N-Acetylneuraminic acid aldolase NEUA

Synthetic studies for sialic acid and its modifications have extensively used the catabolic enzyme N-acetylneuraminic acid aldolase (NeuA E.C. 4.1.3.3), which catalyzes the reversible addition of pyruvate (70) to N-acetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNAc, 11) to form the parent sialic acid N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuSNAc, 12 Scheme 2.2.5.23) [1, 2, 45]. In contrast, the N-acetylneuraminic acid synthase (NeuS E.C. 4.1.3.19) has practically been ignored, although it holds considerable synthetic potential in that the enzyme utilizes phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP, 71) as a preformed enol nucleophile from which release of inorganic phosphate during... [Pg.370]

In a related protocol, the acetaldehyde trimer 54 from the generic RibA oligomerization was found to be a substrate for the N-acetylneuraminic acid aldolase (NeuA EC 4.1.3.3) which catalyzed the addition of pyruvate. By this means, a tetradeoxy-L-arahi o-2-nonulosonic acid 56 was obtained in 55% yield [116]. A one-pot, tandem operation was complicated by the fact that temperature requirements for optimum activity and stability of the two catalysts were not compatible. [Pg.110]

N-Acetylneuraminic acid aldolase (or sialic acid aldolase, NeuA EC 4.1.3.3) catalyzes the reversible addition of pyruvate (2) to N-acetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNAc (1)) in the degradation of the parent sialic acid (3) (Figure 10.4). The NeuA lyases found in both bacteria and animals are type I enzymes that form a Schiff base/enamine intermediate with pyruvate and promote a si-face attack to the aldehyde carbonyl group with formation of a (4S) configured stereocenter. The enzyme is commercially available and it has a broad pH optimum around 7.5 and useful stability in solution at ambient temperature [36]. [Pg.278]
