Abstract
Plant lectins through their multivalent quaternary structures bind intrinsically flexible oligosaccharides. They recognize fine structural differences in carbohydrates and interact with different sequences in mucin core 2 or complex-type N-glycan chain and also in healthy and malignant tissues. They are used in characterizing cellular and extracellular glycoconjugates modified in pathological processes. We study here, the complex carbohydrate-lectin interactions by determining the effects of substituents in mucin core 2 tetrasaccharide Galβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-6(Galβ1-3)GalNAcα-O-R and fetuin glycopeptides on their binding to agarose-immobilized lectins PNA, RCA-I, SNA-I and WGA. Briefly, in mucin core 2 tetrasaccharide (i) structures modified by α2-3/6-Sialyl LacNAc, LewisX and α1-3-Galactosyl LacNAc resulted in regular binding to PNA whereas compounds with 6-sulfo LacNAc displayed no-binding; (ii) strucures bearing α2-6-sialyl 6-sulfo LacNAc, or 6-sialyl LacdiNAc carbohydrates displayed strong binding to SNA-I; (iii) structures with α2-3/6-sialyl, α1-3Gal LacNAc or LewisX were non-binder to RCA-I and compounds with 6-sulfo LacNAc only displayed weak binding; (iv) structures containing LewisX, 6-Sulfo LewisX, α2-3/6-sialyl LacNAc, α2-3/6-sialyl 6-sulfo LacNAc and GalNAc Lewis-a were non-binding to WGA, those with α1-2Fucosyl, α1-3-Galactosyl LacNAc, α2-3-sialyl T-hapten plus 3'/6'sulfo LacNAc displayed weak binding, and compounds with α2-3-sialyl T-hapten, α2.6-Sialyl LacdiNAc, α2-3-sialyl D-Fucβ1-3 GalNAc and Fucα-1-2 D-Fucβ-1-3GalNAc displaying regular binding and GalNAc LewisX and LacdiNAc plus D-Fuc β-1-3 GalNAcα resulting in tight binding. RCA-I binds Fetuin triantennary asialoglycopeptide 100 % after α-2-3 and 25 % after α-2-6 sialylation, 30 % after α-1-2 and 100 % after α-1-3 fucosylation, and 50 % after α-1-3 galactosylation. WGA binds 3-but not 6-Fucosyl chitobiose core. Thus, information on the influence of complex carbohydrate chain constituents on lectin binding is apparently essential for the potential application of lectins in glycoconjugate research.

Abstract
Sulfated glycoconjugates regulate biological processes such as cell adhesion and cancer metastasis. We examined the acceptor specificities and kinetic properties of three cloned Gal:3-O-sulfotransferases (Gal3STs) ST-2, ST-3, and ST-4 along with a purified Gal3ST from colon carcinoma LS180 cells. Gal3ST-2 was the dominant Gal3ST in LS180. While the mucin core-2 structure Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,6(3-O-MeGalbeta1,3)GalNAcalpha-O-Bn (where Bn is benzyl) and the disaccharide Galbeta1,4GlcNAc served as high affinity acceptors for Gal3ST-2 and Gal3ST-3, 3-O-MeGalbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,-6(Galbeta1,3)GalNAcalpha-O-Bn and Galbeta1,3GalNAcalpha-O-Al (where Al is allyl) were efficient acceptors for Gal3ST-4. The activities of Gal3ST-2 and Gal3ST-3 could be distinguished with the Globo H precursor (Galbeta1,3GalNAcbeta1,3Galalpha-O-Me) and fetuin triantennary asialoglycopeptide. Gal3ST-2 acted efficiently on the former, while Gal3ST-3 showed preference for the latter. Gal3ST-4 also acted on the Globo H precursor but not the glycopeptide. In support of the specificity, Gal3ST-2 activity toward the Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta unit on mucin core-2 as well as the Globo H precursor could be inhibited competitively by Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,6(3-O-sulfoGalbeta1,3)GalNAcalpha-O-Bn but not 3-O-sulfoGalbeta1,-4GlcNAcbeta1,6(Galbeta1,3)GalNAcalpha-O-Bn. Remarkably these sulfotransferases were uniquely specific for sulfated substrates: Gal3ST-3 utilized Galbeta1,4(6-O-sulfo)-GlcNAcbeta-O-Al as acceptor, Gal3ST-2 acted efficiently on Galbeta1,3(6-O-sulfo)GlcNAcbeta-O-Al, and Gal3ST-4 acted efficiently on Galbeta1,3(6-O-sulfo)GalNAcalpha-O-Al. Mg(2+), Mn(2+), and Ca(2+) stimulated the activities of Gal3ST-2, whereas only Mg(2+) augmented Gal3ST-3 activity. Divalent cations did not stimulate Gal3ST-4, although inhibition was noted at high Mn(2+) concentrations. The fine substrate specificities of Gal3STs indicate a distinct physiological role for each enzyme.

