Popis: | A wide range of glycoproteins can be recombinantly expressed in aglycosylated forms in bacterial and cell-free production systems. To investigate the effect of glycosylation of these proteins on receptor binding, stability, efficacy as drugs, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, an efficient glycosylation platform is required. Here, we present a cell-free synthetic platform for the in vitro N-glycosylation of peptides mimicking the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) glycosylation machinery of eukaryotes. The one-pot, two compartment multi-enzyme cascade consisting of eight recombinant enzymes including the three Leloir glycosyltransferases, Alg1, Alg2 and Alg11, expressed in E. coli and S. cerevisiae, respectively, has been engineered to produce the core lipid-linked (LL) oligosaccharide mannopentaose-di-(N-acetylglucosamine) (LL-Man5). Pythanol (C20H42O), a readily available alcohol consisting of regular isoprenoid units, was utilized as the lipid anchor. As part of the cascade, GDP-mannose was de novo produced from the inexpensive substrates ADP, polyphosphate and mannose. To prevent enzyme inhibition, the nucleotide sugar cascade and the glycosyltransferase were segregated into two compartments by a cellulose ester membrane with 3.5 kDa cut-off allowing for the effective diffusion of GDP-mannose across compartments. Finally, as a proof-of-principle, pythanyl-linked Man5 and the single-subunit oligosaccharyltransferase Trypanosoma brucei STT3A expressed in Sf9 insect cells were used to in vitro N-glycosylate a synthetic peptide of ten amino acids bearing the eukaryotic consensus motif N-X-S/T. |
