1. A series of oligosaccharides was isolated from Salmonella milwaukee lipopolysaccharide by partial acid hydrolysis. 2. Structural studies on these oligosaccharides indicated that the O-specific side chain of this lipopolysaccharide has a repeating pentasaccharide unit that is probably alpha-d-galactosyl-(1-->3)-beta-d-galactosyl- (1-->3)-N-acetylgalactosaminyl-(1-->3)-N-acetyl- d-glucosaminyl-(1-->4)-l-fucose. 3. Another oligosaccharide, which is not structurally related to the repeating pentasaccharide unit, has also been isolated and it is indistinguishable from an oligosaccharide obtained from Salmonella ;rough' (R) lipopolysaccharides. The isolation of this and similar core oligosaccharides from all chemotype VI lipopolysaccharides supports the view that Salmonella S-lipopolysaccharides have a common core that is probably identical with RII lipopolysaccharide.  相似文献

Lipopolysaccharides of Salmonella T mutants   总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2       下载免费PDF全文
The composition of lipopolysaccharides derived from various Salmonella T forms was studied. All T1-form lipopolysaccharides examined contained 14 to 22% each of both d-galactose and pentose in addition to 4 to 9% each of ketodeoxyoctonic acid, heptose, d-glucosamine, and d-glucose. The pentose was identified as d-ribose. The T2-form lipopolysaccharide examined did not contain a significant amount of pentose, nor more than the usual amounts of d-galactose. Periodate oxidation of T1 (lipo) polysaccharides followed by NaBH(4) reduction revealed that ribose was almost quantitatively protected, galactose was destroyed, and threitol and mannose were newly formed. The latter two products probably originated from 4-linked galactose and heptose, respectively. Ribose and galactose were found in specific precipitates of T1 lipopolysaccharide with anti-T1 antiserum but were not found in specific precipitates of alkali-treated T1 lipopolysaccharide and of Freeman degraded polysaccharide with anti-T1 serum Ribose and galactose are present in these degraded preparations in the form of nondialyzable polymers. The T1-form mutant lipopolysaccharides lacked the O-specific sugars constituting the side-chains in the wild-type antigens. They did not produce the soluble O-specific haptenic polysaccharide known to be accumulated in RI strains. With these properties, T1 lipopolysaccharides resemble RII lipopolysaccharides. Like RII degraded polysaccharides, T1-degraded polysaccharides also contained glucosamine. Furthermore, strong cross-reactions were found to exist between T1 and RII lipopolysaccharides in both hemagglutination inhibition assays and in precipitation tests. It is proposed that T1 lipopolysaccharides represent RII lipopolysaccharides to which polymers consisting of ribose and galactose are attached.  相似文献

1. Lipopolysaccharides have been isolated from ;smooth' (S) strains of Salmonella friedenau and Salmonella poona by the phenol-water method and purified in the preparative ultracentrifuge. 2. These lipopolysaccharides are serologically indistinguishable and on partial acid hydrolysis the same series of oligosaccharides was obtained in each instance. 3. The results of quantitative micro-analysis, borohydride reduction, periodate oxidation, Morgan-Elson reactions and enzymic hydrolysis with beta-galactosidase on the isolated oligosaccharides indicate that the O-specific side chains of these lipopolysaccharides have a repeating pentasaccharide unit that is beta-d-galactosyl-(1-->3)-N-acetylgalactosaminyl-(1-->3)-N-acetylgalactosaminyl-(1-->4)-l-fucose with a d-glucose residue bound at an undetermined point on this structure. 4. Two oligosaccharides, a glucosyl-galactose and an N-acetylglucosaminylglucose, have also been isolated and these seem to be identical with oligosaccharides obtained from ;rough' (R) Salmonella lipopolysaccharides. These findings are in accordance with the view that Salmonella S-lipopolysaccharides have a core that consists of R-lipopolysaccharide.  相似文献

