✦ Synopsis
The structure of the Vibrio cholerae O:3 O-antigen polysaccharide has been investigated, mainly by n.m.r. spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, sugar and methylation analysis, and specific degradations, and is proposed to involve the following tetrasaccharide repeating-unit. [formula: see text]. In this structure, D-D-Hep is D-glycero-D-manno-heptose, Asc is 3,6-dideoxy-L-arabino-hexose (ascarylose), and Sug is 2,4-diamino-2,4,6-trideoxy-D-glucose (bacillosamine) in which N-2 is acetylated and N-4 is acylated with a 3,5-dihydroxyhexanoic acid. That the 2,4-diamino-2,4,6-trideoxy-D-glucose residue is linked through O-3 and not through one of the hydroxyl groups in the 3,5-dihydroxyhexanoyl group is indicated but not definitely proved. The configuration of the latter group has not been determined. The f.a.b.-mass spectrum of the methylated O-antigen indicates that the structure given above also represents the biological repeating-unit.
