The structure of the repeating unit of the O-antigenic polysaccharide (PS) from Escherichia coli O174 has been determined. Component analysis together with (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy experiments were employed to elucidate the structure. Inter-residue correlations were determined by (1)H,(13)C-heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation and (1)H,(1)H-NOESY experiments. The PS is composed of tetrasaccharide repeating units with the following structure: Cross-peaks of low intensity were present in the NMR spectra consistent with a β-D-GlcpNAc-(1→2)-β-D-GlcpA(1→ structural element at the terminal part of the polysaccharide, which on average is composed of approximately 15 repeating units. Consequently the biological repeating unit has a 3-substituted N-acetyl-d-galactosamine residue at its reducing end.