1. The lipopolysaccharides isolated from ;smooth' (S) strains of Salmonella godesberg and Salmonella urbana by the phenol-water method were purified in the ultracentrifuge. 2. These lipopolysaccharides have the same O-antigenic structure and on partial hydrolysis the same series of oligosaccharides was obtained in each instance. 3. The results of quantitative microanalysis, borohydride reduction, periodate oxidation, Morgan-Elson reactions and enzymic hydrolysis with alpha- and beta-glucosidases on the isolated oligosaccharides indicated that the O-specific side chains of these S-lipopolysaccharides have a repeating tetrasaccharide unit that is beta-d-glucosyl-(1-->3)-N-acetylgalactosaminyl-(1-->4)-l-fucose with a further glucose residue bound at the 4-position on the N-acetylgalactosamine. 4. Another oligosaccharide, a glucosylgalactose, has also been isolated and is indistinguishable from an oligosaccharide isolated from Salmonella R-lipopolysaccharides. These findings provide further evidence supporting the view that all Salmonella S-lipopolysaccharides have a core consisting of R-lipopolysaccharide.  相似文献

A soluble hydrophilic lipopolysaccharide, termed lipopolysaccharide II, isolated from Proteus mirabilis, strain D52 contained N-acetylglucosamine, glucose, galactose, ribitol phosphate and ethanolamine phosphate as constituents of the O-specific polysaccharide. Periodate oxidation studies were carried out on the polymer before and after dephosphorylation with hydrofluoric acid and on oligosaccharides derived from the polymer by partial acid hydrolysis. The results obtained indicate that the polysaccharide chain consists of the chemical repeating unit Gal-1,3(4)-GlcNAc-1,3-Glc-1,3-GlcNAc-, where GlcNAc stands for N-acetylglucosamine. Whereas the galactose residue is substituted at C-3 by ribitol phosphate, the glucose is substituted by ethanolamine phosphate at C-6.  相似文献

The type R3 core oligosaccharide predominates in the lipopolysaccharides from enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli isolates including O157:H7. The R3 core biosynthesis (waa) genetic locus contains two genes, waaD and waaJ, that are predicted to encode glycosyltransferases involved in completion of the outer core. Through determination of the structures of the lipopolysaccharide core in precise mutants and biochemical analyses of enzyme activities, WaaJ was shown to be a UDP-glucose:(galactosyl) lipopolysaccharide alpha-1,2-glucosyltransferase, and WaaD was shown to be a UDP-glucose:(glucosyl)lipopolysaccharide alpha-1,2-glucosyltransferase. The residue added by WaaJ was identified as the ligation site for O polysaccharide, and this was confirmed by determination of the structure of the linkage region in serotype O157 lipopolysaccharide. The initial O157 repeat unit begins with an N-acetylgalactosamine residue in a beta-anomeric configuration, whereas the biological repeat unit for O157 contains alpha-linked N-acetylgalactosamine residues. With the characterization of WaaJ and WaaD, the activities of all of the enzymes encoded by the R3 waa locus are either known or predicted from homology data with a high level of confidence. However, when core oligosaccharide structure is considered, the origin of an additional alpha-1,3-linked N-acetylglucosamine residue in the outer core is unknown. The gene responsible for a nonstoichiometric alpha-1,7-linked N-acetylglucosamine substituent in the heptose (inner core) region was identified on the large virulence plasmids of E. coli O157 and Shigella flexneri serotype 2a. This is the first plasmid-encoded core oligosaccharide biosynthesis enzyme reported in E. coli.  相似文献

The O-specific polysaccharide obtained from Shigella dysenteriae type-2 lipopolysaccharide by mild acid hydrolysis consisted of N-acetylgalactosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, D-galactose, D-glucose, and O-acetyl group in the ratio of 2:1:1:1:1. A number of oligosaccharides were obtained by deamination of the N-deacetylated polysaccharide and by Smith degradation of the both native and O-deacetylated polysaccharides. The identification of oligosaccharides along with methylation analysis and chromic anhydride oxidation showed that the polysaccharide was built up of the repeating pentasaccharide units whose proposed structure is given below: (see article) Serological properties of Sh. dysenteriae O-specific polysaccharides are discussed.  相似文献

