NMR Investigation of the Influence of Sulfate Groups at C‐2 and C‐4 on the Conformational Behavior of Fucoidan Fragments with Homo‐(1→3)‐Linked Backbone#

The conformational behavior of 2‐O‐ and 4‐O‐sulfated derivatives of linear (1→3)‐linked di‐, tri‐, and tetrafucosides and 2,3‐branched tetrafucoside was studied by means of theoretical molecular modeling and experimental determination of trans‐glycosidic vicinal coupling constants ³J_C,H. It was shown that O‐sulfation of (1→3)‐linked oligofucosides restricts their conformational flexibility and changes the conformational equilibrium if compared with the parent nonsulfated oligosaccharides. In the case of 2‐O‐sulfated oligofucosides, the conformations of O‐glycoside linkages depend on its location within the oligosaccharide chain and the chain length as well as on the presence of a 2,3‐branch, whereas the conformation of the (1→3)‐linkage in the presence of a 4‐O‐sulfate group only depends on the presence of a 2,3‐branch.

The positions of the labile sulfate substituents were observable using SORI-CID, enabling the determination of the sequence of the sulfated residues.     

ISOLATION AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF NEW FRUCTANS PRODUCED BY CHICORY

This report describes a new series of oligosaccharides, which is formed in chicory roots under forcing conditions and during in vitro experiments using purified chicory 1-FFT (fructan:fructan 1-fructosyl transferase). It was demonstrated that the three smallest members of this new series (disaccharide, trisaccharide and tetrasaccharide) contain exclusively β-D-fructosyl residues after hydrolysis. The present data demonstrate that the smallest compound is levanbiose and that the other oligomers of this new series of fructans do not belong to the linear 2→6 linked levan-oligosaccharides nor to the linear 2→1 linked inulo-oligosaccharides. A combination of several chromatographic techniques yielded a fraction that contained only the compound with degree of polymerisation (DP) 2 (levanbiose, β-D-fructofuranosyl-(2→6)-D-fructofuranose), and a mixture of DP 3 of the new series and 1-kestose. Using homonuclear and heteronuclear 2D NMR experiments the complete ¹H and ¹³C NMR assignments of levanbiose and DP 3 were obtained. From High Performance Anion Exchange Chromatography (HPAEC) and NMR experiments of DP 3 of the new series it was concluded that the molecule contains a β-D-fructofuranosyl residue 2→1 linked to the non-reducing moiety of levanbiose, and thus has to be named β-D-fructofuranosyl-(2→1)-β-D-fructofuranosyl-(2→6)-D-fructofuranose. The simple and regular pattern of the HPAEC retention times of the new oligosaccharides suggests that it is a homologous series of oligomers build by 2→1 elongation with β-D-fructofuranosyl residues at the non-reducing residue of levanbiose.     

Diagnostic ions for the rapid analysis by nano-electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry of O-glycans from human mucins

Nano-electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (nanoESI-Q-TOFMS) was used for sensitive mapping and sequencing of underivatized oligosaccharide alditols obtained from human mucins. Using subnanomolar amounts of oligosaccharides previously analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), series of diagnostic ions relevant to the structural characterization of O-glycans were deduced. Determination of the core type as well as positions and partial linkages of fucose residues could be readily obtained from the dominant [M+Na](+) ions. Differentiation of isomeric structures and glycosidic linkages were defined by the characteristic cross-ring (0,2)A-type cleavages in the negative ion mode. Tandem (MS/MS) mass spectra of [M-H](-) ions from sialylated or sulfated O-glycans revealed information concerning the position and linkage of such residues. These fragmentation rules were further applied in the structural determination of glycans from human colonic mucins. All these findings indicated the efficiency of ESI-Q-TOFMS for the determination of oligosaccharide composition, sequence, partial linkage and substitution, providing a wealth of structural information with sensitivity sufficient for the analysis of quantities as obtained from natural sources.     

