title: Structural studies on sulfated oligosaccharides derived from the carbohydrate-protein linkage region of chondroitin 6-sulfate proteoglycans of shark cartilage. I. Six compounds containing 0 or 1 sulfate and/or phosphate residues.
abstract: Shark cartilage proteoglycans bear predominantly chondroitin 6-sulfate. After exhaustive protease digestion, reductive beta-elimination, and subsequent chondroitinase ABC digestion, 13 hexasaccharide alditols, which are nonsulfated, sulfated, and/or phosphorylated, were obtained from the carbohydrate-protein linkage region. Six compounds, containing 0 or 1 sulfate and/or phosphate residue, represent approximately 40% of the isolated linkage hexasaccharide alditols. They were analyzed by chondroitinase ACII or alkaline phosphatase digestion in conjunction with high performance liquid chromatography, and by 500 MHz one- and two-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopy. All six compounds have the conventional structure in common. Delta 4,5-GlcA beta 1-3GalNAc beta 1-4GlcA beta 1-3Gal beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Xyl-ol One compound has no sulfate nor phosphate. Two of the monosulfated compounds have a O-sulfate on C-6 or on C-4 of the GalNAc residue. The third monosulfated compound has a novel O-sulfate on C-6 of the Gal residue attached to xylitol. The two phosphorylated compounds have O-phosphate on C-2 of Xyl-ol, and one of them has in addition sulfate on C-6 of GalNAc.
