Abstract
An effective strategy has been designed for the synthesis of oligosaccharides of different sizes structurally related to the regular region of heparin; this is illustrated by the preparation of hexasaccharide 1 and octasaccharide 2. This synthetic strategy provides the oligosaccharide sequence containing a D-glucosamine unit at the nonreducing end that is not available either by enzymatic or chemical degradation of heparin. It may permit, after slight modifications, the preparation of oligosaccharide fragments with different charge distribution as well. NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations have shown that the overall structure of 1 in solution is a stable right-hand helix with four residues per turn. Hexasaccharide 1 and, most likely, octasaccharide 2 are, therefore, chemically well-defined structural models of naturally occurring heparin-like oligosaccharides for use in binding and biological activity studies. Both compounds 1 and 2 induce the mitogenic activity of acid fibroblast growth factor (FGF1), with the half-maximum activating concentration of 2 being equivalent to that of heparin. Sedimentation equilibrium analysis with compound 2 suggests that heparin-induced FGF1 dimerization is not an absolute requirement for biological activity.

Abstract
Milk lactose is hydrolysed to galactose and glucose in the small intestine of mammals by the lactase/phlorizin hydrolase complex (LPH; EC 3.2.1.108/62). The two enzymatic activities, lactase and phlorizin hydrolase, are located in the same polypeptide chain. According to sequence homology, mature LPH contains two different regions (III and IV), each of them homologous to family 1 glycosidases and each with a putative active site. There has been some discrepancy with regard to the assignment of enzymatic activity to the two active sites. Here we show differential reactivity of the two active sites with mechanism-based glycosidase inhibitors. When LPH is treated with 2',4'-dinitrophenyl 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1) and 2', 4'-dinitrophenyl-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-galactopyranoside (2), known mechanism-based inhibitors of glycosidases, it is observed that compound 1 preferentially inactivates the phlorizin hydrolase activity whereas compound 2 is selective for the lactase active site. On the other hand, glycals (D-glucal and D-galactal) competitively inhibit lactase activity but not phlorizin hydrolase activity. This allows labeling of the phlorizin site with compound 1 by protection with a glycal. By differential labeling of each active site using 1 and 2 followed by proteolysis and MS analysis of the labeled fragments, we confirm that the phlorizin hydrolysis occurs mainly at the active site located at region III of LPH and that the active site located at region IV is responsible for the lactase activity. This assignment is coincident with that proposed from the results of recent active-site mutagenesis studies [Zecca, L., Mesonero, J.E., Stutz, A., Poiree, J.C., Giudicelli, J., Cursio, R., Gloor, S.M. & Semenza, G. (1998) FEBS Lett. 435, 225-228] and opposite to that based on data from early affinity labeling with conduritol B epoxide [Wacker, W., Keller, P., Falchetto, R., Legler, G. & Semenza, G. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 18744-18752].

Abstract
The preparation of the pseudopentasaccharide 1a, an inositol-phosphoglycan (IPG) that contains the conserved linear structure of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol anchors (GPI anchors), was carried out by using a highly convergent 2+3-block synthesis approach which involves imidate and sulfoxide glycosylation reactions. The preferred solution conformation of this structure was determined by using NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations prior to carrying out quantitative structure--activity relationship studies in connection with the insulin signalling process. The ability of 1a to stimulate lipogenesis in rat adipocytes as well as to inhibit cAMP dependent protein kinase and to activate pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase was investigated. Compound 1a did not show any significant activity, which may be taken as a strong indication that the GPI anchors are not the precursors of the IPG mediators.

Abstract
The regioselectivity of enzymatic transgalactosidation depends on the source of the beta-galactosidase used. When the galactosyl acceptor only contains secondary hydroxyl groups, e.g., D- or L-xylose, it is possible to find an enzyme that catalyses preferentially the synthesis of any of the three regioisomers 4-, 3- and 2-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-D-xylose (1, 2 and 3, respectively) or 4-, 3- and 2-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-L-xylose (4, 5 and 6, respectively). Enriched mixtures in 1, 2 or 3 were obtained using beta-galactosidases from Escherichia coli, bovine testes or Aspergillus oryzae, respectively, by transgalactosidation reaction of O-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside and D-xylose, and enriched mixtures in 4, 5 or 6 were obtained in a similar way using beta-galactosidases from Aspergillus oryzae, lamb small-intestine (intestinal lactase-phloridzin hydrolase) or Saccharomyces fragilis, respectively, using L-xylose as acceptor.

