Biosynthesis of CMP-legionaminic acid from fructose-6-P, and respective pathway intermediates, using novel GDP-linked precursors
Abstract:
The sialic acid-like sugar legionaminic acid is found as a virulence-associated surface glyco-conjugate in Legionella pneumophila and Campylobacter coli. In this work, we have purified and biochemically characterized eleven candidate biosynthetic enzymes from C. jejuni, thereby fully reconstituting the biosynthesis of legionaminic acid and its CMP-activated form, starting from fructose-6-P. This pathway involves unique GDP-linked intermediates and provides a facile means for the efficient large-scale synthesis of an important sialic acid mimic and novel precursors.