The waa locus on the chromosome of Salmonella enterica encodes enzymes involved in the assembly of the core oligosaccharide region of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecule. To date, there are two known core structures in Salmonella, represented by serovars Typhimurium (subspecies I) and Arizonae (subspecies IIIA). The waa locus for serovar Typhimurium has been characterized. Here, the corresponding locus from serovar Arizonae is described, and the molecular basis for the distinctive structures is established. Eleven of the 13 open reading frames (ORFs) are shared by the two loci and encode conserved proteins of known function. Two polymorphic regions distinguish the waa loci. One involves the waaK gene, the product of which adds a terminal alpha-1,2-linked N-acetylglucosamine residue that characterizes the serovar Typhimurium core oligosaccharide. There is an extensive internal deletion within waaK of serovar Arizonae. The serovar Arizonae locus contains a novel ORF (waaH) between the waaB and waaP genes. Structural analyses and in vitro glycosyltransferase assays identified WaaH as the UDP-glucose:(glucosyl) LPS alpha-1,2-glucosyltransferase responsible for the addition of the characteristic terminal glucose residue found in serovar Arizonae. Isolates comprising the Salmonella Reference Collections, SARC (representing the eight subspecies of S. enterica) and SARB (representing subspecies I), were examined to assess the distribution of the waa locus polymorphic regions in natural populations. These comparative studies identified additional waa locus polymorphisms, shedding light on the genetic basis for diversity in the LPS core oligosaccharides of Salmonella isolates and identifying potential sources of further novel LPS structures.  相似文献

The outer membrane layer of the cell wall was isolated from wild-type Salmonella typhimurium LT2 as well as from its mutants producing lipopolysaccharides with shorter saccharide chains. Chemical analysis of these preparations indicated the following. (i) The number of lipopolysaccharide molecules per unit area was constant, regardless of the length of the saccharide side chain in lipopolysaccharide. (ii) In contrast, in "deep rough" (Rd or Re) mutants producing the lipopolysaccharides with very short saccharide chains, the amount of outer membrane protein per unit surface area decreased to about 60% of the value in the wild type. (iii) In the wild type, the amount of phospholipids is slightly less than what is needed to cover one side of the membrane as a monolayer. In comparison with the wild type, the outer membrane of Rd and Re mutants contains about 70% more phospholipids, which therefore must be distributed in both the outer and inner leaflets of the membrane. Freeze-fracture studies showed that the outer membrane of Re mutants were easily fractured, but fracture became increasingly difficult in strains producing lipopolysaccharides with longer side chains. The convex fracture face was always nearly smooth, but the concave fracture face or the outer half of the membrane was densely covered with particles 8 to 10 nm in diameter. The density of particles was decreased in Re mutants to the same extent as the reduction in proteins, suggesting the largely proteinaceous nature of particles. A model for the supramolecular structure of the outer membrane is presented on the basis of these and other results.  相似文献

The lipopolysaccharide receptors for the mutator bacteriophages Mu, MuhP1, and D108 were investigated with lipopolysaccharide mutants of Salmonella typhimurium LT2. Mu adsorbed only to mutants lacking the terminal O antigen but retaining the main chain sugars of the core; the side chain N-acetylglucosamine was not required. MuhP1 and D108 adsorbed partially to cells with the same receptors but adsorbed well only to cells with shorter lipopolysaccharides of the Rc and Rd1 chemotypes.  相似文献

The structure of the hexose region of the lipopolysaccharide from M206 strain, a mutant of Salmonella typhimurium having reduced virulence, was partially determined. Immunological tests indicated cross-reactions of anti-(M206) antiserum with wild-type C5 and Ra mutant strains. Data obtained on chemical composition, periodate oxidation, acetolysis, methylation and analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry show that M206 type lipopolysaccharide contains the common core polysaccharide of Salmonella which was substituted in position 4 of the subterminal glucose unit by a disaccharide: D-glucosyl 1----3 D-galactose. This substitution is probably related to the slight virulence of M206 strain.  相似文献

Bacteriophage P22 binds to its cell surface receptor, the repetitive O-antigen structure in Salmonella lipopolysaccharide, by its six homotrimeric tailspikes. Receptor binding by soluble tailspikes and the receptor-inactivating endorhamnosidase activity of the tailspike protein were studied using octa- and dodecasaccharides comprising two and three O-antigen repeats of Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium lipopolysaccharides. Wild-type tailspike protein and three mutants (D392N, D395N, and E359Q) with defective endorhamnosidase activity were used. Oligosaccharide binding to all three subunits, measured by a tryptophan fluorescence quench or by fluorescence depolarization of a coumarin label attached to the reducing end of the dodecasaccharide, occurs independently. At 10 degrees C, the binding affinities of all four proteins to oligosaccharides from both bacterial strains are identical within experimental error, and the binding constants for octa- and dodecasaccharides are 1 x 10(6) M(-1) and 2 x 10(6) M(-1), proving that two O-antigen repeats are sufficient for lipopolysaccharide recognition by the tailspike. Equilibration with the oligosaccharides occurs rapidly, but the endorhamnosidase produces only one cleavage every 100 s at 10 degrees C or about 2 min(-1) at the bacterial growth temperature. Thus, movement of virions in the lipopolysaccharide layer before DNA injection may involve the release and rebinding of individual tailspikes rather than hydrolysis of the O-antigen.  相似文献

