Abstract

A sulfur-substituted analogue of trigalacturonic acid (3) was synthesized. The synthesis features the application of 3-cyano-3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxypropylthioether (CSP) as a novel protective group for thiols. This analogue was designed with the expectation that it would be a stable analogous substrate for endo-polygalacturonase isolated from Stereum purpureum based on computer modeling experiments. Surface plasmon resonance experiments revealed that 3 forms a stable complex with the target enzyme.

    In the course of our investigations on the detailed mechanism of endo-glycosidases, we focused on endo-polygalacturonase 1 (endo-PG 1), isolated from Stereum purpureum by one of the present authors, Miyairi,5 which led to a nice single crystal of the protein that gave an X-ray diffraction structure within 0.96 Å.6,7 Recently, we have synthesized a sulfur analogue of trigalacturonic acid (1, Fig. 1) as a mimetic substrate with tolerance against the enzymatic reaction.8 It was designed to make a complex with endo-PG 1 to provide information for designing higher functional artificial mutants.
