TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Role of different moieties from the lipooligosaccharide molecule in biological activities of the Moraxella catarrhalis outer membrane

Lipooligosaccharide (LOS), a major component of the outer membrane of Moraxella catarrhalis, consists of two major moieties: a lipid A and a core oligosaccharide (OS). The core OS can be dissected into a linker and three OS chains. | ễFEBS Journal Role of different moieties from the lipooligosaccharide molecule in biological activities of the Moraxella catarrhalis outer membrane Daxin Peng1 z Wei-Gang Hu1 t Biswa P.

The core OS can be dissected into a linker and three OS chains. To gain an insight into the biological activities of the LOS molecules of M. catarrhalis we used a random transposon mutagenesis approach with an LOS specific monoclonal antibody to construct a serotype A O35Elgt3 LOS mutant. MALDI-TOF-MS of de-O-acylated LOS from the mutant and glycosyl composition linkage and NMR analysis of its OS indicated that the LOS contained a truncated core OS and consisted of a Glc-Kdo2 linker -lipid A structure. Phenotypic analysis revealed that the mutant was similar to the wild-type strain in its growth rate toxicity and susceptibility to hydrophobic reagents. However the mutant was sensitive to bactericidal activity of normal human serum and had a reduced adherence to human epithelial cells. These data combined with .
