Abstract
Altered glycoprotein expression is an undisputed corollary of cancer development. Understanding these alterations is paramount but hampered by limitations underlying cellular model systems. For instance, the intricate interactions between tumour and host cannot be adequately recapitulated in monoculture of tumour-derived cell lines. More complex co-culture models usually rely on sorting procedures for proteome analyses and rarely capture the details of protein glycosylation. Here, we report a strategy termed Bio-Orthogonal Cell line-specific Tagging of Glycoproteins (BOCTAG). Cells are equipped by transfection with an artificial biosynthetic pathway that transforms bioorthogonally tagged sugars into the corresponding nucleotide-sugars. Only transfected cells incorporate bioorthogonal tags into glycoproteins in the presence of non-transfected cells. We employ BOCTAG as an imaging technique and to annotate cell-specific glycosylation sites in mass spectrometry-glycoproteomics. We demonstrate application in co-culture and mouse models, allowing for profiling of the glycoproteome as an important modulator of cellular function.

Abstract
Promiscuous activity of a glycosyltransferase was exploited to polymerise glucose from UDP-glucose via the generation of β-1,4-glycosidic linkages. The biocatalyst was incorporated into biocatalytic cascades and chemo-enzymatic strategies to synthesise cello-oligosaccharides with tailored functionalities on a scale suitable for employment in mass spectrometry-based assays. The resulting glycan structures enabled reporting of the activity and selectivity of celluloltic enzymes.

Abstract
S. pneumoniae is a major human pathogen with increasing antibiotic resistance. Pneumococcal vaccines consist of capsular polysaccharide (CPS) or their related fragments conjugated to a carrier protein. The repeating unit of S. pneumoniae type 14 CPS shares a core structure with the CPS of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) type III: the only difference is that the latter exhibits a sialic acid unit, with a α-2,3 linkage to galactose. Here, the automated glycan assembly (AGA) of two frameshifts of the repeating unit of S. pneumoniae type 14 is described. The same strategy is used to assemble dimers of the different repeating unit frameshifts. The four structures are assembled with only three commercially available monosaccharide building blocks. We also report an example of how enzymatic sialylation of the compounds obtained with AGA completes a synthetic route for GBS type III glycans. The synthesized structures were tested in competitive ELISA and further confirmed the branched tetrasaccharide Gal-Glc-(Gal-)GlcNAc to be the minimal epitope of S. pneumoniae type 14. A streamlined automated synthesis for S. pneumoniae type 14 and Group B Streptococcus type III capsular oligosaccharides with only one set of three building blocks is presented. Competitive ELISA provides some insight into minimal epitope.![]()

Abstract
Within human biology, combinations of regioisomeric motifs of α2,6- or α2,3-sialic acids linked to galactose are frequently observed attached to glycoconjugates. These include glycoproteins and glycolipids, with each linkage carrying distinct biological information and function. Microbial linkage-specific sialidases have become important tools for studying the role of these sialosides in complex biological settings, as well as being used as biocatalysts for glycoengineering. However, currently, there is no α2,6-specific sialidase available. This gap has been addressed herein by exploiting the ability of a Photobacterium sp. α2,6-sialyltransferase to catalyze trans-sialidation reversibly and in a highly linkage-specific manner, acting as a pseudosialidase in the presence of cytidine monophosphate. Selective, near quantitative removal of α2,6-linked sialic acids was achieved from a wide range of sialosides including small molecules conjugates, simple glycan, glycopeptide and finally complex glycoprotein including both linkages.

Abstract
Glycosyl phosphates are important intermediates in many metabolic pathways and are substrates for diverse carbohydrate-active enzymes. Thus, there is a need to develop libraries of structurally similar analogues that can be used as selective chemical probes in glycomics. Here, we explore chemoenzymatic cascades for the fast generation of glycosyl phosphate libraries without protecting-group strategies. The key enzyme is a new bacterial galactokinase (LgGalK) cloned from Leminorella grimontii, which was produced in Escherichia coli and shown to catalyse 1-phosphorylation of galactose. LgGalK displayed a broad substrate tolerance, being able to catalyse the 1-phosphorylation of a number of galactose analogues, including 3-deoxy-3-fluorogalactose and 4-deoxy-4-fluorogalactose, which were first reported to be substrates for wild-type galactokinase. LgGalK and galactose oxidase variant M1 were combined in a one-pot, two-step system to synthesise 6-oxogalactose-1-phosphate and 6-oxo-2-fluorogalactose-1-phosphate, which were subsequently used to produce a panel of 30 substituted 6-aminogalactose-1-phosphate derivatives by chemical reductive amination in a one-pot, three-step chemoenzymatic process.

