Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a dual-antenna type sialic acid polysaccharide, its synthesis method and application, belonging to the fields of glycoengineering and biomedicine. Background Technology

[0002] Glycosylation is a crucial post-translational modification of proteins, significantly impacting their stability, spatial folding, and biological function. Many pharmaceutical proteins, such as the monoclonal antibody IgG and erythropoietin (EPO), rely on structurally complex N-glycosylation modifications, particularly the sialic acid residues at the glycan terminals, for their biological activity. Currently, these proteins are primarily expressed in mammalian cells (such as CHO cells), but high culture medium costs, complex processes, and long production cycles limit their widespread application.

[0003] Pichia pastoris and Saccharomyces cerevisiae are commonly used heterologous protein expression systems, offering advantages in high efficiency and low cost for large-scale recombinant protein production. However, the N-glycans synthesized by these yeast systems are typically high-mannose, lacking mammalian-specific glycosylation modifications, leading to reduced activity or insufficient stability of the target protein. Although some studies have focused on glycosylation engineering of Pichia pastoris to achieve humanized glycosylation synthesis, technical bottlenecks remain, such as low efficiency and incomplete structure, in introducing terminal sialic acid. Furthermore, extracting complex N-glycans containing sialic acid from natural products (such as egg yolks) and then linking them to target proteins via chemical or enzymatic methods is another feasible glycosylation modification strategy. However, naturally derived glycans have heterogeneous structures, low sialylation levels, complex extraction processes, and limited yields, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale pharmaceutical protein production.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a novel biomimetic dual-antenna sialylated N-glycan synthesis strategy. This method uses readily scalable sialylated lactose as a raw material, constructs a trifunctional linker through lysine activation, and achieves efficient conjugation with drug proteins using bifunctional PEG. This synthetic route is simple to operate, operates under mild reaction conditions, and is cost-effective. Experimental results show that IgG and lactoferrin modified with this biomimetic sialylated N-glycan exhibit significantly enhanced bioactivity and function, demonstrating promising application potential.
