The structure of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae strain 723 has been elucidated using NMR spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) on O-deacylated LPS and core oligosaccharide material (OS), as well as ESI-MSn on permethylated dephosphorylated OS. It was found that the LPS contains the common structural element of H. influenzae, l-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-->2)-[PEtn-->6]-l-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-->3)-[beta-D-Glcp-(1-->4)]-l-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-->5)-[PPEtn-->4]-alpha-Kdo-(2-->6)-Lipid A, in which the beta-D-Glcp residue (GlcI) is substituted by phosphocholine at O-6 and the distal heptose residue (HepIII) by PEtn at O-3, respectively. In a subpopulation of glycoforms O-2 of HepIII was substituted by beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp-(1--> or beta-D-Glcp-(1-->. Considerable heterogeneity of the LPS was due to the extent of substitution by O-acetyl groups (Ac) and ester-linked glycine of the core oligosaccharide. The location for glycine was found to be at Kdo. Prominent acetylation sites were found to be at GlcI, HepIII, and the proximal heptose (HepI) residue of the triheptosyl moiety. Moreover, GlcI was acetylated at O-3 and/or O-4 and HepI was acetylated at O-2 as evidenced by capillary electrophoresis ESI-MSn in combination with NMR analyses. This is the first study to show that an acetyl group can substitute HepI of the inner-core region of H. influenzae LPS. 相似文献

Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a common commensal of the human upper respiratory tract and is associated with otitis media in children. The structures of the oligosaccharide portions of NTHi lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from several otitis media isolates are now well characterized but it is not known whether there are structural differences in LPS from colonizing, nondisease associated strains. Structural analysis of LPS from nondisease associated NTHi strains 11 and 16 has been achieved by the application of high-field NMR techniques, ESI-MS, ESI-MSn, capillary electrophoresis coupled to ESI-MS, composition and linkage analyses on O-deacylated LPS and core oligosaccharide material. This is the first study to report structural details on LPS from strains taken from the nasopharynx from healthy individuals. Both strains express identical structures and contain the common element of H. influenzae LPS, L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-->2)-[PEtn-->6]-L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-->3)-[beta-D-Glcp-(1-->4)]-L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-->5)-[PPEtn-->4]-alpha-Kdop-(2-->6)-lipid A, in which each heptose is elongated by a single hexose residue with no further oligosaccharide extensions. In the major Hex3 glycoform, the terminal Hepp residue (HepIII) is substituted at the O-2 position by a beta-D-Galp residue and the central Hepp residue (HepII) is substituted at O-3 by a alpha-D-Glcp residue. Notably, the strains express two phosphocholine (PCho) substituents, one at the O-6 position of alpha-D-Glcp and the other at the O-6 position of beta-D-Galp. Major acetylation sites were identified at O-4 of Gal and O-3 of HepIII. Additionally, both strains express glycine, and strain 11 also expresses detectable amounts of N-acetylneuraminic acid. 相似文献

Structural analysis of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae strain 981 has been achieved using NMR spectroscopy and ESI-MS on O-deacylated LPS and core oligosaccharide (OS) material as well as by ESI-MSn on permethylated dephosphorylated OS. A heterogeneous glycoform population was identified, resulting from the variable length of the OS branches attached to the glucose residue in the common structural element of H. influenzae LPS, l-alpha-d-Hepp-(1-->2)-[PEtn-->6]-l-alpha-d-Hepp-(1-->3)-[beta-d-Glcxp-(1-->4)]-l-alpha-d-Hepp-(1-->5)-[PPEtn-->4]-alpha-Kdop-(2-->6)-Lipid A. Notably, the O-6 position of the beta-d-Glcp residue was either substituted by PCho or the disaccharide branch beta-d-Galp-(1-->4)-d-alpha-d-Hepp, while the O-4 position was substituted by the globotetraose unit, beta-d-GalpNAc-(1-->3)-alpha-d-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-d-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-d-Glcp, or sequentially truncated versions thereof. This is the first time a branching sugar residue has been reported in the outer-core region of H. influenzae LPS. Additionally, a PEtn group was identified at O-3 of the distal heptose residue in the inner-core. 相似文献

