Unnatural chemical moieties were incorporated into capsule polysaccharides through bacterial metabolism, resulting in metabolically labeled hyaluronan, heparin, and chondroitin sulfate precursors. Through bioorthogonal chemistry, the azido-labeled polysaccharides were reacted with dyes for detection and imaging. Additionally, the site-specific introduction of fluorophores onto cell surfaces allows for observing and quantifying bacteria both in vivo and in vitro.
The introduction of unnatural chemical moieties into glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) has enormous potential to facilitate studies of the mechanism and application of these critical, widespread molecules. Unnatural N-acetylhexosamine analogs were metabolically incorporated into the capsule polysaccharides of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis via bacterial metabolism. Targeted metabolic labeled hyaluronan and the precursors of heparin and chondroitin sulfate were obtained. The azido-labeled polysaccharides (purified or in capsules) were reacted with dyes, via bioorthogonal chemistry, to enable detection and imaging. Site-specific introduction of fluorophores directly onto cell surfaces affords another choice for observing and quantifying bacteria in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, azido-polysaccharides retain similar biological properties to their natural analogs, and reliable and predictable introduction of functionalities, such as fluorophores, onto azido-N-hexosamines in the disaccharide repeat units provides chemical tools for imaging and metabolic analysis of GAGs in vivo and in vitro.