Abstract
The identification of carbohydrate-protein interactions is central to our understanding of the roles of cell-surface carbohydrates (the glycocalyx), fundamental for cell-recognition events. Therefore, there is a need for fast high-throughput biochemical tools to capture the complexity of these biological interactions. Here, we describe a rapid method for qualitative label-free detection of carbohydrate-protein interactions on arrays of simple synthetic glycans, more complex natural glycosaminoglycans (GAG), and lectins/carbohydrate binding proteins using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. The platform can unequivocally identify proteins that are captured from either purified or complex sample mixtures, including biofluids. Identification of proteins bound to the functionalized array is achieved by analyzing either the intact protein mass or, after on-chip proteolytic digestion, the peptide mass fingerprint and/or tandem mass spectrometry of selected peptides, which can yield highly diagnostic sequence information. The platform described here should be a valuable addition to the limited analytical toolbox that is currently available for glycomics.

Abstract
DNA-encoded libraries are increasingly used for the discovery of bioactive lead compounds in high-throughput screening programs against specific biological targets. Although a number of libraries are now available, they cover limited chemical space due to bias in ease of synthesis and the lack of chemical reactions that are compatible with DNA tagging. For example, compound libraries rarely contain complex biomolecules such as carbohydrates with high levels of functionality, stereochemistry, and hydrophilicity. By using biocatalysis in combination with chemical methods, we aimed to significantly expand chemical space and generate generic libraries with potentially better biocompatibility. For DNA-encoded libraries, biocatalysis is particularly advantageous, as it is highly selective and can be performed in aqueous environments, which is an essential feature for this split-and-mix library technology. In this work, we demonstrated the application of biocatalysis for the on-DNA synthesis of carbohydrate-based libraries by using enzymatic oxidation and glycosylation in combination with traditional organic chemistry.

Abstract
Enantiomerically pure chiral amines are ubiquitous chemical building blocks in bioactive pharmaceutical products and their synthesis from simple starting materials is of great interest. One of the most attractive strategies is the stereoselective installation of a chiral amine through C-H amination, which is a challenging chemical transformation. Herein we report the application of a multienzyme cascade, generated in a single bacterial whole-cell system, which is able to catalyze stereoselective benzylic aminations with ee values of 97.5%. The cascade uses four heterologously expressed recombinant enzymes with cofactors provided by the host cell and isopropyl amine added as the amine donor. The cascade presents the first example of the successful de novo design of a single whole-cell biocatalyst for formal stereoselective C-H amination.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry is the primary analytical technique used to characterize the complex oligosaccharides that decorate cell surfaces. Monosaccharide building blocks are often simple epimers, which when combined produce diastereomeric glycoconjugates indistinguishable by mass spectrometry. Structure elucidation frequently relies on assumptions that biosynthetic pathways are highly conserved. Here, we show that biosynthetic enzymes can display unexpected promiscuity, with human glycosyltransferase pp-α-GanT2 able to utilize both uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine and uridine diphosphate N-acetylgalactosamine, leading to the synthesis of epimeric glycopeptides in vitro. Ion-mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) was used to separate these structures and, significantly, enabled characterization of the attached glycan based on the drift times of the monosaccharide product ions generated following collision-induced dissociation. Finally, ion-mobility mass spectrometry following fragmentation was used to determine the nature of both the reducing and non-reducing glycans of a series of epimeric disaccharides and the branched pentasaccharide Man3 glycan, demonstrating that this technique may prove useful for the sequencing of complex oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Here, we present a comparative structure-function study of a nematode and a plant core α1,3-fucosyltransferase based on deletion and point mutations of the coding regions of Caenorhabditis elegans FUT-1 and Arabidopsis thaliana FucTA (FUT11). In particular, our results reveal a novel "first cluster motif" shared by both core and Lewis-type α1,3-fucosyltransferases of the GT10 family. To evaluate the role of the conserved serine within this motif, this residue was replaced with alanine in FucTA (S218) and FUT-1 (S243). The S218A replacement completely abolished the enzyme activity of FucTA, while the S243A mutant of FUT-1 retained 20% of the "wild-type" activity. Based on the results of homology modeling of FucTA, other residues potentially involved in the donor substrate binding were examined, and mutations of N219 and R226 dramatically affected enzymatic activity. Finally, as both FucTA and FUT-1 were shown to be N-glycosylated, we examined the putative N-glycosylation sites. While alanine replacements at single potential N-glycosylation sites of FucTA resulted in a loss of up to 80% of the activity, a triple glycosylation site mutant still retained 5%, as compared to the control. In summary, our data indicate similar trends in structure-function relationships of distantly related enzymes which perform similar biochemical reactions and form the basis for future work aimed at understanding the structure of α1,3-fucosyltransferases in general.

Abstract
Nisin, a 34-residue peptide bacteriocin, contains the less common amino acids lanthionine, beta-methyl-lanthionine, dehydroalanine (Dha), and dehydrobutyrine (Dhb). Several chemically modified nisin A species were purified by reverse-phase HPLC and characterized by two-dimensional NMR and electrospray mass spectrometry. Five constituents, [2-hydroxy-Ala5]nisin, [Ile4-amide,pyruvyl-Leu6]des-Dha5-nisin, [Met(O)21]nisin, [Ser33]nisin, and nisin-(1-32)-peptide amide, were found in a commercial nisin sample. A further species, [2-hydroxy-Ala5]nisin-(1-32)-peptide amide, was obtained by freeze drying an acidic nisin solution. These compounds are formed by chemical modification of nisin: the addition of a water molecule to the dehydroalanine residues, which can lead to the cleavage of the polypeptide chain, or the oxidation of methionine residues. The 2-hydroxyalanine-containing products have a limited stability; they are spontaneously converted into the corresponding des-dehydroalanine derivatives. The growth-inhibiting activity of the modified nisins towards different bacteria was determined. The 2-hydroxyalanine-containing species and the des-dehydroalanine derivative show a strong reduction in biological activity as compared to native nisin. [Met(O)21]nisin and [Ser33]nisin show moderate or no reduction in biological activity.