Structural elucidation of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from three serotype f Haemophilus influenzae clinical isolates RM6255, RM7290 and RM6252 has been achieved using NMR spectroscopy techniques and ESI-MS on O-deacylated LPS and core oligosaccharide material (OS) as well as ESI-MSn on permethylated dephosphorylated OS. This is the first study to report structural details on LPS from serotype f strains. We found that the LPSs of all strains were highly heterogeneous mixtures of glycoforms expressing the common H. influenzae structural element l-alpha-d-Hepp-(1-->2)-[PEtn-->6]-l-alpha-d-Hepp-(1-->3)-[beta-d-Glcp-(1-->4)]-l-alpha-d-Hepp-(1-->5)-[PPEtn-->4]-alpha-Kdo-(2-->6)-lipid A with variable length of OS chains linked to each of the heptoses. The terminal heptose (HepIII) in RM6255 is substituted at the O-3 position by a beta-d-Glcp residue whereas HepIII in strains RM7290 and RM6252 is substituted at O-2 by the globoside unit (alpha-d-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-d-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-d-Glc) or truncated versions thereof. The central heptose (HepII) is substituted by an alpha-d-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-d-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-d-Glcp-(1-->4)-alpha-d-Glcp unit in RM7290 and RM6252 or truncated versions thereof. Strain RM6255 does not express galactose in its LPS and only shows a cellobiose unit elongating from HepII (beta-d-Glcp-(1-->4)-alpha-d-Glcp). ESI-MSn on dephosphorylated and permethylated OS provided information on the existence of additional minor isomeric glycoforms. 相似文献

Structural analysis of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae strain 1003 has been achieved by the application of high-field NMR techniques, ESI-MS, capillary electrophoresis coupled to ESI-MS, composition and linkage analyses on O-deacylated LPS and core oligosaccharide material. It was found that the LPS contains the common structural element of H. influenzae, l-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-->2)-[PEtn-->6]-l-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-->3)-[beta-D-Glcp-(1-->4)]-l-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-->5)-[PP Etn-->4]-alpha-Kdop-(2-->6)-Lipid A, in which the beta-D-Glcp residue is substituted by phosphocholine at O-6 and an acetyl group at O-4. A second acetyl group is located at O-3 of the distal heptose residue (HepIII). HepIII is chain elongated at O-2 by either a beta-D-Glcp residue (major), lactose or sialyllactose (minor, i.e. alpha-Neu5Ac-(2-->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp), where a third minor acetylation site was identified at the glucose residue. Disialylated species were also detected. In addition, a minor substitution of ester-linked glycine at HepIII and Kdo was observed. 相似文献

We here report the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) structures expressed by nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae R2846, a strain whose complete genome sequence has recently been obtained. Results were obtained by using NMR techniques and ESI-MS on O-deacylated LPS and core oligosaccharide material (OS) as well as ESI-MS (n) on permethylated dephosphorylated OS. A beta- d-Glc p-(1-->4)- d-alpha- d-Hep p-(1-->6)-beta- d-Glc p-(1-->4) unit was found linked to the proximal heptose (HepI) of the conserved triheptosyl inner-core moiety, l-alpha- d-Hep p-(1-->2)-[ PEtn-->6]- l-alpha- d-Hep p-(1-->3)- l-alpha- d-Hep p-(1-->5)-[ PPEtn-->4]-alpha-Kdo-(2-->6)-lipid A. The beta- d-Glc p (GlcI) linked to HepI was also branched with oligosaccharide extensions from O-4 and O-6. O-4 of GlcI was substituted with sialyllacto- N-neotetraose [alpha-Neu5Ac-(2-->3)-beta- d-Gal p-(1-->4)-beta- d-Glc pNAc-(1-->3)-beta- d-Gal p-(1-->4)-beta- d-Glc p-(1-->] and the related structure [( PEtn-->6)-alpha- d-Gal pNAc-(1-->6)-beta- d-Gal p-(1-->4)-beta- d-Glc pNAc-(1-->3)-beta- d-Gal p-(1-->4)-beta- d-Glc p-(1-->]. The distal heptose (HepIII) was substituted at O-2 by beta- d-Gal. Phosphate, phosphoethanolamine, phosphocholine, acetate, and glycine were found to substitute the core oligosaccharide. Two heptosyltransferase genes, losB1 and losB2, have been identified from the R2846 genome sequence and are candidates to add the noncore heptose to the LPS. Mutant strain R2846 losB1 did not show dd-heptose in the extension from HepI but still contained minor quantities of ld-heptose at the same position, indicating that the losB1 gene is required to add dd-heptose to GlcI. The LPS from strain R2846 losB1/ losB2 expressed no noncore heptose, consistent with losB2 directing the addition of ld-heptose. 相似文献

