The application of gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric (g.l.c.-m.s.) analysis to a number of sialic acid-containing polysaccharides of meningococcal origin has been studied. Methylation of these polysaccharides by the Hakomori conditions resulted in both O- and N-methylation. Methanolysis of the methylated polysaccharides from serogroup C [(2→9)-linked], colominic acid [(2→8)-linked], and serogroups Y and W-135 [both (1→4)-linked], yielded the respective 4,7,8,4,7,9-, and 7,8,9-tri-O-methyl derivatives of methyl N-acetyl-N-methyl-β-D-neuraminate methyl glycoside. As model compounds, methyl N-acetyl-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-methyl-α-D-neuraminate methyl glycoside and its N-methyl derivative were also synthesized. All of the methylated derivatives could be identified on the basis of their typical fragmentation-patterns, indicating that this method is applicable to the determination of the position of linkages to sialic acid residues in biopolymers. 相似文献

The acetolysis of aldobi-itols and aldobionic acids containing α- and β-(1→2), χ-and β-(1→4), and β-(1→6) linkages has been studied. Cleavage of the (1→4)- and (1→6)-linked derivatives occurred more slowly than for the parent disaccharides. The reverse situation was found for (1→2)-linked aldobi-itols and methyl esters of aldobionic acids. 相似文献

Methanolysis of benzyl α-glycosides of N-acetylmuramic acid lactones with HO-6 free (2) and substituted (4, 7, 10, and 12) is catalysed by small amounts of silica gel to give, exclusively, the corresponding methyl esters with HO-4 unsubstituted (3, 5, 8, 11, 13); opening of the lactone ring proceeds with retention of the d-gluco configuration and can be followed by 1H-n.m.r. spectroscopy. Condensation of 2 with 2-methyl-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-1,2-dideoxy-α-d-glucopyrano)-[2,1-d]-2-oxazoline (15) gave the β-(1→6)-linked disaccharide lactone 16 which, on methanolysis, yielded the disaccharide methyl ester 17, also obtained by condensation of 3 and 15. In the presence of imidazole, the lactones 2 and 4 underwent aminolysis with amino acid and peptide esters as nucleophiles to give the N-acetylmuramoylamide derivatives 19–24. The structures of methanolysis and aminolysis products were established by 1H-n.m.r. spectroscopy and independent syntheses. 相似文献

Two sialyllactose isomers, NeuAcα2→6Galβ1→4Glc and Galβ1→4(NeuAcα2→6)Glc, were prepared by incubation of a concentrated solution of N-acetylneuraminic acid and lactose in the presence of a neuraminidase from Arthrobacter ureafaciens. Each sialyllactose was isolated by a combination of ion-exchange chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. The structure of each sialyllactose was identified by mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, and enzymatic analysis. 相似文献

Tetragonal crystals of hen egg-white lysozyme were treated with the active sitedirected irreversible inhibitor 2′,3′epoxypropyl β-glycoside of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, β(1→4)-linked dimer. The crystals were examined by X-ray crystallography, and the results compared to those obtained from crystals of the reversible complex formed between hen egg-white lysozyme and the β-phenyl glycoside of GlcNAc β(1→4)GlcNAc. It is concluded that the GlcNAc β(1→4)GlcNAc moiety of the irreversible inhibitor occupies subsites B and C in the active site of the enzyme, and that the inhibitor is linked covalently to the enzyme through the carboxyl side-chain of Asp 52. 相似文献

Treatment of methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-l-bromo-l-deoxy-α-d-glucopyranuronate severally with 2,4,6-, 2,3,6-, and 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl derivatives of methyl α-d-glucopyranoside and with methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-3-O-methyl-α-d-glucopyranoside, in the presence of silver carbonate, afforded crystalline aldobiouronic acid derivatives in high yield. Deacetylation followed by methylation gave a series of fully methylated derivatives of laminaribiouronic, cellobiouronic, and gentiobiouronic acids, and the (1 → 2)-linked analogue. Methylation with methyl iodide and silver oxide in N,N-dimethylformamide was invariably accompanied by a small amount ofβ-elimination, with the formation of olefinic disaccharides which were also obtained by β-elimination reactions of the precursor acetates followed by methylation. Methyl 4,5-unsaturated 4-deoxyhexopyranosyluronate derivatives were the main products of the reaction, but these underwent further degradation with cleavage of the interglycosidic linkage and formation of 6-methoxycarbonyl-4-pyrone. 相似文献

