We confirmed that a recombinant α-(2→3)-sialyltransferase cloned from Photobacterium sp. JT-ISH-224 recognizes inositols having a structure corresponding to the C-3 and C-4 of a galactopyranoside moiety, such as epi-, 1d-chiro, myo-, and muco-inositol, as acceptor substrates, and that the enzyme can transfer N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) from cytidine 5'-monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac) to them. After purifying the reaction products, the structures were confirmed by use of NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. From these results, it was clearly shown that the α-(2→3)-sialyltransferase from Photobacterium sp. JT-ISH-224 recognizes acceptor substrates through the cis-diol structure corresponding to the 3- and 4-position of the galactopyranoside moiety.

Herein, we describe the efficient gram-scale synthesis of α2,3- and α2,6-sialyllactose oligosaccharides as well as mimetics from N-acyl mannosamines and lactose in metabolically engineered bacterial cells grown at high cell density. We designed new Escherichia coli strains co-expressing sialic acid synthase and N-acylneuraminate cytidylyltransferase from Campylobacter jejuni together with the α2,3-sialyltransferase from Neisseria meningitidis or the α2,6-sialyltransferase from Photobacterium sp. JT-ISH-224.

Terminal α-2,6-sialylation of N-glycans is a humanized glycosylation that affects the properties and efficacy of therapeutic glycoproteins. Fc di-sialylation (a biantennary N-glycan with two α-2,6-linked sialic acids) of IgG antibodies imparts them with enhanced anti-inflammatory activity and other roles. However, the microheterogeneity of N-glycoforms presents a challenge for therapeutic development.

In order to improve the catalytic efficiency of recombinant Photobacterium sp. JT-ISH-224 α2-6-sialyltransferase Psp2,6ST(15-501)-His6 in sialylating α-GalNAc-containing acceptors for the synthesis of tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens sialyl Tn (STn), protein crystal structure-based mutagenesis studies were carried out. Among several mutants obtained by altering the residues close to the acceptor substrate binding pocket, mutant A366G was shown to improve the sialyltransferase activity of Psp2,6ST(15-501)-His6 toward α-GalNAc-containing acceptors by 21-115% without significantly affecting its sialylation activity to β-galactosides.
