The specific capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 9V   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The specific capsular polysaccharide produced by Streptococcus pneumoniae type 9V (American type 68) is composed of D-glucuronic acid (1 part), D-galactose (1 part), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-mannose (1 part), D-glucose (2 parts), and O-acetyl (1.6 parts). Methylation, periodate oxidation, optical rotation, and nuclear magnetic resonance studies, and partial hydrolysis showed that the polysaccharide is an unbranched high molecular weight linear polymer of a partially O-acetylated pentasaccharide repeating unit having the structure indicated below.

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major human pathogen which expresses more than 90 serologically distinct capsular polysaccharides (PS) on the surface. Since pneumococcal PSs elicit protective antibodies against pneumococcal diseases, it is important to identify the immunological epitope eliciting anti-pneumococcal PS antibodies. L-rhamnose is a part of the 23F PS repeating unit and is known to be a critical part of immunodominant epitope which elicits antibodies against pneumococcal serotype 23F PS. In order to determine if L-rhamnose is a part of epitope recognized by functional antibodies specific for serotype 23F PS in human serum samples, we evaluated the opsonophagocytic killing of serotype 23F pneumococci by serum antibodies specific for L-rhamnose. Using 10 mM L-rhamnose, opsonic capacities (opsonic indices) of serum antibodies were inhibited by 60% in 19 sera (36%) and 30–60% in 16 sera (30%) out of 53 sera from young and old adults immunized with 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23). Interestingly, when IgM antibodies were depleted from immune sera in order to preferentially study IgG antibodies, the proportion of young adult sera showing more than 60% inhibition in opsonic capacity by 10 mM of L-rhamnose increased from 33% (11/31) to 68% (21/31). On the other hand, IgM depletion did not alter the proportion for old adult sera. Therefore, young and old adults may produce different antigen binding profiles of IgG antibodies against serotype 23F PS.  相似文献

The synthesis is reported of 3-aminopropyl 4-O-(4-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-2-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-beta-D- galactopyranosyl)-beta-L-rhamnopyranoside 3'-(glycer-2-yl sodium phosphate) (25 beta), which represents the repeating unit of the capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 23F (American type 23) [(----4)-beta-D-Glcp-(1----4)-[Glycerol-(2-P----3)] [alpha-L- Rhap-(1----2)]-beta-D-Galp-(1----4)-beta-L-Rhap-(1----)n). 2,4,6-Tri-O-acetyl-3-O-allyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (5) was coupled with ethyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-1-thio-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (6). Deacetylation of the resulting disaccharide derivative, followed by benzylidenation, and condensation with 2,3,4-trio-O-acetyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (10) afforded ethyl 4-O-[3-O-allyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-O-(2,3,4-trio-O-acetyl- alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl]-2,3-di-O-benzyl-1-thio - alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (11). Deacetylation of 11, followed by benzylation, selective benzylidene ring-opening, and coupling with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (15) gave ethyl 4-O-[3-O-allyl-6-O-benzyl-4-O-(2,3,4,6- tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-2-O-(2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-alpha-L- rhamnopyranosyl)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl]-2,3-di-O-benzyl-1-thio-alpha-L - rhamnopyranoside (16). Deacetylation of 16 followed by benzylation, deallylation, and acetylation yielded ethyl 4-O-[3-O-acetyl-6-O-benzyl-4-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-beta-D-glucopy ran osyl)- 2-O-(2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl ]-2,3- di-O-benzyl-1-thio-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (20). The glycosyl bromide derived from 20, when coupled with 3-benzyloxycarbonylamino-1-propanol, gave the beta-glycoside (21 beta) as the major product. Deacetylation of 21 beta followed by condensation with 1,3-di-O-benzylglycerol 2-(triethylammonium phosphonate) (27), oxidation, and deprotection, afforded 25 beta.  相似文献

Pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide group 17 contains two distinct serotypes, 17F and 17A. Pneumococcal group 17 is present in the licensed 23 valent polysaccharide vaccines. One such vaccine contains type 17A, while the other vaccine contains type 17F. The purpose of these studies was to determine the extent of cross-protection that could be expected, as both type 17F and 17A cause disease. The antibody responses of one group of adults to a vaccine containing type 17F was compared to that of another group that received a type 17A containing vaccine. By ELISA the 17A vaccine induced more cross-reactive antibodies. Opsonophagocytic antibodies are a good predictor of protection and both vaccines induced antibodies opsonic for both 17F and 17A. We conclude that either 17F or 17A will provide similar protection against group 17 disease.  相似文献

