AbstractFucosyl-N-acetylglucosamine disaccharides are present in many biologically important oligosaccharides, such as human milk oligosaccharides, Lewis carbohydrate antigens, and glycans on cell-surface glycoconjugate receptors, and thus have vast potential for infant formulas, prebiotics, and pharmaceutical applications. In this work, in order to screen biocatalysts for enzymatic synthesis of fucosyl-N-acetylglucosamine disaccharides, we performed sequence analysis of 12 putative and one known α-L-fucosidases ofBacteroides fragilisNCTC9343 and constructed a phylogenetic tree of the nine GH29 α-L-fucosidases. After that, five GH29A α-L-fucosidases were cloned, and four of them were successfully heterogeneous expressed and screened for transglycosylation activity, and a GH29A α-L-fucosidase (BF3242) that synthesized a mix of Fuc-α-1,3/1,6-GlcNAc disaccharides usingpNPαFuc as donor and GlcNAc as acceptor was characterized. The effects of initial substrate concentration, pH, temperature, and reaction time on its transglycosylation activity were studied in detail. Under the optimum conditions of 0.05 U/mL enzyme, 20 mMpNPαFuc, and 500 mM GlcNAc in sodium buffer (pH 7.5) at 37 °C for 45 min, BF3242 efficiently synthesized Fuc-α-1,3/1,6-GlcNAc at a maximum yield of 79.0% with the ratio of 0.48 for 1,3/1,6. The molecular dynamics simulation analysis revealed that Loop-4 (His220-Ser245) in the putative 3D model of BF3242 displayed significant changes throughout the thermal simulations, might being responsible for the changes in the ratio of two regioisomeric products at different temperatures. This work provided not only a potential synthetic tool for enzymatic synthesis of fucosyl-N-acetylglucosamine disaccharides but also a possibility for the formation of regioisomeric products in glycosidase-catalyzed transglycosylation.Key points•Sequence analysis of α-L-fucosidases of Bacteroides fragilis NCTC9343•Obtainment of an α-L-fucosidase with high transglycosylation activity•Explanation why temperature affected the ratio of two regioisomeric products