Structural analysis of anti-tumor heteropolysaccharide GFPS1b from the cultured mycelia of Grifola frondosa GF9801 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A 21-kDa heteropolysaccharide, coded as GFPS1b, was obtained from the cultured mycelia of Grifola frondosa GF9801 by hot-water extraction, ethanol precipitation, and fractioned by DEAE Sepharose Fast-flow, followed by the purification with Sephadex G-100 column chromatography using an AKTA purifier. It exhibited more potent anti-proliferative activity on MCF-7 cells than other polysaccharide fractions. GFPS1b was an acidic polysaccharide with approximately 16.60% protein and 4.3% uronic acid. Gas chromatography of absolute acid hydrolysate of GFPS1b suggested that it was composed of D-glucose, D-galactose, and L-arabinose with a molar ratio of 4:2:1. Periodate oxidation, Smith degradation, partial acid hydrolyzation, methylation analysis, FT-IR, and (1)H, (13)C NMR spectroscopy analysis revealed that GFPS1b had a backbone consisting of alpha-(1-->4)-linked D-galacopyranosyl and alpha-(1-->3)-linked D-glucopyranosyl residues substituted at O-6 with glycosyl residues composed of alpha-L-arabinose-(1-->4)-alpha-D-glucose (1--> linked residues. 相似文献

Three D-glucans were isolated from the mycelium of the fungus Botryosphaeria rhodina MAMB-05 by sequential extraction with hot-water and hot aqueous KOH (2% w/v) followed by ethanol precipitation. Following their purification by gel permeation chromatography on Sepharose CL-4B, the structural characteristics of the D-glucans were determined by FT-IR and 13C NMR spectroscopy and, after methylation, by GC-MS. The hot-water extract produced a fraction designated Q1A that was a beta-(1-->6)-D-glucan with the following structure: [Formula: see text] The alkaline extract, when subjected to repeated freeze-thawing, yielded two fractions: K1P (insoluble) that comprised a beta-(1-->3)-D-glucan with beta-D-glucose branches at C-6 with the structure: [Formula: see text] and K1SA (soluble) consisting of a backbone chain of alpha-(1-->4)-linked D-glucopyranosyl residues substituted at O-6 with alpha-D-glucopyranosyl residues: [Formula: see text] 相似文献