β-d-Gal-(1 → 4)-β-d-GlcNAc-OC6H4NO2-p (p-nitrophenyl N-acetyl-β-lactosaminide) and β-d-Gal-(1 → 6)-β-d-GlcNAc-OC6H4NO2-p (p-nitrophenyl N-acetyl-β-isolactosaminide) were regioselectively synthesized from lactose and p-nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-glucopyranoside, employing transglycosylation by the β-d-galactosidase from Bacillus circulans and by controlling the concentration of organic solvent in the reaction system. The (1 → 4)-linked disaccharide was formed exclusively when the concentration of organic solvent was high, whereas the (1 → 6)-linked isomer was produced with a low concentration. Further utilization of the transglycosylation by the enzyme led to the regioselective formation of β-d-Gal-(1 → 4)-d-GalNAc and β-d-Gal-(1 → 4)-β-d-GalNAc-OC6H4NO2-p. With the enzyme, β-d-galactosyl transfer occurred preferentially at the O-4 position of GlcNAc and GalNAc, regardless of the configuration of the hydroxyl group. 相似文献

Treatment of N-acetylneuraminic acid methyl ester with sulfuric acid and acetic anhydride at 50° followed by deacetylation gave 2,3-dehydro-2-deoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acid methyl ester and methyl 5-acetamido-2,6-anhydro-2,3,5-trideoxy-d-glycero-d-talo-non-2-enonate (2,3-dehydro-4-epi-NeuAc methyl ester) in equal yields (~40% each). The structure of the latter was ascertained primarily from analysis of its mass spectrum and 1H- and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. The relative proportions of these two glycals in the foregoing reaction was dependent on temperature, as at 0°, the yield of 2,3-dehydro-4-epi-NeuAc was markedly diminished. A minor by-product of this acetylation reaction was 2-methyl-(methyl 7,8,9- tri-O-acetyl-2,6-anhydro-2,3,5-trideoxy-d-glycero-d-talo-non-2-enonate)-[4,5-d]-2-oxazoline. Based upon this finding and additional interconversion experiments, a mechanism involving the intermediacy of the latter oxazoline to account for the epimerization is proposed. These glycals and their methyl esters are competitive inhibitors of Arthrobacter sialophilus, neuraminidase, suggesting that the 4-hydroxyl group must be equatorially oriented for maximal enzyme inhibition. 相似文献

Sophora japonica lectin agglutinates human B erythrocytes strongly and A1 erythrocytes weakly. Bivalent metal ions such as Ca2+, Mn2+, or Mg2+ were shown to be essential for hemagglutinating and precipitating activities. At optimal concentrations of bivalent metal ions, hemagglutinating activity was highest between pH 8.5 and 9.0 and decreased sharply below pH 8.5, whereas precipitating capacity was maximal between pH 6.7 and 9.5. The combining site of the S. japonica lectin was explored by quantitative precipitin and precipitin inhibition assays. This lectin showed substantial differences in precipitation with several blood group B substances ascribable to heterogeneity resulting from incomplete biosynthesis of their carbohydrate side chains. The lectin precipitated moderately well with A1 substance and precursor blood group I fractions (OG). It precipitated weakly or not at all with A2, H, or Lea substances. In inhibition assays, glycosides of dGalNAc were about five to six times better than those of dGal; dGalNAc itself was about six times better than dGal. Nitrophenyl glycosides were all substantially better than the methyl glycosides, indicating a hydrophobic contribution to the site subterminal to the nonreducing moiety. Although nitrophenyl β-glycosides were much better than the corresponding α-glycosides, the methyl α-and βDGalNAcp were equal in activity as were methyl α- and βDGalp. Among the oligosaccharides tested, the β-linked N-tosyl-l-serine glycoside of dGalβ1 → 3dGalNAc was best and was as active as p-nitrophenyl βDGalNAcp, whereas dGalβ1 → 3dGalNAc α-N-tosyl serine and the nitrophenyl and phenyl α-glycosides of dGalβ1 → 3dGalNAc were much less active, suggesting that the hydrophobic moiety and/or a subterminal dGalNAc β-linked and substituted on carbon 3 play an important role in binding and that a β-linked glycoside of dGalβ1 → 3dGalNAc may be an essential requirement for binding. The results of inhibition studies with other oligosaccharides indicate that a subterminal dGlcNAc substituted on carbon 3 or 4 by dGalβ may contribute somewhat to binding and that whether the dGlcNAc is linked β1 → 3 or β1 → 6 to a third sugar does not contribute to or interfere with binding. The β1 → 3 linkage of the terminal dGal to the subterminal amino sugar is significant since dGalβ1 → 4dGlcNAc was one-half as active as the corresponding β1 → 3-linked compound and the subterminal sugar must be unsubstituted for optimal binding. N-Acetyllactosamine was 50% more active than lactose, indicating that the subterminal N-acetamido group was also contributing significantly to binding. A variety of other sugars, glycosides, and oligosaccharides showed little or not activity. From the oligosaccharides available, the combining size of this lectin would appear to be least as large a β-linked disaccharide and most complementary to dGalβ1 → 3dGalNAc β-linked to tosyl-l-serine the most active compound tested. 相似文献