Abstract
Nisin is a 3.4-kDa antimicrobial peptide that, as a result of posttranslational modifications, contains unsaturated amino acids and lanthionine residues. It is applied as a preservative in various food products. The solubility and stability of nisin and nisin mutants have been studied. It is demonstrated that nisin mutants can be produced with improved functional properties. The solubility of nisin A is highest at low pH values and gradually decreases by almost 2 orders of magnitude when the pH of the solution exceeds a value of 7. At low pH, nisin Z exhibits a decreased solubility relative to that of nisin A; at neutral and higher pH values, the solubilities of both variants are comparable. Two mutants of nisin Z, which contain lysyl residues at positions 27 and 31, respectively, instead of Asn-27 and His-31, were produced with the aim of reaching higher solubility at neutral pH. Both mutants were purified to homogeneity, and their structures were confirmed by one- and two-dimensional 1H nuclear magnetic resonance. Their antimicrobial activities were found to be similar to that of nisin Z, whereas their solubilities at pH 7 increased by factors of 4 and 7, respectively. The chemical stability of nisin A was studied in the pH range of 2 to 8 and at a 20, 37, and 75 degrees C. Optimal stability was observed at pH 3.0. Nisin Z showed a behavior similar to that of nisin A. A mutant containing dehydrobutyrine at position 5 instead of dehydroalanine had lower activity but was significantly more resistant to acid-catalyzed chemical degradation than wild-type nisin Z.

Abstract
Rat liver cells incorporate monomeric as well as dimeric hematoporphyrin derivatives. Time-dependent incubation assays gave evidence that monomeric compounds are more efficiently incorporated compared to protoporphyrin dimethyl ester hematoporphyrin ether. HL60 cells take up dimeric porphyrins in substantially higher quantities than hepatocytes do. These results allow the conclusion that physiological versus tumor cells behave differently with respect to porphyrin uptake: Whereas physiological cells prefer monomeric porphyrins, tumor cells preferentially incorporate dimeric porphyrins.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetic and -dynamic studies using a novel porphyrin dimer were performed in human line HL60 promyelocytic leukemia cells. Uptake of the dimer into leukemic cells was observed to occur at substantially lower concentrations in comparison to a previously described monomeric dihematoporphyrin ether-free hematoporphyrin derivative. Both dimer and monomer derivatives could be demonstrated to inhibit cell growth, with no remarkable quantitative differences being found in cell proliferation studies regarding [3H]-thymidine incorporation and assay for colony formation. Structurally, the new compound represents an unsymmetrically substituted diethyl ether having protoporphyrin dimethyl ester and hematoporphyrin as substituents. For this reason the compound was designated as protoporphyrin dimethyl ester hematoporphyrin ether.

Abstract
Porphyrin isomer examinations have been performed in two patients with Rotor syndrome (RS), one patient with Gilbert-Meulengracht syndrome and 12 patients with alcohol toxic cholestasis. Under both conditions, cholestasis and RS, total urinary coproporphyrin excretion as well as coproporphyrin isomer I was relatively and absolutely increased. Despite the different degree of the increase of coproporphyrin isomer I excretion between RS (69 vs. 72%) and cholestasis (47% on average), there are single cases with a coproporphyrin isomer I portion around 60%. In such cases, the differential diagnosis is quite difficult, so that the diagnosis "Rotor syndrome" should never be gained by one distinct examination; it is a diagnosis performed by exclusion of other diseases.

Abstract
A dihematoporphyrin ether-free hematoporphyrin derivative has been prepared by a base-catalysed dehydration of hematoporphyrin with sodium hydroxide. The identification was performed by HPLC and mass spectroscopy (FD-MS). The reaction of hematoporphyrin with 1 M sodium hydroxide for 24 h yields more than 90% of the monomeric porphyrins.

Abstract
1. A description is given of the fractionation of kappa-casein on DEAE-cellulose using a pH gradient. With this method an improved separation of the kappa-casein components with a higher negative charge is obtained. 2. It is shown that at least one of the kappa-casein fractions has a second phosphate ester group. The heterogeneity of kappa-casein therefore is not exclusively caused by a varying N-acetylneuraminic acid content. 3. Ultracentrifuge experiments and exclusion gel chromatography show that the purified kappa-casein fraction having the lowest electrophoretic mobility exhibits a monomer-polymer association equilibrium. The free energy of association per mol monomer in 0.2 M NaCl is approximately --36 kJ-mol-1.
