Abstract
N-Glycosylation, a main post-translational modification of Immunoglobulin G (IgG), plays a significant role in modulating the immune functions of IgG. However, the precise function elucidation of IgG N-glycosylation remains impeded due to the obstacles in obtaining comprehensive and well-defined N-glycans. Here, an easy-to-implement divergent approach is described to synthesize a 64-membered IgG N-glycan library covering all possible biantennary and bisected N-glycans by reprogramming biosynthetic assembly lines based on the inherent branch selectivity and substrate specificity of enzymes. The unique binding specificities of 64 N-glycans with different proteins are deciphered by glycan microarray technology. This unprecedented collection of synthetic IgG N-glycans can serve as standards for N-glycan structure identification in complex biological samples and the microarray data enrich N-glycan glycomics to facilitate biomedical applications.

Abstract
In this study, an approach to prepare long-acting glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) by site-directed enzymatic glycosylation with homogeneous biantennary complex-type N-glycan has been developed. All the N-glycan-modified GLP-1 analogues preserved an unchanged secondary structure. The glycosylated GLP-1 analogues with sialyl complex-type N-glycan modified at Asn26 and Asn34 exhibited a 36.7- and 24.0-fold in vitro half-life respectively when incubated with dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV), and 25.0- and 13.9-fold respectively when incubated with mouse serum. Compared to native GLP-1, both glycosylated GLP-1 analogues modified at Asn34 by asialyl and sialyl N-glycan demonstrated lower maximum blood glucose levels, as well as more rapid and more persistent glucose-stabilizing capability in type 2 diabetic db/db mice. Our results indicated that the selection of an appropriate position (to avoid hindering the peptide-receptor binding) is crucial for N-glycan modification and its sialylation to improve the therapeutic properties of the modified peptides. The information learned would facilitate future design of therapeutic glycopeptides/glycoproteins with N-glycan to achieve enhanced pharmacological properties.

Abstract
Sialylglycopeptide (SGP) is a readily available naturally occurring glycopeptide obtained from hen egg yolk which is now commercially available. During SGP extraction, other minor glycopeptide species are identified, bearing N-glycan structures that might be of interest, such as asymmetrically branched and triantennary glycans. As the scale of SGP production increases, recovery of minor glycopeptides and their N-glycans can become more feasible. In this paper, we aim to provide structural characterization of the N-glycans derived from these minor glycopeptides.

Abstract
Proteins/peptides and saccharides are two kinds of bioactive substances in nature. Recently, increasing attention has been paid in understanding and utilizing covalent interactions between proteins/peptides and saccharides. The products obtained through covalent conjugation of proteins/peptides to saccharides are shown to have enhanced functional attributes, such as better gelling property, thermostability, and water-holding capacity. Additionally, food-derived protein/peptide-saccharide covalent conjugates (PSCCs) also have biological activities, such as antibacterial, antidiabetic, anti-osteoporosis, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, immune regulatory, and other activities that are widely used in the functional food industry. Moreover, PSCCs can be used as packaging or delivery materials to improve the bioavailability of bioactive substances, which expands the development of food-derived protein and saccharide resources. Thus, this review was aimed to first summarize the current status of sources, classification structures of natural PSCCs. Second, the methods of chemical synthesis, reaction conditions, characterization and reagent formulations that improve the desired functional characteristics of food-derived PSCCs were introduced. Third, functional properties such as emulsion, edible films/coatings, and delivery of active substance, bio-activities such as antioxidant, anti-osteoporosis, antidiabetic, antimicrobial of food-derived PSCCs were extensively discussed.

