions. Attempts to remove the TBDPS with tetrabutylammonium fluoride was unsuccessful and led to a complex mixture of compounds that could not be separated. The desired hexyl and aminohexyl tetrasaccharides were finally obtained after four- and five-step deprotection sequences, respectively. Deprotection of the pentasaccharide intermediate to give the hexyl and aminohexyl analogues also led to unexpected results. Indeed, during Zemplén deacylation, a chloroacetamide chlorine atom was displaced by methoxide ions leading to the corresponding methoxyacetamide. Once the chloroacetamide was fully reduced to an acetamide the pentasaccharides were obtained in four and five steps, respectively.

Abstract
Starting from tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal, a combination of the Overman rearrangement and subsequent dihydroxylation produces a range of aminosugars. These can be activated by formation of the corresponding trichloro-oxazolines, which are excellent glycosyl donors as they form disaccharides with good (trans) stereoselectivity under mild conditions. Propagation of these trichloro-oxazolines gave trisaccharides that can then be dehalogenated under a variety of conditions. [reaction: see text]

Abstract
Two analogues of the Le(x) trisaccharide, alpha-L-Fucp-(1-->3)-[beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)]-D-Glcp were synthesized as allyl glycosides. In these derivatives either only the N-acetylglucosamine is replaced by glucose or both the N-acetylglucosamine and the fucosyl residue are replaced by glucose and rhamnose, respectively. Our synthetic scheme used armed beta-thiophenyl fuco- and rhamnoside glycosyl donors that were prepared anomerically pure from the corresponding alpha-glycosyl bromides. The protecting groups were chosen to allow access to the fully deprotected trisaccharides without reduction of the allyl glycosidic group. These analogues will be used as soluble antigens in binding experiments with anti-Le(x) antibodies and can also be conjugated to a carrier protein and used as immunogens. In the course of this synthetic work, we also describe the use of reversed-phase HPLC to purify key protected trisaccharide intermediates prior to their deprotection.

Abstract
Inflammatory breast carcinoma (IBC) is characterized by florid tumor emboli within lymphovascular spaces called lymphovascular invasion. These emboli have a unique microscopic appearance of compact clumps of tumor cells retracted away from the surrounding endothelial cell layer. Using a human SCID model of IBC (MARY-X), we, in previous studies, demonstrated that the tumor cell embolus (IBC spheroid) forms on the basis of an intact and overexpressed E-cadherin/alpha,beta-catenin axis that mediates tumor cell-tumor cell adhesion. In the present study we examine the mechanism behind the apparent lack of binding of the tumor embolus to the surrounding endothelium. We find that this lack of tumor cell binding is because of markedly decreased sialyl-Lewis(x/a) (sLe(x/a)) carbohydrate ligand-binding epitopes on its overexpressed MUC1 and other surface molecules that bind endothelial E-selectin. Decreased sLe(x/a) is because of decreased alpha3/4-fucosyltransferase activity in MARY-X. The decreased sLe(x/a) fail to confer electrostatic repulsions between tumor cells, which further contributes to the compactness of the MARY-X spheroid by allowing the E-cadherin homodimeric interactions to go unopposed. MARY-X spheroids were retrovirally transfected with FucT-III cDNA, significantly raising their levels of fucosyltransferase activity and surface sLe(x/a). In parallel experiments, enzymatic transfers with a milk alpha1,3-fucosyltransferase and an alpha2,3-sialyltransferase (ST3GalIV) were performed on the MARY-X spheroids and increased surface sLe(x/a). The addition of sLe(x/a) by either manipulation caused disadherence of the MARY-X spheroids and the disruption of the E-cadherin homodimers mediating cell adhesion. Our findings support the cooperative relationship of sLe(x/a) underexpression and E-cadherin overexpression in the genesis of the lymphovascular embolus of IBC.

