Figure 3. Chemical synthesis of mannopeptides derived from α-DG.

Figure 3

(a) SPPS using Fmoc-protected mannosyl serine (1a) and mannosyl threonine (1b) building blocks for the evaluation of enzyme substrates of POMGnT1. (b) Synthesized peptides corresponding to portions of the amino acid sequence of α-DG are highlighted (grey, no enzymatic activity observed; black, enzymatic activity observed). (c) The glycoforms of the mannopeptide synthesized are shown with the glycosylamino acids indicated with a superscript dot; those which acted as POMGnT1 acceptor substrates are shown with a tick, whereas those which did not function are shown with a cross.