The structure of the capsular polysaccharide elaborated by Streptococcus pneumoniae type 18F (S18F) has been investigated by using n.m.r. spectroscopy, methylation analysis, and characterisation of oligosaccharides obtained on partial hydrolysis. It is concluded that the polysaccharide is composed of pentasaccharide repeating-units having the following structure. (formula; see text) In this structure, the absolute configuration of the glycerol phosphate moiety has not been determined, but is assumed to be D-glycerol 1-phosphate (sn-glycerol 3-phosphate). The location of an O-acetyl group at O-6 of the terminal alpha-D-glucopyranosyl groups is tentative only.  相似文献

The structure of the O-antigen polysaccharide from Escherichia coli O159 has been determined using primarily NMR spectroscopy of the 13C-enriched polysaccharide. The sequence of the sugar residues could be determined by heteronuclear multiple bond connectivity NMR experiments. The polysaccharide is composed of a pentasaccharide repeating unit with the following structure: [sequence: see text] Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry was performed on intact lipopolysaccharide and from the resulting molecular mass the O-antigen part was estimated to contain approximately 23 repeating units. Cross-reactivity of this O-antigen to that of Shigella dysenteriae type 4 was confirmed using enzyme-linked immunoabsorbant assay.  相似文献

The synthesis of methyl α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-galactopyranoside and methyl α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-3-(glycer-2-yl-phosphate)-β-d-galactopyranoside disaccharides from the Streptococcuspneumoniae type 23F capsular polysaccharide is reported. A simple protecting group strategy was followed using commercially available monosaccharides and phosphorylating reagents. H-Phosphonate and phosphoramidite coupling chemistries were explored for introducing the phosphodiester. Hydrazine hydrate was found to be a mild and efficient deacetylating agent, which was required to avoid phosphate migration during the deprotection of the phosphodiester functionalized disaccharide.  相似文献

The specific capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 7F (American type 51) is a high-molecular-weight neutral polymer composed of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose, D-glucose, D-galactose, L-rhamnose, and 2-O-acetyl-L-rhamnose residues. N.m.r. spectroscopy (1H and 13C), in conjunction with composition and methylation analyses, and periodate oxidation data, showed the polysaccharide to be a branched polymer with a repeating heptasaccharide unit having the following structure.

Full proton, 13C and 31P NMR assignments for the capsular polysaccharide from Streptococcus pneumoniae Type 17F are reported, and a revised structure differing in the anomeric configuration of the sidechain beta-Galp residue proposed. This polysaccharide is a component of the current 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine. The implications of this revised structure for published work are discussed.  相似文献

Structure of the type 5 capsular polysaccharide of Staphylococcus aureus   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
The Staphylococcus aureus type 5 capsular polysaccharide is composed of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-L-fucose (1 part), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-fucose (1 part), and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-mannuronic acid (1 part). On the basis of methylation analysis, optical rotation, high-field one- and two-dimensional 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. experiments, and selective cleavage with 70% aqueous hydrogen fluoride, the polysaccharide was found to be a partially O-acetylated (50%) polymer of the repeating trisaccharide unit, [----4)-3-O-Ac-beta-D-ManpNAcA-(1----4)-a-L-FucpNAc-(1----3) -beta-D-FucpNAc-(1----]n.  相似文献

An acidic O-specific polysaccharide was obtained by mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide of the bacterium Proteus vulgaris O23 (strain PrK 44/57) and found to contain 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose, and D-galacturonic acid. Based on 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopic studies, including two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (COSY), total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY), nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY), and 1H,13C heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (HMQC) experiments, the following structure of the branched tetrasaccharide repeating unit of the polysaccharide was established: [figure], where the degree of O-acetylation of the terminal GalA residue at position 4 is about 80%. A structural similarity of the O-specific polysaccharides of P. vulgaris O23 and P. mirabilis O23 is discussed.  相似文献

The structure of the capsular polysaccharide (S18A) elaborated by Streptococcus pneumoniae type 18A has been investigated by using methylation analysis and n.m.r. spectroscopy. It is concluded that the polysaccharide is composed of pentasaccharide repeating-units having the following structure. (formula; see text) In this structure, the absolute configuration of the glycerol 1-phosphate moiety has not been determined but is assumed to be D from biosynthesis considerations. The structure of S18A is, as expected, closely similar to those determined for S18F and S18C.  相似文献

The capsular polysaccharide from Streptococcus pneumoniae Type 23 (S-23) was found to contain d-galactose, d-glucose, l-rhamnose, glycerol, and phosphorus in the ratios of 1:1:2:0.6:1. Methylation analysis provided information about the linkages of the different sugar units. The sequence of the different sugar residues was confirmed by Smith degradation. Oxidation of S-23 with chromium trioxide indicated that all of the sugar units have the β configuration. The results suggest the following structure for the repeating unit.

