Endo-alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase catalyzes the release of Galbeta1-3GalNAc from the core 1-type O-glycan (Galbeta1-3GalNAcalpha1-Ser/Thr) of mucin glycoproteins and synthetic p-nitrophenyl (pNP) alpha-linked substrates. Here, we report the enzymatic syntheses of core 1 disaccharide-containing glycopeptides using the transglycosylation activity of endo-alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (EngBF) from Bifidobacterium longum. The enzyme directly transferred Galbeta1-3GalNAc to serine or threonine residues of bioactive peptides such as PAMP-12, bradykinin, peptide-T and MUC1a when Galbeta1-3GalNAcalpha1-pNP was used as a donor substrate. The enzyme was also found to catalyze the reverse-hydrolysis reaction. EngBF synthesized the core 1 disaccharide-containing oligosaccharides when the enzyme was incubated with either glucose or lactose and Galbeta1-3GalNAc prepared from porcine gastric mucin using bifidobacterial cells expressing endo-alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase. Synthesized oligosaccharides are promising prebiotics for bifidobacteria.

Pseudonocardia autotrophica was previously identified to produce a toxicity-reduced and solubility-improved disaccharide-containing anti-fungal compound belonging to the tetraene-family, Nystatin-like Pseudonocardia Polyene A1 (NPP A1). Subsequently NPP B1, a novel derivative harboring a heptaene core structure, was produced by a pathway-engineered Pseudonocardia strain through inactivation of the specific enoly reductase gene domain in the NPP biosynthetic gene cluster. Although in vitro and in vivo efficacy and toxicity studies indicate that NPP B1 is a promising lead antifungal compound, further improvement is required to increase the extremely low production yield in the pathway-engineered strain.

Polyene macrolides such as nystatin A1 and amphotericin B belong to a large family of very valuable antifungal polyketide compounds typically produced by soil actinomycetes. Recently, nystatin-like Pseudonocardia polyene (NPP) A1 has been identified as a unique disaccharide-containing tetraene antifungal macrolide produced by Pseudonocardia autotrophica. Despite its significantly increased water solubility and decreased hemolytic activity, its antifungal activity remains limited compared with that of nystatin A1.

The major structural component of the cell wall in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, infection by which causes tuberculosis, is the mycolyl-arabinogalactan (mAG) complex. This large glycoconjugates has at its core a backbone of approximately 30 D-galactofuranose (Gal(f)) residues that are linked to peptidoglycan by way of a linker disaccharide containing L-rhamnose and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose. Recent studies have supported a model of galactan biosynthesis in which the entire structure is assembled by the action of two bifunctional galactofuranosyltransferases.

T cell hybridomas were raised against the glycopeptide S(72) (Core-1) containing the tumor-associated disaccharide betaGal (1-3) alphaGalNAc (Core-1) O-linked to serine at position 72 in the mouse hemoglobin derived decapeptide Hb (67-76). All hybridomas recognized the glycopeptide S(72) (Core-1). Two of the selected hybridomas responded, however, much better to the S(72) (Tn) glycopeptide containing the monosaccharide alphaGalNAc O-linked to serine.
