Two polymeric water-soluble fractions were isolated by gel filtration after mild acid hydrolysis of the lipopolysaccharide from Pseudomonas aeruginosa N.C.T.C. 1999. The fraction of higher molecular weight retained the O-antigenic specificity of the lipopolysaccharide and may be 'side-chain' material. This fraction was rich in N (about 10%) and gave several basic amino compounds on acid hydrolysis; fucosamine (at least 2.8% w/w) was the only specifc component identified. The fraction of lower molecular weight was a phosphorylated polysaccharide apparently corresponding to 'core' material. The major components of this fraction and their approximate molar proportions were: glucose (3-4); rhamnose (1); heptose (2); 3-deoxy-2-octulonic acid (1); galactosamine (1); alanine (1-1.5); phosphorus (6-7). In the intact lipopolysaccharide this fraction was probably linked to lipid A via a second residue of 3-deoxy-2-octulonic acid, and probably also contained additional phosphate residues and ethanolamine. The residues of 3-deoxy-2-octulonic acid were apparently substituted in the C-4 or C-5 position, and the phosphorylated heptose residues in the C-3 position. The rhamnose was mainly 2-substituted, though a little 3-substitution was detected. The glucose residues were either unsubstituted or 6-substituted. Four neutral oligosaccharides were produced by partial acid hydrolysis and were characterized by chemical, enzymic, chromatographic and mass-spectrometric methods of analysis. The structures assigned were: Glcpalpha1-6Glc; Glcpbeta1-2Rha; Rhapalpha1-6Glc; Glcpbeta1-2Rhapalpha1-6Glc. The galactosamine was substituted in the C-3 or C-4 position, the attachment of alanine was indicated, and evidence that the amino sugar linked the glucose-rhamnose region to the 'inner core' was obtained. 相似文献

Role of amino acids and endogenous protein in the germination of Mucor racemosus sporangiospores 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The role of amino acids as triggers of Mucor racemosus sporangiospore germination was investigated. No single amino acid was effective as glucose or peptone at triggering germination. Germination induced by glucose or peptone was pH-independent, whereas germination induced by glutamate was pH-dependent. The composition of the free amino acid pools of M-spores (those unable to germinate on glutamate) was qualitatively and quantitatively similar to that of C-spores (those capable of germinating on glutamate) with the exceptions of hydroxyproline and methionine and methionine whose concentrations were several-fold higher in C-spores. Glutamate and leucine were taken up by germinating and nongerminating spores; however, significant protein synthesis occurred only in germinating spores. Spores not triggered by 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (M-spores) contained about one-half the protein of those triggered by 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (C-spores). C-spores initiated to germinate by 3-O-methyl-D-glucose decreased in total organic carbon and protein over a 6 h period; removal of the 3-O-methyl-D-glucose resulted in an immediate halt of protein degradation and spore swelling. These results suggest that protein is a major endogenous reserve in M. racemosus sporangiospores and that its turnover is a necessary event for glucose-triggered germination. 相似文献

The lipopolysaccharide from Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCTC 8505. Structure of the O-specific polysaccharide 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Structural studies have been carried out on the O-specific fraction from the lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCTC 8505, Habs serotype 03. The O-specific polysaccharide has a tetrasaccharide repeating-unit containing residues of L-rhamnose (Rha), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (GlcNAc), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-L-galacturonic acid (GalNAcA), and 2,4-diacetamido-2,4,6-trideoxy-D-glucose (BacNAc2). The following structure has been assigned to the repeating-unit: leads to 3)Rhap(beta 1 leads to 6)GlcpNAc(alpha 1 leads to 4)GalpNAcA(alpha 1 leads to 3)BacpNAc2(alpha 1 leads to. The parent lipopolysaccharide is a mixture of S, R, and SR species, and its high phosphorus content is partly due to the presence of triphosphate residues, as found for other lipopolysaccharides from P. aeruginosa. In addition to phosphorus, heptose, a 3-deoxyoctulosonic acid, and amide-bound alanine, the core oligosaccharide contains glucose, rhamnose, and galactosamine (molar proportions 3:1:1). The rhamnose and part of the glucose are present as unsubstituted pyranoside residues: other glucose residues are 6-substituted. 相似文献