The lipopolysaccharide of Plesiomonas shigelloides serotype O74:H5 (strain CNCTC 144/92) was obtained with the hot phenol/water method, but unlike most of the S-type enterobacterial lipopolysaccharides, the O-antigens were preferentially extracted into the phenol phase. The poly- and oligosaccharides released by mild acidic hydrolysis of the lipopolysaccharide from both phenol and water phases were separated and investigated by (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, and sugar and methylation analysis. The O-specific polysaccharide and oligosaccharides consisting of the core, the core with one repeating unit, and the core with two repeating units were isolated. It was concluded that the O-specific polysaccharide is composed of a trisaccharide repeating unit with the [-->2)-beta-d-Quip3NAcyl-(1-->3)-alpha-l-Rhap2OAc-(1-->3)-alpha-d-FucpNAc-(1-->] structure, in which d-Qui3NAcyl is 3-amino-3,6-dideoxy-d-glucose acylated with 3-hydroxy-2,3-dimethyl-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid. The major oligosaccharide consisted of a single repeating unit and a core oligosaccharide. This undecasaccharide contains information about the biological repeating unit and the type and position of the linkage between the O-specific chain and core. The presence of a terminal beta-d-Quip3NAcyl-(1--> residue and the -->3)-beta-d-FucpNAc-(1-->4)-alpha-d-GalpA element showed the structure of the biological repeating unit of the O-antigen and the substitution position to the core. The -->3)-beta-d-FucpNAc-(1--> residue has the anomeric configuration inverted compared to the same residue in the repeating unit. The core oligosaccharide was composed of a nonphosphorylated octasaccharide, which represents a novel core type of P. shigelloides LPS characteristic of serotype O74. The similarity between the isolated O-specific polysaccharide and that found on intact bacterial cells and lipopolysaccharide was confirmed by HR-MAS NMR experiments.  相似文献

Untreated and partially deacylated lipopolysaccharides from various P- and P+ strains of Salmonella were studied with 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and by conventional analytical methods. The spectral signals were assigned to various phosphate groups in the lipid A moiety and in the oligosaccharide part. A signal at +2.3 ppm could be assigned to a phosphodiester linkage formed between 4-amino-4-deoxyl-L-arabinose linked via the glycosidic hydroxyl group to the 4'-phosphate group of the glucosamine disaccharide in the lipid A moiety. A strong pyrophosphate signal at +11 ppm in P- strains was identified as a pyrophosphoryl ethanolamine group at the glycosidic end of this glucosamine disaccharide unit. No evidence was found for phosphodiester or pyrophosphodiester bonds crosslinking lipopolysaccharide 'subunits'. A revised version of the lipid A structure of Salmonella is presented. By a combination of 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy data and conventional analytical methods the extent to which the lipopolysaccharides are substituted by various phosphate groups on the lipid A and the oligosaccharide moiety could be estimated. It was thus shown that substantial heterogeneity, leading to several molecular species of lipopolysaccharides is caused by addition or omission of certain groups. Since changes in substitution were found to be dependent on the growth conditions, it is thought possible that the overall negative surface charge of Salmonella can be modified by addition or omission of neutralising amino groups from ethanolamine and/or 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose, and can thus be adapted to the environment.  相似文献

The adsorption rate constant (ARC) of the Felix O-1 (FO) bacteriophage to sensitive Salmonella strains was used to determine the effect of variations in surface antigens on phage attachment. The N-acetylglucosamine of the common-core polysaccharide of the Salmonella lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was found to be an essential part of the receptor for the FO phage in conformation with earlier reports. It was found that (i) the ARC was low for strains having O side chains containing two or three non core monosaccharides, (ii) the ARC varied when the O side chain contained no, or only one, noncore monosaccharide, (iii) the ARC was high when the O side chain contained only one repeating unit, and (iv) the ARC was high to mutants of chemotype Ra in which the N-acetylglucosamine was the terminal sugar of the LPS. Since a good correlation was found between the ARC of the FO phage and the phage-inactivating capacity of phenol water-extracted LPS, the results suggest that only the structure and composition of the LPS determines the adsorption rate of the FO phage. The phage-inactivating capacity of LPS from the Ra mutants increased in parallel with higher glucosamine contents in the core polysaccharide. In smooth strains having long and numerous O side chains, the access of the FO phage to its receptor is probably blocked by the presence of the side chains, whereas short and numerous side chains or T1 side chains do not interfere with the FO attachment.  相似文献

