| Abstract: | The chemical synthesis of the bacterial O-antigen from Salmonella serogroup E-1, 3-O-(4-O-beta-D-mannopyranosyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-alpha-D-gaIactose, presents a particular challenge because it contains a beta-(1 --> 4) mannosidic linkage to L-rhamnose. We report a chemoenzymatic synthesis of this crucial antigenic material which culminates in the enzymatic formation of the critical beta-mannosyl connection catalyzed by Salmonella GDP-alpha-D-Man:alpha Rha1 --> 3 alpha Gal-PP-Und beta-(1 --> 4)-mannosyltransferase (ManT(beta 4)). In comparison with previous synthetic routes, this method is advantageous since it utilizes intermediates, available in significant yield, which can be readily derivatized from the reducing end to present flexibility for analog construction, while the enzymatic construction of the Man1 --> 4Rha glycosidic bond is both rapid and occurs in high yield. Furthermore, the reported spectroscopic and enzymatic structural characterization of the trisaccharide product furnishes the first indisputable functional link between wbaO and ManT(84) and clearly sets the stage for the future mechanistic study and exploitation of this fascinating glycocatalyst.
