New Microbial Glycosidases
Charvátová, Andrea ; Křen, Vladimír (vedoucí práce) ; Králová, Blanka (oponent) ; Walterová, Daniela (oponent)
Sunrvranv Glycosidases from fungi are useful in the preparation of various glycosides mainly by transglycosylation or reversed glycosylation. The lack ofany requirement for protection- deprotection sequences, mild conditions and easier synthesis of thermodynamically not preferred glycosidic bonds are the main advantages of glycosidase-catalysed synthesis of glycosides. In ttris thesis we concentratedon exoglycosidases,mainly B.N.aceýlhexosaminidases, cr-galactosidases and cr-L-rhamnosidases. For the enzyme preparation taxonomically characterised fungal strains from public collections were used. A library comprising more than 200 various glycosidases was developed by modification ofcultivation conditions and by the use ofspecific inducers. The enrymes were used for screening ofsubstrate specificity and stability in organic solvents and subsequently for synthesis and modification of various substrates. Both B-N-acetylgalactosaminidase and B-N-acetylglucosaminidase activities in the series of B-N-acetylhexosaminidases were determined. Saccharides with strong immunomodulation activity $-o-GalpNAc-(i-+4)-o-GlcpNAc and B-o-GalpNAc-(1-+6)-o-GlcpNAc were synthesisedby transglycosylation using B-N-acetylhexosaminidase from Penicillium oxalicum CCF 2430' enryme having the highest B.N-acetylgalactosaminidase activiý....

Bojarová, Pavla ; Křen, Vladimír (vedoucí práce) ; Moravcová, Jitka (oponent) ; Walterová, Daniela (oponent)
4 Conclrrsion 4 CoNcrusroN This Ph. D. thesis is a systematic study of the substrate specificity and the synthetic potential of B-N-acetylhexosaminidases (EC 3.2.1.52) with structurally modified substrates. It comprises four publications in intemational journals, one review and 17 oral and poster contributions. The following parts of the substrate molecule were modified: 2-acetamido moiety, the C-6 hydroxyl (oxidations, introduction of a cyano group) and the aglycon part (glycosyl azides - C-N bond hydrolysis). Thirteen modified substrates were synthesized, seven of them were described for the first time. They were tested for hydrolysis and transglycosylation by over thirty fungal $-N-acetylhexosaminidases (culture collections at Charles University and at the Institute of Microbiology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic) and the results were discussed in relation to the conclusions of molecular modeling (B-N-acetylhexosaminidase from Aspergillus oryzae CCF 1066). Eight oligosaccharidic structures (six of them novel) were prepared by semi- preparative transglycosylation reactions (tens of miligrams), isolated (mostly 16_377a yields, even 787o yie\ď) and fully characterized. Noteworthy properties like immunoactivity (binding to natural killer cell activation receptors) and inhibitory potential were...
