Preparative synthesis of dTDP‐ L ‐rhamnose through combined enzymatic pathways

Preparative synthesis of dTDP‐ L ‐rhamnose through combined enzymatic pathways dTDP‐L‐rhamnose, an important precursor of O‐antigen, was prepared on a large scale from dTMP by executing an one‐pot reaction in which six enzymes are involved. Two enzymes, dTDP‐4‐keto‐6‐deoxy‐D‐glucose 3,5‐epimerase and dTDP‐4‐keto‐rhamnose reductase, responsible for the conversion of dTDP‐4‐keto‐6‐deoxy‐D‐glucose to dTDP‐L‐rhamnose, were isolated from their putative sequences in the genome of Mesorhizobium loti, functionally expressed in Escherichia coli, and their enzymatic activities were identified. The two enzymes were combined with an enzymatic process for dTDP‐4‐keto‐6‐deoxy‐D‐glucose involving TMP kinase, acetate kinase, dTDP‐glucose synthase, and dTDP‐glucose 4,6‐dehydratase, which allowed us to achieve a preparative scale synthesis of dTDP‐L‐rhamnose using dTMP and glucose‐1‐phosphate as starting materials. About 82% yield of dTDP‐L‐rhamnose was obtained based on initial dTMP concentration at 20 mM dTMP, 1 mM ATP, 10 mM NADH, 60 mM acetyl phosphate, and 80 mM glucose‐1‐phosphate. From the reaction with 20 ml volume, approximately 180 mg of dTDP‐L‐rhamnose was obtained in an overall yield of 60% after two‐step purification, that is, anion exchange chromatography and gel filtration for desalting. The purified product was identified by HPLC, ESI‐MS, and NMR, showing about 95% purity. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Biotechnology and Bioengineering Wiley

Abstract

dTDP‐L‐rhamnose, an important precursor of O‐antigen, was prepared on a large scale from dTMP by executing an one‐pot reaction in which six enzymes are involved. Two enzymes, dTDP‐4‐keto‐6‐deoxy‐D‐glucose 3,5‐epimerase and dTDP‐4‐keto‐rhamnose reductase, responsible for the conversion of dTDP‐4‐keto‐6‐deoxy‐D‐glucose to dTDP‐L‐rhamnose, were isolated from their putative sequences in the genome of Mesorhizobium loti, functionally expressed in Escherichia coli, and their enzymatic activities were identified. The two enzymes were combined with an enzymatic process for dTDP‐4‐keto‐6‐deoxy‐D‐glucose involving TMP kinase, acetate kinase, dTDP‐glucose synthase, and dTDP‐glucose 4,6‐dehydratase, which allowed us to achieve a preparative scale synthesis of dTDP‐L‐rhamnose using dTMP and glucose‐1‐phosphate as starting materials. About 82% yield of dTDP‐L‐rhamnose was obtained based on initial dTMP concentration at 20 mM dTMP, 1 mM ATP, 10 mM NADH, 60 mM acetyl phosphate, and 80 mM glucose‐1‐phosphate.