The human blood-group MM and NN antigens carry 2 to 4 immunodominant groupings per repeating subunit and differ only by one sialic acid residue per immunodominant group. This residue covers in the MM antigen the β-D-galactopyranosyl group that is terminal in the N immunodominant structure and that, together with a terminal α-linked N-acetylneuraminic acid residue, is responsible for N specificity. M specificity was readily converted into N specificity by mild acid treatment. N structure is the immediate biochemical precursor of M structure, and M and N antigenic specificities are not determined by two allelic genes as believed hitherto. The NN antigen was inactivated by β-D-galactosidase as well as by removal of N-acetylneuraminic acid. Some of the reactivities of the NN antigen, lost upon β-D-galactosidase treatment, reappeared on subsequent partial N-acetylneuraminic acid removal. The structure uncovered by complete sialic acid depletion of MN antigens is the Thomsen—Friedenreich T antigen, the specificity of which is determined by β-D-galactopyranosyl groups. β-D-Galactosidase treatment transformed the T antigen into one possessing Tn activity. The significance of blood-group MN active substances extends to human breast cancer, where MN antigens were found in benign and malignant glands, but some of their precursors in cancerous tissue only. 相似文献

The following new compounds were prepared and characterized: N-benzyl-oxycarbonyl-O-(tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-N-glycyl-L-serine methyl ester (1) and L-threonine methyl ester (2), N-benzyloxycarbonyl-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-N-glycyl-L-serine amide (3), N-benzyloxycarbonyl-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-N-glycyl-L-threonine methyl ester (4) and L-threonine amide (5), N-benzyloxycarbonyl-O-(tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-trifluoroacetamido-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-N-glycyl-L-serine methyl ester (6), and N-benzyloxycarbonyl-O-(2-deoxy-2-trifluoroacetamido-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-N-glycyl-L-serine amide (7). Although various modifications of the Koenigs-Knorr synthesis were used, the best, over-all yields of the deacetylated dipeptide derivatives were only 5–10%. Although the products are alkali-labile, deacetylation was accomplished with methanolic ammonia. Of the deacetylated products, the threonine derivatives (4 and 5) were more rapidly hydrolyzed by acids than phenyl β-D-glucopyranoside, which in turn was more rapidly cleaved than the serine derivatives (3 and 7). The stabilities of 3, 4, 5, and 7 to sodium hydroxide and sodium borohydride were similar, and essentially complete β-elimination of the glycosyl residue occurred for the amide derivatives (3, 5, and 7). For the ester derivative 4, pH 9 was optimal; above this pH, ester hydrolysis was more rapid than β-elimination, and the resulting carboxyl derivatives did not undergo β-elimination. Under optimal conditions with sodium borohydride, the β-elimination reaction was complete, but the corresponding alanine and α-aminobutyric acid residues were not formed; presumably reductions to the amino alcohols occurred. A mechanism for the β-elimination is proposed. 相似文献

