Abstract
Covering: 1987 to 2023Naturally existing glycoproteins through post-translational protein glycosylation are highly heterogeneous, which not only impedes the structure-function studies, but also hinders the development of their potential medical usage. Chemical synthesis represents one of the most powerful tools to provide the structurally well-defined glycoforms. Being the key step of glycoprotein synthesis, glycosylation usually takes place at serine, threonine, and asparagine residues, leading to the predominant formation of the O- and N-glycans, respectively. However, other amino acid residues containing oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and nucleophilic carbon atoms have also been found to be glycosylated. These diverse glycoprotein linkages, occurring from microorganisms to plants and animals, play also pivotal biological roles, such as in cell-cell recognition and communication. The availability of these homogenous rare glycopeptides and glycoproteins can help decipher the glyco-code for developing therapeutic agents. This review highlights the chemical approaches for assembly of the functional glycopeptides and glycoproteins bearing these "rare" carbohydrate-amino acid linkages between saccharide and canonical amino acid residues and their derivatives.

Protein cysteine S-glycosylation: oxidative hydrolysis of protein S-glycosidic bonds in aqueous alkaline environments. Amino Acids 2023; 55:61-74.

Abstract
Some glycoproteins contain carbohydrates S-linked to cysteine (Cys) residues. However, relatively few S-glycosylated proteins have been detected, due to the lack of an effective research methodology. This work outlines a general concept for the detection of S-glycosylation sites in proteins. The approach was verified by exploratory experiments on a model mixture of β-S-glucosylated polypeptides obtained by the chemical transformation of lysozyme P00698. The model underwent two processes: (1) oxidative hydrolysis of S-glycosidic bonds under alkaline conditions to expose the thiol group of Cys residues; (2) thiol S-alkylation leading to thiol S-adduct formation at the former S-glycosylation sites. Oxidative hydrolysis was conducted in aqueous urea, dimethyl sulfoxide, or trifluoroethanol, with silver nitrate as the reaction promoter, in the presence of triethylamine and/or pyridine. The concurrent formation of stable protein silver thiolates, gluconic acid, and silver nanoclusters was observed. The essential de-metalation of protein silver thiolates using dithiothreitol preceded the S-labeling of Cys residues with 4-vinyl pyridine or a fluorescent reagent. The S-labeled model was sequenced by tandem mass spectrometry to obtain data on the modifications and their distribution over the protein chains. This enabled the efficiency of both S-glycosidic bonds hydrolysis and S-glycosylation site labeling to be evaluated. Suggestions are also given for testing this novel strategy on real proteomic samples.

Abstract
The S-glycosyltransferase SunS is a recently discovered enzyme that selectively catalyzes the conjugation of carbohydrates to the cysteine thiol of proteins. This study reports the discovery of a second S-glycosyltransferase, ThuS, and shows that ThuS catalyzes both S-glycosylation of the thiol of cysteine and O-glycosylation of the hydroxyl group of serine in peptide substrates. ThuS-catalyzed S-glycosylation is more efficient than O-glycosylation, and the enzyme demonstrates high tolerance with respect to both nucleotide sugars and peptide substrates. The biosynthesis of the putative products of the thuS gene cluster was reconstituted in vitro, and the resulting S-glycosylated peptides thurandacin A and B exhibit highly selective antimicrobial activity toward Bacillus thuringiensis.

Abstract
![]()
SunS is a novel S-glycosyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of the antimicrobial peptide sublancin. It selectively modifies Cys22 in a 56 amino acid peptide substrate SunA and can accept a variety of NDP sugars. This study reports the substrate selectivity with regard to the peptide substrate and the antimicrobial activity of the resulting sublancin analogues. The results suggest that SunS recognizes an α-helix N-terminal of the Cys to be glycosylated, which is present in a flexible linker. Interestingly, when Cys22 is mutated, sugar attachment is not required for sublancin antimicrobial activity. Furthermore, the sublancin-producing strain Bacillus subtilis 168 also becomes susceptible to such mutants. These data suggest that S-glycosylation may be important for self-resistance.

