The following pectins were sulfated: bergenan BC (the pectin of Bergenia crassifolia L), lemnan LM (the pectin of Lemna minor L), and galacturonan as a backbone of pectins. Pyridine monomethyl sulfate, pyridine sulfotrioxide, and chlorosulfonic acid
were used as reagents for sulfation. Chlorosulfonic acid proved to be the optimal reagent for sulfation of galacturonan and
other pectins. Galacturonan and pectin derivatives with different degrees of sulfation were synthesized and their anticoagulant
activities were shown to depend on the quantity of sulfate groups in the pectin macromolecules. 相似文献
Ultraviolet radiation (wavelength, 280–315 nm; power, 0.2–13.0 W/m2; exposure, 1 or 3 h) was shown to change the growth of campion callus and the polysaccharide (pectin and arabinogalactan) composition of cell walls. An increase in the concentration of polysaccharides and a decrease in the content of arabinose and galactose residues in pectin and arabinogalactan were noted. For the majority of calluses, growth indices, specific growth rate, and biomass productivity (per 11 medium) were almost the same as in nonirradiated control cells. Maximum values of the growth index and specific growth rate, determined for dry biomass, were observed at a low dose of irradiation (0.2 W/m2) and an exposure of 3 h. A considerable decrease in the content of arabinose and galactose in pectin was noted at high doses of irradiation (exposure, 3 h). Samples of arabinogalactan were characterized by variable arabinose to galactose ratios, which were in the range 1: (3.4–8.3). 相似文献
Callus and suspension cultures of campion (Silene vulgaris) produced pectin polysaccharides, similar in structure to the polysaccharides of intact plants. The major components of the pectins were D-galacturonic acid, galactose, arabinose, and rhamnose residues. The maximum content of pectins was found in callus. The monosaccharide composition of arabinogalactans isolated from cells and a culture medium of callus cultures were similar, with the ratio between arabinose and galactose of 1: (2.3–6.5) being retained. The arabinogalactans from the cells and culture medium of the suspension cultures also had a similar structure, and the arabinose to galactose ratio was 1: (1.5–1.8). In contrast to the callus cultures, the suspension cultures produced arabinogalactans with an increased content of arabinose residues and a decreased content of galactose residues. The greatest content of arabinogalactan was detected in the culture medium of the suspension cultures. 相似文献

Medium nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, nitrogen and nitrate to ammonium ratio have significant influence on the growth, biosynthetic and biochemical characteristics of polysaccharides produced by Silene vulgaris (M.) G. cell culture. Cell growth and production of polysaccharides was limited by an absence of any of these components in the medium. Optimal growth of the callus and production of arabinogalactan were achieved at 1.5-4.5 microM calcium while the optimal production of pectin named silenan was observed at 3.0-4.5 microM. The phosphate contents in the medium in the range of 0.63-3.75 microM were favorable for callus growth. Production of silenan was maximal at 1.25-3.75 microM phosphate. Optimal growth of the callus was achieved at 30-90 microM nitrogen. Maximal production of silenan was observed at 60 microM nitrogen while the optimal production of arabinogalactan was at 90 microM nitrogen (at ratio of NH(4)(+):NO(3)(-) as 1:2). A presence both of nitrate and ammonium is needed for the silenan biosynthesis (the NH(4)(+):NO(3)(-) ratio as 1:1 and 1:2). Yields and volumetric production of arabinogalactan were maximal at deletion of ammonium from the nutrient medium (ratio 0:1). Absence of calcium or nitrogen in the medium leads to a decrease of the galacturonic acid residues in silenan. The galactose residues contents in arabinogalactan were decreased in the absence of nitrogen and calcium in the medium. 相似文献
Using enzymic digestion with pectinase, controlled Smith degradation and NMR-spectroscopy, some structural features of the hairy region of pectic polysaccharide termed silenan SV from the aerial part of campion Silene vulgaris (Moench) Garke (Oberna behen (L.) Ikonn) were elucidated.
Silenan was subjected to enzymic digestion with pectinase to furnish the polysaccharide fraction (SVP). The contained residues of
-galacturonic acid (43%), arabinose, galactose and rhamnose as main constituents. The backbone of the hairy region of silenan was found to consist of -1,4-galactopyranosyl uronic acid and 2-O-glycosylated rhamnopyranose residues. The side chains contained linear regions of residues of -1,5-linked arabinofuranose and β-1,3-, β-1,4-linked galactopyranose. Silenan SV and its fragment SVP were subjected to Smith degradation to give fractions SVS and SVPS. These contain the residues of terminal and 2-substituted -arabinofuranose as well as residues of terminal, 3-, and 2,3-substituted β-galactopyranose. In addition, NMR-spectral data confirmed that the residues of -rhamnopyranose 2-O-glycosylated with the residues of -1,4-galactopyranosyl uronic acid of the backbone occurred in the core of SVPS and, therefore, in the backbone of silenan SV.
On the basis of data obtained, the hairy regions of silenan were suggested to contain mainly the linear chains of β-1,3-, β-1,4-galactopyranan and -1,5-arabinofuranan. The chains of -1,5-linked arabinofuranose, β-1,3- and β-1,4-linked galactopyranose were shown to be involved in the side chains of the hairy region having branching points at 2,3-substituted β-galactopyranose residues. 相似文献
