Molecular basis of N-glycan recognition by pradimicin a and its potential as a SARS-CoV-2 entry inhibitor. Bioorg Med Chem 2024; 105:117732.

Abstract
Virus entry inhibitors are emerging as an attractive class of therapeutics for the suppression of viral transmission. Naturally occurring pradimicin A (PRM-A) has received particular attention as the first-in-class entry inhibitor that targets N-glycans present on viral surface. Despite the uniqueness of its glycan-targeted antiviral activity, there is still limited knowledge regarding how PRM-A binds to viral N-glycans. Therefore, in this study, we performed binding analysis of PRM-A with synthetic oligosaccharides that reflect the structural motifs characteristic of viral N-glycans. Binding assays and molecular modeling collectively suggest that PRM-A preferentially binds to branched oligomannose motifs of N-glycans via simultaneous recognition of two mannose residues at the non-reducing ends. We also demonstrated, for the first time, that PRM-A can effectively inhibit severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in vitro. Significantly, the anti-SARS-CoV-2 effect of PRM-A is attenuated in the presence of the synthetic branched oligomannose, suggesting that the inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 infection is due to the interaction of PRM-A with the branched oligomannose-containing N-glycans. These data provide essential information needed to understand the antiviral mechanism of PRM-A and suggest that PRM-A could serve as a candidate SARS-CoV-2 entry inhibitor targeting N-glycans.

Abstract
A modular approach to the synthesis of trivalent C-glycosidic carbohydrates is described. The approach is illustrated employing carboxylate-terminated C-glycosidic d-mannose, d-glucose, and d-galactose derivatives with different length C1-linked spacer units and also core units with different length linker units attached. The central core scaffold is additionally functionalized via a succinamide-based, conjugatable linker unit, exemplified in an extended multivalent derivative [31] and a pyrene-bearing fluorsecent-labeled tris-C-mannosyl conjugate [33].

Abstract
The CD22 antigen is a viable target for therapeutic intervention for B-cell lymphomas. Several therapeutic anti-CD22 antibodies as well as an anti-CD22-based immunotoxin (HA22) are currently under investigation in clinical settings. Coupling of anti-CD22 reagents with a nano-drug delivery vehicle is projected to significantly improve treatment efficacies. Therefore, we generated a mutant of the targeting segment of HA22 (a CD22 scFv) to increase its soluble expression (mut-HA22), and conjugated it to the surface of sonicated liposomes to generate immunoliposomes (mut-HA22-liposomes). We examined liposome binding and uptake by CD22(+) B-lymphocytes (BJAB) by using calcein and/or rhodamine PE-labeled liposomes. We also tested the effect of targeting on cellular toxicity with doxorubicin-loaded liposomes. We report that: (i) Binding of mut-HA22-liposomes to BJAB cells was significantly greater than liposomes not conjugated with mut-HA22 (control liposomes), and mut-HA22-liposomes bind to and are taken in by BJAB cells in a dose and temperature-dependent manner, respectively; (ii) This binding occurred via the interaction with the cellular CD22 as pre-incubation of the cells with mut-HA22 blocked subsequent liposome binding; (iii) Intracellular localization of mut-HA22-liposomes at 37 degrees C but not at 4 degrees C indicated that our targeted liposomes were taken up through an energy dependent process via receptor-mediated endocytosis; and (iv) Mut-HA22-liposomes loaded with doxorubicin exhibited at least 2-3 fold more accumulation of doxorubicin in BJAB cells as compared to control liposomes. Moreover, these liposomes showed at least a 2-4 fold enhanced killing of BJAB or Raji cells (CD22(+)), but not SUP-T1 cells (CD22(-)). Taken together these data suggest that these 2nd-generation liposomes may serve as promising carriers for targeted drug delivery to treat patients suffering from B-cell lymphoma.

Abstract
This review is the second update of the original review on the application of MALDI mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates that was published in 1999. It covers fundamental aspects of the technique as applied to carbohydrates, fragmentation of carbohydrates, studies of specific carbohydrate types such as those from plant cell walls and those attached to proteins and lipids, studies of glycosyl-transferases and glycosidases, and studies where MALDI has been used to monitor products of chemical synthesis. Use of the technique shows a steady annual increase at the expense of older techniques such as FAB. There is an increasing emphasis on its use for examination of biological systems rather than on studies of fundamental aspects and method development and this is reflected by much of the work on applications appearing in tabular form.