Comparative studies of the polysaccharides from species of the genus Ramalina-lichenized fungi-of three distinct habitats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Several structurally different glucans (alpha- and beta-) and galactomannans were characterized as components of four species of the genus Ramalina, namely R. dendriscoides, R. fraxinea, R. gracilis and R. peruviana. Freeze-thawing treatment of hot aqueous extracts furnished as precipitates (PW) linear alpha-D-glucans of the nigeran type, with regularly distributed (1-->3)- and (1-->4)-linkages in a 1:1 ratio. The supernatants (SW) contained alpha-D-glucans with (1-->3)- and (1-->4)-linkages in a molar ratio of 3:1. The lichen residues were then extracted with 2% aq. KOH, and the resulting extracts submitted to the freeze-thawing treatment, giving rise to precipitates (PK2) of a mixture of alpha-glucan (nigeran) and beta-glucan, which were suspended in aqueous 0.5% NaOH at 50 degrees C, dissolving preferentially the beta-glucan. These were linear with (1-->3)-linkages (laminaran). The mother liquor of the KOH extractions (2% and 10% aq. KOH) was treated with Fehling's solution to give precipitates (galactomannans). The galactomannans are related, having (1-->6)-linked alpha-D-mannopyranosyl main chains, substituted at O-4 and in a small proportion at O-2,4 by beta-D-galactopyranosyl units. Despite the different habitats of these lichenized fungi, all species studied in this investigation have a similar pool of polysaccharides. 相似文献

A fraction of saponins from Quillaja saponaria Molina, QH-B, was fractionated by consecutive separations on three different reverse-phase HPLC systems. Eight compounds were isolated and the structures of these were elucidated mainly by sugar analysis and NMR spectroscopy. The structures consisted of a quillaic acid substituted with two different trisaccharides at C-3, beta-D-Galp-(1-->2)-[alpha-L-Rhap-(1-->3)]-beta-D-GlcpA and beta-D-Galp-(1-->2)-[beta-D-Xylp-(1-->3)]-beta-D-GlcpA, and a tetra- or pentasaccharide at C-28, beta-D-Xylp-(1-->4)-[beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)]-alpha-L-Rhap-(1--> 2)-beta-D-Fucp and beta-D-Apif-(1-->3)-beta-D-Xylp-(1-->4)-[beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3) ]-alpha-L- Rhap-(1-->2)-beta-D-Fucp. These compounds were further substituted with an acyl group either at O-3 or O-4 of the fucose residue, which is the sugar linked to C-28 of the quillaic acid. 相似文献

A cell-wall preparation from the cells of Elsinoe leucospila, which produces elsinan extracellularly when grown on sucrose or glucose-potato extract medium, was fractionated systematically. The heteropolysaccharide that was released by treatment with Actinase E digestion, comprised D-mannose, D-galactose, and D-glucose (molar ratio, 1.5:1.0:0.1). Methylation, mild acid hydrolysis, and 13C-NMR studies suggested that the polysaccharide contains a backbone of alpha-(1----6)-linked D-mannose residues having two kinds of side chains, one attached at the O-4 with single or short beta-(1----6)-linked D-galactofuranosyl residues, and the other attached at O-2 with short side chains, most probably, of alpha-(1----3)-linked D-mannopyranosyl residues. A moderately branched D-glucan fraction, obtained from the cold alkali extract, was fractionated to give an antitumor-active purified beta-(1----3)-glucan having branches of single beta-D-glucosyl groups, one out of eight D-glucose residues being substituted at the O-6. 相似文献

