A new method is presented for synthesizing arbutin glycosides using α-glucosidase (AglA) from Thermoplasma acidophilum and its glycosynthase mutant. An α-glycosynthase was constructed by substituting the catalytic nucleophile with the non-nucleophile glycine. Enzyme activity was then recovered using an external nucleophile. The transglycosylation reaction of AglA using maltose as a donor and arbutin as an acceptor produced arbutin coupled with a glucose moiety. The products were isolated and further analysed using preparative recycling HPLC. Arbutin glycosides linked to C-3, C-4, and C-6 were identified using NMR. The transglycosylation products of AglA were used as substrates for the enzyme reaction, which were hydrolyzed back again and reduced final yields. The glycosynthase mutant produced one main arbutin glycoside linked to C-4 with a yield of 38 % without further observed hydrolysis.

Chitooligosaccharides (COSs) are b-1,4-linked homo-oligosaccharides of -acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) or glucosamine (GlcN), and also include hetero-oligosaccharides composed of GlcNAc and GlcN. These sugars are of practical importance because of their various biological activities, such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antitumor activities, as well as triggering the innate immunity in plants. The reported data on bioactivities of COSs used to contain some uncertainties or contradictions, because the experiments were conducted with poorly characterized COS mixtures.

Engineering glycoside hydrolases is a major route to obtaining catalysts forming glycosidic bonds. Glycosynthases, thioglycoligases, and transglycosylases represent the main strategies, each having advantages and drawbacks. Here, we show that an engineered enzyme from the GH84 family, the acid-base mutant OGA-D120N, is an efficient -, -, and -glycoligase, able to use , , , and nucleophiles.

The development of a procedure for the one-pot synthesis of glycosyl benzoates directly from unprotected sugars in aqueous media using 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolium chloride (DMC), thiobenzoic acid, and triethylamine is reported. These glycosyl donors are excellent substrates for wild-type and mutant glycosidases. β-Glucosyl benzoate was hydrolysed by the GH1 β-glucosidase derived from (GH1).

Chitin and peptidoglycan fragments are well recognized as pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Long-chain oligosaccharides of β(1→4)-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) units indeed activate plants and mammals innate immune system. However, the mechanisms underlying PAMPs perception by lysine motif (LysM) domain receptors remain largely unknown because of insufficient availability of high-affinity molecular probes.
