Glucuronic acid directly linked to galacturonic acid in the rhamnogalacturonan backbone of beet pectins
European Journal of Biochemistry 266(2) (1999) 566-574
 

Sugar-beet pulp was de-esterified and submitted to 72 h hydrolysis by 0.1 M HCl at 80°C. Oligomers containing a single glucuronic acid (GlcA) moiety in addition to n(≥ 2) repeats of the dimer →4)-α-D-GalpA-(1→2)-α-LRhap-(1→ were isolated from the hydrolysate by ion-exchange and gel-permeation. Glycosyl linkage composition analysis and 1H NMR studies indicated that the GlcA was attached to O-3 of a galacturonic acid (GalA) residue, as shown for the two pentamers β-D-GlcpA-(1→)-α-D-GalpA-(1→2)-α-L-Rhap-(1→4)-α-DGalpA-(1→2)-L-Rhap and α-D-GalpA-(1→2)-α-L-Rhap-(1→4)-[β-D-GlcpA-(1→3)]-α-D-GalpA-(1→2)-L-Rhap. Substitution by GlcA was estimated as occurring on one Gala residue out of 72 in the rhamnogalacturonan fraction of the backbone of beet pectins.
