The structure of the rough-type lipopolysaccharide from Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, containing 8-amino-8-deoxy-Kdo and an open-chain form of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose.
The LPS from Shewanella oneidensis strain MR-1 was analysed by chemical methods and by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The LPS contained no polysaccharide O-chain, and its carbohydrate backbone had the following structure: (1S)-GalNAco-(1-->4,6)-alpha-Gal-(1-->6)-alpha-Gal-(1-->3)-alpha-Gal-(1-P-3)-alpha-DDHep-(1-->5)-alpha-8-aminoKdo4R-(2-->6)-beta-GlcN4P-(1-->6)-alpha-GlcN1P, where R is P or EtNPP. There are several novel aspects to this LPS. It contains a novel linking unit between the core polysaccharide and lipid A moieties, namely 8-amino-3,8-dideoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (8-aminoKdo) and a residue of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose (N-acetylgalactosamine, GalNAco) in an open-chain form, linked as cyclic acetal to O-4 and O-6 of D-galactopyranose. The structure contains a phosphodiester linkage between the alpha-D-galactopyranose and D-glycero-D-manno-heptose (DDHep) residues.
