Enzymatic synthesis of 3-O-α-maltosyl-l-ascorbate using an engineered cyclodextrin glucanotransferase
2015
Abstract A mutant derived from a cyclodextrin glucantransferase with an alanine residue as its acid/base catalyst residue (CGT-E284A) catalyzed regioselective glycosylation at 3-OH of l -ascorbic acid using α-maltosyl fluoride (αG2F) and l -ascorbic acid as the donor and acceptor, respectively, yielding 3- O -α-maltosyl- l -ascorbate (AA3αG2). The optimum conditions were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis with 20 mM αG2F and 40 mM l -ascorbic acid as the substrates at pH 7.5 and 25 °C with 1 mg/ml of the enzyme for 24 h. Calcium ions bound in CGT-E284A played an important role in the transglycosylation. CGT-E284A exhibited typical saturation kinetic behaviour for αG2F at a fixed acceptor concentration (40 mM), and substrate inhibition by l -ascorbic acid was observed at high l -ascorbic acid concentrations (>60 mM). AA3αG2 was isolated from a preparative scale reaction with a yield of 29%, and it showed extremely high stability under oxidative conditions.