Abstract
Human colon carcinoma cell fucosyltransferase (FT) in contrast to the FTs of several human cancer cell lines, utilized GlcNAcbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta-O-Bn as an acceptor, the product being resistant to alpha1,6-L-Fucosidase and its formation being completely inhibited by LacNAc Type 2 acceptors. Further, this enzyme was twofold active towards the asialo agalacto glycopeptide as compared to the parent asialoglycopeptide. Only 60% of the GlcNAc moieties were released from [14C]fucosylated asialo agalacto triantennary glycopeptide by jack bean beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase. These alpha1,3-L-fucosylating activities on multiterminal GlcNAc residues and chitobiose were further examined by characterizing the products arising from fetuin triantennary and bovine IgG diantennary glycopeptides and their exoglycosidase-modified derivatives using lectin affinity chromatography. Utilization of [14C]fucosylated glycopeptides with cloned FTs indicated that Lens culinaris lectin and Aleuria aurantia lectin (AAL) required, respectively, the diantennary backbone and the chitobiose core alpha1,6-fucosyl residue for binding. The outer core alpha1,3- but not the alpha-1,2-fucosyl residues decreased the binding affinity of AAL. The AAL-binding fraction from [14C]fucosylated asialo fetuin, using colon carcinoma cell extract, contained 60% Endo F/PNGaseF resistant chains. Similarly AAL-binding species from [14C]fucosylated TFA-treated bovine IgG using colon carcinoma cell extract showed significant resistance to endo F/PNGaseF. However, no such resistance was found with the corresponding AAL non- and weak-binding species. Thus colon carcinoma cells have the capacity to fucosylate the chitobiose core in glycoproteins, and this alpha1,3-L-fucosylation is apparently responsible for the AAL binding of glycoproteins. A cloned FT VI was found to be very similar to this enzyme in acceptor substrate specificities. The colon cancer cell FT thus exhibits four catalytic roles, i.e., alpha1,3-L-fucosylation of: (a) Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta-; (b) multiterminal GlcNAc units in complex type chain; (c) the inner core chitobiose of glycopeptides and glycoproteins; and (d) the nonreducing terminal chiotobiose unit.

Abstract
The synthesis of an octasaccharide containing the dimeric Le(x) oligosaccharide structure found in PSGL-1 carbohydrate chains is reported. Several approaches were investigated employing regioselective and stereoselective glycosylation procedures, and a novel Lewis(x) trisaccharide donor, 7, was prepared and utilized as a key intermediate building block in the scheme developed for the construction of octasaccharide 3. Toward the preparation of 7, investigations into the influence of different protecting groups upon the relative reactivities of disaccharide acceptor moieties, 25 or 26, and the fucosyl donors, 10 and 11, were conducted using similar glycosylating conditions. Dramatic differences were noted between the effects of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups upon the reactivity of the acceptor hydroxyl. A similar effect upon the glycosylating capability of the donor molecule was, likewise, observed. The repeat use of donor 7 was instrumental in the synthesis of the desired dimeric octasaccharide structure 3. The structure and purity of 3 and important intermediates were fully characterized by DQF-COSY, TOCSY, ROESY, and ESI mass spectroscopy.

