反応手順

UDP-galactosamine (UDP-GalN) is formed from UDP-Glc and galactosamine-1-phosphate by the action of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (E.C. 2.7.7.12; Sigma, USA). A typical synthesis protocol is described below. The reaction mixture contains 10 mM galactosamine-1-phosphate, 20 mM UDP-Glc, 5 U/ml of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase, 100 mM Na-HEPES pH 8.0, 5 mM MgCl2, and 5 mM β-mercaptoethanol. The reaction vessel is incubated at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere for 3 days, after which nucleotide sugars are isolated from the reaction mixture with a graphitised carbon column essentially as in (Mäki et al., 2002). The nucleotide sugar mixture, containing UDP-Glc and UDP-GalN, is incubated with a molar excess of sulfosuccinimidyl-6-(biotinamido)hexanoate (sulfo-NHS-LC-biotin; Pierce, USA) in 50 mM NH4HCO3 at room temperature for 2.5 hours. The product, UDP-GalN-biotin, uridine 5′-diphospho-N-(6-biotinamidohexanoyl)galactosamine, is purified by gel filtration and reversed phase HPLC.
