O-Specific polysaccharide was obtained by mild acid degradation of Proteus mirabilis O3 lipopolysaccharide. The polysaccharide was dephosphorylated with 48% HF to give a linear polysaccharide and an amino acid, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-D-alanine. The structure of the polysaccharide was determined by methylation, Smith degradation and computer-assisted analysis of the 13C-NMR spectra of original and dephosphorylated polymers and oligomers. The structure of the amino acid was investigated by using 1H and 13C-NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (applied to the acetylated methyl ester derivative). Its absolute configuration was established by comparison of the optical rotation value and CD spectrum of the natural and synthetic product. On the basis of the data obtained, it was concluded that the repeating unit of P. mirabilis O3 O-specific polysaccharide has the following structure: (formula; see text) Removal of the amino acid phosphate substituent significantly decreased serological activity of the O-specific polysaccharide, thus showing the immunodominant role of this group. Serological cross-reactions between P. mirabilis O3 and O27 were demonstrated and tentatively substantiated.

D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans
