Altering the glycosylation pattern of bioactive compounds

Open access
Méndez, Carmen, Salas, José A·2001·Trends in Biotechnology

Abstract

Many bioactive natural products are glycosylated compounds in which the sugars are important or essential for biological activity. The isolation of several sugar biosynthesis gene clusters and glycosyltransferases from different antibiotic-producing organisms, and the increasing knowledge about these biosynthetic pathways opens up the possibility of generating novel bioactive compounds through combinatorial biosynthesis in the near future. Recent advances in this area indicate that antibiotic glycosyltransferases show some substrate flexibility that might allow us to alter the types of sugar transferred to the different aglycons or, less frequently, to change the position of its attachment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