Abstract
By enzymatic beta-D-galactosylation of D-xylose a mixture of 4-, 3-, and 2-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-D-xyloses (1, 4, and 7, respectively) was obtained in 50% isolated yield. Disaccharides 1, 4, and 7 are substrates of intestinal lactase isolated from lamb small intestine with K(m) values of 250.0, 4.5, and 14.0 mM, respectively. The mixture was used to monitor the normal decline in lactase activity in rats that takes place after weaning. The data obtained by this method correlated with the levels of intestinal lactase activity in the same animals after being sacrificed.

Abstract
A synthetic tetrasaccharide (TS4), structurally related to blood groups, inhibited the proliferation of the C6 glioma cells in culture and the growth of tumors formed after intracerebral transplantation of C6 cells. TS4-treated tumors were substantially smaller than controls, as expected from TS4 cytostatic action on C6 glioma cells in culture. However, in vivo treatment also caused extensive tumor destruction. This effect appeared to be caused by indirectly, either by activation of natural killer cells, cytotoxic lymphocytes, or by inhibition of tumor vascularization. Enhanced antigenicity of TS4-treated glioma may be related to the increased expression of connexin 43 observed in glioma cell cultures treated with the oligosaccharide. Because concentrations of up to 20 mg/ml of TS4 were not toxic for normal neuronal or glial cells, specific oligosaccharides such as TS4 offer the possibility of selective tumor treatment.

Abstract
Milk lactose is hydrolysed to D-galactose and D-glucose in the small intestine of mammals by the lactase-phlorizin hydrolase complex (LPH, EC 3.2.1.23-62). Lactase activity has broad substrate selectivity and several glycosides are substrates. Recently, using the monodeoxy derivatives of methyl beta-lactoside (1), we have shown the importance of each hydroxyl group in the substrate molecule concerning the interaction with the enzyme. Now we have studied the corresponding O-methyl derivatives, as well as some of the halo derivatives of 1. We have found that the enzyme presents steric restrictions to the recognition of substrates modified in the galactose moiety. In contrast, the binding site for the aglycon part of the substrate is looser. On the other hand, we have previously shown that HO-3' and HO-6 were important for the recognition of the substrate by the enzyme. Now we have found that the corresponding fluorine derivatives are not, or very poorly, recognized. This suggests that the HO-3' and HO-6 participate, as donors, in hydrogen bonds in the interaction with the enzyme.

Abstract
The binding of different synthetic monodeoxy, O-methyl and fluorodeoxy derivatives of methyl beta-lactoside to galectin-1 from bovine heart has been studied to probe the role of hydrogen bonding in the recognition and binding. The energetic contributions of the hydroxyl groups of methyl beta-lactoside directly involved in the interaction have been estimated and the nature of the protein residues involved has been predicted on the basis of the free energy data. Interpretations of the results have been sustained by molecular modeling of the three-dimensional structure of the sugars in solution. One side of the disaccharide molecule is not involved (HO-6 and HO-2') or only marginally involved (HO-3') in hydrogen bonding. Moreover, O-methylation at these positions causes an enhancement of the binding, suggesting favourable interactions of the methyl groups which may come into contact with hydrophobic residues at the periphery of the combining site. Hydrogen-bonding interactions are almost exclusively restricted to the other side of the molecule: the C-4' and C-6' hydroxyl groups act as donors of the strongest hydrogen bonds to charged groups of the lectin, while the C-3 hydroxyl group participates in a strong hydrogen bond with a neutral group. The results also suggest that the N-acetyl NH group in N-acetyllactosamine, as well as the hydroxyl group at position C-2 in methyl beta-lactoside, are involved in a polar interaction with neutral groups of the combining site. This hydrogen-bonding pattern contrasts markedly with that previously reported for the two galactose-specific Ricinus communis lectins. The recognition of different epitopes of the same basic structure underlies the differences in the oligosaccharide-binding specificities of galectin-1 and the R. communis lectins.

