Metabolic glycoengineering involves the stimulation of cells with functionalized monosaccharides. Glucosamine, galactosamine, and mannosamine derivatives are commercially available, but their application may lead to undirected (i.e., chemical) incorporation into proteins. However, sialic acids are attached to the ends of complex sugar chains of glycoproteins, which might be beneficial for cell surface modification via click chemistry. Thus, we studied the incorporation of chemically synthesized unnatural alkyne modified sialic acid (SiaNAl) into glycoproteins of human telomerase-immortalized mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC-TERT) and we show that SiaNAl can be efficiently incorporated in glycoproteins involved in signal transduction and cell junction.

Sialylation of cell surface glycans plays an essential role in cell-cell interaction and communication of cells with their microenvironment. Among the tools that have been developed for the study of sialylation in living cells, metabolic oligosaccharide engineering (MOE) exploits the biosynthetic pathway of sialic acid (Sia) to incorporate unnatural monosaccharides into nascent sialylatedglycoconjugates, followed by their detection by a bioorthogonal ligation of a molecular probe. Among bioorthogonal reactions, the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) is the only ligation where both reactive tags can be switched on the chemical reporter or on the probe, making this reaction very flexible and adaptable to various labeling strategies.

Natural and synthetically modified cytidine monophosphate activated sialic acids (CMP-Sias) are essential research assets in the field of glycobiology: among other applications, they can be used to probe glycans, detect sialylation defects at the cell surface or carry out detailed studies of sialyltransferase activities. However, these chemical tools are notoriously unstable because of hydrolytic decomposition, and are very time-consuming and costly to obtain. They are nigh impossible to store with satisfactory purity, and their preparation requires multiple laborious purification steps that usually lead to heavy product loss.

The visualization of Golgi glycosylation defects in patients' cells with Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG) is challenging and necessitates the use of cumbersome glycan analysis methods that are barely adapted to clinical research. We show here that metabolic labelling of patient cells with alkyne-tagged sialic-acid (SiaNAl) enables an easy and reliable readout assay for the detection of CDG occurrence. It also provides valuable clues regarding the pathological processes by assessing the distribution of sialic acid analogues within the cells.