Studies of the lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas alcaligenes strain BR 1/2 were extended to the polysaccharide moiety. The crude polysaccharide, obtained by mild acid hydrolysis of the lipopolysaccharide, was fractionated by gel filtration. The major fraction was the phosphorylated polysaccharide, for which the approximate proportions of residues were; glucose (2), rhamnose (0.7), heptose (2-3), galactosamine (1), alanine (1), 3-deoxy-2-octulonic acid (1), phosphorus (5-6). The heptose was l-glycero-d-manno-heptose. The minor fractions from gel filtration contained free 3-deoxy-2-octulonic acid, P(i) and PP(i). The purified polysaccharide was studied by periodate oxidation, methylation analysis, partial hydrolysis, and dephosphorylation. All the rhamnose and part of the glucose and heptose occur as non-reducing terminal residues. Other glucose residues are 3-substituted, and most heptose residues are esterified with condensed phosphate residues, possibly in the C-4 position. Free heptose and a heptosylglucose were isolated from a partial hydrolysate of the polysaccharide. The location of galactosamine in the polysaccharide was not established, but either the C-3 or C-4 position appears to be substituted and a linkage to alanine was indicated. In its composition, the polysaccharide from Ps. alcaligenes resembles core polysaccharides from other pseudomonads: no possible side-chain polysaccharide was detected. 相似文献

A novel phosphonoglycosphingolipid named SGL-I containing 3 mol of 2-aminoethylphosphonate residues was isolated from the skin of a sea gastropod, Aplysia kurodai. The saccharide moiety of the glycolipid was characterized as 4-O-methyl-GlcNAc alpha 1----4GalNAc alpha-1----3 [6'-O-(2-aminoethylphosphonyl)Gal alpha 1----2] (2-aminoethylphosphonyl----6)Gal beta 1----4(2-aminoethylphosphonyl----6) Glc beta 1----1-ceramide. The major aliphatic components of the ceramide portion were palmitic acid, stearic acid, octadeca-4-sphingenine, and anteisononadeca-4-sphingenine. This glycolipid is unique in containing 4-O-methyl-N-acetylglucosamine and 3 mol of 2-aminoethylphosphonate residues, one of which is attached to C-6 of glucose. 相似文献

An enzyme activity that catalyzes hydrolysis of an alpha-(1----4)-linked 6-O-methyl-D-glucan was detected in, and purified from, Rhizopus oryzae mold. The enzyme acts like an alpha amylase and digests unmodified amylo-oligosaccharides 10 to 15 times as fast as it does the 6-O-methyl and 6-deoxy derivatives. When the limit product obtained by digesting the mycobacterial O-methyl-D-glucose polysaccharide with pancreatic alpha amylase and Aspergillus glucoamylase was further digested with the Rhizopus alpha amylase, di-, tri-, and tetra-saccharide fragments composed of alpha-(1----4)-linked 6-O-methyl-D-glucose were released. The rest of the molecule was recovered as oligosaccharides terminated by two, or three, alpha-(1----4)-linked 6-O-methyl-D-glucose residues. 相似文献

The glucose analog, 3-O-methyl-D-glucose, inhibited growth of yeast on non-fermentable carbon sources. The sugar was phosphorylated by the yeast and also in vitro by a commercial preparation of yeast hexokinase. The chromatographic behaviour of the phosphorylated product was identical in both cases. This suggests that 3-O-methyl-D-glucose is phosphorylated to form 3-O-methyl-D-glucose 6-phosphate. The inhibition of the growth appears to be due to interference with the derepression of several enzymes necessary to grow on non-fermentable carbon sources. Spontaneous mutants whose growth was unaffected by 3-O-methyl-D-glucose were isolated. In these mutants there was no significant accumulation of the phosphorylated ester and the derepression of the enzymes tested was not affected by the glucose analog. 相似文献

