Carbohydrate Research 338(24) (2003) 2905-2912
The detection of antibodies specific to meningococcal lipo-oligosaccharides (LOSs; outer-core→inner-core→lipid A) in sera of patients convalescent from meningococcal infection suggests the potential use of LOS as a vaccine to combat pathogenic Neisseria spp. Removal of the outer-core region, which expresses glycans homologous to human blood-group antigens, is a required first-step in order to avoid undesirable immunological reactions following vaccination. To this end, we describe here the structural makeup of the LOS produced by serogroup B N. meningitidis NMB isogenic phosphoglucomutase (Pgm) mutant (NMB-R6). The dominant LOS types produced by NMB-R6 expressed a deep-truncated inner-core region, GlcNAc-(1→2)-LDHepII-(1→3)-LDHepI-(1→5)-[Kdo 2→4]-Kdo → lipid A, with one PEA unit attached at either O-6 or O-7 of LDHepII, or with two simultaneously PEA moieties attached at O-3 and O-6 or O-3 and O-7 of the same unit. Unexpectedly, this mutation did not completely deactivate the production of Glc, as some LOS molecules were observed to carry Glc at O-4 of LDHepI and at O-3 of LDHepII. A glycoconjugate vaccine comprised of NMB-R6 LOSs is currently being evaluated in our laboratory.

Infection and Immunity 72(1) (2004) 559-569
A panel of six murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) recognizing inner core lipopolysaccharide (LPS) epitopes of Neisseria meningitidis was prepared and characterized in order to determine the diversity of inner core LPS glycoforms among disease and carrier isolates. Two of these MAbs, L2-16 (immunoglobulin G2b [IgG2b]) and LPT3-1 (IgG2a), together with a third, previously described MAb, L3B5 (IgG3), showed reactivity, either individually or in combination, with all except 3 of 143 disease and carriage isolates (125 of 126 strains from blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or skin biopsy samples and 15 of 17 from nasopharyngeal cultures). MAbs L3B5, L2-16, and LPT3-1 were further characterized in an indirect immunofluorescence assay. All three MAbs bound to the bacterial cell surface, findings that correlated strongly with whole-cell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunodot blots. However, in contrast to our findings with L3B5, cell surface binding of L2-16 or LPT 3-1 did not correlate with functional activity as determined by bactericidal or infant rat passive protection assays against wild-type N. meningitidis strains. These findings are provocative with respect to the requirements for protective activity of antibodies and the development of inner core LPS vaccines against invasive meningococcal disease.

Wright JC, Hood DW, Randle GA, Makepeace K, Cox AD, Li J, Chalmers R, Richards JC, Moxon ER "lpt6, a gene required for addition of phosphoethanolamine to inner-core lipopolysaccharide of Neisseria meningitidis and Haemophilus influenzae" -
Journal of Bacteriology 186(20) (2004) 6970-6982
We previously described a gene, lpt3, required for the addition of phosphoethanolamine (PEtn) at the 3 position on the beta-chain heptose (HepII) of the inner-core Neisseria meningitidis lipopolysaccharide (LPS), but it has long been recognized that the inner-core LPS of some strains possesses PEtn at the 6 position (PEtn-6) on HepII. We have now identified a gene, lpt6 (NMA0408), that is required for the addition of PEtn-6 on HepII. The lpt6 gene is located in a region previously identified as Lgt-3 and is associated with other LPS biosynthetic genes. We screened 113 strains, representing all serogroups and including disease and carriage strains, for the lpt3 and lpt6 genes and showed that 36% contained both genes, while 50% possessed lpt3 only and 12% possessed lpt6 only. The translated amino acid sequence of lpt6 has a homologue (72.5% similarity) in a product of the Haemophilus influenzae Rd genome sequence. Previous structural studies have shown that all H. influenzae strains investigated have PEtn-6 on HepII. Consistent with this, we found that, among 70 strains representing all capsular serotypes and nonencapsulated H. influenzae strains, the lpt6 homologue was invariably present. Structural analysis of LPS from H. influenzae and N. meningitidis strains where lpt6 had been insertionally inactivated revealed that PEtn-6 on HepII could not be detected. The translated amino acid sequences from the N. meningitidis and H. influenzae lpt6 genes have conserved residues across their lengths and are part of a family of proven or putative PEtn transferases present in a wide range of gram-negative bacteria.

