Abstract

The KL26 gene cluster responsible for the synthesis of the K26 capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of Acinetobacter baumannii includes rmlBDAC genes for l-rhamnose (l-Rhap) synthesis, tle to generate 6-deoxy-l-talose (l-6dTalp) from l-Rhap, and a manC gene for D-mannose (D-Manp) that is rare in Acinetobacter CPS. K26 CPS material was isolated from A. baumannii isolate KZ-1098, and studied by sugar analysis, Smith degradation, and one and two-dimensional (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy before and after O-deacetylation with aqueous ammonia. The following structure of the branched hexasaccharide repeating unit of the CPS was established: -->2)-beta-D-Manp-1-->4-beta-D-Glcp-1-->3-alpha-L-6dTalp-1-->3-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1-->3 upward arrow14 vertical lineAcalpha-L-Rhap-2<--1-alpha-D-Glcp The structural depolymerase of phage vB_AbaP_APK26 cleaved selectively the beta-GlcpNAc-(1 --> 2)-alpha-Manp linkage in the K26 CPS formed by Wzy(K26) to give monomer, dimer, and trimer of the CPS repeating unit, which were characterized by high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry as well as (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. The wzy(K26) gene responsible for this linkage and the manC gene were only found in six A. baumannii genomes carrying KL26 and one carrying the novel KL148 gene cluster, indicating the rare occurrence of beta-GlcpNAc-(1 --> 2)-alpha-Manp in A. baumannii CPS structures. However, K26 shares a beta-d-Glcp-(1 --> 3)-alpha-l-6dTalp-(1 --> 3)-beta-d-GlcpNAc trisaccharide fragment with a group of related A. baumannii CPSs that have varying patterns of acetylation of l-6dTalp.