Abstract
Prostate carcinoma LNCaP cells were unique among several human cancer cell lines which include two other prostate cancer cell lines, PC-3 and DU-145, in expressing alpha1,2-L-fucosyltransferase (FT) as an exclusive FT activity. Affinity gel-GDP and Sephacryl S100 HR columns were used for a partial purification of this enzyme from 3.9 x 10(9) LNCaP cells (approximately 200-fold; 40% yield). The K(m) value (2.7 mM) for the LacNAc type 2 acceptor was quite similar to the one reported for the cloned blood group H gene-specified alpha1,2-FT [Chandrasekaran et al. (1996) Biochemistry 35, 8914-8924]. N-Ethylmaleimide was a potent inhibitor (K(i ) 12.5 microM). The enzyme showed four-fold acceptor preference for the LacNAc type 2 unit in comparison to the T-hapten in mucin core 2 structure. Its main features were similar to those of the cloned enzyme: (1) C-6 sulfation of terminal Gal in the LacNAc unit increased the acceptor efficiency, whereas C-6 sialylation abolished acceptor ability; (2) C-6 sulfation of GlcNAc in LacNAc type 2 decreased by 80% the acceptor ability, whereas LacNAc type 1 was unaffected; (3) Lewis x did not serve as an acceptor; (4) the C-4 hydroxyl rather than the C-6 hydroxyl group of the GlcNAc moiety in LacNAc type1 was essential for activity; and (5) the acrylamide copolymer of Galbeta1,3GlcNAcbeta-O-Al was the best acceptor among the acrylamide copolymers. Additionally, highly significant biological features of alpha1,2FT were identified in the present study. The synthesis of Globo H and Lewis b determinants became evident from the fact that Galbeta1,3GalNAcbeta1,3Galalpha-O-Me and Galbeta1,3(Fucalpha1,4)Glc-NAcbeta1,3Galbeta-O-Me served as high-affinity acceptors for this enzyme. Further, D-Fucbeta1,3Gal-NAcbeta1,3Galalpha-O-Me was a very efficient acceptor, indicating that the C-6 hydroxyl group of the terminal Gal moiety in Globo H is not essential for the enzyme activity. Thus, the present study was able to demonstrate three different catalytic roles of LNCaP alpha1,2-FT, namely, the expressions of blood group H, Lewis b from Lewis a, and Globo H.

Abstract
Total syntheses of the GlyCAM-1 (glycosylation-dependent cell adhesion molecule-1) oligosaccharide structures: [alpha-NeuAc-(2 --> 3)-beta-Gal-(1 --> 4)-[alpha-Fuc-(1 --> 3)]-beta-(6-O-SO3Na)-GlcNAc-(1 --> 6)]-[alpha-NeuAc-(2 --> 3)-beta-Gal-(1 --> 3)]-alpha-GalNAc-OMe (1) and [alpha-NeuAc-(2 --> 3)-beta-Gal-(1 --> 4)-[alpha-Fuc-(1 --> 3)]-beta-GlcNAc-(1 --> 6)]-[alpha-NeuAc-(2 3)-beta-Gal-(1 --> 3)]-alpha-GalNAc-OMe (2) through a novel sialyl LewisX tetrasaccharide donor are described. Employing sequential glycosylation strategy, the starting trisaccharide was regio- and stereoselectively constructed through coupling of a disaccharide imidate with the monosaccharide acceptor phenyl-6-O-naphthylmethyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranoside with TMSOTf as a catalyst without affecting the SPh group. The novel sialyl Lewisx tetrasaccharide donor 3 was then obtained by alpha-L-fucosylation of trisaccharide acceptor with the 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-1-thio-beta-L-fucoside donor. The structure of the novel sialyl Lewisx tetrasaccharide was established by a combination of 2D DQF-COSY and 2D ROESY experiments. Target oligosaccharides 1 and 2 were eventually constructed through heptasaccharide which was obtained by regioselective assembly of advanced sialyl Lewisx tetrasaccharide donor 3 and a sialylated trisaccharide acceptor in a predictable and controlled manner. Finally, target heptasaccharides 1 and 2 were fully characterized by 2D DQF-COSY, 2D ROESY, HSQC, HMBC experiments and FAB mass spectroscopy.