Abstract
Covalent modification can expand a protein's functional capacity. Fluorescent or radioactive labeling, for instance, allows imaging of a protein in real time. Labeling with an affinity probe enables isolation of target proteins and other interacting molecules. At the other end of this functional spectrum, protein structures can be naturally altered by enzymatic action. Protein-protein interactions, genetic regulation, and a range of cellular processes are under the purview of these post-translational modifications. The ability of protein chemists to install these covalent additions selectively has been critical for elucidating their roles in biology. Frequently the transformations must be applied in a site-specific manner, which demands the most selective chemistry. In this Account, we discuss the development and application of such chemistry in our laboratory. A centerpiece of our strategy is a "tag-and-modify" approach, which entails sequential installation of a uniquely reactive chemical group into the protein (the "tag") and the selective or specific modification of this group. The chemical tag can be a natural or unnatural amino acid residue. Of the natural residues, cysteine is the most widely used as a tag. Early work in our program focused on selective disulfide formation in the synthesis of glycoproteins. For certain applications, the susceptibility of disulfides to reduction was a limitation and prompted the development of several methods for the synthesis of more stable thioether modifications. The desulfurization of disulfides and conjugate addition to dehydroalanine are two routes to these modifications. The dehydroalanine tag has since proven useful as a general precursor to many modifications after conjugate addition of various nucleophiles; phosphorylated, glycosylated, peptidylated, prenylated, and even mimics of methylated and acetylated lysine-containing proteins are all accessible from dehydroalanine. While cysteine is a useful tag for selective modification, unnatural residues present the opportunity for bio-orthogonal chemistry. Azide-, arylhalide-, alkyne-, and alkene-containing amino acids can be incorporated into proteins genetically and can be specifically modified through various transformations. These transformations often rely on metal catalysis. The Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne addition, Ru-catalyzed olefin metathesis, and Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling are examples of such transformations. In the course of adapting these reactions to protein modification, we learned much about the behavior of these reactions in water, and in some cases entirely new catalysts were developed. Through a combination of these bio-orthogonal transformations from the panel of tag-and-modify reactions, multiple and distinct modifications can be installed on protein surfaces. Multiple modifications are common in natural systems, and synthetic access to these proteins has enabled study of their biological role. Throughout these investigations, much has been learned in chemistry and biology. The demands of selective protein modification have revealed many aspects of reaction mechanisms, which in turn have guided the design of reagents and catalysts that allow their successful deployment in water and in biological milieu. With this ability to modify proteins, it is now possible to interrogate biological systems with precision that was not previously possible.

Abstract
O-Glycosylation is a ubiquitous eukaryotic post-translational modification, whereas early reports of S-linked glycopeptides have never been verified. Prokaryotes also glycosylate proteins, but there are no confirmed examples of sidechain glycosylation in ribosomal antimicrobial polypeptides collectively known as bacteriocins. Here we show that glycocin F, a bacteriocin secreted by Lactobacillus plantarum KW30, is modified by an N-acetylglucosamine β-O-linked to Ser18, and an N-acetylhexosamine S-linked to C-terminal Cys43. The O-linked N-acetylglucosamine is essential for bacteriostatic activity, and the C-terminus is required for full potency (IC(50) 2 nM). Genomic context analysis identified diverse putative glycopeptide bacteriocins in Firmicutes. One of these, the reputed lantibiotic sublancin, was shown to contain a hexose S-linked to Cys22.

Abstract
Investigation of direct S-glycosylation of homocysteine and cysteine containing peptides with O-acetyl protected glycosyl halides led under two-phase conditions in the presence of sodium carbonate as base to excellent results. Thus, from glucosyl bromide, galactosyl bromide, lactosyl bromide, sialyl chloride, and N-Troc protected 2-amino-2-deoxyglucosyl bromide S-glycosylated dipeptides 15, 18-21, 23, 24, and 26-29, respectively, were obtained in excellent yields. Alternatively, depending on the solubility of the peptide moiety, mixtures of DMF and water could be employed for successfully carrying out this reaction. Thus, S-glycosylated tripeptides 42-45 could be obtained. Combination of this method with chemical ligation was also successfully carried out.