An Hg-sensitive channel mediates the diffusional component of glucose transport in olive cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Conde C Silva P Agasse A Tavares RM Delrot S Gerós H 《Biochimica et biophysica acta》2007,1768(11):2801-2811
In several organisms solute transport is mediated by the simultaneous operation of saturable and non-saturable (diffusion-like) uptake, but often the nature of the diffusive component remains elusive. The present work investigates the nature of the diffusive glucose transport in Olea europaea cell cultures. In this system, glucose uptake is mediated by a glucose-repressible, H(+) -dependent active saturable transport system that is superimposed on a diffusional component. The latter represents the major mode of uptake when high external glucose concentrations are provided. In glucose-sufficient cells, initial velocities of D- and L-[U-(14)C]glucose uptake were equal and obeyed linear concentration dependence up to 100 mM sugar. In sugar starved cells, where glucose transport is mediated by the saturable system, countertransport of the sugar pairs 3-O-methyl-D-glucose/D-[U-(14)C]glucose and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose/3-O-methyl-D-[U-(14)C]glucose was demonstrated. This countertransport was completely absent in glucose-sufficient cells, indicating that linear glucose uptake is not mediated by a typical sugar permease. The endocytic inhibitors wortmannin-A and NH(4)Cl inhibited neither the linear component of D- and L-glucose uptake nor the absorption of the nonmetabolizable glucose analog 3-O-methyl-D-[U-(14)C]glucose, thus excluding the involvement of endocytic mediated glucose uptake. Furthermore, the formation of endocytic vesicles assessed with the marker FM1-43 proceeded at a very slow rate. Activation energies for glucose transport in glucose sufficient cells and plasma membrane vesicles were 7 and 4 kcal mol(-1), respectively, lower than the value estimated for diffusion of glucose through the lipid bilayer of phosphatidylethanolamine liposomes (12 kcal mol(-1)). Mercury chloride inhibited both the linear component of sugar uptake in sugar sufficient cells and plasma membrane vesicles, and the incorporation of the fluorescent glucose analog 2-NBDG, suggesting protein-mediated transport. Diffusive uptake of glucose was inhibited by a drop in cytosolic pH and stimulated by the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine. The data demonstrate that the low-affinity, high-capacity, diffusional component of glucose uptake occurs through a channel-like structure whose transport capacity may be regulated by intracellular protonation and phosphorylation/dephosphorylation. 相似文献

The binding of the gelsolin P2 peptide (residues 150-169) with lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was investigated by isothermal titration calorimetry. P2 binds to LPS with higher affinity than to LPA. For the interaction of 1-oleoyl-LPA with P2 in the absence of salt, K(d) and deltaH degrees were 920 nM and -2.07 kcal/mol, respectively, at pH 7.4 and 25 degrees C. For the interaction of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from P. aeruginosa with P2 under the same conditions, K(d) was 177 nM and deltaH degrees was -7.6 kcal/mol. 相似文献

The importance of 3-O- and 6-O-sulfated glucosamine residues within the heparin octasaccharide iduronic acid(1)----N-acetylglucosamine 6-O-sulfate(2)----glucuronic acid(3)----N-sulfated glucosamine 3,6-di-O-sulfate(4)----iduronic acid 2-O-sulfate(5)----N-sulfated glucosamine 6-O-sulfate(6)----iduronic acid 2-O-sulfate(7)----anhydromannitol 6-O-sulfate(8) was determined by comparing with synthetic tetra- and penta-saccharides its ability to bind human antithrombin. The octasaccharide had an affinity for antithrombin of 1 X 10(-8) M (10.2 kcal/mol) measured by intrinsic fluorescence enhancement at 6 degrees C. The synthetic pentasaccharide, consisting of residues 2-6, had an affinity of 3 X 10(-8) M (9.6 kcal/mol). The same pentasaccharide, except lacking the 3-O-sulfate on residue 4, had an affinity of 5 X 10(-4) M (4.5 kcal/mol) measured by equilibrium dialysis. The tetrasaccharide, consisting of residues 2-5, bound antithrombin with an affinity of 5 X 10(-6) M (6.8 kcal/mol). The tetrasaccharide, consisting of residues 3-6, had an affinity of 5 X 10(-5) M (5.5 kcal/mol). Since the loss of either the 6-O-sulfated residue 2 or the 3-O-sulfate of residue 4 results in a 4-5 kcal/mol or a 40-50% loss in binding energy of the pentasaccharide, these two residues must be the major contributors to the binding and must be linked to the biologic activity of the octasaccharide. 相似文献