Transcriptome Analysis of Egg Yolk Sialoglycoprotein on Osteogenic Activity in MC3T3-E1 Cells. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2021.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of egg yolk sialoglycoprotein (EYG) on osteogenesis in MC3T3-E1 cells were investigated and the DEGs (differentially expressed genes) were explored by transcriptome analysis. The results found that EYG effectively increased cell proliferation, enhanced ALP activity, promoted the secretion of extracellular matrix protein COL-I and OCN, enhanced bone mineralization activity, exhibiting good osteogenic activity. Further study of the mechanism was explored through transcriptome analysis. Transcriptome analysis showed that 123 DEGs were triggered by EYG, of which 78 genes were downregulated and 45 genes were upregulated. GO (gene ontology) analysis showed that EYG mainly caused differences in gene expression of biological processes and cell composition categories in the top 30 most enriched items. KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) analysis showed that EYG inhibited inflammatory factors and downregulated inflammation-related pathways. The results also showed EYG regulated such genes as COL2A1, COL4A1 and COL4A2 to up-regulate pathways including ECM–receptor interaction, focal adhesion and protein digestion and absorption, enhancing the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. Gene expression of COL-I, Runx2, BMP2 and β-catenin was determined by qRT-PCR for verification, which found that EYG significantly increased COL-I, Runx2, BMP2 and β-catenin gene expression, suggesting that BMP-2 mediated osteogenesis pathway was activated.

Abstract
A species barrier for the influenza A virus is the differential expression of sialic acid, which can either be α2,3-linked for avians or α2,6-linked for human viruses. The influenza A virus hosts also express other species-specific sialic acid derivatives. One major modification at C-5 is N-glycolyl (NeuGc), instead of N-acetyl (NeuAc). N-glycolyl is mammalian specific and expressed in pigs and horses, but not in humans, ferrets, seals, or dogs. Hemagglutinin (HA) adaptation to either N-acetyl or N-glycolyl is analyzed on a sialoside microarray containing both α2,3- and α2,6-linkage modifications on biologically relevant N-glycans. Binding studies reveal that avian, human, and equine HAs bind either N-glycolyl or N-acetyl. Structural data on N-glycolyl binding HA proteins of both H5 and H7 origin describe this specificity. Neuraminidases can cleave N-glycolyl efficiently, and tissue-binding studies reveal strict species specificity. The exclusive manner in which influenza A viruses differentiate between N-glycolyl and N-acetyl is indicative of selection. Broszeit and colleagues demonstrate that influenza A viruses recognize either N-acetyl or N-glycolyl neuraminic acid, and they explain these specificities using X-ray structures. NeuGc-binding viruses are perfectly viable, and neuraminidases can cleave NeuGc-containing receptor structures. There is an apparent selection now for NeuAc, as no known NeuGc-binding virus currently circulates.

Abstract
Chicken egg yolk is an easily available source for the isolation of sialylglycopeptides (SGP) carrying homogenous biantennary N-glycans. This approach has gained much attention in the last decade since these SGPs can easily be used for the semi-synthesis of glycoconjugates circumventing laborious full-synthetic methodologies. Here we report an optimised, significantly shorter (one day instead of five) and environmentally friendly procedure for the mg scale isolation of SGP using commercially available egg yolk powder. A single chromatographic step following chloroform/methanol precipitation of proteins and lipids yielded desired approximately 200 mg SGP from 250 g egg yolk powder within a day. Environmentally friendly procedure for isolation of sialylglycopeptide from Egg yolk powder. Reduced the protocol from five days down to one.

Abstract
The glycan ligands recognized by Siglecs, influenza viruses, and galectins, as well as many plant lectins, are not well defined. To explore their binding to asparagine (Asn)-linked N-glycans, we synthesized a library of isomeric multiantennary N-glycans that vary in terminal non-reducing sialic acid, galactose, and N-acetylglucosamine residues, as well as core fucose. We identified specific recognition of N-glycans by several plant lectins, human galectins, influenza viruses, and Siglecs, and explored the influence of sialic acid linkages and branching of the N-glycans. These results show the unique recognition of complex-type N-glycans by a wide variety of glycan-binding proteins and their abilities to distinguish isomeric structures, which provides new insights into the biological roles of these proteins and the uses of lectins in biological applications to identify glycans.