The biochemical defect in a class of Salmonella typhimurium mutants (rfaB) defective in biosynthesis of the lipopolysaccharide core is described. Structural, immunochemical and enzymologic studies showed that: (i) the core polysaccharide completely lacked the branch alpha 1,6-D-galactosyl residue of the normal lipopolysaccharide as shown by methylation analysis and 1H nmr spectroscopy; (ii) the mutant lipopolysaccharides acted as acceptors for transfer of D-galactose from UDP-D-galactose into alpha 1,6 linkage to the proximal D-glucosyl residue of the core in a reaction catalyzed by an enzyme activity present in extracts from rfaB+ cells; (iii) the UDP-D-galactose:(glucosyl)lipopolysaccharide alpha 1,6-D-galactosyltransferase activity was absent from extracts of rfaB cells.  相似文献

Two different oligosaccharides were obtained from the Smith degradation of the O-polysaccharide isolated from the lipopolysaccharide of Salmonella Dakar. The structures of these oligosaccharides were investigated by chemical analysis, NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The following structures of these products were determined: alpha-D-GalpNAc-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Quip3NAc-(1-->3)-alpha-L-Rhap-(1-->2)-threitol and [FORMULA: SEE TEXT] where Quip3NAc is 3-acetamido-3,6-dideoxyglucose. The reaction products confirmed the structure of the repeating unit of the Salmonella Dakar O-polysaccharide reported previously [Kumirska, J.; Szafranek, J.; Czerwicka, M.; Paszkiewicz, M.; Dziadziuszko, H.; Kunikowska, D.; Stepnowski, P. Carbohydr. Res. 2007,342, 2138-2143].  相似文献

alpha-D-Man-(1----2)-alpha-D-Man-(1----3)-D-Gal, a structural fragment of the main chain of Salmonella serogroups C2 and C3 O-specific polysaccharides, and the isomer with the central residue beta have been synthesised, as have some oligosaccharides related to the structure of the O-specific polysaccharide of S. kentucky (serogroup C3), namely, alpha-D-Glc-(1----4)-D-Gal, alpha-D-Man-(1----3)-[alpha-D-Glc-(1----4)]-D-Gal, and alpha-D-Man-(1----2)-alpha-D-Man-(1----3)-[alpha-D-Glc-(1----4)]-D-Gal, and the isomers with the D-Glc unit beta. Each oligosaccharide was converted into the alpha-glycosyl phosphate.  相似文献

Abstract The structure of the hexose region of the lipopolysaccharide from M206 strain, a mutant of Salmonella typhimurium having reduced virulence, was partially determined. Immunological tests indicated cross-reactions of anti-(M206) antiserum with wild-type C5 and Ra mutant strains. Data obtained on chemical composition, periodate oxidation, acetolysis, methylation and analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry show that M206 type lipopolysaccharide contains the common core polysaccharide of Salmonella which was substituted in position 4 of the subterminal glucose unit by a disaccharide: d -glucosyl 1 → 3 d -galactose. This substitution is probably related to the slight virulence of M206 strain.  相似文献

The asparagine-linked oligosaccharides of the complex acidic-type from [3H]mannose-, [3H]glucosamine- or [3H]galactose-labelled membrane glycoproteins of BHK21 cells and Rous-sarcoma virus were analysed by gel filtration combined with extensive digestion with endo- and exo-glycosidases from bacterial and eukaryotic sources. The neutral products from the digestion with a mixture of exoglycosidases and endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase D from Diplococcus pneumoniae included a series of [3H]mannose- and [3H]glucosamine-labelled neutral oligosaccharides that were all converted by digestion with eukaryotic beta-N-acetylglucosaminidases into free N-acetylglucosamine and a small oligomannosyl core containing two alpha-linked mannose residues and a third mannose residue beta-linked to N-acetylglucosamine. These studies suggested that the complex acidic-type oligosaccharides from cellular and viral membrane glycoproteins contained a common oligomannosyl core region (Man2 alpha leads to Man beta leads to GlcNAc2), with heterogeneity in the number and/or linkage of outer branch N-acetylglucosamine residues resulting in partial resistance to beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase from a bacterial source.  相似文献