Abstract
Chondroitin AC lyase from Flavobacterium heparinum degrades chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycans via an elimination mechanism, resulting in disaccharides or oligosaccharides with Delta4,5-unsaturated uronic acid residues at their nonreducing end. The syntheses and testing of two potential inhibitors of this lyase are described. Methyl O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1-->4)-alpha-L-threo-hex-4-enopyranoside, 1, has the trigonal geometry at C5 of the uronic acid moiety expected at the transition state, yet retains the "leaving group" sugar moiety. Surprisingly, compound 1 showed no inhibition of the enzyme. The novel 5-nitro sugar, phenyl (5S)-5-nitro-beta-D-xylopyranoside, 2, is a monosaccharide nitro analogue of the natural substrate, with C5 being a carbon acid of pK(a) 8.8. The rate of reprotonation of the anion generated at this center is sufficiently low that the anion of 2 can be used directly in initial steady-state velocity measurements without significant interference from the conjugate carbon acid. The anion of compound 2 was found to be a competitive inhibitor with a K(i) value of 5 mM, whereas the conjugate acid had a K(i) value of 35 mM.

Abstract
The alpha-L-Fucp-(1 --> 3)-D-GlcpNAc disaccharide structure is a vital core unit of the oligosaccharide components of glycoconjugates isolated from human milk and blood group substances. Alpha-L-Fucosidase from Penicillium multicolor catalyses the transfer of L-fucose from donor structures such as alpha-L-FucpOpNP and alpha-L-FucpF to various GlcpNAc derivatives and Glcp, forming alpha-(1 --> 3) linkages. The synthesis of several biologically relevant disaccharides including alpha-L-Fucp-(1 --> 3)-alpha-D-GlcpNAcOMe, alpha-L-Fucp-(1 --> 3)-alpha-D-GlcpNAcOAll, alpha-L-Fucp-(1 --> 3)-beta-D-GlcpNAcOAll, alpha-L-Fucp-(1 --> 3)-D-GlcpNAc and alpha-L-Fucp-(1 --> 3)-D-Glcp has been achieved in up to 34% yields by application of this enzyme.

Abstract
The syntheses are reported of beta-D-GlcpA-(1-->3)-beta-D-GalpNAc-(1-->4)-beta-D-GlcpA-(1- ->3)-beta-D-GalpNAc-(1-->4)-beta-D-GlcpA-(1-->OMe), O-sulfonated at C-4 or C-6 of the aminosugar moieties, which represent structural elements of chondroitin 4- and 6-sulfate proteoglycans. Starting from a synthetic disaccharide glycosyl acceptor, the stepwise or blockwise construction of the sugar backbone with appropriate synthons led to a pentasaccharide tetraol, which was used as a common intermediate. Selective 6-O-sulfonation of this tetraol, followed by saponification, gave the 6-sulfate derivative, whereas selective 6-O-benzoylation, followed by O-sulfonation and saponification, afforded the 4-sulfate derivative as their sodium salts.

Abstract
The synthesis of methyl (beta-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid)-(1-->3)-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-6-O-sulfonato-beta-D-galactopyr anosyl)-(1-->4)-(beta-D-glucopyranosid)uronate trisodium salt, a chondroitin 6-sulfate trisaccharide derivative, is described. Loss of stereocontrol in glycosylation reactions involving activated 4,6-O-benzylidene derivatives of the 2-deoxy-2-trichloroacetamido-D-galacto series and D-glucuronic acid-derived acceptors was highlighted. This draw-back was overcome through the use of phenyl 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-1-thio-2-trichloroacetamido-beta-D-gala ctopyranoside, which afforded the desired beta-linked disaccharide derivative in high yield with an excellent stereoselectivity. This later was submitted to acid-catalyzed methanolysis, followed by benzylidenation, and condensed with methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-1-O-trichloroacetimidoyl-alpha-D-glucopyran uronate to afford the expected trisaccharide derivative. Subsequent transformation of the N-trichloroacetyl group into N-acetyl, mild acid hydrolysis, selective O-sulfonation at C-6 of the amino sugar moiety, and saponification afforded the target molecule as its sodium salt in high yield.
