  King JD, Mulrooney EF, Vinogradov E, Kneidinger B, Mead K, Lam JS "lfnA from Pseudomonas aeruginosa O12 and wbuX from Escherichia coli O145 encode membrane-associated proteins and are required for expression of 2,6-dideoxy-2-acetamidino-L-galactose in lipopolysaccharide O antigen" - Journal of Bacteriology 190(5) (2008) 1671-1679
  

  The rare sugar 2,6-dideoxy-2-acetamidino-L-galactose (L-FucNAm) is found only in bacteria and is a component of cell surface glycans in a number of pathogenic species, including the O antigens of Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotype O12 and Escherichia coli O145. P. aeruginosa is an important opportunistic pathogen, and the O12 serotype is associated with multidrug-resistant epidemic outbreaks. O145 is one of the classic non-O157 serotypes associated with Shiga toxin-producing, enterohemorrhagic E. coli. The acetamidino (NAm) moiety of L-FucNAm is of interest, because at neutral pH it contributes a positive charge to the cell surface, and we aimed to characterize the biosynthesis of this functional group. The pathway is not known, but expression of NAm-modified sugars coincides with the presence of a pseA homologue in the relevant biosynthetic locus. PseA is a putative amidotransferase required for synthesis of a NAm-modified sugar in Campylobacter jejuni. In P. aeruginosa O12 and E. coli O145, the pseA homologues are lfnA and wbuX, respectively, and we hypothesized that these genes function in L-FucNAm biosynthesis. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Western blotting, and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of the lfnA mutant O-antigen structure indicated that the mutant expresses 2,6-dideoxy-2-acetamido-L-galactose (L-FucNAc) in place of L-FucNAm. The mutation could be complemented by expression of either His(6)-tagged lfnA or wbuX in trans, confirming that these genes are functional homologues and that they are required for NAm moiety synthesis. Both proteins retained their activity when fused to a His(6) tag and localized to the membrane fraction. These data will assist future biochemical investigation of this pathway.

  Derivatives of 5,7-diamino-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxynon-2-ulosonic acids are essential constituents of some bacterial polysaccharides and glycoproteins. In order to establish reliably the configuration of the natural sugars, nine stereoisomeric 5,7-diacetamido-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxynon-2-ulosonic acids were synthesized, including di-N-acetyl-legionaminic and -pseudaminic acids (the D-glycero-D-galacto and L-glycero-L-manno isomers, respectively) and their isomers at C-4, C-5, C-7, and C-8 having the L-glycero-D-galacto, D-glycero-D-talo, L-glycero-D-talo, D-glycero-L-altro, L-glycero-L-altro, D-glycero-L-manno, and L-glycero-L-gluco configurations. Synthesis was performed by condensation of 2,4-diacetamido-2,4,6-trideoxy-L-gulose, -D-mannose, -D-talose, and -L-allose with oxalacetic acid under basic conditions, the reaction of the last two precursors being accompanied by epimerisation at C-2. The 1H and 13C NMR data of the synthetic compounds are discussed. Acetylated methyl esters of the C-7 and C-8 isomeric nonulosonic acids were prepared and used for analysis of the side-chain conformation by NMR spectroscopy.

  The structure of the phenol-soluble polysaccharide from Shewanella putrefaciens strain A6 has been elucidated. Chemical modifications of the polymer in conjunction with 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, including 2D techniques, were employed in the analysis. It is concluded that the repeating unit is composed of two nine-carbon sugars as follows: →4)-α-NonpA-(2→3)-β-Sugp-(1→ where α-NonpA is 5-acetamido-7-acetamidino-8-O-acetyl-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxy-L-glycero-α-D-galacto-non-2-ulosonic acid (8eLeg) and β-Sugp is 2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-4-C-(3'-carboxamide-2',2'-dihydroxypropyl)-β-D-galactopyranose, with the proposed name Shewanellose (She).

  Studies on the molecular genetics of bacterial LPS serve at least two main purposes: (i) to help develop an understanding of the biology, biochemistry and genetics of this bacterial surface macromolecule, and (ii) to provide a basis for both vaccine development and virulence experiments. Both of these goals have been the driving force in studies of Yersinia LPS carried out during the last decade. Here we will review the progress made in the molecular genetics and biochemistry of Yersinia LPS. A deep understanding has been achieved with respect to Y. enterocolitica serotype O:3, reaching as far as a detailed analysis of the gene clusters directing the biosynthesis of the outer core oligosaccharide and of the O-ag. The O-ag gene clusters of Y. enterocolitica serotype O:8 and Y. pseudotuberculosis serotypes O:2a and O:5a have also been cloned and partially characterized LPS biosynthesis of these Yersinia species includes examples of the two major variations recognized in the biosynthesis of this macromolecule: (i) homopolymeric or O-antigen polymerase-independent biosynthesis, and (ii) heteropolymeric or O-antigen polymerase-dependent biosynthesis.

