چکیده
The cell wall lipopolysaccharide of Escherichia coli 011 l-B4 was degraded by (a) acid hydrolysis and (b) by treatment with periodate, followed by reduction with sodium borohydride and mild acid hydrolysis. The various oligosaccharides produced by these procedures were isolated and characterized by chemical and enzymatic methods. Procedure (I released all of the colitose (3,6-dideoxy-~-xylohexose) as the free sugar along with several oligosaccharides in very low yield, three of which were identified as Glc +

Influence of Core Oligosaccharide of Lipopolysaccharide to Outer Membrane Behavior of Escherichia coli
Lipopolysaccharides, major molecules in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, play important roles on membrane integrity of the cell. However, how the core oligosaccharide of lipopolysaccharide affect the membrane behavior is not well understood. In this study, the relationship between the core oligosaccharide of lipopolysaccharide and the membrane behavior was investigated using a seri...
متن کاملStructural studies on the Escherichia coli O101 lipopolysaccharide found in association with F41 and K99 fimbriae.
In this study it was shown that the O101 lipopolysaccharide isolated from Escherichia coli B41 did not contain an O-specific polysaccharide and that its sugar moiety is probably restricted to the core oligosaccharide. It is characterized by the presence of galactose, glucose, N-acetylglucosamine, heptose and 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid and the fatty acid composition is typical of an Ente...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of the Escherichia coli Heptosyltransferase III: Exploring substrate specificity in lipopolysaccharide core biosynthesis.
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecules are an important cell surface component that enables adhesion to surfaces and cell motility, amongst other functions. In Escherichia coli, there are multiple Heptosyltransferase enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of the core region of LPS. Here we describe the first ever cloning, expression, purification and characterization of Heptosyltransferase ...
متن کاملThe assembly system for the lipopolysaccharide R2 core-type of Escherichia coli is a hybrid of those found in Escherichia coli K-12 and Salmonella enterica. Structure and function of the R2 WaaK and WaaL homologs.
In Escherichia coli F632, the 14-kilobase pair chromosomal region located between waaC (formerly rfaC) and waaA (kdtA) contains genes encoding enzymes required for the synthesis of the type R2 core oligosaccharide portion of lipopolysaccharide. Ten of the 13 open reading frames encode predicted products sharing greater than 90% total similarity with homologs in E. coli K-12. However, the produc...
متن کاملOverexpression of Full-Length Core Protein of Hepatitis C Virus by Escherichia coli Cultivated in Stirred Tank Fermentor
The mature core protein of the Hepatitis C virus (HCVC173) carrying pelB as a signal peptide (PelB::core) was overexpressed in Escherichia coli as 18% and 23.3% of the host’s total protein, in flask and fermentor cultivation, respectively. A final specific yield of 25 ± 1 mg HCVC173/g dry cell weight and an overallproductivity of 51±1 mg HCVC173/l/h were obtained in the stirred-tank ferme...
