Here, we report a practical sugar nucleotide production strategy that combined a high-concentrated multi-enzyme catalyzed reaction and a robust chromatography-free selective precipitation purification process. Twelve sugar nucleotides were synthesized on a gram scale with a purity up to 98%.

Uridine 5′-diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) is a natural UDP-monosaccharide donor for bacterial glycosyltransferases, while uridine 5′-diphosphate N-trifluoacetyl glucosamine (UDP-GlcNTFA) is its synthetic mimic. The chemoenzymatic synthesis of UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-GlcNTFA was attempted by three recombinant enzymes. Recombinant N-acetylhexosamine 1-kinase was used to produce GlcNAc/GlcNTFA-1-phosphate from GlcNAc/GlcNTFA. N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate uridyltransferase from Escherichia coli K12 MG1655 was used to produce UDP-GlcNAc/GlcNTFA from GlcNAc/GlcNTFA-1-phosphate. Inorganic pyrophosphatase from E. coli K12 MG1655 was used to hydrolyze pyrophosphate to accelerate the reaction. The above enzymes were expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) and purified, respectively, and finally mixed in one-pot bioreactor. The effects of reaction conditions on the production of UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-GlcNTFA were characterized. To avoid the substrate inhibition effect on the production of UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-GlcNTFA, the reaction was performed with fed batch of substrate. Under the optimized conditions, high production of UDP-GlcNAc (59.51 g/L) and UDP-GlcNTFA (46.54 g/L) were achieved in this three-enzyme one-pot system. The present work is promising to develop an efficient scalable process for the supply of UDP-monosaccharide donors for oligosaccharide synthesis.

Streptothricins (STNs) are atypical aminoglycosides containing a rare carbamoylated D-gulosamine (D-GulN) moiety, and the antimicrobial activity of STNs has been exploited for crop protection. Herein, the biosynthetic pathway of the carbamoylated D-GulN moiety was delineated. An N-acetyl-D-galactosamine is first attached to the streptolidine lactam by the glycosyltransferse StnG and then epimerized to N-acetyl-D-gulosamine by the putative epimerase StnJ. After carbamoylation by the carbamoyltransferase StnQ, N-acetyl-D-GulN is deacetylated by StnI to furnish the carbamoylated D-GulN moiety. In vitro studies characterized two novel enzymes: StnG is an unprecedented GT-A fold N-glycosyltransferase that glycosylates the imine nitrogen atom of guanidine, and StnI is the first reported N-acetyl-D-GulN deacetylase. The dynamic duo: Two novel enzymes, StnG and StnI, have been found to be involved in the biosynthetic pathway of the carbamoylated D-gulosamine moiety in streptothricins. StnG is a GT-A fold glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the unprecedented attachment of a sugar to the imine nitrogen atom of a guanidine group; StnI catalyzes the deacetylation of the N-acetyl-D-gulosamine moiety.