Abstract
The total syntheses of several complex oligosaccharide moieties that occur in the core structure of sulfated mucins are reported. A trisaccharide acceptor was obtained through regio- and stereoselective sialylation of methyl (6-O-pivaloyl-beta-D-galactopyanosyl)(1-->3)-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-a cetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside with a novel sialyl donor. A tetrasaccharide, pentasaccharide, and hexasaccharide were constructed in predictable and controlled manner with high regio- and stereoselectivity after the successful preparation and employment of a disaccharide donor, trisaccharide donor, disaccharide acceptor, and trisaccharide acceptor building blocks. Finally, a mild oxidative cleaving method was adopted for the selective removal of 2-naphthylmethyl (NAP) in the presence of benzyl groups.

The N,N-diacetylamino sialyl donor appears to be more reactive than its parent acetamido sugar when allowed to react with an disaccharide acceptor under the same glycosylation conditions.

Abstract
Our recent studies have revealed the existence of two distinct Gal: 3-O-sulfotransferases capable of acting on the C-3 position of galactose in a Core 2 branched structure, e.g., Galbeta1-->4GlcNAcbeta1-->6(Galbeta1-->3)GalNacalph a1-->OBenzyl as acceptor to give 3-O-sulfoGalbeta1-->4GlcNAcbeta1-->3(Galbeta1-->3)G alNAcalpha1-->OB 20 and Galbeta1-->4GlcNAcbeta1-->6(3-O-sulfoGalbeta1-->3)G alNAcalpha1-->OB 23. We herein report the synthesis of these two compounds and also that of other modified analogs that are highly specific acceptors for the two sulfotransferases. Appropriately protected 1-thio-glycosides 7, 8, and 10 were employed as glycosyl donors for the synthesis of our target compounds.

Abstract
The selectins interact in important normal and pathological situations with certain sialylated, fucosylated glycoconjugate ligands containing sialyl Lewisx(Neu5Acalpha2-3Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcN Ac). Much effort has gone into the synthesis of sialylated and sulfated Lewisxanalogs as competitive ligands for the selectins. Since the natural selectin ligands GlyCAM-1 and PSGL-1 carry sialyl Lewisxas part of a branched Core 2 O-linked structure, we recently synthesized Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAcbeta1-6(SE-3Galbeta1++ +-3)GalNAc1alphaOMe and found it to be a moderately superior ligand for L and P-selectin (Koenig et al. , Glycobiology 7, 79-93, 1997). Other studies have shown that sulfate esters can replace sialic acid in some selectin ligands (Yeun et al. , Biochemistry, 31, 9126-9131, 1992; Imai et al. , Nature, 361, 555, 1993). Based upon these observations, we hypothesized that Neu5Acalpha2-3Galbeta1-3GalNAc might have the capability of interacting with L- and P-selectin. To examine this hypothesis, we synthesized Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAcbeta1-6(Neu5Acalpha2++ +-3Galbeta1-3)-GalNAc alpha1-OB, which was found to be 2- to 3-fold better than sialyl Lexfor P and L selectin, respectively. We also report the synthesis of an unusual structure GalNAcbeta1-4(Fucalpha1- 3)GlcNAcbeta1-OMe (GalNAc-Lewisx-O-methyl glycoside), which also proved to be a better inhibitor of L- and P-selectin than sialyl Lewisx-OMe. Combining this with our knowledge of Core 2 branched structures, we have synthesized a molecule that is 5- to 6-fold better at inhibiting L- and P-selectin than sialyl Lewisx-OMe, By contrast to unbranched structures, substitution of a sulfate ester group for a sialic acid residue in such a molecule resulted in a considerable loss of inhibition ability. Thus, the combination of a sialic acid residue on the primary (beta1-3) arm, and a modified Lexunit on the branched (beta1-6) arm on an O-linked Core 2 structure generated a monovalent synthetic oliogosaccharide inhibitor superior to SLexfor both L- and P-selectin.

