Abstract

Upon mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide of Escherichia coli O165, the O-polysaccharide chain was cleaved at the glycosidic linkage of 5-N-acetyl-7-N-[(R)-3-hydroxybutanoyl]pseudaminic acid (Pse5Hb7Ac). Analysis of the resulting linear tetrasaccharide and alkali-treated lipopolysaccharide by (1)H/(13)C 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy enabled elucidation of the following structure of the O-polysaccharide: -->8)-alpha-Psep5Hb7Ac-(2 --> 6)-beta-d-Galp-(1 --> 4)-beta-d-Glsmall es, Cyrillicp-(1 --> 3)-alpha-d-Glsmall es, CyrillicpNAc-(1-->. The beta-d-Galp-(1 --> 4)-beta-d-Glsmall es, Cyrillicp-(1 --> 3)-d-Glsmall es, CyrillicpNAc structural element is also present in the O-polysaccharide of E. coli O82. The content of the O-antigen gene cluster of E. coli O165 was found to be consistent with the O-polysaccharide structure established. Functions of proteins encoded in the gene cluster, including enzymes involved in the Pse5Hb7Ac biosynthesis and glycosyltransferases, were putatively assigned by comparison with sequences in available databases.
