Abstract: The present invention provides for recombinant Endo-S2 mutants (named Endo-S2 glycosynthases) that exhibit reduced hydrolysis activity and increased transglycosylation activity for the synthesis of glycoproteins wherein a desired sugar chain is added to a fucosylated or nonfucosylated GlcNAc-IgG acceptor. As such, the present invention allows for the synthesis and remodeling of therapeutic antibodies thereby providing for certain biological activities, such as, prolonged half-life time in vivo, less immunogenicity, enhanced in vivo activity, increased targeting ability, and/or ability to deliver a therapeutic agent.

Abstract: The present invention provides for the use of recombinant Endo-S2 mutants (named Endo-S2 glycosynthases) that exhibit reduced hydrolysis activity and increased transglycosylation activity for the synthesis of glycoproteins wherein a desired sugar chain is added to a fucosylated or nonfucosylated GlcNAc-IgG acceptor. As such, the present invention allows for the synthesis and remodeling of therapeutic antibodies thereby providing for certain biological activities, such as, prolonged half-life time in vivo, less immunogenicity, enhanced in vivo activity, increased targeting ability, and/or ability to deliver a therapeutic agent.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a one-pot enzymatic approach which does not require removal of the enzyme and purification of the intermediate after deglycosylation step, and the Endo-S treatment is able to do both deglycosylation and transglycosylation. The one-pot strategy of the present invention enables chemoenzymatic synthesis of an azido-tagged N-glycoform of monocloncal antibodies which could be further modified through orthogonal chemical ligation for various applications.