  The O antigen obtained from the lipopolysaccharide of Yersinia ruckeri serotype 01, by mild acid hydrolysis, is composed of a branched tetrasaccharide repeating unit containing 2-acetamidino-2,6-dideoxy-l-galactose (l-FucAm), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-glucose (D-GlcNac), and 7-acetamido-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxy-5-(4-hydroxybutyramido)-d-glycero-l-galacto-nonulosonic acid (l-Sug). Partial hydrolysis of the O antigen with 0.1 M HClafforded a trisaccharide and a tetrasaccharide having nonulosonic acid at their reducing ends. Cleavage of the O antigen with anhydrous methanolic hydrogen fluoride afforded the methyl glycoside derivatives of a trisaccharide and a tetrasaccharide. 1H and 13C NMR analysis, including 1H-13C heteronuclear multiple bond correlation spectroscopy to locate the N-acyl substituents, together with mass spectrometric analysis of the above oligosaccharides, allowed the structure of the O-specific polysaccharide to be assigned as: [formula: see text].

  Bacterial surface glycans perform a diverse and important set of biological roles, and have been widely used in the treatment of bacterial infectious diseases. The majority of bacterial surface glycans are decorated with diverse rare functional groups, including amido, acetamidino, carboxamido and pyruvate groups. These functional groups are thought to be important constituents for the biological activities of glycans. Chemical synthesis of glycans bearing these functional groups or their variants is essential for the investigation of structure-activity relationships by a medicinal chemistry approach. To date, a broad choice of synthetic methods is available for targeting the different rare functional groups in bacterial surface glycans. This article reviews the structures of naturally occurring rare functional groups in bacterial surface glycans, and the chemical methods used for installation of these groups.

  The lipopolysaccharide of the bacterium Morganella morganii (strain KF 1676, RK 4222) yielded two polysaccharides, PS1 and PS2, when subjected to mild acid degradation followed by GPC. The polysaccharides were studied by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, including two-dimensional COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, 1H,(13)C HMQC, and HMBC experiments. Each polysaccharide was found to contain a disaccharide repeating unit consisting of two higher sugars, 5-acetamidino-7-acetamido-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxy-L-glycero-D-galacto-non-2-ulosonic acid (a derivative of 8-epilegionaminic acid, 8eLeg5Am7Ac) and 2-acetamido-4-C-(3'-carboxamide-2',2'-dihydroxypropyl)-2,6-dideoxy-D-galactose (shewanellose, She). The two polysaccharides differ only in the ring size of shewanellose and have the following structures:Shewanellose has been previously identified in a phenol-soluble polysaccharide from Shewanella putrefaciens A6, which shows a close structural similarity to PS2.

  This chapter provides an overview of the chemistry of 5,7-diamino-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxynon-2-ulosonic acids in bacterial glycopolymers. Ald-2-ulosonic acids are the important components of natural glycoconjugates. Sialic acids—namely, N- and O-acyl derivatives of 5-amino-3,5-dideoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-non-2-ulosonic acid (neuraminic acid, Neu), generally occur in glycoconjugates of vertebrates and play a significant role in their recognition, regulation, and protection. A deamino analogue of neuraminic acid—3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-non-2-ulosonic acid (Kdn)—has also been found in a variety of animal tissues. 3-Deoxy-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Kdo) is an essential component of lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) of Gram-negative bacteria that functions to link the carbohydrate portion to the lipid moiety. In rare cases, Kdo in LPS is replaced with a 3-hydroxylated analogue—D-glycero-D-talo-oct-2-ulosonic acid. The chapter focuses on the occurrence and characterization of derivatives of 5,7-diamino-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxynon-2-ulosonic acids and presents experimental approaches that are used to identify them and to elucidate the structures of the bacterial polysaccharides that contain the nonulosonic acids. It also presents the recent data on the biosynthesis of these sugars and discusses their role in immune recognition.