Sulfated Galactans of Champia indica and Champia parvula (Rhodymeniales,Rhodophyta) of Indian Waters

Sulfated galactans of the red seaweed species Champia indica and Champia parvula of Indian waters were extracted and purified by ion exchange chromatography. These were characterized by infrared and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy as well as by GC-MS analysis of alditol acetate derivatives produced by reductive hydrolysis/acetylation of sulfated and desulfated and their methylated samples. The sulfated galactans of these Champia species contained alternating β-(1→3)-linked galactopyranosyl units with sulfation at the 2-position and α-(1→4)-linked galactopyranosyl units having sulfation at both the 2- and 3-positions. Other minor substitutions included 6-O-methyl ether of the β-(1→3)-linked galactose residues only in Champia parvula.     

Polysaccharides of Algae 71*. Polysaccharides of the Pacific brown alga <Emphasis Type="Italic">Alaria marginata</Emphasis>

The polysaccharide composition in sporophylls of the brown alga Alaria marginata enriched with laminaran and sulfated polysaccharides was studied. It was shown that laminaran molecules had an average degree of polymerization about 30 and consisted mainly of 3-linked β-D-glucopyranose residues, having no more than 10% of 1→6 linkages. The majority of chains (about 60%) were terminated at "reducing" end by mannitol residue. Alginic acid of sporophylls contained mannuronic (M) and guluronic (G) acids residues distributed along the linear polymer molecules as MM, MG, and GG blocks at a ratio of 4: 1: 1. Fucoidan was found to be composed of fucose, galactose, and sulfate as the major constituents, while xylose, mannose, glucuronic acid, and acetate were the minor components. It was shown that fucoidan contained two major components: fucan sulfate, molecules of which are built up of 3-linked fucopyranose residues with branches and sulfate groups at different positions, and fucogalactan, also containing chains of 3-linked fucopyranose residues with branches at positions 4 together with highly branched galactan chains terminated by fucose residues. The fucoidan contained also sulfated glucuronomannan and sulfated glucuronan as minor components.     

Structural Elucidation of the Component Trisaccharide Obtained from the Acrosome Reaction-Inducing Substance of the Starfish Asterias Amurensis by Chemical Synthesis

Abstract

Okinaga et al.¹ have recently reported a novel trisaccharide obtained from the acrosome reaction-inducing substance (ARIS) of the starfish Asterias amurensis. The ARIS is essential for triggering the acrosome reaction in homologous spermatozoa, and the biological activity is due to the sugar moiety. The trisaccharide, composed of xylose (Xyl), galactose (Gal), and fucose (Fuc), and proposed to have a sequence of Xyll→3Gall→3 or 4[4 or 3-(So₃ ^?)]Fuc, was deduced to be one of the major structural units constructing the side chain of the high molecular carbohydrate portion of the ARIS. The sequence differs from similar oligosaccharides, found in hemicellulose² and composed of d-xylose, d-galactose, and l-fucose. The ARIS contains a unique saccharide chain having sulfated l-fucose as an internal residue. This unique structure prompted us to synthesize the trisaccharide as well as to reveal the anomeric configuration of Xyl and Gal moieties and the sulfated position of Fuc residue.     

Critical parameters for the analysis of anionic oligosaccharides by desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

Sulfated oligosaccharides derived from glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are fragile compounds, highly polar and anionic. We report here on the rare but successful application of desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) — LTQ‐Orbitrap mass spectrometry (MS) to the high‐resolution analysis of anionic and sulfated oligosaccharides derived from the GAGs hyaluronic acid and heparin. For that purpose, key parameters affecting DESI performance, comprising the geometric parameters of the DESI source, the probed surface and the spraying conditions, applied spray voltage, flow rates and solvent composition were investigated. Under suitable conditions, the DESI technique allows the preservation of the structural integrity of such fragile compounds. DESI enabled the sensitive detection of anionic hyaluronic acid and heparin oligosaccharides with a limit of detection (LOD) down to 5 fmol (≈10 pg) for the hyaluronic acid decasaccharide. Detection of hyaluronic acid oligosaccharides in urine sample was also successfully achieved with LOD values inferior to the ng range. Multistage tandem mass spectrometry (MSⁿ) through the combination of the DESI source with a hybrid linear ion trap‐orbitrap mass spectrometer allowed the discrimination of isomeric sulfated oligosaccharides and the sequence determination of a hyaluronic acid decasaccharide. These results open promising ways in glycomic and glycobiology fields where structure–activity relationships of bioactive carbohydrates are currently questioned.
