The structure of carbohydrate units of bronchial-mucus glycoproteins obtained from cystic fibrosis patients was investigated by 500-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy and methylation analysis. To that purpose, the mucin was subjected to alkaline borohydride degradation. Neutral oligosaccharide-alditols, ranging in size from disaccharides to pentasaccharides, were isolated. Eight compounds could be purified to homogeneity; furthermore, three fractions were obtained consisting mainly of two components. For all 14 compounds the primary structure could be elucidated. 500-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy was found to be effective in detecting heterogeneity and to be invaluable for the determination of structures in mixtures of oligosaccharide-alditols. The structures can be divided into two groups depending on the core disaccharide. One group contains Gal(beta 1 leads to 3)GalNAc-ol as common structural element, the other GlcNAc(beta 1 leads to 3)GalNAc-ol. Both disaccharides were identified as such; the other compounds can be conceived as extensions thereof. The most complex representatives of the two groups are: (formula; see text) The italicized structural elements, comprising the SSEA-1 determinant and the type-1 blood-group-H determinant, are novel sequences in oligosaccharide chains of mucin-type glycoproteins.

D003550 Cystic Fibrosis An autosomal recessive genetic disease of the EXOCRINE GLANDS. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR expressed in several organs including the LUNG, the PANCREAS, the BILIARY SYSTEM, and the SWEAT GLANDS. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by epithelial secretory dysfunction associated with ductal obstruction resulting in AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION; chronic RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS; PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY; maldigestion; salt depletion; and HEAT PROSTRATION.