Abstract
Syntheses of the 3-aminodeoxy (4), 3-deoxy-3-methyl (5), and 3-epi (6) derivatives of methyl beta-lactoside (1) have been achieved from 1 in a straightforward way, and their solution conformations in water and dimethyl sulfoxide analysed through molecular mechanics and dynamics calculations and nuclear magnetic resonance data. The overall shape of all the compounds studied is fairly similar and may be described by conformers included in a low energy region with phi = 15 +/- 45 degrees and psi = -25 +/- 30 degrees, that is ca. 5% of the total potential energy surface for the glycosidic linkages of the disaccharides. The binding of the different compounds to ricin, the galactose-specific toxin from Ricinus communis, has been investigated. The results confirm the involvement of the C-3 region in a nonpolar interaction with the protein at the periphery of the combining site.

Abstract
The binding of O-methyl and fluorodeoxy derivatives of methyl beta-lactoside to the Ricinus communis toxin (RCA60) and agglutinin (RCA120) was studied in order to determine the donor/acceptor relationships of the hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl groups of methyl beta-lactoside and the binding sites of the lectins. Free energy contributions of the hydrogen bonds at each position have been estimated from these data and from those previously reported for the monodeoxy derivatives [Rivera-Sagredo, A., Solís, D., Díaz-Mauriño, T., Jiménez-Barbero, J. & Martín-Lomas, M. (1991) Eur. J. Biochem. 197, 217-228; Rivera-Sagredo, A., Jiménez-Barbero, J., Martín-Lomas, M., Solís, D. & Díaz-Mauriño, T. (1992) Carbohydr. Res. 232, 207-226]. The nature of the groups of the lectins involved in hydrogen bonding has been predicted on the basis of the free energy data. Analysis of the results indicates that both the C-3' and C-4' hydroxyl groups act as hydrogen-bond donors to charged groups of both RCA60 and RCA120. The C-6' and probably also the C-2' hydroxyl groups participate both as donors and as acceptors of two hydrogen bonds with neutral groups of the lectins. And finally, the C-6 hydroxyl group possibly acts as a donor of a weak hydrogen bond to a neutral group in RCA60, but not in RCA120. The results provide a molecular basis to explain some features of the binding specificity of the lectins. Comparison of RCA60 binding data with the recently refined X-ray crystal structure of the RCA60-lactose complex shows similarities but also some discrepancies that can be attributed to the marked influence of the pH on the carbohydrate-lectin interaction.

Abstract
The syntheses of the poly-phosphorylated galactosides 6, 8, 10, 13, 16, and 20, isolated as sodium salts, have been performed. The non-phosphorylated disaccharide 17 and trisaccharide 21 have been prepared via glycosylation of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl galactosides 3 and 2, respectively, and subsequent complete deprotection. Preliminary insulin-like activity of the phosphorylated derivatives is reported.

Abstract
Glycosylation of (+/- )-1-O-benzyl-2,3:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-myo-inositol (4) with 6-O-acetyl-4-O-allyl-2-azido-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (6) gave the 4-O-(2-amino-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)- myo-inositol derivative (9) as a mixture of diastereoisomers which could be resolved by chromatography. Likewise alpha-glycosylation of 4 with 6-O-acetyl-2-azido-3-O-benzoyl-2-deoxy-4-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta- D- galactopyranosyl)-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (10) gave the corresponding pseudotrisaccharide derivative 16 as a mixture of diastereomers which could be resolved partially by chromatography. alpha-Glycosylation of enantiomerically pure 2,3:5,6- (18) and 2,3:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-1-O-menthoxycarbonyl-myo-inositol (19) with 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (20) gave the pseudodisaccharide derivatives 21 and 22, respectively. Likewise, alpha-glycosylation of 18 with 10 afforded a pseudotrisaccharide derivative (23).