Abstract
CD22 (Siglec-2) is a key regulator of B cell signaling whose function is modulated by interaction with extracellular glycan ligands mediated through its N-terminal Ig domain. Its preferred ligand is the sequence Sia alpha2-6Gal that is abundantly expressed on N-linked glycans of B cell glycoproteins, and by binding to CD22 in cis causes CD22 to appear "masked" from binding to synthetic sialoside probes. Yet, despite the presence of cis ligands, CD22 redistributes to sites of cell contact by binding to trans ligands on neighboring cells. In this study, we demonstrate the dynamic equilibrium that exists between CD22 and its cis and trans ligands, using a high-affinity multivalent sialoside probe that competes with cis ligands and binds to CD22 on native human and murine B cells. Consistent with the constitutive endocytosis reported for CD22, the probes are internalized once bound, demonstrating that CD22 is an endocytic receptor that can carry ligand-decorated "cargo" to intracellular compartments. Conjugation of the sialoside probes to the toxin saporin resulted in toxin uptake and toxin-mediated killing of B lymphoma cell lines, suggesting an alternative approach for targeting CD22 for treatment of B cell lymphomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The application of serotype 5 adenoviruses (Ad5) in macrophages is hampered by the absence of the endogenous coxsackie adenovirus receptor (CAR). METHODS To overcome this limitation, we first generated a linker protein consisting of the virus-binding domain of CAR and the C-terminus of avidin. Second, to target macrophages, this linker protein was equipped with the biotinylated (bio) oligonucleotide dA6G10, which was previously shown to display a high affinity for the scavenger receptor A (SR-A). RESULTS As compared to nontargeted virus, the linker protein equipped with bio-dA6G10 showed a 500-fold increased reporter gene expression in mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells. A linker protein equipped with a bio-dA16 control oligonucleotide was inactive. Moreover, the bio-dA6G10-equipped linker showed a 390-fold increased luciferase expression in the macrophage cell line J774 and 276- and 150-fold increased reporter gene expression in primary peritoneal and bone marrow (BM)-derived macrophages, respectively. Using BM-derived macrophages from SR-A knockout mice, it was shown that the dA6G10-mediated uptake is predominantly SR-A-mediated. CONCLUSIONS Thus, we have developed a novel tool to link biotinylated ligands to a virus-binding fragment of CAR and have exploited this linker protein to extend the applicability of Ad5 to infect transformed and primary macrophages.

Abstract
Animal glycan-recognizing proteins can be broadly classified into two groups-lectins (which typically contain an evolutionarily conserved carbohydrate-recognition domain [CRD]) and sulfated glycosaminoglycan (SGAG)-binding proteins (which appear to have evolved by convergent evolution). Proteins other than antibodies and T-cell receptors that mediate glycan recognition via immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains are called "I-type lectins." The major homologous subfamily of I-type lectins with sialic acid (Sia)-binding properties and characteristic amino-terminal structural features are called the "Siglecs" (Sia-recognizing Ig-superfamily lectins). The Siglecs can be divided into two groups: an evolutionarily conserved subgroup (Siglecs-1, -2, and -4) and a CD33/Siglec-3-related subgroup (Siglecs-3 and -5-13 in primates), which appear to be rapidly evolving. This article provides an overview of historical and current information about the Siglecs.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated to what extent the stability and transduction capacity of polyplexed DNA can be improved by optimizing the condensing peptide sequence. We have synthesized a small library of cationic peptides, at which the lysine/arginine ratio and the cation charge were varied. All peptides were able to compact DNA, at which polyplexes of short lysine-rich sequences were considerably larger than those of elongated or arginine-rich peptides (GM102 and GM202). In addition, the arginine-rich peptides GM102 and GM202 rendered the polyplexes resistant to plasma incubation or DNase I-mediated digestion. While all peptides were found to improve the transfection efficiency in HepG2 cells, only the GM102- and GM202-derived polyplexes could be specifically targeted to HepG2 cells by incorporation of a ligand-derivatized YKAK(8)WK peptide. We propose that GM102 and GM202 combine the advantage of small condensing peptides to give small-sized polyplexes with the superior stability of condensing polymers, which makes GM102 and GM202 excellent candidates for future in vivo gene therapy studies.

