Chondroitin sulfate-E (chondroitin-4, 6-disulfate) was prepared from chondroitin sulfate-A (chondroitin-4 - sulfate) by regioselective sulfonation, performed using trimethylamine sulfur trioxide in formamide under argon. The structure of semi-synthetic chondroitin sulfate-E was analyzed by PAGE, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, 2D NMR and disaccharide analysis and compared with natural chondroitin sulfate-E. Both semi-synthetic and natural chondroitin sulfate-E were each biotinylated and immobilized on BIAcore SA biochips and their interactions with fibroblast growth factors displayed very similar binding kinetics and binding affinities. The current semi-synthesis offers an economical approach for the preparation of the rare chondroitin sulfate-E from the readily available chondroitin sulfate-A.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a green enzymatic method to produce chondroitin sulfate E (CSE) from chondroitin sulfate A (CSA), which helps avoid contamination issues linked with animal-derived products.
- They identified and engineered a sulfotransferase enzyme, CHST15, boosting its efficiency in converting CSA to CSE by 3.5 times.
- A six-enzyme whole-cell catalyst was created, achieving a 72.2% conversion of CSA to CSE within 24 hours, highlighting a sustainable approach for industrial CSE production.

Chondroitin sulfate E (CS-E) is a vital sulfated glycosaminoglycan with diverse biological functions and therapeutic potential. This study marks a significant milestone by achieving the first successful microbial production of chondroitin 4-sulfate 6-O-sulfotransferase (GalNAc4S-6ST) in Escherichia coli, enabling recombinant CS-E biosynthesis. Initially, we identified sulfotransferases capable of converting chondroitin sulfate A (CS-A) to CS-E, but these enzymes were non-functional when expressed in E.

Nerve tissue regeneration is a significant problem. After neural diseases and damage such as spinal cord injury (SCI), the accumulation of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPG) comprising axonal inhibitory glycosaminoglycan chains in the microenvironment is a major barrier that obstructs nerve repair. Interfering with the production of glycosaminoglycans, especially the critical inhibitory chains, could be a potential therapeutic strategy for SCI, which is, however, poorly defined.

Article Synopsis
- Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are polysaccharides on cell surfaces, playing key roles in growth factor signaling, with variations in their sulfation impacting function.
- The study focused on cochlins, proteins that bind sulfated GAGs, using a recombinant cochlin to identify specific binding to heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate E.
- By analyzing cochlin mutants, the research developed a GAG detection system, revealing that the N-terminal of cochlin is crucial for binding, which may advance understanding of disease mechanisms related to GAG modifications.

O-sulfated N-acetyl-d-galactosamine (GalNAc) residues in chondroitin sulfate (CS) play a crucial role in chondroitinase ABC I (cABC-I) activity. CSA containing mainly 4-O-monosulfated GalNAc was a good substrate for the enzyme, but not CSE containing mainly 4,6-O-disulfated GalNAc [GalNAc(4S,6S)]. Each CS isomer exhibits structural heterogeneity; CSE has di-sulfated disaccharide units and mono-sulfated disaccharide units.