Fibromodulin from bovine articular cartilage has been subjected to lectin affinity chromatography by Sambucus nigra lectin which binds α(2-6)- linked N-acetylneuraminic acid, and the structure of the keratan sulphate in the binding and non-binding fractions examined by keratanase
II digestion and subsequent high pH anion exchange chromatography. It has been confirmed that the keratan sulphate chains
attached to fibromodulin isolated from bovine articular cartilage may have the chain terminating N-acetylneuraminic acid residue α(2-3)- or α(2-6)-linked to the adjacent galactose residue. Although the abundance of α(2-6)-linked
N-acetylneuraminic acid (ca. 22%) is such that this could cap one of the four chains in almost all fibromodulin molecules, it was found that ca. 34% of the fibromodulin proteoglycan molecules from bovine articular cartilage were capped exclusively with α(2-3)-linked
N-acetylneuraminic acid. The remainder of the fibromodulin proteoglycans, which bound to the lectin had a mixture of α(2-3)-
and α(2-6)-linked N-acetylneuraminic acid capping structures. The keratan sulphates attached to fibromodulin molecules capped exclusively with
α(2-3)- linked N-acetylneuraminic acid were found to have a higher level of galactose sulphation than those from fibromodulin with both α(2-3)-
and α(2-6)-linked N-acetylneuraminic acid caps, which bound to the Sambucus nigra lectin. In addition, both pools contained chains of similar length (ca. 8–9 disaccharides). Both also contained α(1-3)-linked fucose, showing that this feature does not co-distribute with α(2-6)-linked
N-acetylneuraminic acid, although these two features are present only in mature articular cartilage. These data show that there
are discrete populations of fibromodulin within articular cartilage, which may have differing impacts upon tissue processes. 相似文献

The fragmentation pattern in electron-impact mass spectrometry has been established for the peracetylated methyl ester methyl glycoside derivative of N-acetylneuraminic acid. The resulting, data allow the interpretation of the mass spectrum of the corresponding derivative of a new sialic acid isolated from the starfish Distolasterias nipon which is shown to be 8-O-methyl-N-acetylneuraminic acid. 相似文献

Two classes of neutral polysaccharide which could not be separated from each other by conventional methods were isolated from the fungus, Lampteromyces japonicus, by affinity chromatography using concanavalin A-Sepharose. The polysaccharide retained on the concanavalin A-Sepharose column was eluted with 0.05 M methyl α-d-mannopyranoside and appeared to be α-mannan, while that which passed through the column was virtually all β-glucan.Both polysaccharides were subjected to Smith-type degradation, methylation, acetolysis and glucosidase treatment. The results indicated that the α-mannan contained predominantly α-(1 → 2)-linked side chains branching from an α-(1 → 6)-linked backbone at the (1 → 2,6)-linked mannopyranosyl residues. Galactose was attached to approximately one-quarter of the non-reducing mannose terminals. The β-glucan seemed to contain mainly (1 → 6)-linked side chains branching from a (1 → 3)-linked backbone at the (1 → 3,6)-linked glucopyranosyl residues. 相似文献

Using chemical analysis and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, capsular polysaccharide purified from culture supernatants of a strain of Pasteurella haemolytica serotype A2 was shown to consist of a (2 → 8)-α-linked polymer of N-acetylneuraminic acid. This is identical to the capsular polysaccharides of Neisseria meningitidis group B and Escherichia coli K1, and is known as colominic acid. Polymer isolated from a second strain was contaminated with α-1,4-linked dextran. The known poor immunogenicity of these two polymers explains the failure by others to produce effective extract vaccines for this important ovine pathogen. 相似文献

We investigated the acceptor substrate specificities of marine bacterial α-(2→3)-sialyltransferase cloned from Photobacterium sp. JT-ISH-224 and α-(2→6)-sialyltransferase cloned from Photobacterium damselae JT0160 using several saccharides as acceptor substrates. After purifying the enzymatic reaction products, we confirmed their structure by NMR spectroscopy. The α-(2→3)-sialyltransferase transferred N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) from cytidine 5′-monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac) to the β-anomeric hydroxyl groups of mannose (Man) and α-Manp-(1→6)-Manp, and α-(2→6)-sialyltransferase transferred N-acetylneuraminic acid to the 6-OH groups of the non-reducing end galactose residues in β-Galp-(1→3)-GlcpNAc and β-Galp-(1→6)-GlcpNAc. 相似文献

