The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) structure of Campylobacter jejuni contributes to its robust fitness. Many strains contain heptose moieties in their CPS units. The precursor heptose is GDP-D-glycero-alpha-D-manno-heptose; modifications to the stereochemistry at C3-C6 as well as additions of methyl and phosphoramidate groups lend to the hyper-variability of the C. jejuni CPS structures. Synthesis of GDP-D-glycero-alpha-D-manno-heptose has been described previously, but using enzymes from Aneurinibacillus thermoaerophilus DSM 10155. Here we describe the complete synthesis of GDP-D-glycero-alpha-D-manno-heptose using enzymes from C. jejuni NTCC 11168: Cj1152 and Cj1423-Cj1425. Our results yield kinetic parameters for these enzymes and outline a successful strategy for milligram-gram scale synthesis of GDP-D-glycero-alpha-D-manno-heptose. This achievement is critical for the characterization of other carbohydrate tailoring enzymes, which are expected to utilize GDP-D-glycero-alpha-D-manno-heptose for the biosynthesis of more complex carbohydrates in the CPS of C. jejuni.
