Glycosyltransferases are essential tools for in vitro glycoengineering. Bacteria harbor an unexplored variety of protein glycosyltransferases. Here, we describe a peptide glycosyltransferase (EntS) encoded by ORF0417 of Enterococcus faecalis TX0104. EntS di-glycosylates linear peptide of enterocin 96 - a known antibacterial, in vitro. It is capable of transferring as well as extending the glycan onto the peptide in an iterative sequential dissociative manner. It can catalyze multiple linkages: Glc/Gal(-O)Ser/Thr, Glc/Gal(-S)Cys and Glc/Gal(β)Glc/Gal(-O/S)Ser/Thr/Cys, in one pot. Using EntS generated glycovariants of enterocin 96 peptide, size and identity of the glycan are found to influence bioactivity of the peptide. The study identifies EntS as an enzyme worth pursuing, for in vitro peptide glycoengineering.

Article Synopsis
- Glycosylated bacteriocins, also known as glycocins, show promise as natural food preservatives and alternatives to antibiotics, but researchers need effective methods for their laboratory evolution.
- A new high-throughput screening method called SELECT-GLYCOCIN was developed, which utilizes an enzyme from Enterococcus faecalis to create and test libraries of modified glycocins against food-borne pathogens.
- Through this method, a diverse range of mutant glycocins was generated and screened, leading to the identification of several potential antimicrobial variants that could be useful in food preservation and drug development.

Adenosine is a candidate modulator of sperm motility in the female reproductive tract that increases sperm flagellar beat frequency in vitro. Past work suggested that this acceleration may involve equilibrative (ENT) and concentrative (CNT) nucleoside transporters. Here we show that Slc29a1 (ENT-1) is the predominant nucleoside transporter expressed in the mouse testis.
