Two bacterial β1-4-galactosyltransferases, NmLgtB and Hp1-4GalT, exhibit promiscuous and complementary acceptor substrate specificity. They have been used in an efficient one-pot multienzyme system to synthesize LacNAc, lactose, and their derivatives including those containing negatively charged 6-O-sulfated GlcNAc and C2-substituted GlcNAc or Glc, from monosaccharide derivatives and inexpensive Glc-1-P.

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are the third largest macromolecular component of breast milk and offer infants numerous health benefits, most of which stem from the development of a healthy microbiome. Characterization, quantification, and chemical de

Glycoceramides can activate NKT cells by binding with CD1d to produce IFN-γ, IL-4, and other cytokines. An efficient synthetic pathway for α-galactosylceramide (KRN7000) was established by coupling a protected galactose donor to a properly protected ceramide. During the investigation, it was discovered that when the ceramide was protected with benzyl groups, only β-galactosylceramide was produced from the glycosylation reaction. In contrast, the ceramide with benzoyl protecting groups produced α-galactosylceramide. Isoglobotrihexosylceramide (iGb3) was prepared by glycosylation of Galα1-3Galβ1-4Glc donor with 2-azido-sphingosine in high yield. Biological assays on the synthetic KRN7000 and iGb3 were performed using human and murine iNKT cell clones or hybridomas.
