Abstract
Abstract A process for preparing uridine diphosphate-N-acetylgalactosamine, which comprises treating a reaction solution obtained by the enzymatic conversion of uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine to uridine diphosphate-N-acetylgalactosamine, with uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase to decompose the remaining uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine in the solution and then separating therefrom the uridine diphosphate-N-acetylgalactosamine for purification. In one aspect of this invention, it relates to a method for measuring the activity of α-N-acetylgalactosaminyl transferase characterized by the use of said reaction solution as the substrate for the transferase.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
A process for the preparation of uridine diphosphate-N-acetylgalactosamine, comprising the steps of: treating a reaction solution obtained by the conversion of uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine to uridine diphosphate-N-acetylgalactosamine in the presence of uridine diphosphate-N-ocetylglucosamine-4-epimerase obtained by partially purifying with ammonium sulfate cell free extracts of Bacillus bacterium, with uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase to decompose the uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine remaining in the reaction solution and then separating the uridine diphosphate-N-acetylgalacetosamine from the enzymatically decomposed reaction solution.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words
A process for the preparation of uridine diphosphate-N-acetylgalactosamine, comprising the steps of: treating a reaction solution obtained by the conversion of uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine to uridine diphosphate-N-acetylgalactosamine in the presence of uridine diphosphate-N-ocetylglucosamine-4-epimerase obtained by partially purifying with ammonium sulfate cell free extracts of Bacillus bacterium, with uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase to decompose the uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine remaining in the reaction solution and then separating the uridine diphosphate-N-acetylgalacetosamine from the enzymatically decomposed reaction solution.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the Bacillus bacterium is Bacillus subtilis IFO 3009 or IFO 3007.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the enzyme is one in solution of a 40-80% ammonium sulfate saturated fraction of the cell free extracts.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the reaction solution as obtained by the enzymatic conversion is treated with uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase without separating sugar necleotide produced in the reaction solution.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the separation and purification are carried out by paper chromatography, thereby to obtain the uridine diphosphate-N-acetylgalactosamine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
A process according to claim 5, wherein the paper chromatography is carried out after the pyrophosphate contained in the enzymatically decomposed reaction solution has been precipitated for removal therefrom by the addition of manganese chloride thereto.