  The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the major constituent of the outer leaflet of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Its lipid A moiety is embedded in the membrane and serves as an anchor for the rest of the LPS molecule. The outermost repetitive glycan region of the LPS is linked to the lipid A through a core oligosaccharide (OS), and is designated as the O-specific polysaccharide (O-polysaccharide, OPS) or O-antigen. The O-antigen is the most variable portion of the LPS and provides serological specificity, which is used for bacterial serotyping. The OPS also provides protection to the microorganisms from host defenses such as complement mediated killing and phagocytosis, and is involved in interactions of bacteria with plants and bacteriophages. Studies of the OPSs ranging from the elucidation of their chemical structures and conformations to their biological and physico-chemical properties help improving classification schemes of Gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, these studies contributed to a better understanding of the mechanisms of pathogenesis of infectious diseases, as well as provided information to develop novel vaccines and diagnostic reagents.

The chapter focuses on the occurrence and characterization of derivatives of 5,7-diamino-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxynon-2-ulosonic acids and presents experimental approaches that are used to identify them and to elucidate the structures of the bacterial polysaccharides that contain the nonulosonic acids. It also presents the recent data on the biosynthesis of these sugars and discusses their role in immune recognition.

  The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the major constituent of the outer leaflet of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Its lipid A moiety is embedded in the membrane and serves as an anchor for the rest of the LPS molecule. The outermost repetitive glycan region of the LPS is linked to the lipid A through a core oligosaccharide (OS), and is designated as the O-specific polysaccharide (O-polysaccharide, OPS) or O-antigen. The O-antigen is the most variable portion of the LPS and provides serological specificity, which is used for bacterial serotyping. The OPS also provides protection to the microorganisms from host defenses such as complement mediated killing and phagocytosis, and is involved in interactions of bacteria with plants and bacteriophages. Studies of the OPSs ranging from the elucidation of their chemical structures and conformations to their biological and physico-chemical properties help improving classification schemes of Gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, these studies contributed to a better understanding of the mechanisms of pathogenesis of infectious diseases, as well as provided information to develop novel vaccines and diagnostic reagents.

  The chemical structures of polysaccharides and LPS core oligosaccharides, isolated from various Gram-negative marine bacteria from the genera Pseudoalteromonas and Shewanella belonging to the Alteromonadaceae family and gamma-subclass of Proteobacteria, are reviewed. The polysaccharides are distinguished by the acidic character (e.g., due to the presence of hexuronic and aldulosonic acids and their derivatives) and the occurrence of unusual sugars, including N-acyl derivatives of 6-deoxyamino sugars, such as N-acetyl-D-quinovosamine, N-acetyl-L-fucosamine and N-acetyl-6-deoxy-L-talosamine, and higher sugars like 2,6-dideoxy-2-acetamido-4-C-(3'-carboxamide-2',2'-dihydroxypropyl)-D-galac topyranose (shewanellose). Many constituent sugars have various uncommon non-sugar substituents, such as alanine, formic, lactic and hydroxybutyric acids, sulfate, phosphate, and 2-aminopropane-1,3-diol.

  Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes serious nosocomial infections, and an important virulence factor produced by this organism is lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This review summarizes knowledge about biosynthesis of all three structural domains of LPS - lipid A, core oligosaccharide, and O polysaccharides. In addition, based on similarities with other bacterial species, this review proposes new hypothetical pathways for unstudied steps in the biosynthesis of P. aeruginosa LPS. Lipid A biosynthesis is discussed in relation to Escherichia coli and Salmonella, and the biosyntheses of core sugar precursors and core oligosaccharide are summarised. Pseudomonas aeruginosa attaches a Common Polysaccharide Antigen and O-Specific Antigen polysaccharides to lipid A-core. Both forms of O polysaccharide are discussed with respect to their independent synthesis mechanisms. Recent advances in understanding O-polysaccharide biosynthesis since the last major review on this subject, published nearly a decade ago, are highlighted. Since P. aeruginosa O polysaccharides contain unusual sugars, sugar-nucleotide biosynthesis pathways are reviewed in detail. Knowledge derived from detailed studies in the O5, O6 and O11 serotypes is applied to predict biosynthesis pathways of sugars in poorly-studied serotypes, especially O1, O4, and O13/O14. Although further work is required, a full understanding of LPS biosynthesis in P. aeruginosa is almost within reach.