The component analyses and structures of highly purified, human-pituitary, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) have been studied. By means of Smith degradation, a partial linkage-analysis of the carbohydrate units in FSH and hCG has been achieved. These data, coupled with those for enzymic hydrolysis and oxidation of the carbohydrate moiety of FSH, allowed the tentative proposal of the sequence N-acetylneuraminyl-(2→2)-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→6)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-D-mannopyranose for some of the chain termini of FSH. Mild, acid hydrolysis of FSH gave fragments of low molecular weight which retained some in vivo and in vitro biological activity. The structure—activity relationship of the carbohydrate-chain termini of FSH was investigated by oxidation, or by derivatisation of the 6-aldehyde end-group produced by the action of D-galactose oxidase on N-acetylneuraminic acid-free FSH. 相似文献

Spacer arms 2.1–3.7 nm (21–37 Å) long were prepared, and coupled with the methyl β-glycoside of N-acetylmuramyl-l-alanyl-d-isoglutamine benzyl ester, to give blocked 6-acylates. Deprotection was effected with palladium chloride and triethylsilane. Chemical conjugates of MDP-meningococcal group C polysaccharide were then synthesized, in attempts to enhance the immunogenicity of the polysaccharide antigen. 相似文献

Exopolysaccharides of Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Rhizobium meliloti, containing d-glucose, d-galactose, pyruvic acid, and O-acetyl groups in the approximate proportions 6:1:1:1.5, were analysed by methylation. They were found to contain the following main structural units (all β-glycosidic): chain residues of (1→3)-linked d-glucose (24%), (1→3)-linked d-galactose (15%), (1→4)-linked d-glucose (20%), and (1→6)-linked d-glucose (18%); (1→4,1→6)-linked branching residues of d-glucose (12%), and terminal d-glucose residues substituted at positions 4 and 6 by pyruvate (11%). Uronic acid-containing exopolysaccharides of Rhizobium leguminosarum, R. phaseoli, and R. trifolii contained d-glucose, d-glucuronic acid, d-galactose, pyruvic acid, and O-acetyl groups in the approximate proportions 5:2:1:2:3. Methylation gave identical patterns of methylated sugar components, from which the following structural elements were deduced: chain residues of (1→3)-linked d-glucose substituted at positions 4 and 6 by pyruvate (13%), (1→4)-linked d-glucose (32%), and (1→4)-linked d-glucuronic acid (20%); (1→4,1→6)-linked branching residues of d-galactose and/or d-glucose (13%), and terminal d-glucose and/or d-galactose residues substituted at positions 4 and 6 by pyruvate (13%). 相似文献

Periodate oxidation of LPG-1 established that N-acetylneuraminic acid residues are linked preponderantly α-(2→3) to D-galactose residues. The resistance of 2-acetamido-2-deoxyD-galactose residues to periodate oxidation suggests that they are linked at either O-3 or O-4 to D-galactose residues. After treatment of LPG-I with alkaline sulfite, ≈80% of 2-acetamido-2-deoxygalactose was recovered as the sulfonic acid derivative. The Gal→GalNAc disaccharide released from sialic-acid-free LPG-I by digestion with endo-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-galactosidase (which suggests an α-D-GalNAc→-L-Ser or -L-Thr linkage) gave a high color-yield in the Morgan—Elson reaction, indicating that 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose residues are linked at C-3 to D-galactose residues. The migration of the released Gal-GalNAc disaccharide was the same as that of a standard sample of O-β-D-galactosyl-(1→3)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose. Treatment of sialic acid-free LPG-I with Streptococcus pneumoniae β-D-galactosidase, which hydrolyzes only galactosides linked β-D-(1→4) gave no free D-galactose, whereas treatment of LPG-I with bovine testes β-D-galactosidase released > 90% of D-galactose. These results provide evidence for β-D-Galp-(1→3)-α-D-GalNAcp-(1→3)-L-Ser or -L-Thr and α-NeuAc-(2→3)-β-D-Galp-(1→3)-α-D- GalNAcp-(1→3)-L-Ser or -L-Thr structures. The sensitivity of the methods used and the recovery of constituents following treatment of LPG-I do not rule out the occurrence of small amounts of other tri- or tetra-saccharide chains. 相似文献