Infection and Immunity 67(10) (1999) 5417-5426
We investigated the conservation and antibody accessibility of inner core epitopes of Neisseria meningitidis lipopolysaccharide (LPS) because of their potential as vaccine candidates. An immunoglobulin G3 murine monoclonal antibody (MAb), designated MAb B5, was obtained by immunizing mice with a galE mutant of N. meningitidis H44/76 (B.15.P1.7,16 immunotype L3). We have shown that MAb B5 can bind to the core LPS of wild-type encapsulated MC58 (B.15.P1.7,16 immunotype L3) organisms in vitro and ex vivo. An inner core structure recognized by MAb B5 is conserved and accessible in 26 of 34 (76%) of group B and 78 of 112 (70%) of groups A, C, W, X, Y, and Z strains. N. meningitidis strains which possess this epitope are immunotypes in which phosphoethanolamine (PEtn) is linked to the 3-position of the b-chain heptose (HepII) of the inner core. In contrast, N. meningitidis strains lacking reactivity with MAb B5 have an alternative core structure in which PEtn is linked to an exocyclic position (i.e., position 6 or 7) of HepII (immunotypes L2, L4, and L6) or is absent (immunotype L5). We conclude that MAb B5 defines one or more of the major inner core glycoforms of N. meningitidis LPS. These findings support the possibility that immunogens capable of eliciting functional antibodies specific to inner core structures could be the basis of a vaccine against invasive infections caused by N. meningitidis.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA 95(18) (1998) 10872-10877
The lipooligosaccharide from Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC), consists of lipid A, an oligosaccharide core and three branches, alpha, beta, and gamma. We report the cloning of the gene (lgtG, lipooligosaccharide glycosyl transferase G) encoding the glucosyl transferase of GC that initiates the beta chain which consists of a lactosyl moiety. This gene contains a homopolymeric tract of cytidine [poly(C)] and we demonstrate that changes in the number of Cs in poly(C) account for the variation of beta chain expression in different GC strains. Biochemical analyses and mass spectrometry clearly attribute the reactivity of mAb 2C7 to the presence of the lactosyl beta chain. In addition, we demonstrate that in the absence of the lactosyl group, a phosphoethanolamine is added to generate a new antigenic epitope as evidenced by the gain of reactivity to mAb 2-L1-8. These results show that, like the alpha chain, the beta chain of lipooligosaccharide is subject to antigenic variation.

Glycobiology 15(4) (2005) 409-419
Neisseria meningitidis expresses a heterogeneous population of lipooligosaccharide (LOS) inner cores variously substituted with α1-3-linked glucose and O-3, O-6, and O-7 linked phosphoethanolamine (PEA), as well as glycine, attached to HepII. Combinations of these attachments to the LOS inner core represent immunodominant epitopes that are being exploited as future vaccine candidates. Historically, each LOS immunotype was structurally assessed and prescribed a certain unique inner core epitope. We report that a single isolate, strain NMB, possesses the capacity to produce all of the known neisserial LOS inner core immunotype structures. Analysis of the inner cores from parental LOS revealed the presence or absence of α1,3-linked glucose, O-6 and/or O-7 linked PEA, in addition to glycine attached at the 7 position of the HepII inner core. Identification and inactivation of lpt-6 in strain NMB resulted in the loss of both O-6 and O-7 linked PEA groups from the LOS inner core, suggesting that Lpt-6 of strain NMB may have bifunctional transferase activities or that the O-6 linked PEA groups once attached to the inner core undergo nonenzymatic transfer to the O-7 position of HepII. Although O-3 linked PEA was not detected in parental LOS inner cores devoid of α1-3-linked glucose residues, LOS glycoforms bearing O-3 PEA groups accumulated in a truncated mutant, NMBlgtK (Hep2Kdo2-lipid A). Because these structures disappeared upon inactivation of the lpt-3 locus, strain NMB expresses a functional O-3 PEA transferase. The LOS glycoforms expressed by NMBlgtK were also devoid of glycine attachments, indicating that glycine was added to the inner core after the completion of the gamma-chain by LgtK. In conclusion, strain NMB has the capability to express all known inner core structures, but in in vitro culture L2 and L4 immunotype structures are predominantly expressed.