Abstract
3,4,6-Tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-hydroxyimino-beta and -alpha-D-lyxo-hexopyranosides of thiophenol (3, 4) and the methyl ester of N-benzoyl-L-cysteine have been synthesised by condensation of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-nitroso-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl chloride with thiophenol and the L-cysteine derivative, respectively. The conformation of the sugar residue and configuration of the anomeric centre as well as of the hydroxyimino group were established on the basis of the 1H NMR (DQF-COSY, ROESY, TOCSY) spectrometric techniques and polarimetric data. Additionally, the structure of S-[3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-(Z)-hydroxyimino-beta-D-lyxo -hexopyranosyl]-thiophenol (3) was supported by X-ray diffraction data.

Abstract
The S- and C-glycosylated nonapeptides 1 and 2 were synthesized as analogs of the non-glycosylated LH-RH agonist buserelin (pGlu-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-D-Ser(tBu)-Leu-Arg-Pro-NHEt) by segment condensation in solution. 1 and 2 differ from this peptide in the amino acid in position 6. In the first case (1), D-serine (tBu) is substituted by D-cysteine carrying a rhamnosyl residue, in the second case (2) D-alanine carrying a galactosyl moiety bound as C-glycoside is incorporated. The bioactivity of both glycopeptides as fertility drugs was determined from the dose dependent LH release in male rats. Additionally, in female rats the ovulation rate was assessed. As a result the analog 1 exhibits a similar biological activity as buserelin while analog 2 shows about 25% of this potency. Compared to buserelin the solubility of the analogs 1 and 2 in aqueous buffer is improved by more than two orders of magnitude due to the carbohydrate moieties.

Abstract
Using a polyclonal mouse antiserum produced against purified virions of the multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus of Orgyia pseudotsugata (OpMNPV), two immunoreactive lambda gtII clones were identified which contained nonoverlapping insert DNAs which mapped to a single open reading frame (ORF) in the HindIII-M fragment. Analysis of nucleotide sequence data indicates that this ORF encodes a protein with a MW of 32.4 kDa. A trpE-p32 gene fusion containing the entire p32 ORF was constructed, and the fusion protein was purified and used to immunize rabbits. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence studies using the anti-TrpE-p32 antiserum detected a polyhedra-derived virus (PDV)-associated protein of 32 kDa at 24 hr postinfection (hr p.i.). The protein was observed in the cytoplasm and nucleus at 24 hr p.i. and became concentrated in the cytoplasm late in infection. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescent microscopy of polyhedra solubilized under various conditions indicated that p32 is associated with the polyhedral envelope. The predicted amino acid sequence for p32 showed 58% amino acid identity with the predicted amino acid sequence for an ORF (ORF 3) in a similar region of the genome of the MNPV of Autographa californica (AcMNPV). The solubility properties of the p32 protein and reciprocal immunoblotting experiments indicate the OpMNPV p32 gene encodes a protein which is homologous to the polyhedral envelope-associated phosphoprotein of AcMNPV, pp34, recently reported by M.A. Whitt and J.S. Manning [(1988) Virology 163, 33-42].

