β1 4 galactosyltransferase
β1-4 galactosyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to N-acetylglucosamine, forming the disaccharide N-acetyllactosamine. This enzyme plays a key role in the biosynthesis of complex carbohydrates, such as glycoproteins and glycolipids, which are important for various biological processes.

Example 9
10-deacetyl-xylosyltaxol (Xyl-taxol) was subjected to galactosylation using bovine milk β-1,4-Galactosyltransferase (Sigma). 2 mM Xyl-taxol (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 65,34% pure), 40 mM UDP-Gal, 2 mU/μl β-1,4-Galactosyltransferase, 0.22 mM α-lactalbumin and 20 mM MnCl2 in 50 mM MOPS pH 7.2 were incubated in the presence of 5%, 10% or 20% DMSO o/we at +37° C. MALDI-TOF MS analysis of all three reaction mixtures after o/we reactions revealed major signal at m/z 1128 corresponding to β-1,4-galactosylated Xyl-taxol (Gal-Xyl-taxol). The reaction mixtures were purified with Bond Elut C18 cartridge (Varian). Reaction products retained in the cartridge were eluted with 60% aqueous acetonitrile. The Gal-Xyl-taxol product was isolated by HPLC using Gemini 5 μm NX-C18 reversed-phase column (4.6×250 mm (Phenomenex)) eluted with ACN gradient in aqueous ammonium acetate.
The Gal-Xyl-taxol is 9-azido-sialylated by incubation with CMP-9-N3-sialic acid and P. damsela alpha2,6-sialyltransferase in 0.1 M Tris-HCl, pH 7.5. The 9-azido-sialylated product (Scheme 11) is purified by HPLC on Gemini 5 μm NX-C18 reversed phase column (4.6×250 mm, 110 Å (Phenomenex)) eluted with ACN gradient in aqueous ammonium acetate. The corresponding sialyl derivative is prepared similarly by using CMP-sialic acid instead of CMP-9-N3-sialic acid in the reaction.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
