Abstract

Triantennary glycopeptide was oxidized with galactose oxidase to convert the -CH2OH group on terminal galactose residues to the aldehyde group (oxo-form). Kinetic profiling by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography allowed termination of the reaction when intermediate mono-oxo- and di-oxo-triantennary glycopeptides had been produced. The mixture of the oxo-glycopeptides was derivatized with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine for efficient separation, and each isomeric triantennary hydrazone was separated by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. The purified hydrazones were reverted to three original isomeric mono-oxo- and di-oxo-glycopeptides, and a single tri-oxo-glycopeptide. Each of these isomers was characterized by proton NMR by a downfield shift in the anomeric signals of 6-oxo-Gal residue(s). The functionalized glycopeptides were successively modified with dansyl and naphthyl groups through the 6-oxo-Gal residue and the amino terminus of the peptide to prepare three isomeric glycopeptide probes suitable for conformation studies by fluorescence energy transfer measurements. Alternatively, glycopeptides were derivatized by attaching t-butyloxycarbonyl-L-tyrosine to the amino terminus of the peptide, and reductive amination of the 6-oxo-Gal residue, provided three isomeric triantennary photoaffinity probes which allow photolyzable groups to be attached to the newly introduced 6-amino-Gal residue.
