Abstract: | Recently, nucleotide-activated oligosaccharides have been found to be involved in the biosynthesis of certain glycoconjugates in archaeal and bacterial procaryotes. This paper describes the isolation and partial chemical characterization of nucleotide-activated oligosaccharides from the eucaryotic microbe Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We purified four different nucleotide-activated oligosaccharides from cell extracts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Three of the oligosaccharides were UDP, and one was TDP-activated. D-Glucose was the only carbohydrate constituent, except for one oligosaccharide, which also contained glucosamine. The chain length varied between two and four sugar residues. |