Abstract
Multivalent interactions have been implicated in the binding of B-cell surface glycoprotein CD22 to its physiological ligands. Because CD22 can influence B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling, multivalent ligands that cluster CD22 may influence B-cell responses. Here, we report an efficient synthesis of a fluorophore-labeled multivalent display of a CD22-binding trisaccharide, Neu5Acalpha2,6Galbeta1,4Glc, using the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Our synthetic strategy involves the modification of an N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester-substituted polymer generated by ROMP with the aminopropyl glycoside of the trisaccharide. The conjugation efficiency for the coupling is high; when 0.3 equiv of the trisaccharide derivative were used relative to NHS ester groups, the mole fraction (chi) of trisaccharide ligand incorporated onto the backbone was 0.3. A fluorescein-labeled version of the multivalent ligand binds to cells expressing CD22.

Abstract
The interaction of CD22 with glycoprotein ligands bearing the Siaalpha2,6Gal-R sequence is believed to modulate its function as a regulator of B cell signaling. Although a commercial sialoside-polyacrylamide (PAA) probe, NeuAc- alpha2,6Gal-PAA, has facilitated studies on ligand binding by human CD22, murine CD22 binds instead with high affinity to NeuGcalpha2,6Gal-R. A multivalent probe with this sequence was constructed to facilitate investigations of ligand binding in CD22 function using genetically defined murine models. The probe is based on the sialoside-PAA platform, which is then biotinylated for easy detection. A series of sialoside probes were constructed with two different length linker arms between the sialoside and the backbone and three different sialoside to PAA molar ratios. The NeuGcalpha2,6Gal-PAA probe is specific for CD22: it binds to sialidase-treated B cells of wild-type mice but not B cells of CD22-null mice. Additionally, because the probe only binds to sialidase-treated wild-type cells, it confirms that CD22 is constitutively "masked" on most B cells from wild-type mice by binding to ligands in cis. In contrast, the probe bound equally well to native or sialidase-treated B cells from the immunocompromised ligand-deficient ST6Gal I knockout mice, demonstrating that CD22 is constitutively "unmasked" in these cells.

Abstract
B-cell-specific CD22 is a member of a group of cell adhesion molecules within the immunoglobulin superfamily that display binding to glycans with terminal sialic acid residues. Binding of endogenous ligands to CD22 triggers B-cell activation and proliferation. It is therefore conceivable that high affinity ligands for CD22 may be of value as inhibitors of B-cell activation in allergy and chronic inflammation. In this study, we aimed to delineate the structural requirements for ligand binding to CD22. A library of 20 mono-, di-, and trisaccharide analogs of the basic binding motif Neu5Ac(alpha2,6)Lac was synthesized and screened for affinity for CD22beta. In general, CD22 ligand recognition appeared to be rather tolerant with respect to structural modifications of the anomeric sugar on a mono-, di-, and trisaccharide level, although affinity was increased by the presence of a nitro aromatic group at C-2. The most potent monovalent ligand, Neu5Ac-4-nitrobenzoyl-Glc, was selected to generate multivalent ligands based on either a glutamate or Tris cluster core. All multivalent ligands displayed at least a 10-fold increased affinity for CD22 compared with the corresponding monovalent glycoside. Interestingly, a maximal gain in affinity was already obtained for bivalent ligands, regardless of the terminal glycoside. A trivalent Tris-based cluster of Neu5Ac-4-nitrobenzoyl-Glc displayed a 300-fold higher affinity compared with the basic binding motif, which makes it, to our knowledge, the most potent antagonist for CD22 yet synthesized. As our in vitro fluorescence-activated cell sorting studies demonstrated efficient cellular uptake of a CD22 substrate, the most potent ligand in this study may hold promise as a homing device for immunomodulatory compounds and cytostatics.