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
Sialylglycopeptide (SGP) is a complex bi-antennary N-glycan bearing a short peptide fragment that can be isolated from the yolk of hen eggs. This natural product has gained popularity as a starting material for the semi-synthesis of N-glycans. We have found that current isolation methods provide a glycopeptide contaminated with several related structures, one being a glycopeptide having a hexose directly attached to peptide backbone, most like through the hydroxyl containing side chain of the threonine moiety. Furthermore, current methods employ fresh egg yolks that need to be lyophilized and involve several tedious purification steps. Herein, we report a convenient method for the isolation of gram quantities of homogeneous SGP from commercially available egg yolk powder using solid/liquid extraction and HILIC-HPLC purification.

Abstract
Glycans play diverse roles in a wide range of biological processes. Research on glycan-binding events is essential for learning their biological and pathological functions. However, the functions of terminal and internal glycan epitopes exhibited during binding with glycan-binding proteins (GBPs) and/or viruses need to be further identified. Therefore, a focused library of 36 biantennary asparagine (Asn)-linked glycans with some presenting tandem glycan epitopes was synthesized via a combined Core Isolation/Enzymatic Extension (CIEE) and one-pot multienzyme (OPME) synthetic strategy. These N-glycans include those containing a terminal sialyl N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc), sialyl Lewis x (sLex) and Siaα2-8-Siaα2-3/6-R structures with N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) or N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) sialic acid form, LacNAc, Lewis x (Lex), α-Gal, and Galα1-3-Lex; and tandem epitopes including α-Gal, Lex, Galα1-3-Lex, LacNAc, and sialyl LacNAc, presented with an internal sialyl LacNAc or 1-2 repeats of an internal LacNAc or Lex component. They were synthesized in milligram-scale, purified to over 98% purity, and used to prepare a glycan microarray. Binding studies using selected plant lectins, antibodies, and viruses demonstrated, for the first time, that when interpreting the binding between glycans and GBPs/viruses, not only the structure of the terminal glycan epitopes, but also the internal epitopes and/or modifications of terminal epitopes needs to be taken into account.

Abstract
An efficient N-linked glycosylation reaction between glycosylamines and p-nitrophenyl thioester peptides has been developed. The reaction conditions are mild and compatible with the C-terminal free carboxylic acid group and the unprotected N-linked sialyloligosaccharide. By means of this convergent strategy, a versatile N-glycopeptide fragment containing an N-terminal Thz and a C-terminal thioester was readily prepared, which is available for the synthesis of long glycopeptides and glycoproteins using the protocol of native chemical ligation.

Abstract
Blood dendritic cell antigen 2 (BDCA-2; also designated CLEC4C or CD303) is uniquely expressed on plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Stimulation of BDCA-2 with antibodies leads to an anti-inflammatory response in these cells, but the natural ligands for the receptor are not known. The C-type carbohydrate recognition domain in the extracellular portion of BDCA-2 contains a signature motif typical of C-type animal lectins that bind mannose, glucose, or GlcNAc, yet it has been reported that BDCA-2 binds selectively to galactose-terminated, biantennary N-linked glycans. A combination of glycan array analysis and binding competition studies with monosaccharides and natural and synthetic oligosaccharides have been used to define the binding epitope for BDCA-2 as the trisaccharide Galβ1-3/4GlcNAcβ1-2Man. X-ray crystallography and mutagenesis studies show that mannose is ligated to the conserved Ca(2+) in the primary binding site that is characteristic of C-type carbohydrate recognition domains, and the GlcNAc and galactose residues make additional interactions in a wide, shallow groove adjacent to the primary binding site. As predicted from these studies, BDCA-2 binds to IgG, which bears galactose-terminated glycans that are not commonly found attached to other serum glycoproteins. Thus, BDCA-2 has the potential to serve as a previously unrecognized immunoglobulin Fc receptor.
