Abstract

Neu5Ac, Neu5Gc, and KDN are three forms of sialic acids in vertebrates that possess distinct biological functions. Herein, we report the synthesis and metabolic incorporation of the 9-azido analogues of three sialic acid forms in mammalian cells. The incorporated sialic acid analogues enable fluorescent imaging of cell-surface sialoglycans and proteomic profiling of sialoglycoproteins. Furthermore, we apply them to metabolically engineer cell surfaces with sialoglycans terminated with distinct sialic acids or their 9-azido analogues. The remodeled cells expressing specific cell-surface sialoglycoforms show distinct binding affinity toward subtilase cytotoxin (SubAB), a toxin secreted by Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli. The 9-azido analogues of sialic acid forms developed in this work provide a versatile tool for metabolic remodeling of cell-surface properties and modulating pathogen−host interactions.
