Sialyltrisaccharides based on β-galactosyldisaccharides were synthesized using β-galactosidase andtrans-sialidase in one pot. Using β-galactosidase fromBacillus circulans andtrans-sialidase fromTrypanosoma cruzi simultaneously, 6 mM sialyltrisaccharides composed of about 95% NeuAcα(2,3)Galβ(1,4)GlcNAc and 5% NeuAcα(2,3)Galβ(1,6)GlcNAc were produced from a reaction mixture containing 25 mM 0-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside, 100 mM N-acety lglucosamine and 10 mM p-nitrophenyl-α-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid. One beauty of this reaction was that a secondary hydrolysis of the disaccharide intermediate occurring between the activated galactopyranoside and N-acetylglucosamine was prevented. Using β-galactosidase fromEscherichia coli and the sametrans-sialidase, 15 mM sialyltrisaccharides composed of about 90% NeuAcα(2,3)Galβ(1,6)GlcNAc and 10% NeuAcα(2,3)Galβ (1,4)GlcNAc were produced from a reaction mixture containing 400 mM galactose, 800 mM N-acetylglucosamine and 20 mMp-nitrophenyl-α-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid. In this study, the reverse-galactosylation reaction between galactose and N-acetylglucosamine was dominant since the disaccharide intermediate mainly resulted in the sialylated product.
