Structural studies of the O-antigens of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis O:2a and mutants thereof with impaired 6-deoxy-D-manno-heptose biosynthesis pathway.
The full structure of the long- and short-chain O-antigen of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis O:2a containing two uncommon deoxy sugars, abequose and 6-deoxy-d-manno-heptose (6dmanHep), was established, for the first time, by sugar analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and high-resolution ESIMS. Similar structural studies were also performed on two O:2a mutants with single disruption of 6dmanHep synthesis pat...
متن کاملCharacterization of the dehydratase WcbK and the reductase WcaG involved in GDP-6-deoxy-manno-heptose biosynthesis in Campylobacter jejuni.
The capsule of Campylobacter jejuni strain 81-176 comprises the unusual 6-deoxy-α-D-altro-heptose, whose biosynthesis and function are not known. In the present study, we characterized enzymes of the capsular cluster, WcbK and WcaG, to determine their role in 6-deoxy-altro-heptose synthesis. These enzymes are similar to the Yersinia pseudotuberculosis GDP-manno-heptose dehydratase/reductase Dmh...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Synthesis of Crystalline 1,2,3,4,6,7-Hexa-O-acetyl-l-glycero-α-d-manno-heptopyranose
The higher-carbon sugar l-glycero-d-manno-heptose is a major constituent of the inner core region of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of many Gram-negative bacteria. All preparative routes used to date require multiple steps, and scalability has been rarely addressed. Here a highly practical synthesis of crystalline 1,2,3,4,6,7-hexa-O-acetyl-l-glycero-α-d-manno-heptopyranose by a simple four-step s...
متن کاملThe crystal structure of the Y140F mutant of ADP-l-glycero-d-manno-heptose 6-epimerase bound to ADP-β-d-mannose suggests a one base mechanism
Bacteria synthesize a wide array of unusual carbohydrate molecules, which they use in a variety of ways. The carbohydrate L-glycero-D-manno-heptose is an important component of lipopolysaccharide and is synthesized in a complex series of enzymatic steps. One step involves the epimerization at the C6'' position converting ADP-D-glycero-D-manno-heptose into ADP-L-glycero-D-manno-heptose. The enzy...
متن کاملThe rfaE gene from Escherichia coli encodes a bifunctional protein involved in biosynthesis of the lipopolysaccharide core precursor ADP-L-glycero-D-manno-heptose.
The intermediate steps in the biosynthesis of the ADP-L-glycero-D-manno-heptose precursor of inner core lipopolysaccharide (LPS) are not yet elucidated. We isolated a mini-Tn10 insertion that confers a heptoseless LPS phenotype in the chromosome of Escherichia coli K-12. The mutation was in a gene homologous to the previously reported rfaE gene from Haemophilus influenzae. The E. coli rfaE gene...
