The unique structure of complete lipopolysaccharide isolated from semi-rough Plesiomonas shigelloides O37 ( strain CNCTC 39/89) containing (2S)-O-(4-oxopentanoic acid)-alpha-D-Glcp (alpha-D-Lenose)

Abstract

in which alpha-D-Lenp is (2S)-O-(4-oxopentanoic acid)-alpha-D-Glcp residue which has not been found in nature. The absolute configuration of oxopentanoic acid moiety in alpha-D-Lenose residue was determined by NOESY experiment combined with molecular modeling (MM2 force field). The decasaccharide core is substituted at C-4 of the beta-D-Glcp residue with a single pentasaccharide unit. Lipid A is built of a beta-D-GlcpN4P-(1 -> 6)-alpha-D-GlcpN1P disaccharide asymmetrically substituted with fatty acids. It was concluded that the core oligosaccharide and the lipid A are identical with those in P. shigelloides CNCTC 113/ 92 Niedziela et al. (2002)(9) and Lukasiewicz et al.
