- W2045247004 abstract "The catalytic domain of bovine alpha1-->3-galactosyltransferase (alpha3GalT), residues 80-368, have been cloned and expressed, in Escherichia coli. Using a sequential purification protocol involving a Ni(2+) affinity column followed by a UDP-hexanolamine affinity column, we have obtained a pure and active protein from the soluble fraction which catalyzes the transfer of galactose (Gal) from UDP-Gal to N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) with a specific activity of 0.69 pmol/min/ng. The secondary structural content of alpha3GalT protein was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, which shows that the enzyme has about 35% beta-sheet and 22% alpha-helix. This predicted secondary structure content by FTIR spectroscopy was used in the protein sequence analysis algorithm, developed by the Biomolecular Engineering Research Center at Boston University and Tasc Inc., for the assignment of secondary structural elements to the amino acid sequence of alpha3GalT. The enzyme appears to have three major and three minor helices and five sheet-like structures. The studies on the acceptor substrate specificity of the enzyme, alpha3GalT, show that in addition to LacNAc, which is the natural substrate, the enzyme accepts various other disaccharides as substrates such as lactose and Gal derivatives, beta-O-methylgalactose and beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside, albeit with lower specific activities. There is an absolute requirement for Gal to be at the non-reducing end of the acceptor molecule which has to be beta1-->4-linked to a second residue that can be more diverse in structure. The kinetic parameters for four acceptor molecules were determined. Lactose binds and functions in a similar way as LacNAc. However, beta-O-methylgalactose and Gal do not bind as tightly as LacNAc or lactose, as their K(ia) and K(A) values indicate, suggesting that the second monosaccharide is critical for holding the acceptor molecule in place. The 2' and 4' hydroxyl groups of the receiving Gal moiety are important in binding. Even though there is large structural variability associated with the second residue of the acceptor molecule, there are constraints which do not allow certain Gal-R sugars to be good acceptors for the enzyme. The beta1-->4-linked residue at the second position of the acceptor molecule is preferred, but the interactions between the enzyme and the second residue are likely to be non-specific." @default.