The facultative intracellular pathogen Bartonella henselae is responsible for a broad range of clinical manifestations, including the formation of vascular tumors as a result of increased proliferation and survival of colonized endothelial cells. This remarkable interaction with endotoxin-sensitive endothelial cells and the apparent lack of septic shock are considered to be due to a reduced endotoxic activity of the B. henselae lipopolysaccharide. Here, we show that B. henselae ATCC 49882(T) produces a deep-rough-type lipopolysaccharide devoid of O-chain and report on its complete structure and Toll-like receptor-dependent biological activity. The major short-chain lipopolysaccharide was studied by chemical analyses, electrospray ionization, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry, as well as by NMR spectroscopy after alkaline deacylation. The carbohydrate portion of the lipopolysaccharide consists of a branched trisaccharide containing a glucose residue attached to position 5 of an alpha-(2-->4)-linked 3-deoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid disaccharide. Lipid A is a pentaacylated beta-(1'-->6)-linked 2,3-diamino-2,3-dideoxy-glucose disaccharide 1,4'-bisphosphate with two amide-linked residues each of 3-hydroxydodecanoic and 3-hydroxyhexadecanoic acids and one residue of either 25-hydroxyhexacosanoic or 27-hydroxyoctacosanoic acid that is O-linked to the acyl group at position 2'. The lipopolysaccharide studied activated Toll-like receptor 4 signaling only to a low extent (1,000-10,000-fold lower compared with that of Salmonella enterica sv. Friedenau) and did not activate Toll-like receptor 2. Some unusual structural features of the B. henselae lipopolysaccharide, including the presence of a long-chain fatty acid, which are shared by the lipopolysaccharides of other bacteria causing chronic intracellular infections (e.g. Legionella and Chlamydia), may provide the molecular basis for low endotoxic potency. 相似文献

The transport of D-glucose into rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) hepatocytes, as well as into rainbow trout hepatoblastoma cell line RTH-149 was studied using tracer methods. The half-time for D-glucose equilibration was 15 s for rainbow trout. The half-times for the non-metabolizable D-glucose analog, 3-O-methyl-D-glucose equilibration were 8 s, 37 s and 38 s for rainbow trout, lamprey and RTH-149 cells, respectively. The 3-O-methyl-D-glucose was taken up by rainbow trout hepatocytes by facilitated diffusion in addition to simple diffusion. The uptake showed saturation kinetics with the K(m) of 37 mM and V(max) of 62 mmol kg(-1) cells min(-1). The uptake was sensitive to phloretin and cytochalasin B, but not affected by ouabain. The 3-O-methyl-D-glucose uptake by lamprey hepatocytes and RTH-149 cells showed no indication of saturation up to 160 mM, and was not affected by phloretin, cytochalasin B or ouabain, which suggests the mode of transport to be by passive diffusion. However, immunocytochemical stainings revealed the existence of mammalian type GLUT1 and GLUT2 transporters in all cells studied. The lack of a functioning carrier-mediated glucose uptake in lamprey hepatocytes might be due to its physiological state (prespawning starvation). The minor 3-O-methyl-D-glucose uptake into RTH-149 cells compared to freshly isolated rainbow trout hepatocytes might reflect low metabolic activity of the cell lines. Under the conditions applied the RTH-149 cell line is no suitable in vitro model for glucose transport in fish cells. 相似文献

