肠致病性大肠杆菌EPEC080菌株O-抗原的结构鉴定

Structural elucidation of the O-antigen from enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strain EPEC080

  • 摘要: O-抗原是细菌脂多糖最外层的组成部分, 其结构的复杂性与多样性对细菌的免疫逃逸、致病性及宿主相互作用具有重要影响。本研究开展了肠源性大肠杆菌EPEC080菌株脂多糖O-抗原的提取纯化。通过分子量测定、单糖组分分析、红外光谱分析以及核磁共振谱分析完成了该细菌脂多糖O-抗原化学结构的解析。该O-抗原的平均分子量为14.3 kDa, 由五糖重复单元→4)-α-D-GalpNAc-(1→3)-α-L-Rhap-(1→2)-β-D-GalpNAc-(1→3)-α-L-Rhap-(1→2)-α-L-Rhap-(1→构成, 其化学结构与已知的大肠杆菌各血清型O-抗原结构均不同, 表明EPEC080菌株是一种新的大肠杆菌血清型。本研究结果可为肠致病性大肠杆菌的致病机制探索, 以及相关疾病的预防和治疗方法研发提供基础。

     

    Abstract: O-Antigens is the outermost component of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Their structural complexity and diversity are essential for bacterial immune evasion, pathogenicity, and bacteria-host interactions. In this study, the O-antigen of lipopolysaccharide from Escherichia coli strain EPEC080 was extracted and purified. The chemical structure of the O-antigen was determined by a combination of various analytical methods, including molecular weight determination, monosaccharide composition analysis, infrared spectrum and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. The O-antigen with an average molecular weight of 14.3 kDa was determined to consist of a pentasaccharide repeating unit: →4)-α-D-GalpNAc-(1→3)-α-L-Rhap-(1→2)-β-D-GalpNAc-(1→3)-α-L-Rhap-(1→2)-α-L-Rhap-(1→. Notably, this structure is different from those of known E. coli LPS O-antigens, indicating that strain EPEC080 represents a novel E. coli serotype. The structural identification of this O-antigen provides a foundation for further investigation of the pathogenesis of enteropathogenic E. coli and development of prophylaxis and treatment methods against the related diseases.