Abstract
Lactase-phlorizin hydrolase is a disaccharidase present in the small intestine of mammals. This enzyme has two active sites, one being responsible for the hydrolysis of lactose. Lactase activity is thought to be selective towards glycosides with a hydrophilic aglycon. In this work, we report a systematic study on the importance of each hydroxyl group in the substrate molecule for lactase activity. For this purpose, all of the monodeoxy derivatives of methyl beta-lactoside and other lactose analogues are studied as lactase substrates. With respect to the galactose moiety, it is shown here that HO-3' and HO-2' are necessary for hydrolysis of the substrates by lactase. Using these chemically modified substrates, it has been confirmed that lactase does not behave as a typical beta-galactosidase, since it does not show an absolute selectivity with respect to substitution and stereochemistry at C4' in the galactose moiety of the substrate. However, the glucose moiety, in particular the HO-6, appears to be important for substrate hydrolysis, although none of the hydroxyl groups seemed to be essential. In order to differentiate both activities of the enzyme, a new assay for the phlorizin-hydrolase activity has also been developed.

Abstract
The 2-, 3-, 6-, 2'-, 3'-, 4'-, and 6'-deoxy derivatives and the 3-O-methyl derivative of methyl beta-lactoside have been synthesised and their binding to the galactose-specific agglutinin from Ricinus communis (RCA-120) has been investigated. The results indicate that HO-3,4,6 of the beta-D-galactopyranose moiety are the key polar groups. The main difference from the closely related ricin lectin RCA-60 involves HO-6 of the D-glucopyranose moiety, which seems to contribute to the binding of the carbohydrate to RCA-60 but not to RCA-120.

Abstract
4-O-beta-D-Galactopyranosyl-D-xylose (2) was prepared from benzyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-xylopyranoside by glycosylation with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl bromide and subsequent deprotection. Compound 2 was hydrolyzed in vitro by intestinal lactase; the Vmax was 25% of that with lactose and the Km was 370mM (cf. 27mM for lactose). Oral administration of 2 suckling rats led to urinary excretion of D-xylose which could be estimated colorimetrically.

Abstract
The 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectra of solutions of methyl beta-lactoside (1), all of its monodeoxy derivatives (2, 3, 6-10), the 3-O-methyl derivative (4), and methyl 4-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-D-xylopyranoside (5) in methyl sulfoxide-d6 have been analysed. The n.O.e.'s and specific desheildings indicate similar distributions of low-energy conformers, comparable to those in aqueous solution. The major conformer has torsion angles phi H and psi H of 49 degrees and 5 degrees, respectively, with contributions of conformers with phi/psi 24 degrees/-59 degrees, 22 degrees/32 degrees, and 6 degrees/44 degrees.

Abstract
The binding of methyl beta-lactoside and of all possible monodeoxy derivatives of methyl beta-lactoside to the galactose-specific highly cytotoxin lectin ricin, has been investigated. The distribution of low-energy conformers of the disaccharide structures has been first determined using molecular-mechanics calculations and high-resolution NMR spectroscopy. The nuclear Overhauser enhancements and specific deshieldings observed are in agreement with a similar distribution of low-energy conformers for all studied compounds which may be described by a major conformer defined by phi (H1'-C1'-O1'-C4) and psi (C1'-O1'-C4-H4) torsion angles of 49 degrees and 5 degrees, respectively, with contribution of conformers with angles phi/psi 24 degrees/-59 degrees, 22 degrees/-32 degrees and 6 degrees/-44 degrees. Assuming that the disaccharides bind to the lectin in these preferred conformations, the apparent dissociation constants for the ricin-disaccharide complexes have been interpreted in terms of specific polar and nonpolar interactions. In agreement with X-ray data, the hydroxyl groups at positions 3, 4 and 6 of the beta-D-galactopyranose moiety appear as key polar groups in the interaction with ricin. These results are in contrast to previous results which have established that position 6 is not involved in lectin binding. An important nonpolar interaction involving position 3 of the beta-D-glucopyranose moiety, seems to be operative. The distribution of low-energy conformers of these disaccharide structures permits this interaction to take place with the hydroxyl group at this position intramolecularly bonded, thus rendering this region of the molecule more lipophylic in character for acceptance into nonpolar regions of the combining site.