Abstract
Antisera to the chemically synthesized trisaccharide, Gal beta 1-3(GlcNAc beta 1-6)GalNAc, and disaccharide, GlcNAc beta 1-6GalNAc, were developed using the diazophenyl bovine serum albumin derivatives. The binding specificity of the antisera were analyzed by enzyme immunoassays with structurally related, chemically synthesized oligosaccharides. The anti-trisaccharide antibody showed no reactivity to T antigenic structures which bear the Gal beta 1-3GalNAc moiety. The immunodominant area of the Gal beta 1-3(GlcNAc beta 1-6)GalNAc was contained in the GlcNAc beta 1-6GalNAc region of the molecule. The reactivity pattern of the anti-trisaccharide antibody, although directed to the disaccharide, did not exactly duplicate the reactivity pattern of the anti-disaccharide.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography under elevated pressure (l.c.) was employed for the separation of some benzyl and nitrophenyl glycosides of a variety of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetra-saccharides. The separation was conducted on a Waters Carbohydrate Analysis column by use of a mixture of acetonitrile-water as the mobile phase. In general, monosaccharides emerged first from the column, followed sequentially by di-, tri-, and tetra-saccharides. It was observed that the pattern of substitution imparts a noticeable effect on the elution profiles of isomeric oligosaccharides. Also, substitution of a hydroxyl group with a methyl group, or its replacement with a fluorine atom, led to a substantial decrease in retention times of some oligosaccharides. Moreover, resolution was clearly enhanced, and retention times were congruently increased by decreasing the water content of the mobile phase.

Abstract
1,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-2-O-methyl-D-galactopyranose, prepared from known methyl 6-O-acetyl-3,4-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-galactopyranoside, was treated with hydrogen bromide in dichloromethane to afford 3,4,6-tri-O-acetl-2-O-methyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl bromide. Condensation with benzyl 2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside in acetonitrile in the presence of mercuric cyanide gave an approximately 1:1 mixture of benzyl 2-acetamido-3, 6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-4-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-O-methyl-beta- (8) and -alpha-D-galactopyranosyl)-alpha-D-glucopyranoside. O-Deacetylation and catalytic hydrogenolysis of the benzyl group furnished 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-(2-O-methyl-beta- and alpha-D-galactopyranosyl)-D-glucopyranose. Alternatively, benzyl 2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-4-O-beta-D- galactopyranosyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside was treated with tert-butyldiphenyl-chlorosilane in N,N-dimethylformamide, in the presence of imidazole, to give a 6'-O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl intermediate that was in turn converted into its 3',4'-O-isopropylidene acetal. Methylation with methyl iodide-silver oxide in N,N-dimethylformamide, followed by removal of the silyl and isopropylidene groups gave benzyl 2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-4-O-(2-O-methyl-beta-D- galactopyranosyl)-alpha-D-glucopyranoside, which was further characterized as its triacetate 8.