Haemophilus influenzae expresses heterogeneous populations of short-chain lipopolysaccharide (LPS) which exhibit extensive antigenic diversity among multiple oligosaccharide epitopes. These LPS oligosaccharide epitopes can carry phosphocholine (PCho) substituents, the expression of which is subject to high frequency phase variation mediated by genes in the lic1 genetic locus. The location and site of attachment of PCho substituents were determined by structural analysis of LPS from two type b H. influenzae strains, Eagan and RM7004. The lic2 locus is involved in phase variation of oligosaccharide expression. LPS obtained from the parent strains, from mutants generated by insertion of antibiotic resistance cassettes in the lic2 genetic locus, and from phase-variants showing high levels of PCho expression was characterized by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and 1H NMR spectroscopy of derived O-deacylated samples. ESI-MS of O-deacylated LPS from wild-type strains revealed mixtures of related glycoform structures differing in the number of hexose residues. Analysis of LPS from PCho-expressing phase-variants revealed similar mixtures of glycoforms, each containing a single PCho substituent. O-Deacylated LPS preparations from the lic2 mutants were much less complex than their respective parent strains, consisting only of Hex3 and/or Hex2 glycoforms, were examined in detail by high-field NMR techniques. It was found that the LPS samples contain the phosphoethanolamine (PEtn) substituted inner-core element, L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-->2)-[PEtn-->6]-L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1--> 3)-L-alpha-D-He pp-(1-->5)-alpha-Kdo in which the major glycoforms carry a beta-D-Glcp or beta-D-Glcp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp at the O-4 position of the 3-substituted heptose (HepI) and a beta-D-Galp at the O-2 position of the terminal heptose (HepIII). LPS from the lic2 mutants of both type b strains were found to carry PCho groups at the O-6 position of the terminal beta-D-Galp residue attached to HepIII. In the parent strains, the central heptose (HepII) of the LPS inner-core element is also substituted by hexose containing oligosaccharides. The expression of the galabiose epitope in LPS of H. influenzae type b strains has previously been linked to genes comprising the lic2 locus. The present study provides definitive evidence for the role of lic2 genes in initiating chain extension from HepII. From the analysis of core oligosaccharide samples, LPS from the lic2 mutant strain of RM7004 was also found to carry O-acetyl substituents. Mono-, di-, and tri-O-acetylated LPS oligosaccharides were identified. The major O-acetylated glycoforms were found to be substituted at the O-3 position of HepIII. A di-O-acetylated species was characterized which was also substituted at the O-6 postion of the terminal beta-D-Glc in the Hex3 glycoform. This is the first report pointing to the occurrence of O-acetyl groups in the inner-core region of H. influenzae LPS. We have previously shown that in H. influenzae strain Rd, a capsule-deficient type d strain, PCho groups are expressed in a different molecular environment, being attached at the O-6 position of a beta-D-Glcp, which is in turn attached to HepI. 相似文献

Structural characterization of a 2-O-acetylglucomannan from Dendrobium officinale stem 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A heteropolysaccharide obtained from an aqueous extract of dried stem of Dendrobium officinale Kimura and Migo by anion-exchange chromatography and gel-permeation chromatography, was investigated by chemical techniques and NMR spectroscopy, and is demonstrated to be a 2-O-acetylglucomannan, composed of mannose, glucose, and arabinose in 40.2:8.4:1 molar ratios. It has a backbone of (1-->4)-linked beta-d-mannopyranosyl residues and beta-d-glucopyranosyl residues, with branches at O-6 consisting of terminal and (1-->3)-linked Manp, (1-->3)-linked Glcp, and a small proportion of arabinofuranosyl residues at the terminal position. The acetyl groups are substituted at O-2 of (1-->4)-linked Manp and Glcp. The main repeating unit of the polysaccharides is reported. 相似文献

Further data on the structure of brown seaweed fucans: relationships with anticoagulant activity. 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20

The composition, molecular weight (MW), anticoagulant activity and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of various low-molecular-weight fucans (LMWFs) obtained by partial hydrolysis or radical depolymerization of a crude fucoidan extracted from the brown seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum are compared. Fucose units were found mainly sulfated at O-2, to a lesser extent at O-3, and only slightly at O-4, contrary to previously published results for fucoidans from other brown seaweeds, and fucose 2, 3-O-disulfate residues were observed for the first time. As the sulfation pattern excluded an alpha-(1-->2)-linked fucose backbone and a high proportion of alpha-(1-->4) linkages was found, it would appear that the concept of fucoidan structure needs to be revised. Anticoagulant activity is apparently related not only to MW and sulfation content, as previously determined, but also (and more precisely) to 2-O-sulfation and 2,3-O-disulfation levels. 相似文献

