Novel structures of glycoinositolphosphorylceramide (GIPC) from the infective yeast form of Sporothrix schenckii were determined by methylation analysis, mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. The lipid portion was characterized as a ceramide composed of C-18 phytosphingosine N-acylated by either 2-hydroxylignoceric acid (80%), lignoceric (15%) or 2,3-dihydroxylignoceric acids (5%). The ceramide was linked through a phosphodiester to myo-inositol (Ins) which is substituted on position O-6 by an oligomannose chain. GIPC-derived Ins oligomannosides were liberated by ammonolysis and characterized as: Manp-α1→6Ins; Manp-α1→3Manp-α1→6Ins; Manp-α1→6Manp-α1→3Manp-α1→3Manp-α1→6Ins; Manp-α1→2Manp-α1→6Manp-α1→3Manp-α1→3Manp-α1→6Ins. These structures comprise a novel family of fungal GIPC, as they contain the Manp-α1→6Ins substructure, which has not previously been characterized unambigously, and may be acylated with a 2,3-dihydroxylignoceric fatty acid, a feature hitherto undescribed in fungal lipids.
