New fungal fucosidases and their synthetic potential
Glozlová, Michaela ; Beránek, Martin (advisor) ; Matoušková, Petra (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biochemical Sciences Candidate: Bc. Michaela Glozlová Supervisor: prof. PharmDr. Martin Beránek, Ph.D. Consultants: doc. RNDr. Pavla Bojarová, Ph.D., Mgr. Pavlína Nekvasilová Title of diploma thesis: New fungal fucosidases and their synthetic potential The literary research focuses on α-L-fucosidases, their occurrence, functions, and use in the synthesis of fucosylated compounds, which were also a part of the research, particularly their presence in the human body and involvement in pathological conditions. Furthermore, it explores the oligosaccharides found in human milk, their impact on infant health, and their synthesis, which can be facilitated through the use of α-L-fucosidases. The experimental section involves the analysis of a library of filamentous fungi with the aim of identifying a representative strain with α-L-fucosidase activity towards pNP-α-L-fucoside. Recombinant α-L-fucosidases were selected based on searches in genetic databases and prepared. The feasibility of their production in Pichia pastoris and Escherichia coli was tested, and the produced enzymes were purified by ion exchange chromatography, characterized and their regioselectivity and synthetic potential for the synthesis of fucosylated...

Enzymatic fucosylation of oligosaccharides
Horáčková, Karolína ; Bojarová, Pavla (advisor) ; Moserová, Michaela (referee)
Fucosylated oligosaccharides occur naturally in the mammalian body, for example in the form of blood group antigens or human milk oligosaccharides. Human milk oligosaccharides act as inhibitors of pathogen binding to infantile gastrointestinal epithelial cells, thereby preventing diarrheal diseases. The most abundant human milk oligosaccharides are 2' fucosylgalactose and 2' fucosyllactose using mutant α α 2' Key words carbohydrate; enzymatic synthesis; fucosidase; fucosylation; human milk
