Abstract
Enzymatic 5′-monophosphorylation and 5′-phosphatidylation of a number of -l- and -d-nucleosides was investigated. The first reaction, catalyzed by nucleoside phosphotransferase (NPT) from Erwinia herbicola</i>, consisted of the transfer of the phosphate residue from p</i>-nitrophenylphosphate (p</i>-NPP) to the 5′-hydroxyl group of nucleoside; the second was the phospholipase d (PLD)-catalyzed transphosphatidylation of l-α-lecithin with a series of -l- and -d-nucleosides as the phosphatidyl acceptor resulted in the formation of the respective phospholipid-nucleoside conjugates. Some -l-nucleosides displayed similar or even higher substrate activity compared to the -d-enantiomers.
