Escherichia Coli Lipopolysaccharide

The structure of the O-poly saccharide component of the lipopolysaccharide produced by Escherichia coli O17 (ATCC 23512) was determined by the use of methylation, periodate oxidation, one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and mass spectrometric methods. The O-polysaccharide was found to be a high molecular weight polymer of repeating branched pentasaccharide units composed of D-mannose, D-glucose, and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose residues (3:1:1) and had the structure[Formula: see text]Key words: Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharide, polysaccharide, NMR.

The specific capsular antigen of Streptococcuspneumoniae serotype 35B was shown by a combination of 2D NMR methods and mass spectrometric and classical carbohydrate chemical techniques to be a high molecular weight polymer containing D-galactose, D-glucose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose, and ribitol (2:1:1:1). The pentasaccharide repeating unit is polymerized through phosphate diester linkages to give the structure,[Formula: see text]Seventy percent of the β-D-Galf residues glycosidically linked to the ribitol units carry an O-acetyl substituent.

The specific capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 33F (American type 70) is composed of D-galactose (5 parts), D-glucose (1 part), and O-acetyl (ca. 0.4 parts). Periodate oxidation, partial hydrolysis, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies showed that the polysaccharide is a high molecular weight polymer of a repeating hexasaccharide unit having the structure:[Formula: see text]

Fingerprinting Technique

A method of ‘fingerprinting’ high-molecular-weight32P-labelled RNA species, using a two-dimensional thin-layer-chromatographic separation of ribonuclease T1 digestion products, has been applied to RNA from the Escherichia coli bacteriophage R17. The ‘fingerprinting’ technique, besides giving a unique pattern that can be used as a characterization of the RNA, has made it possible to isolate a number of the larger oligonucleotides and to determine their nucleotide sequences.

The structure of the specific capsular polysaccharide produced by Streptococcuspneumoniae type 22F (American type 22) was investigated by high-field 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, composition, methylation analysis, and periodate oxidation studies. The polysaccharide was found to be a high molecular weight acidic polymer composed of D-glucose, D-galactose, D-glucuronic acid, and L-rhamnose residues to form a regular repeating hexasaccharide unit having the structure[Formula: see text]in which the β-L-rhamnopyranosyl residues were substituted by O-acetyl groups in 80% of the repeating units. The 1H and 13C nmr resonances of the O-deacetylated type 22F polysaccharide were completely assigned by application of two-dimensional homo- and heteronuclear chemical shift correlation techniques. Keywords: Streptococcuspneumoniae polysaccharide, NMR analysis.