It is important for bacterium-host interactions and has been shown to be a major virulence factor for this organism. Structurally, P. aeruginosa LPS is composed of three domains, namely, lipid A, core oligosaccharide, and the distal O antigen (O-Ag). Most P. aeruginosa strains produce two distinct forms of O-Ag, one a homopolymer of D-rhamnose that is a common polysaccharide antigen (CPA, formerly termed A band), and the other a heteropolymer of three to five distinct (and often unique dideoxy) sugars in its repeat units, known as O-specific antigen (OSA, formerly termed B band). Compositional differences in the O units among the OSA from different strains form the basis of the International Antigenic Typing Scheme for classification via serotyping of different strains of P. aeruginosa. The focus of this review is to provide state-of-the-art knowledge on the genetic and resultant functional diversity of LPS produced by P. aeruginosa. The underlying factors contributing to this diversity will be thoroughly discussed and presented in the context of its contributions to host-pathogen interactions and the control/prevention of infection.

  Islam ST, Lam JS "Synthesis of bacterial polysaccharides via the Wzx/Wzy-dependent pathway" - Canadian Journal of Microbiology 60(11) (2014) 697-716
  

  The surfaces of bacteria mediate a multitude of functions in the environment and in an infected host, including adhesion to both biotic and abiotic substrata, motility, immune system interaction and (or) activation, biofilm formation, and cell-cell communication, with many of these features directly influenced by cell-surface glycans. In both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, the majority of cell-surface polysaccharides are produced via the Wzx/Wzy-dependent assembly pathway; these glycans include heteropolymeric O-antigen, enterobacterial common antigen, exopolysaccharide, spore coat, and capsule in diverse bacteria. The key components of this assembly pathway are the integral inner membrane Wzx flippase, Wzy polymerase, and Wzz chain-length regulator proteins, which until recently have resisted detailed structural and functional characterization. In this review, we have provided a comprehensive synthesis of the latest structural and mechanistic data for each protein, as well as an examination of substrate specificity for each assembly step and complex formation between the constituent proteins. To complement the unprecedented explosion of genomic-sequencing data for bacteria, we have also highlighted both classical and state-of-the-art methods by which encoded Wzx, Wzy, and Wzz proteins can be reliably identified and annotated, using the model Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa as an example data set. Lastly, we outline future avenues of research, with the aim of stimulating researchers to take the next steps in investigating the function of, and interplay between, the constituents of this widespread assembly scheme.

  The structure of the surface polysaccharide from a hypervirulent for mice Acinetobacter baumannii strain LAC-4 was studied. The polysaccharide was built of trisaccharide repeating units containing α-l-fucosamine, α-d-glucosamine, and α-8-epi-legionaminic acid. The structure interpretation was based mostly on NMR data. Polysaccharide was obtained using a procedure of LPS O-chain preparation, although whether it is an LPS O-chain or capsular polysaccharide remained unclear.

  Bacterial surface glycans perform a diverse and important set of biological roles, and have been widely used in the treatment of bacterial infectious diseases. The majority of bacterial surface glycans are decorated with diverse rare functional groups, including amido, acetamidino, carboxamido and pyruvate groups. These functional groups are thought to be important constituents for the biological activities of glycans. Chemical synthesis of glycans bearing these functional groups or their variants is essential for the investigation of structure-activity relationships by a medicinal chemistry approach. To date, a broad choice of synthetic methods is available for targeting the different rare functional groups in bacterial surface glycans. This article reviews the structures of naturally occurring rare functional groups in bacterial surface glycans, and the chemical methods used for installation of these groups.

  This chapter provides an overview of the chemistry of 5,7-diamino-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxynon-2-ulosonic acids in bacterial glycopolymers. Ald-2-ulosonic acids are the important components of natural glycoconjugates. Sialic acids—namely, N- and O-acyl derivatives of 5-amino-3,5-dideoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-non-2-ulosonic acid (neuraminic acid, Neu), generally occur in glycoconjugates of vertebrates and play a significant role in their recognition, regulation, and protection. A deamino analogue of neuraminic acid—3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-non-2-ulosonic acid (Kdn)—has also been found in a variety of animal tissues. 3-Deoxy-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Kdo) is an essential component of lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) of Gram-negative bacteria that functions to link the carbohydrate portion to the lipid moiety. In rare cases, Kdo in LPS is replaced with a 3-hydroxylated analogue—D-glycero-D-talo-oct-2-ulosonic acid. The chapter focuses on the occurrence and characterization of derivatives of 5,7-diamino-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxynon-2-ulosonic acids and presents experimental approaches that are used to identify them and to elucidate the structures of the bacterial polysaccharides that contain the nonulosonic acids. It also presents the recent data on the biosynthesis of these sugars and discusses their role in immune recognition.

