994 results about "Asparagine" patented technology

Asparagine (symbol Asn or N), is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated −NH⁺₃ form under biological conditions), an α-carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated −COO⁻ form under biological conditions), and a side chain carboxamide, classifying it as a polar (at physiological pH), aliphatic amino acid. It is non-essential in humans, meaning the body can synthesize it. It is encoded by the codons AAU and AAC.

Glycoconjugation of polypeptides using oligosaccharyltransferases

InactiveUS20100286067A1HydrolasesPeptide/protein ingredientsSialic acidBacillosamine
The current invention provides polypeptides and polypeptide conjugates that include an exogenous N-linked glycosylation sequence. The N-linked glycosylation sequence is preferably a substrate for an oligosaccharyltransferase (e.g., bacterial PgIB), which can catalyze the transfer of a glycosyl moiety from a lipid-bound glycosyl donor molecule (e.g., a lipid-pyrophosphate-linked glycosyl moiety) to an asparagine (N) residue of the glycosylation sequence. In one example, the asparagine residue is part of an exogenous N-linked glycosylation sequence of the invention. The invention further provides methods of making the polypeptide conjugates that include contacting a polypeptide having an N-linked glycosylation sequence of the invention and a lipid-pyrophosphate-linked glycosyl moiety (or phospholipid-linked glycosyl moiety) in the presence of an oligosaccharyltransferase under conditions sufficient for the enzyme to transfer the glycosyl moiety to an asparagine residue of the N-linked glycosylation sequence. Exemplary glycosyl moieties that can be conjugated to the glycosylation sequence include GlcNAc, GlcNH, bacillosamine, 6-hydroybacillosamine, GalNAc, GaINH, GlcNAc-GlcNAc, GlcNAc-GlcNH, GlcNAc-Gal, GlcNAc-GlcNAc-Gal-Sia, GlcNAc-Gal-Sia, GlcNAc-GlcNAc-Man, and GlcNAc-GlcNAc-Man(Man)2. The transferred glycosyl moiety is optionally modified with a modifying group, such as a polymer (e.g., PEG). In one example, the modified glycosyl moiety is a GIcNAc or a sialic acid moiety.
