Studies on the structure and the solution conformation of an acidic extracellular polysaccharide isolated from Bradyrhizobium
Carbohydrate Research 304(3-4) (1997) 209-217
 

The structure of an acidic extracellular polysaccharide isolated from Bradyrhizobium (Chamaecytisus proliferus) has been elucidated by hydrolysis, methylation analysis, and 1D and 2D 1H- and 13C NMR spectroscopy of the complete polysaccharide. The NMR spectrum showed that microheterogeneity was present due to the minor existence of a variety of O-acetyl groups. Thus, a deacetylated sample was prepared by alkaline treatment which was then fully analysed. The deacetylated polysaccharide has the following sequence: →3)-[α-D-Galp-(1→6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→3)-β-D-Glcp-(1→3)-α-D-GalpA-(1→3)-α-D-Manp-(1→ The sample is partially O-methylated at position 4 of the α-D-Galp-(1→6) unit. In addition, the same moiety of the native sample is also partially and heterogeneously O-acetylated. The conformational features of the deacetylated sample have been evaluated by molecular mechanics and dynamics calculations and NOE spectroscopy. The results indicate that the polysaccharide may adopt a variety of three dimensional shapes, and that there is a fair agreement between the NMR-derived distances and those provided by the calculations.
