title: Characterization of a novel type of chain-terminator Gal beta 1-6Gal beta 1-4)GlcNAc in an oligosaccharide related to N-glycosylated protein glycans isolated from GM1 the urine of patients with gangliosidosis.
abstract: Two new oligosaccharides were isolated from the urine of a patient with GM1 gangliosidosis. Final purification of the oligosaccharides was accomplished by capillary supercritical fluid chromatography. Structural analysis was by chemical analysis, chemical-ionization mass spectrometry and 400-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy, leading to two primary structures. The first is derived from a classical triantennary N-acetyllactosamine-type glycan: Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-4(Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-2)Man alpha 1-3Man beta 1-4GlcNAc. The second is unusual with a terminal disaccharide Gal beta 1-6Gal, which had not yet been described for glycans of the N-acetyllactosamine type: Gal beta 1-6Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-2Man alpha 1-6Man beta 1-4GlcNAc.