Two galactofuranomannans, Ths-4 and Ths-5, were isolated from the lichen, Thamnolia vermicularis var. subuliformis, using ethanol fractionation and anion-exchange and size-exclusion chromatography. The average molecular weights of Ths-4 and Ths-5 were estimated to be 19 and 200 kDa, respectively. Structural characterisation of Ths-4, Ths-5 and their partially hydrolysed derivatives was performed by methanolysis and methylation analysis. The intact and partially hydrolysed Ths-4 was further analysed using NMR spectroscopy (1D, COSY, NOESY, TOCSY, HSQC and HMBC). According to the data obtained, the heteroglycans Ths-4 and Ths-5 have similar structures, but have large differences in molecular weight. The structure is composed of 3-O-linked and 5-O-linked galactofuranosyl chains linked to a mannan core. The mannan core consists of a main chain of alpha-(1-->6)-linked mannopyranosyl residues, substituted at O-2 with either a single alpha-mannopyranosyl unit or an alpha-Manp-(1-->2)-alpha-Manp-(1-->2)-alpha-Manp group in the ratio of approximately 1:3, respectively. The polysaccharides have idealised repeating blocks as is shown. 相似文献

Structure determination,apoptosis induction,and telomerase inhibition of CFP-2, a novel lichenin from Cladonia furcata 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A great deal of experimental evidence has accumulated in the past several decades, suggesting that polysaccharides have wide bioactivities. Cladonia furcata polysaccharide, CFP-2, a water-soluble lichenin with a mean Mr 7.6 x 10(4), was first obtained by 0.25 M NaOH solution extraction, ethanol precipitation, DEAE-cellulose, and Sephadex G-200 column chromatography. Gas chromatography of acid hydrolyzate of CFP-2 suggested that it was composed of D-glucose, D-galactose, and D-mannose in the molar ratios of 8:1:1. Periodate oxidation, Smith degradation, IR, and NMR spectroscopy analysis revealed that CFP-2 had a backbone consisting of alpha-(1-->3) and alpha-(1-->4)-linked D-glucopyranosyl residues substituted at O-6 with beta-(1-->6)-linked D-galactopyranosyl residue and alpha-(1-->6)-linked D-mannopyranosyl residue. CFP-2 was able to reduce viability of cultured HL-60 and K562 cells. The antiproliferative properties of CFP-2 appeared to be attributable to its induction of apoptotic cell death as determined by ultrastructural change, internucleosomal DNA fragmentation, and increased proportion of the subdiploid cell population. To elucidate molecular events in the apoptosis, protein expressions of Bcl-2, Bax, Fas, and FasL were measured by Western blotting using specific antibodies in HL-60 cells. The level of Bcl-2 remained largely unchanged, but the Bax, Fas, and FasL expression showed up-regulation. Moreover, the telomerase activity analyzed by TRAP-ELISA assay in HL-60 cells treated with CFP-2 decreased as compared with the untreated control cells. These results suggest that CFP-2 could have a possible cancer therapeutic potential. 相似文献

A study of fucoidan from the brown seaweed Chorda filum. 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
A O Chizhov A Dell H R Morris S M Haslam R A McDowell A S Shashkov N E Nifant'ev E A Khatuntseva A I Usov 《Carbohydrate research》1999,320(1-2):108-119
Fucoidan fractions from the brown seaweed Chorda filum were studied using solvolytic desulfation. Methylation analysis and NMR spectroscopy were applied for native and desulfated polysaccharides. Homofucan sulfate from C. filum was shown to contain poly-alpha-(1-->3)-fucopyranoside backbone with a high degree of branching, mainly of alpha-(1-->2)-linked single units. Some fucopyranose residues are sulfated at O-4 (mainly) and O-2 positions. Some alpha-(1-->3)-linked fucose residues were shown by NMR to be 2-O-acetylated. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of desulfated, deacetylated fucan were completely assigned. The spectral data obtained correspond to a quasiregular polysaccharide structure with a branched hexasaccharide repeating unit. Other fucoidan fractions from C. filum have more complex carbohydrate composition and give rather complex methylation patterns. [formula: see text] 相似文献