Abstract
A modified procedure was developed for the determination of UDP-galactose: 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-glucopyranoside beta-(1----4)-galactosyltransferase (GT) in human serum which employed the synthetic substrates p-nitrophenyl 6-0-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-beta-D-galactopyranoside and p-nitrophenyl 6-0-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-alpha-D- mannopyranoside as acceptors. The enzyme products were identified by thin layer chromatography with authentic reference compounds, and the galactosyl linkage was characterized by hydrolysis with beta-D-galactosidase from jack beans. The diagnostic value of this GT for ovarian cancer was tested by measuring the serum enzyme activity in 28 ovarian cancer patients with disease, 20 ovarian cancer patients with no clinical evidence of disease, and 22 healthy females. Although the level of the enzyme activity was significantly higher (P less than 0.002) in the serum of patients with active disease when compared to healthy controls, an appreciable overlap of enzyme activity was found between them. Also, no correlation was found between enzyme activity and tumor size. Differences in methodology and selection of patients makes it difficult to compare results from other reports. However, based on our improved assay procedure, we suggest caution should be exercised in evaluating the merits of GT as a diagnostic marker for ovarian cancer.

Abstract
A practical approach for the synthesis of oligosaccharides containing the O-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl-(1----2)-D-galactopyranosyl unit has been developed by utilizing the readily accessible 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-O-(2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-alpha-L- fucopyranosyl)-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl bromide (1). Thus, condensation of bromide 1 with 8-(methoxycarbonyl)octanol in benzene, in the presence of mercuric cyanide, afforded, after column-chromatographic separation, the anomers (3 and 4) of 8-(methoxycarbonyl)octyl 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-O-(2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl)-D- galactopyranoside in the ratio of 13:4. On the basis of their specific rotations, compounds 3 and 4 were tentatively assigned the alpha and beta configuration, respectively. Similarly, bromide 1 was allowed to react with some other, appropriately protected sugars having a free alcohol group, to afford the corresponding alpha and beta anomers of a galactopyranosyl residue having an alpha-L-fucopyranosyl substituent at O-2. Column-chromatographic separation of the anomeric mixtures, followed by systematic removal of the protecting groups, then provided the final oligosaccharides desired. In this manner, the synthesis of the following oligosaccharides has been accomplished: alpha-L-Fuc-(1----2)-alpha-D-Gal-1----O(CH2)8CO2Me (5), alpha-L-Fuc-(1----2)-beta-D-Gal-1----O(CH2)8CO2Me (6), alpha-L-Fuc-(1----2)-alpha-D-Gal-(1----3)-beta-D-GlcNAc-1----OC6H4NO2 -p (11), alpha-L-Fuc-(1----2)-beta-D-Gal-(1----3)-beta-D-GlcNAc-1----OC6H4NO2+ ++-p (13), alpha-L-Fuc-(1----2)-alpha-D-Gal-(1----3)-alpha-D-GalNAc-1----OC6H4NO 2-o, and alpha-L-Fuc-(1----2)-beta-D-Gal-(1----3)-alpha-D-GalNAc-1----OC6H4NO2 -o (18).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Glycosylation of benzyl 2-acetamido-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-alpha-D- galactopyranoside with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl bromide, catalyzed by mercuric cyanide, afforded benzyl-2-acetamido-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-3- O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-alpha-D- galactopyranoside (3). O-Deacetylation of 3 gave benzyl 2-acetamido-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-3-O-beta- D-galactopyranosyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside which, on acetalation with benzaldehyde-zinc chloride complex followed by acetylation of the resulting dibenzylidene acetal, gave the disaccharide diacetate (7). Cleavage of the acetal groups of 3 and 7 in hot, 80% aqueous acetic acid furnished, respectively, the disaccharide tetraacetate (4) and diacetate (8). O-Deacetylation of 8 in methanolic sodium methoxide gave the disaccharide (9). Condensation of 4 or 8 with 2-methyl-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-1,2- dideoxy-alpha-D-glucopyrano)-[2,1-d]-2-oxazoline, followed by O-deacetylation, afforded the title tri- and tetra-saccharides, 12 and 14, respectively.