Journal of Biological Chemistry 281(29) (2006) 19939-19948
O-Acetylation is a common decoration on endotoxins derived from many Gram-negative bacterial species, and it has been shown to be instrumental (e.g. in Salmonella typhimurium) in determining the final tertiary structure of the endotoxin and the immunogenicity of the molecule. Structural heterogeneity of endotoxins produced by mucosal pathogens such as Neisseria meningitidis is determined by decorations on the heptose inner core, including O-acetylation of the terminal N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) attached to HepII. In this report, we show that O-acetylation of the meningococcal lipooligosaccharide (LOS) inner core has an important role in determining inner core assembly and immunotype expression. The gene encoding the LOS O-acetyltransferase, lot3, was identified by homology to NodX from Rhizobium leguminosarum. Inactivation of lot3 in strain NMB resulted in the loss of the O-acetyl group located at the C-3 position of the terminal GlcNAc of the LOS inner core. Inactivation of either lot3 or lgtG, which encodes the HepII glucosyltransferase, did not result in the appearance of the O-3-linked phosphoethanolamine (PEA) groups on the LOS inner core. Construction of a double mutant in which both lot3 and lgtG were inactivated resulted in the appearance of O-3-linked PEA groups on the LOS inner core. In conclusion, O-acetylation status of the terminal GlcNAc of the gamma-chain of the meningococcal LOS inner core is an important determinant for the appearance or exclusion of the O-3-linked PEA group on the LOS inner core and contributes to LOS structural diversity. O-Acetylation also likely influences resistance to complement-mediated lysis and may be important in LOS conjugate vaccine design.

Glycobiology 19(12) (2009) 1436-1445
Previous studies on LPS from Neisseria meningitidis strains M992B, the immunotype L6 strain, NMB, the type strain, a candidate LPS vaccine strain 6275z and an extensively used clinical strain M986 had suggested that the location of the phosphoethanolamine (PEtn) residue was the 7-position of the distal heptose residue (Hep II) of the inner core oligosaccharide (OS). In all cases this was only established by chemical methods, methylation linkage analyses. In this study we have used standard NMR techniques to unequivocally show that the PEtn residue is actually located at the 6-position and not the 7-position of the Hep II residue in all of these strains. The 6-PEtn transferase genes were sequenced and their translated amino acid sequences were shown to be greater than 96% identical to that of the Lpt6 transferase from the L4 immunotype strain, which has been shown to transfer PEtn to the 6-position of the distal heptose residue. We discuss the implications of these findings with respect to the immunotyping scheme for the meningococci and in the context of LPS-based vaccine development

Chemical Reviews (2021)
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a crucial constituent of the outer membrane of most Gram-negative bacteria, playing a fundamental role in the protection of bacteria from environmental stress factors, in drug resistance, in pathogenesis, and in symbiosis. During the last decades, LPS has been thoroughly dissected, and massive information on this fascinating biomolecule is now available. In this Review, we will give the reader a third millennium update of the current knowledge of LPS with key information on the inherent peculiar carbohydrate chemistry due to often puzzling sugar residues that are uniquely found on it. Then, we will drive the reader through the complex and multifarious immunological outcomes that any given LPS can raise, which is strictly dependent on its chemical structure. Further, we will argue about issues that still remain unresolved and that would represent the immediate future of LPS research. It is critical to address these points to complete our notions on LPS chemistry, functions, and roles, in turn leading to innovative ways to manipulate the processes involving such a still controversial and intriguing biomolecule.
