| Abstract | Terminal sialic acid residues often mediate the interactions of cell surface glycoconjugates. Sialic acid-dependent interactions typically exhibit rapid dissociation rates, precluding the use of traditional biological techniques for complex isolation. To stabilize these transient interactions, we employ a targeted photocrosslinking approach in which a diazirine photocrosslinker is incorporated into cell surface sialylated glycoconjugates through the use of metabolic oligosaccharide engineering. We describe three diazirine-modified N-acetylmannosamine (ManNAc) analogs in which the length of the linker between the pyranose ring and the diazirine was varied. These analogs were each metabolized to their respective sialic acid counterparts, which were added to both glycoproteins and glycolipids. Diazirine-modified sialic acid analogs could be incorporated into both α2–3 and α2–6 linkages. Upon exposure to UV irradiation, diazirine-modified glycoconjugates were covalently crosslinked to their interaction partners. We demonstrate that all three diazirine-modified analogs were capable of competing with endogeneous sialic acid, albeit to varying degrees. We found that larger analogs were less efficiently metabolized, yet could still function as effective crosslinkers. Notably, the addition of the diazirine substituent interferes with metabolism of ManNAc analogs to glycans other than sialosides, providing fidelity to selectively incorporate the crosslinker into sialylated molecules. These compounds are non-toxic and display only minimal growth inhibition at the concentrations required for crosslinking studies. This report provides essential information for the deployment of photocrosslinking analogs to capture and study ephemeral, yet essential, sialic acid-mediated interactions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
