Previous studies from our laboratory have indicated that the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Mannheimia haemolytica serotype A1 contains both L-glycero-D-manno-heptose and D-glycero-D-manno-heptose residues. NMR methods making use of 1D 1H selective excitation and 2D (1H, 13C) and (1H, 31P) heteronuclear experiments were used for the structural determination of the major core oligosaccharide components of the deacylated low-molecular-mass LPS obtained following sequential treatment with anhydrous hydrazine and aq KOH. The core oligosaccharide region was found to be composed of a branched octasaccharide linked to the deacylated lipid A moiety via a 3-deoxy-4-phospho-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonate residue having the structure,[Formula: see text]Heterogeneity was found to be present at several linkages. NMR methods were devised to distinguish between the diastereomeric forms of the heptose residues. Synthesized monosaccharides of L-D- and D-D-heptose were used as model compounds for analysis of the 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts and proton coupling constants. Molecular modeling using a Monte Carlo method for conformational analysis of saccharides was used to determine the conformation of the inner core of the oligosaccharide and to establish the stereochemical relationships between the heptoses.Key words: LPS, NMR, conformation, oligosaccharide, heptose.

Abstract NMR methods have been applied to evaluation of prototropic tautomerism, N(1)H ⇌ N (3) H, in several selected pyrimidines, viz. the neutral forms of Isocytosine and 2-alkylthiopyrimidone-4, and the monoanionic forms of uracil, 5-fluorouracil and 4-thiouracil. The predominant tautomeric species of the neutral forms could be estimated only qualitatively from 1H chemical shifts. For the monoanionic forms this procedure was not applicable, for reasons which are discussed in detail. For the monoanionic form of uracil, 13C chemical shifts of C(5) provided a suitable criterion for quantitative estimation of the populations of the two known tautomeric species. However, the potential scope of this procedure appears somewhat limited. By contrast, the values of the vicinal proton-proton coupling constants, J (5,6), provided both necessary and adequate criteria for quantitative evaluation of the tautomer populations for all the neutral and monoanionic forms. The results were in satisfactory agreement with those obtained by optical spectroscopic methods. In some instances the results obtained in this way may be more reliable than those derived from optical methods. The range of applicability, and utility, of NMR methods to studies on protropic tautomerism in pyrimidines are critically assessed.

Pre-treatment of leaves of pepper (Capsicum annuum) with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) preparations from enteric bacteria and Xanthomonas campestris could prevent the hypersensitive response caused by an avirulent X. campestris strain. By use of a range of deep-rough mutants, the minimal structure in Salmonella LPS responsible for the elicitation of this effect was determined to be lipid A attached to a disaccharide of 2-keto-3-deoxyoctulosonate; lipid A alone and the free core oligosaccharide from a Salmonella Ra mutant were not effective. For Xanthomonas, the core oligosaccharide alone had activity although lipid A was not effective. The results suggest that pepper cells can recognize different structures within bacterial LPS to trigger alterations in plant response to avirulent pathogens.

Proton Chemical Shifts

A comparison between calculated and observed values demonstrates that “ansätze” derived from an algebraic model in connection with appropriate boundary conditions are able to account for a quantitative description of the proton chemical shifts of allenes.Correlations of the proton chemical shifts with other NMR data, such as 13C-chemical shifts and one-bond carbon-proton coupling constants, reveal some insigths into the nature of the 1H substituent chemical shifts of alienes.

ABSTRACT Surfactant proteins A (SP-A) and D (SP-D) play an important role in the innate immune defenses of the respiratory tract. SP-A binds to the lipid A region of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and SP-D binds to the core oligosaccharide region. Both proteins induce aggregation, act as opsonins for neutrophils and macrophages, and have direct antimicrobial activity. Bordetella pertussis LPS has a branched core structure and a nonrepeating terminal trisaccharide. Bordetella bronchiseptica LPS has the same structure, but lipid A is palmitoylated and there is a repeating O-antigen polysaccharide. The ability of SP-A and SP-D to agglutinate and permeabilize wild-type and LPS mutants of B. pertussis and B. bronchiseptica was examined. Previously, wild-type B. pertussis was shown to resist the effects of SP-A; however, LPS mutants lacking the terminal trisaccharide were susceptible to SP-A. In this study, SP-A was found to aggregate and permeabilize a B. bronchiseptica mutant lacking the terminal trisaccharide, while wild-type B. bronchiseptica and mutants lacking only the palmitoyl transferase or O antigen were resistant to SP-A. Wild-type B. pertussis and B. bronchiseptica were both resistant to SP-D; however, LPS mutants of either strain lacking the terminal trisaccharide were aggregated and permeabilized by SP-D. We conclude that the terminal trisaccharide protects Bordetella species from the bactericidal functions of SP-A and SP-D. The O antigen and palmitoylated lipid A of B. bronchiseptica play no role in this resistance.

The 100 MHz spectra of the phenyl protons in 2-(3-chlorophenyl) oxetane and 2-(2-chlorophenyl) oxetane have been analysed. The 60 MHz PMR chemical shifts and proton-proton coupling constants have been studied in the temperature range from -20 C to +80 °C. The chemical shifts were sensitive to temperature, while the coupling constants were not, except the long range 5Jm coupling constant between the methine proton and the meta positioned phenyl proton in 2-(2-chlorophenyl) oxetane.
