AK1401 is a mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO1 (serotype 05) that does not express O-antigen, but does express "A-band" lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The polysaccharide portion of the A-band LPS (A-PS) from AK1401 was found to consist mainly of D-rhamnose, with smaller amounts of 3-O-methylrhamnose, ribose, mannose, glucose, and a 3-O-methylhexose. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the intact A-PS indicated that the main structural feature was a repeating trisaccharide of α-D-rhamnose having the following structure:[Formula: see text]The 1H NMR spectrum of the repeating unit was completely assigned through the use of 2D shift-correlated and relayed coherence transfer NMR spectroscopy. The linkage positions and sequence of residues were found by nuclear Overhauser enhancement difference spectroscopy. Key words: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, lipopolysaccharide, 1H NMR.

Derivatives Of

The conformations of a series of derivatives of the disaccharide α-L-fucopyranosyl-(1[Formula: see text]3)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranoside, part of the Lex determinant, were studied by molecular modelling using the MM3* forcefield and by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Unusually shielded O-benzyl protons were observed in the 1H NMR spectrum of phenyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-α-L-fucopyranosyl-(1[Formula: see text]3)-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-1-thio-α-D-glucopyranoside and assigned to the 2-O-benzyl group. This observation was explained by a shift in the population of the conformational mixture present about the glycosidic linkage from the positive Ψ region in the unsubstituted disaccharide to the negative Ψ region induced by π-stacking between the phthalimide and the 2-O-benzyl phenyl ring. The experimental nuclear Overhauser enhancements confirm the accuracy of the calculations.Key words: disaccharide, conformation, π-stacking, Lex determinant, NOE measurements, MM3 calculations.

Nmr Methods

Using a combination of one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) high resolution nmr methods, the 1H nmr spectrum of brucine was fully assigned. The 2D J-resolved and homonuclear chemical shift correlated (COSY) experiments provided assignments without full structural information; this was obtained from nuclear Overhauser effect (nOe) enhancement experiments (1D and 2D). With the proton spectrum fully assigned, proton-bearing carbons in the 13C nmr spectrum were easily assigned using the 2D heteronuclear chemical shift correlation map (CSCM) experiment.

Shielding Effects

Nitrogen-centered urazole radicals exist in equilibrium with tetrazane dimers in solution. The equilibrium established typically favors the free-radical form. However, 1-arylurazole radicals bearing substituents at the ortho position favor the dimeric form. We were able to determine the structure of one of the dimers (substituted at both ortho positions with methyl groups), namely 1,2-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-2-[2-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-4-methyl-3,5-dioxo-1,2,4-triazolidin-1-yl]-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dione, C24H28N6O4, via X-ray crystallography. The experimentally determined structure agreed well with the computationally obtained geometry at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level of theory. The preferred syn conformation of these 1-arylurazole dimers results in the two aromatic rings being proximate and nearly parallel, which leads to some interesting shielding effects of certain signals in the 1H NMR spectrum. Armed with this information, we were able to decipher the more complicated 1H NMR spectrum obtained from a dimer that was monosubstituted at the ortho position with a methyl group.

Reaction of 3β-acetoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-28,20β-olide (IIIa) and 20β,28-epoxy-21,22-dioxo-19α,19βH-ursan-3β-yl acetate (IIIb) with diazomethane afforded derivatives XII-XIV with spiroepoxide group in position 21 or 22, which were further converted into hydroxy derivatives XV and XVII. Ethylene ketals VIII-X were also prepared. In connection with the determination of position and configuration of the functional groups at C(21) and C(22), the 1H and 13C NMR spectral data of the prepared compounds are discussed. Complete analysis of two four-spin systems in the 1H NMR spectrum of bisethylenedioxy derivative Xb led to the proton-proton coupling constants from which the structure with two 1,4-dioxane rings condensed with ring E, and their conformation, was derived.

AbstractArrestins recognize different receptor phosphorylation patterns and convert this information to selective arrestin functions to expand the functional diversity of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamilies. However, the principles governing arrestin-phospho-receptor interactions, as well as the contribution of each single phospho-interaction to selective arrestin structural and functional states, are undefined. Here, we determined the crystal structures of arrestin2 in complex with four different phosphopeptides derived from the vasopressin receptor-2 (V2R) C-tail. A comparison of these four crystal structures with previously solved Arrestin2 structures demonstrated that a single phospho-interaction change results in measurable conformational changes at remote sites in the complex. This conformational bias introduced by specific phosphorylation patterns was further inspected by FRET and 1H NMR spectrum analysis facilitated via genetic code expansion. Moreover, an interdependent phospho-binding mechanism of phospho-receptor-arrestin interactions between different phospho-interaction sites was unexpectedly revealed. Taken together, our results provide evidence showing that phospho-interaction changes at different arrestin sites can elicit changes in affinity and structural states at remote sites, which correlate with selective arrestin functions.

The Difference

The proton magnetic resonance (1H nmr) spectrum at 400 MHz of prostacyclin at pH 10.4 in glycine buffer has been completely analyzed utilizing homonuclear double resonance, inversion recovery, and difference nOe experiments. The spectral analysis shows that the two protons at C-4 are non-equivalent even though they are removed from the asymmetric centres at C-8 and C-9 by five bonds. The difference nOe measurements verify the configuration at C-5.Proton longitudinal relaxation times (T1) were measured at 400 and 200 MHz. From the T1 frequency dependence, effective rotational correlation times ranging from 2.3 × 10−10 to 3.0 × 10−10 s were calculated for H-5, H-9, H-11, and H-15. This indicates that the portion of the molecule encompassed by these protons has a longer correlation time than is observed for the C-2 and the C-17 to C-19 protons, for which the average correlation time is 1.2 × 10−10 s. Hence the aliphatic side chains have more segmental motion.