Vaccination with polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine "Pneumo 23" (Sanofi Pasteur, France) was performed in 31 children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) as well as in 19 children with respiratory tract diseases (asthma, chronic pneumonia), which formed comparison group. Fourty-three unvaccinated children with DM1 were included in the control group. Dynamics of IgG levels to mixture of pneumococcal polysaccharides (PS) included in the vaccine as well as to PS of serotypes 3, 6B, 9N, 23F, and to cell wall polysaccharides of Streptococcus pneumoniae were assessed. Using ELISA method, significant increase of IgG levels to mixture of PS and to PS of pneumococcal serotype 3 was detected. Although intensity of immune response to vaccination in children with respiratory diseases was significantly higher compared to children with DM1 (mean geometric titer of antibodies, proportion of patients with high antibody titers, and with 4-fold seroconversion). Development of methods to strengthen immune response in children with DM1 vaccinated against pneumococcal infection is required.  相似文献

The capsular polysaccharide from Haemophilus influenzae type b (polyribosyl ribitol-phosphate; PRP) and the capsular polysaccharides from Streptococcus pneumoniae types 6B, 14, 18C, and 23F (Pn6B, Pn14, Pn18C, and Pn23F) were subjected to acid hydrolysis using hydrofluoric (HF) and/or trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and high-pH anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection in an effort to identify optimum hydrolysis conditions for composition analysis of their carbohydrate components. With the exception of PRP, composition analyses of polysaccharides containing a phosphate moiety in the repeating unit structure (Pn6B, Pn18C, and Pn23F) are significantly improved by subjecting the sample to HF hydrolysis (65 degrees C, 1 h) followed by TFA hydrolysis (98 degrees C, 16 h). This results in essentially quantitative hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond to the carbohydrate components, which otherwise remained predominantly phosphorylated and poorly accounted for in the analysis. Optimum analysis of PRP was achieved following a 2-h hydrolysis with TFA at 80 degrees C, whereas Pn14 showed optimum results after a 16-h hydrolysis with TFA at 98 degrees C. These analyses also provide information about the relative susceptibility to acid hydrolysis of the various glycosidic and phosphodiester bonds in these polysaccharides, with evidence to suggest that the acid lability of a given bond can be dramatically different from one polysaccharide to another.  相似文献

Mutations of PCDH15, encoding protocadherin 15, can cause either combined hearing and vision impairment (type 1 Usher syndrome; USH1F) or nonsyndromic deafness (DFNB23). Human PCDH15 is reported to be composed of 35 exons and encodes a variety of isoforms with 3–11 ectodomains (ECs), a transmembrane domain and a carboxy-terminal cytoplasmic domain (CD). Building on these observations, we describe an updated gene structure that has four additional exons of PCDH15 and isoforms that can be subdivided into four classes. Human PCDH15 encodes three alternative, evolutionarily conserved unique cytoplasmic domains (CD1, CD2 or CD3). Families ascertained on the basis of prelingual hearing loss were screened for linkage of this phenotype to markers for PCDH15 on chromosome 10q21.1. In seven of twelve families segregating USH1, we identified homozygous mutant alleles (one missense, one splice site, three nonsense and two deletion mutations) of which six are novel. One family was segregating nonsyndromic deafness DFNB23 due to a homozygous missense mutation. To date, in our cohort of 557 Pakistani families, we have found 11 different PCDH15 mutations that account for deafness in 13 families. Molecular modeling provided mechanistic insight into the phenotypic variation in severity of the PCDH15 missense mutations. We did not find pathogenic mutations in five of the twelve USH1 families linked to markers for USH1F, which suggest either the presence of mutations of yet additional undiscovered exons of PCDH15, mutations in the introns or regulatory elements of PCDH15, or an additional locus for type I USH at chromosome 10q21.1.

The structure of the capsular polysaccharide from Klebsiella type 33 has been investigated. Methylation analysis, various specific degradations, graded hydrolysis with acid, and n.m.r. spectroscopy were the principal methods used. It is concluded that the polysaccharide is composed of pentasaccharide repeating-units having the following structure. (formula, see manual). The D-galactopyranosyl group, with pyruvic acid linked as a ketal to O-3 AND O-4, was degraded on treatment of the fully methylated polysaccharide with strong base. It is proposed that methyl pyruvate is eliminated, in an E2 type of reaction.  相似文献
