Antifungal and Anti-Cariogenic Cellobio-Oligosaccharides Produced by Dextransucrase

Cellobio-oligosaccharides (CBO) produced by the dextransucrase-catalyzed transglycosylation reaction of sucrose and cellobiose were discovered to be effective as antifungal agents against dental caries and against fungi who rely on glucan as an integral part of the cell wall, e.g., A. terreus. The cellobio-oligosaccharides were found to be inhibitors of β-(1,3)-glucan synthase, an important enzyme involving in fungal cell wall component synthesis. The CBO caused structural changes in the growing fungal cells. In addition, the CBO were shown to be effective as anti-cariogenic agents in preventing bacterial adherence to teeth by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial plaque (glucans), e.g., that formed by Streptococcus mutans. Cellobio-oligosaccharides produced by dextransucrase were analyzed and shown to have a degree of polymerization (DP) ranging from 3 to 6 glucosyl groups. Examples of these cellobio-oligosaccharides produced by this method include, but are not limited to, trisaccharides such as α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucopyranose and α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucopyranose.

Method for measuring activity of beta-glucan synthase

The invention discloses a method for measuring the activity of beta-glucan synthase. The method disclosed by the invention has the advantage that the activity of the beta-glucan synthase is determined by detecting the amount of glucan consumed by synthesizing the beta-glucan synthase into beta-glucan with the glucan as an enzymatic reaction substrate and 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid as a color developing agent under visible light. Compared with a traditional method for measuring the activity of the beta-glucan synthase by measuring the change of radioactive activity of UDP (Uridine Diphosphate)-[14C] glucan through a liquid scintillation counting instrument by using the UDP-[14C] glucan as a substrate, and the experiment cost is greatly reduced. In addition, no radioactive glucan is used as the substrate in the method, thus the safety of the experiment is high. The method has the advantages of high sensitivity, simpleness and safety in operation, convenience, quickness and convenience for large-scale popularization and application.