The analog of D-glucose, 3-O-methyl-D-glucose, is thought to delay the equilibration of D-glucose concentration across the plasma membrane of pancreatic islet B-cells, but not to exert any marked inhibitory action upon the late phase of glucose-stimulated insulin release. In this study, however, 3-O-methyl-D-glucose, when tested in high concentrations (30-80 mM) was found to cause a rapid, sustained and not rapidly reversible inhibition of glucose-induced insulin release in rat pancreatic islets. In relative terms, the inhibitory action of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose was more marked at low than high concentrations of D-glucose. It could not be attributed to hyperosmolarity and appeared specific for the insulinotropic action of D-glucose, as distinct from non-glucidic nutrient secretagogues. Although 3-O-methyl-D-glucose and D-glucose failed to exert any reciprocal effect upon the steady-state value for the net uptake of these monosaccharides by the islets, the glucose analog inhibited D-[5-3H]glucose utilization and D-[U-14C]glucose oxidation. This coincided with increased 86Rb outflow and decreased 45Ca outflow from prelabelled islets, as well as decreased 45Ca net uptake. A preferential effect of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose upon the first phase of glucose-stimulated insulin release was judged compatible with an altered initial rate of D-glucose entry into islet B-cells. The long-term inhibitory action of the glucose analog upon the metabolic and secretory response to D-glucose, however, may be due, in part at least, to an impaired rate of D-glucose phosphorylation. The phosphorylation of the hexose by beef heart hexokinase and human B-cell glucokinase, as well as by parotid and islet homogenates, was indeed inhibited by 3-O-methyl-D-glucose. The relationship between insulin release and D-glucose utilization or oxidation in the presence of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose was not different from that otherwise observed at increasing concentrations of either D-glucose or D-mannoheptulose. It is concluded, therefore, that 3-O-methyl-D-glucose adversely affects the metabolism and insulinotropic action of D-glucose by a mechanism largely unrelated to changes in the intracellular concentration of the latter hexose. 相似文献

Strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were treated with pyocin 611 131 (pyocin 103) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA103, and isogenic resistant variants were isolated. The interaction of pyocin-sensitive and isogenic pyocin-resistant strains with wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) agglutinated all pyocin-sensitive, but not pyocin-resistant, strains. Binding of WGA to three pyocin-sensitive strains and their isogenic pyocin-resistant variants was examined quantitatively by using fluorescein-conjugated lectin. Pyocin-resistant strains maximally bound one-third to one-eighth the quantity of WGA bound by isogenic-sensitive strains. Linear Scatchard plots revealed homogeneous WGA-binding sites on three pyocin-sensitive and one pyocin-resistant strains. Biphasic Scatchard plots, obtained with two pyocin-resistant strains, show that WGA-binding sites in these strains are heterogeneous. The number of WGA-binding sites for pyocin-sensitive organisms ranged from 8 x 10(5) to 1 x 10(6) sites per coccus and from 1 x 10(5) to 3 x 10(5) sites per coccus for pyocin-resistant strains. The apparent association constant for WGA binding to pyocin-sensitive strains ranged from 3 x 10(6) to 6 x 10(6) liters/mol and from 6 x 10(6) to 1 x 10(7) liters/mol for pyocin-resistant strains. Gonococcal lipopolysaccharide was shown to serve as the pyocin 103 receptor by inhibition of pyocin activity. Lipopolysaccharide from a pyocin 103-resistant strain was not able to inhibit pyocin 103 activity. Pyocin 103 resistance was correlated with a structural alteration involving N-acetylglucosamine residues in gonococcal lipopolysaccharide. Based on interactions with wheat germ, soybean, and ricin lectins, a model of lipopolysaccharide structure in N. gonorrhoeae is presented. 相似文献

