Enzymatic synthesis of GlcNAc-terminated poly-N-acetyllactosamine beta-glycosides GlcNAcbeta1,3(Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,3)(n)Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta-pNP (n=1-4) was demonstrated using a transglycosylation reaction of Escherichia freundii endo-beta-galactosidase. The enzyme catalyzed a transglycosylation reaction on GlcNAcbeta1,3Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta-pNP (1), which served both as a donor and an acceptor, and converted 1 into p-nitrophenyl beta-glycosides GlcNAcbeta1,3(Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,3)(1)Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta-pNP (2), GlcNAcbeta1,3(Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,3)(2)Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta-pNP (3), GlcNAcbeta1,3(Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,3)(3)Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta-pNP (4) and GlcNAcbeta1,3(Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,3)(4)Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta-pNP (5). When 2 was used as an initial substrate, it led to the preferential synthesis of nonasaccharide beta-glycoside 4 to heptasaccharide beta-glycoside 3. This suggests that 4 is directly synthesized by transferring the tetrasaccharide unit GlcNAcbeta1,3Galbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,3Gal to nonreducing end GlcNAc residue of 2 itself. The efficiency of production of poly-N-acetyllactosamines by E. freundii endo-beta-galactosidase was significantly enhanced by the addition of BSA and by a low-temperature condition. Resulting 2 and 3 were shown to be useful for studying endo-beta-galactosidase-catalyzed hydrolytic and transglycosylation reactions.