Abstract
Surrounding baculovirus occlusion bodies is an electron-dense layer reported to be composed of carbohydrate which we term calyx. Incubation of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus occlusion bodies (AcMNPV OBs) with dilute alkaline saline (DAS) followed by centrifugation at 12,000 g resulted in the sedimentation of calyx material which contained pp34, residual polyhedrin (p32), and entrapped occluded virions (DAS P-12 fraction). Incubation of the DAS P-12 fraction with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) resulted in solubilization of the entrapped virions and the majority of p32, while calyx material, pp34, and some p32 remained sedimentable at 12,000 g. Immunofluorescence microscopy of DAS-solubilized OBs using monoclonal antibody to pp34 and p32 revealed that both pp34 and p32 are closely associated with the calyx. When DAS P-12 fractions were resuspended in SDS and reducing agent, not only were the entrapped virions solubilized, but pp34 and the remaining p32 were also liberated, indicating that pp34 and a subpopulation of p32 are associated with the calyx via thiol linkages. Immunoblot analysis and peptide mapping demonstrated that pp34 is neither immunologically nor structurally related to p32. The kinetics of pp34 synthesis were also examined by immunoprecipitation of infected cell polypeptides using pp34-specific monoclonal antibody. pp34 was detected initially 15 hr postinfection (p.i.) and continued to be phosphorylated until 60-70 hr p.i. This study demonstrates that the AcMNPV calyx has a proteinaceous component and we propose that other occluded baculoviruses may also have a calyx-associated protein analogous to pp34.

Abstract
It is clear that excystations in vitro of the coccidia so far examined involves two steps, in the first of which CO2 is important, and the second, in which an external source of chymotrypsin and surface-active agents are required. However, the details of the mechanism of excystment are not clear. We do not know how the presence of CO2 changes the permeability of the oocyst wall. We do not know whether CO2 does anything to the sporozoite or sporocyst; the circumstance that mechanically-released sporocysts readily excyst under appropriate conditions without the necessity for high concentrations of, or perhaps any, CO2 suggests it does not. Circumstantial evidence suggests that the substrate in which chymotrypsin acts is the Stieda body, but whether the enzyme has other roles we do not know. Similarly, the role of bile is ill-defined, although it does seem that the induction of activity is important--but how is this brought about? The techniques available to excyst oocysts are, for many species, very efficient. If CO2 is, as it seems to be, a fundamental stimulus, then efficiency might be enhanced if more attention was given, not so much to increasing the time of exposure and amount of CO2 in the gas phase, but rather to the pH of the medium, which is rarely stated or apparently, controlled. The pH determines the proportion of the different carbonate species in solution, which may be of greater significance than the partial pressure of CO2 in the gas phase (see also Section V A). Although high numbers of excysted sporocysts can be obtained with a particular technique, this does not necessarily mean that all the signals supplied by the host are reproduced in vitro. Jackson (1962) found it necessary to wash oocysts in water or dilute buffers between the primary phase and the secondary phase, a step which implies a deficiency in the methods he used. Commonly, oocysts are exposed to a strong solution of L-cysteine. Does this reflect a general deficiency in the technique, or a counterpart of strongly reducing conditions in ruminant and non-ruminant alike? It seems that we have only a very general outline of excystment, and that we do not understand the details. Yet the problem seems to have been put aside; the most recent relevant reference we have found is dated 1983.

Abstract
The contents of fucose, mannose, galactose, glucose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose and -D-galactose, and sialic acid, when the results were expressed as nmol per mg of membrane dry-weights, were found to be significantly lower in the membranes of old erythrocytes than in the membranes of young ones. No significant difference was found between young and old membranes when the compositions were expressed as residues per one hundred carbohydrate residues, suggesting that a homogeneous decrease of the carbohydrate moieties may occur during aging in vivo.

Abstract
The complete primary structure of allergen M of cod (Gadus callarias L.) is presented. The amino acid sequence of fragment TM1, the NH2-terminal peptide of allergen M, was elucidated by the dansyl-Edman method. It consists of 75 amino acids and 1 glucose residue (mol. wt. 8,492). By summation of the sequence data of fragment TM1 and the previously reported fragment TM2, the intact allergen M has 113 residues (mol. wt. 12,328). Fragment TM1 of cod shows less homology (30.6 percent) with the corresponding fragments of other reported fish species than does fragment TM2 (42.1 percent); the intact allergen M shows 34.5 percent homology. The single half cystine of allergen M was shown to be blocked. Gas chromatographic analysis of the reduced and nonreduced allergen M suggested that the glucose is bound to Cys 18 through an S-glucosidic bond.