A particulate fraction from a T1 form of Salmonella typhimurium incorporated radioactivity from uridine diphosphate (UDP)-(14)C-glucose into products associated with the particulate enzyme. A major fraction of the incorporated radioactivity was found in the cell wall lipopolysaccharide fraction. Acid hydrolysis of incorporation products produced labeled galactose, ribose, and also glucose. The incorporation of glucose could be dissociated from the incorporation of galactose and ribose under certain conditions, and was assumed to represent incorporation into a polymer not related to T1 antigen. The incorporation of galactose and ribose probably represented the synthesis of T1 side chains of lipopolysaccharide, because (i) particulate fractions from non-T1 strains incorporated much less of these sugars and (ii) periodate oxidation and borohydride reduction converted a large portion of incorporated galactose residues into arabinose. The latter finding indicates that the galactose residues are galactofuranosides substituted either at C2 or C3; about 70% of the galactose residues in T1 side chains are known to be galactofuranosides substituted at C3. UDP-(14)C-galactose preparation used was not contaminated by UDP-(14)C-galactofuranose; therefore pyranose-to-furanose conversion must have taken place at some step during the reactions described above. The mechanism of conversion of galactose to ribose is not clear, but it was not found to involve a selective elimination of C1 or C6 of galactose or glucose. 相似文献

The structure of the lipopolysaccharide of Haemophilus influenzae mutant strain, RM.118-26, was investigated. Electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry on intact lipopolysaccharide, O-deacylated lipopolysaccharide and core oligosaccharides obtained from lipopolysaccharide after mild acid hydrolysis provided information on the composition and relative abundance of the glycoforms. Oligosaccharide samples were studied in detail using high-field NMR techniques. The structure of the major glycoform containing phosphocholine is identical to the Hex2 glycoform described for H. influenzae RM.118-28 [Risberg, A., Schweda, E.K.H. & Jansson, P.-E. (1997) Eur. J. Biochem. 243, 701-707]. A second major glycoform, containing three hexose residues (Hex3), in which a lactose unit, beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp, is attached at the O-2 position of the terminal heptose of the inner core element, L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-->2)-L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-->3)-[beta-D-Glcp-( 1-->4)-]- L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-->5)-alpha-Kdo, carries no phosphocholine. Instead this lipopolysaccharide glycoform is partly (40%) substituted by an O-acetyl group linked to the 6-position of the glucose residue in the lactose unit and has the following structure: 相似文献

A good yield mild fractionation procedure was developed for the purification of mannans from green and roasted coffee infusions that included anion-exchange chromatography and phenylboronic acid immobilized Sepharose chromatography of the dialyzed and ethanol precipitated material. Enzymatic hydrolysis with endo-beta-mannanase and ESIMS allowed finding that the mannans from roasted coffee infusions, as well as those from green coffee, are acetylated (8 mol% and 11 mol%, respectively). Fragmentation pattern obtained by ESIMS/MS analysis of the acetylated oligosaccharide ions indicates that the acetylation also occurs at O-2 of the mannose residues. Doubly acetylated and contiguously acetylated hexose residues were also found. Arabinose residues, as side chains, were also found as structural features of hot water soluble green (2%) and roasted (<0.9 mol) coffee galactomannans. Methylation analysis, hydrolysis with specific glycosidases and GC-EIMS analysis of the reduced and methylated oligosaccharides allowed to conclude that beta-(1-->4)-linked glucose residues are also structural features of green and roasted coffee galactomannans (6 and 1 mol%, respectively). In hot water soluble green coffee mannans, glucose residues are a constituent of the mannan backbone, and in the roasted coffee they were detected only at the reducing end of the mannan backbone. 相似文献

