We have established a unique enzymatic approach for obtaining sulfated disaccharides using Bacillus circulans β-D-galactosidase-catalyzed 6-sulfo galactosylation. When 4-methyl umbelliferyl 6-sulfo β-D-galactopyranoside (S6Galβ-4MU) was used as a donor, the enzyme induced transfer of 6-sulfo galactosyl residue to GlcNAc acceptor. As a result, the desired compound 6'-sulfo N-acetyllactosamine (S6Galβ1-4GlcNAc) and its positional isomer 6'-sulfo N-acetylisolactosamine (S6Galβ1-6GlcNAc) were observed by HPAEC-PAD, in 49% total yield based on the donor added, and in a molar ratio of 1 : 3.5. With a glucose acceptor, the regioselectivity was substantially changed and S6Galβ1-2Glc was mainly produced along with β-(1-1)α, β(1-3), β-(1-6) isomers in 74% total yield. When methyl α-D-glucopyranoside (Glcα-OMe) was an acceptor, the enzyme also formed mainly S6Galβ1-2Glcα-OMe with its β-(1-6)-linked isomer in 41% total yield based on the donor added. In both cases, it led to the predominant formation of β(1-2)-linked disaccharides. In contrast, with the corresponding methyl β-D-glucopyranoside (Glcβ-OMe) acceptor, S6Galβ1-3Glcβ-OMe and S6Galβ1-6Glcβ-OMe were formed in a low total yield of 12%. These results indicate that the regioselectivity and efficiency on the β-D-galactosidase-mediated transfer reaction significantly depend on the anomeric configuration in the glucosyl acceptors.
