Nonsulfated, monosulfated, and disulfated glycopeptides containing the entire carbohydrate sequence of the glycosaminoglycan-specific linkage region were isolated after exhaustive enzymatic digestions of Swarm rat chondrosarcoma proteoglycans with chondroitinase ABC, papain, and Pronase. Their structures were examined by 500 MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy. The nonsulfated compound has the following structure with trace amounts of a few additional amino acids: delta 4,5-GlcA beta 1-3GalNAc beta 1-4GlcA beta 1-3Gal beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Xyl beta 1-O-Ser. The monosulfated compound has an ester sulfate on C-4 of the GalNAc residue and the disulfated compound has an additional hitherto unrecognized ester sulfate on C-4 of the second galactose residue which is remote from the innermost xylose. This new structure was confirmed by two-dimensional homonuclear Hartmann-Hahn spectroscopy. The molar ratio of the isolated nonsulfated, monosulfated, and disulfated compounds was 53:37:10 based on the serine contents. Biological significance of the newly found sulfated linkage structure is discussed.

D002809 Chondroitin Sulfates Derivatives of chondroitin which have a sulfate moiety esterified to the galactosamine moiety of chondroitin. Chondroitin sulfate A, or chondroitin 4-sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate C, or chondroitin 6-sulfate, have the sulfate esterified in the 4- and 6-positions, respectively. Chondroitin sulfate B (beta heparin; DERMATAN SULFATE) is a misnomer and this compound is not a true chondroitin sulfate.