1. Lipopolysaccharide was isolated from both cell walls and acetone-dried whole cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (N.C.T.C. 1999). 2. Closely similar products are obtained, although that from whole cells cannot be completely freed from small amounts (2-7%) of residual nucleic acids. 3. The lipid moiety (23-33%) has a similar amino sugar backbone to that of lipids of enterobacterial lipopolysaccharides, but contains different hydroxy acids (2- and 3-hydroxydodecanoic acid and 3-hydroxydecanoic acid). 3-Hydroxytetradecanoic acid is absent, and 3-hydroxydodecanoic acid is the main N-acylating acid. No clear evidence permitting a distinction between the possibilities that phosphodiester or glycosidic linkages exist between the glucosamine residues was obtained. 4. Identifiable sugars (glucose, rhamnose, 3-deoxy-2-octulonic acid and heptose) account for less than 20% of the lipopolysaccharide, and alanine, galactosamine and fucosamine are apparently components of the polysaccharide moiety. 5. The polysaccharide moiety is unusual in that it is not readily obtained from the lipopolysaccharide by treatment with dilute acetic acid, which does, however, solubilize much of the phosphorus of the lipopolysaccharide. 6. The ;polysaccharide' fraction (approx. 21%) obtained by treatment with dilute acetic acid contains only a small proportion of the total polysaccharide components, and in one case only 45% of the fraction was accountable for in terms of identifiable components. 7. Evidence suggests that unidentified nitrogenous components are concentrated in the residual material after removal of both the lipid and the ;polysaccharide' fraction from the lipopolysaccharide. 相似文献

The structure of the lipopolysaccharide from Rhizobium meliloti 10406, a derivative of the wild-type strain MVII-1, was examined. The compositional analysis of its polysaccharide moiety demonstrated lack of heptose(s), but high contents in glucose, galacturonic acid and 2-keto-3-deoxy-octonate (dOclA) as characteristic features. The lipid A moiety consisted of a -1,6 linked glucosamine disaccharide carrying ester (at C-4) and glycosidically (at C-1) linked phosphate residues, both present exclusively as monoester phosphates but not as phosphodiesters. Ester- and amidelinked 3-hydroxy fatty acids were mostly present as non-3-O-acylated residues. Laser desorption mass spectrometry (LD-MS) revealed heterogeneity in the fatty acid substitution, as was also indicated by the non-stoichiometric ratios obtained by quantitative fatty acid analysis. The predominating lipid A structure contained at the reducing glucosamine residue ester-linked 3-hydroxy-tetradecanoic acid (3-OH-14:0) and amide-linked 3-OH-18:0, or 3-OH-18:1, respectively. The distal (non-reducing) glucosamine carried ester-bound the recently discovered 27-hydroxyoctacosanoic acid and 3-OH-14:0 and, as amide-linked fatty acid, mostly 3-hydroxy-stearic acid (3-OH-18:0).The isolated lipopolysaccharide exhibited a high extent of lethal toxicity in galactosamine-treated mice, comparable to that of enterobacterial lipopolysaccharide. The structural relationship of LPS and lipid A of Rhizobium meliloti to other rhizobial lipopolysaccharides and lipid A's with respect to questions of taxonomy and of phylogenetic relationships will be discussed.Abbreviations LPS

The chemical structure of the polysaccharide moiety of the lipopolysaccharide Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides ATCC 17023 was established. Mild acetic acid hydrolysis of isolated lipopolysaccharide, followed by preparative high-voltage paper electrophoresis afforded three oligosaccharides. They were characterized by chemical and physicochemical studies to be: GlcA(alpha 1----4)dOclA8P, Thr(6') GlcA(alpha 1----4)GlcA and GlcA(alpha 1----4)dOclA, where GlcA is D-glucuronic acid and dOc1A is 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid. Carboxyl-reduction of the lipopolysaccharide followed by acid hydrolysis gave a trisaccharide: GlcA(alpha 1----4)Glc(alpha 1----4)Glc, showing the presence of three residues of glucuronic acids in the O-specific chain and indicating that only two of them are reducible by NaBH4. The linkage between the polysaccharide and lipid A was shown to be through a single 1,4-linked residue of dOc1A attached by a 2,6'-linkage to the lipid A moiety. 相似文献