  The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the major constituent of the outer leaflet of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Its lipid A moiety is embedded in the membrane and serves as an anchor for the rest of the LPS molecule. The outermost repetitive glycan region of the LPS is linked to the lipid A through a core oligosaccharide (OS), and is designated as the O-specific polysaccharide (O-polysaccharide, OPS) or O-antigen. The O-antigen is the most variable portion of the LPS and provides serological specificity, which is used for bacterial serotyping. The OPS also provides protection to the microorganisms from host defenses such as complement mediated killing and phagocytosis, and is involved in interactions of bacteria with plants and bacteriophages. Studies of the OPSs ranging from the elucidation of their chemical structures and conformations to their biological and physico-chemical properties help improving classification schemes of Gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, these studies contributed to a better understanding of the mechanisms of pathogenesis of infectious diseases, as well as provided information to develop novel vaccines and diagnostic reagents.

  Salmonella spp. are pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria that belong to Enterobacteriaceae family with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a constituent of cell wall. This is an integral component of the outer membrane of the wall. Salmonella smooth (S) forms produce LPS, which is composed of three parts, chemically bonded together viz. polysaccharide O-antigen, oligosaccharide core region and lipid A. Antigens O (O-PS) together with H flagella antigens are the foundation of serological classification of these bacteria. O-chain, which is built with up to 50 oligosaccharide repeating units, is one of the products of mild acidic hydrolysis of LPS. Due to the fact that polysaccharide antigens are the sites of specific antibody complexing, any difference in primary and secondary structures of O-antigens reflect serological specificity of bacteria. Taking this fact into consideration, we can distinguish about 2541 Salmonella serotypes with O and H antigenic formulas defined [4]. In this review we present 55 chemical structures of O-antigenic repeating units of Salmonella strains including their heterogeneity structures. The structures can have 22 different monosaccharide residues usually in 3 to 6 sugar repeating units. We describe here selected chemical and spectroscopic (MS, NMR) methods for primary structure examination of these bacterial O-PS. Enzymatic and immunochemical methods are also described. Cross-reactions of Salmonella spp. with any other bacteria or blood group A, B, 0 antigens are explained on the molecular level. Thus, structural assignments of somatic antigens of Salmonella spp. allow us to understand the molecular level of the classification system of these bacteria.

  This review summarizes data on the composition and structure of the O-antigens, the polysaccharide chains of the outer-membrane lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Gram-negative bacteria defining the immunospecificity of these microbial cells. Special reference is given to some structural features of the O-antigens, such as the presence of unique monosaccharides and noncarbohydrate components, masked regularity, and the occurrence in one microorganism of LPS with structurally different polysaccharide chains. Antigenic relationships between microorganisms belonging to different taxonomic groups are discussed.

The structure of the O-specific polysaccharide chain of the lipopolysaccharide from P. aeruginosa O13 (Lányi)" - European Journal of Biochemistry 163 (1987) 627-637
  

  The O-specific polysaccharide, obtained on mild acid degradation of lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas aeruginosa O13 (Lányi classification), is built up of trisaccharide repeating units involving 2-acetamidino-2,6-dideoxy-D-glucose (N-acetyl-D-quinovosamine, D-QuiNAc), 2-acetamidino-2,6-dideoxy-L-galactose (L-fucosacetamidine, L-FucAm), and a new sialic-acid-like sugar, 5,7-diacetamido-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxy-D-glycero-L-galacto-nonulosonic acid (Sug), and thus contains simultaneously both acidic and basic functions. Cleavage of the polysaccharide with hydrogen fluoride in methanol revealed the high stability of the glycosidic linkage of the ulosonic acid and afforded methyl glycosides of a disaccharide and a trisaccharide. The structures of the new ulosonic acid and acetamidino group were established by analysing the oligosaccharide fragments by 1H, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, as well as on the basis of their chemical conversions: alkaline hydrolysis of the acetamidino group into acetamido group, reductive deamination with lithium borohydride into the ethylamino group and acetylation with acetic anhydride in pyridine accompanied by intramolecular acylation of the acetamidino function by the ulosonic acid to form a six-membered lactam ring. Identification of the oligosaccharide fragments and comparative analysis of the 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the oligosaccharides and polysaccharide revealed the following structure of the repeating unit: →3)D-QuiNAcp(α1→3)Sugp(α2→3)L-FucAmp(α1→.

  The non-mammalian nonulosonic acid sugar pseudaminic acid (Pse) is present on the surface of a number of human pathogens including Campylobacter jejuni and Helicobacter pylori and other bacteria such as multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. It is likely important for evasion of the host immune sysyem, and also plays a role in bacterial motility through flagellin glycosylation. Herein we review the mechanistic and structural characterisation of the enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of the Pse parent structure, Pse5Ac7Ac in bacteria.
