Structural studies of the putative O-specific polysaccharide of Acinetobacter baumannii O24 containing 5,7-diamino-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxy-L-glycero-D-galacto-nonulosonic acid
European Journal of Biochemistry 250 (1997) 617-623
 

A polysaccharide containing D-GlcN, 2-amino-2,6-dideoxy-L-galactose (L-FucN), and 7-acetamido-5-acylamino-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxy-L-glycero-D-galacto-nonulo sonic acid (LegAX), in which the acyl group (X) is either S-3-hydroxybutyryl (50%) or acetyl (50%), was isolated by mild acid hydrolysis treatment, followed by gel-permeation chromatography, of the water-soluble lipopolysaccharide from Acinetobacter baumannii serogroup O24. The polysaccharide, characterised by means of monosaccharide analyses, partial acid hydrolysis, methylation analysis and NMR studies, was shown to have a linear tetrasaccharide repeating unit, as depicted below. Serological tests indicated that the polymer corresponded to the O24 antigen. [→6)-α-D-GlcpNAc-(1→3)-α-L-FucpNAc-(1→3)-α-D-Glcp NAc-(1→4)-β-LegpAX-(1→].

5,7-Diamino-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxynon-2-ulosonic acids in bacterial glycopolymers: chemistry and biochemistry
Book: Advances in Carbohydrate Chemistry and Biochemistry (2003) Vol. 58, 371-417
 

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.

Structure of O-antigens
Book: Bacterial lipopolysaccharides: Structure, chemical synthesis, biogenesis and interaction with host cells (2011) Chapter 3, 41-115
 

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.

Surface polysaccharides from Acinetobacter baumannii: Structures and syntheses
Carbohydrate Research 418 (2015) 29-43
 

The emergence of multidrug-resistance Acinetobacter baumannii requires novel approaches for prevention, treatment and diagnosis. The structures of surface polysaccharides from A. baumannii are valuable tools to understand pathogenesis, virulence and immunogenicity. The synthesis of bacterial mono- or polysaccharides may result in novel probes to become important therapeutic options in the fight against A. baumannii. This report exemplifies the relevance of glycochemistry for the development of new antibiotics.

Chemical approaches towards installation of rare functional groups in bacterial surface glycans
Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines = Zhongguo Tianran Yaowu 20(6) (2022) 401-420
 

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.
