For the first time, the tetrasaccharide Kdo a2→5 Kdo a2→5 (Kdo a2→4)Kdo (Kdo is 3-deoxy-Dmanno-oct-2-ulopyranosonic acid) has been identified in a bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), i.e. in the core region of LPS from Acinetobacter baumannii NCTC 10303. The LPS was analyzed using compositional analysis, mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy. The disaccharide DGlcpN b1→6 DGlcpN, phosphorylated at O-1 and O-4', was identified as the carbohydrate backbone of the lipid A. The Kdo tetrasaccharide is attached to O-6' of this disaccharide and is further substituted by short L-rhamnoglycans of varying length and by the disaccharide DGlcpNAc a1→4 DGlcpNA (GlcpNA, 2-amino-2-deoxy-glucopyranosuronic acid). The core region is not substituted by phosphate residues and represents a novel core type of bacterial LPS. The complete carbohydrate backbone of the LPS is shown in Structure I as follows: [see formula in text] where Rha is rhamnose. Except were indicated, monosaccharides possess the D-configuration. Sugars marked with an asterisk are present in non-stoichiometric amounts.