Structural features of the acidic, highly substituted glycanoxylan (LCP; 87% yield) from the gum exudate of the palm, Livistona chinensis, family Arecaceae, were determined. It had [alpha]D -30 degrees, Mw 1.9x10(5) and a polydispersity ratio Mw/Mn of approximately 1.0. Acid hydrolysis gave rise to Rha, Fuc, Ara, Xyl, and Gal, in a 1:6:46:44:3 molar ratio, and 12% of uronic acid was present. LCP had a highly branched structure with side-chains containing nonreducing end-units (% values are approximate) of Araf (15%), Fucp (4%), Xylp (7%), GlcpA, and 4-Me-GlcpA, and internal 2-O- (5%) and 3-O-substituted Araf (8%), and 2-O-substituted Xylp (14%) units. The (1-->4)-linked beta-Xylp main-chain units of LCP were substituted at O-3 (4%), O-2 (17%), and O-2,3 (16%). Partial acid hydrolysis gave 4-Me-alpha-GlcpA-(1-->2)-[beta-Xylp-(1-->4)](0-2)-Xyl, identified by showing that the uronic acids were single-unit side-chain substituents on O-2. Milder hydrolysis conditions removed from O-3 other side-chains containing Fucp and Araf nonreducing end-units and internal Arap, and 2-O- and 3-O-substituted Araf units. Carboxyl-reduced LCP contained 4-O-methylglucose and glucose in a 3.2:1 molar ratio, arising from GlcpA and 4-OMe-GlcpA nonreducing end-units, respectively. The gum contained small amounts of free alpha-Fucp-(1-->2)-Ara, which corresponds to structures in the polysaccharide. Free myo- and D- or L-chiro-inositol were present in a 9:1 ratio. 相似文献

A polysaccharide fraction consisting of d-galactose, sulfate, and pyruvate in a molar proportion of 4:2:1 was isolated from the green seaweed Codium yezoense by water extraction followed by ion-exchange chromatography. To elucidate its structure, modified polysaccharides were prepared by desulfation, depyruvylation, and by total removal of non-carbohydrate substituents. Structures of the native polysaccharide and of the products of its chemical modifications were investigated by methylation analysis as well as by 1D and 2D (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. The polysaccharide devoid of sulfate and pyruvate was subjected to two subsequent Smith degradations to afford a rather low-molecular and essentially linear (1-->3)-beta-d-galactan. A highly ramified structure was suggested for the native polysaccharide, which contains linear backbone segments of 3-linked beta-d-galactopyranose residues connected by (1-->6) linkages, about 40% of 3-linked residues being additionally substituted at C-6, probably by short oligosaccharide residues also containing (1-->3) and (1-->6) linkages. Sulfate groups were found mainly at C-4 and in minor amounts at C-6. Pyruvate was found to form mainly five-membered cyclic ketals with O-3 and O-4 of the non-reducing terminal galactose residues. The minor part of pyruvate forms six-membered cyclic ketals with O-4 and O-6. The absolute configurations of ketals (R for six-membered ketals and S for five-membered ones) were established using NMR spectral data. 相似文献

Mannans from genetically modified Pichia pastoris yeast, used for overproduction of neural cell adhesion molecule protein, grown on normal media or on uniformly 13C-labeled glucose and methanol, were isolated and characterized by high-field (750 MHz) NMR spectroscopy. Fully 13C-labeled oligosaccharide fragments were prepared from mannans by acetolysis. According to the data obtained, the mannan is made up of a main chain of alpha-(1-->6)-linked mannopyranosyl residues, substituted at 0-2 with alpha-mannopyranosyl or a alpha-D-Manp-(1-->2)-beta-D-Manp-(1-->2)-beta-D-Manp-( 1-->2)-alpha-D-Manp- group, and with much lower content of substitution with beta-D-Manp-(1-->2)-alpha-D-Manp-. A fraction of these oligosaccharide side chains is again substituted with alpha-D-Glcp or alpha-D-GlcpNAc through a phosphodiester linkage to the 6 position of the first mannopyranosyl residue. Improved conditions of acetolysis, cleaving all alpha-(1-->6) linkages, but not beta-mannoside linkages, are proposed. 相似文献
