UDP-glycal derivatives as transition state analogues of GNE substrates are synthesized, especially UDP-exo-glycal derivatives, C-glycosidic derivatives of 2-acetamidoglucal, and ketosides as bissubstrate analogues and bis-product analogues, respectively. Derivatives of 1-deoxyiminosugars with and without substitution of the iminogroup in the ring are promising GNE inhibitors, designed as transition-state analogues of the known enzymatic mechanism of UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase

functional expression in Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris or insect cells. In all cell types, the expressed enzyme displayes both epimerase and kinase activities. In Escherichia coli up to 2 mg protein/l cell culture is expressed in yeast cells only 0.4 mg/ml, in insect cells up to 100 mg/L. In all three cell systems, insoluble protein aggregates are also observed. Expression and purification of the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase in Sf-900 cells can yield the miligram amount of protein required for structural characterization of the enzyme. The easier expression in Escherichia coli and yeast provides sufficient quantities for enzymatic and kinetic characterization

high level overexpression of the active enzyme is established by using the baculovirus/Sf9 system
