PG - 78-86 LID - S0008-6215(17)30019-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.carres.2017.04.003 [doi] AB - Glycosyltransferases (GTs) catalyze the formation of regio- and stereospecific glycosidic linkages between specific sugar donors and recipients. In this study, the function of the wfcD gene from the Escherichia coli O141 O-antigen gene cluster encoding an alpha-1,3-mannosyltransferase that catalyzed the formation of the linkage Man(alpha1-3)-GlcNAc was biochemically characterized. WfcD was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3), and the enzymatic product was identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), collision-induced dissociation electrospray ionization ion trap multiple tandem MS (CID-ESI-IT-MS(n)) and glycosidase digestion using the donor substrate GDP-Man and the synthetic acceptor substrate decyl diphosphate 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranose (GlcNAc-PP-De). The kinetic and physiochemical properties and the substrate specificity of WfcD were investigated. WfcD is the first characterized bacterial mannosyltransferase that acts on the Man(alpha1-3)-GlcNAc linkage. This study enhances our knowledge of the diverse functions of GTs.
