Sugar-amino acid-nucleosides (SAAN) were synthesized to mimic glycosyl nucleotide donors based on the hypothesis that a basic amino acid may interact with carboxylate groups of the enzyme in a manner similar to the diphosphate metal ion complex. C-Glycoside analogues of the d-galactopyranose or l-arabinofuranose ring systems, and four amino acids (lysine, glutamine, tryptophan, and histidine), were chosen for this study. The targets were synthesized and tested against GlfT2, a galactofuranosyltransferase essential for cell wall galactan biosynthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The inhibition assay showed that analogues containing histidine and tryptophan are moderate inhibitors of GlfT2.

D016695 Glycosyltransferases Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of glycosyl groups to an acceptor. Most often another carbohydrate molecule acts as an acceptor, but inorganic phosphate can also act as an acceptor, such as in the case of PHOSPHORYLASES. Some of the enzymes in this group also catalyze hydrolysis, which can be regarded as transfer of a glycosyl group from the donor to water. Subclasses include the HEXOSYLTRANSFERASES; PENTOSYLTRANSFERASES; SIALYLTRANSFERASES; and those transferring other glycosyl groups. EC 2.4.
