  • Title: Structure of the capsular polysaccharide of Clostridium perfringens Hobbs 10 determined by NMR spectroscopy.
    Author: Sheng S, Cherniak R.
    Journal: Carbohydr Res; 1997 Dec; 305(1):65-72. PubMed ID: 9534227.
    Abstract:
    The complete primary structure of the type-specific capsular polysaccharide of Clostridium perfringens Hobbs 10 was determined. The polysaccharide was isolated from C. perfringens Hobbs 10 by cold-water extraction of whole, heavily encapsulated cells. The polysaccharide was purified, by ethanol precipitation, deproteination, selective precipitation with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, ion-exchange chromatography and gel-filtration chromatography. The polysaccharide was comprised of D-glucose, D-galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine, and iduronic acid, in molar ratios of 2:2:1:1. Sequence and linkage assignments of the glycosyl residues were obtained by NMR spectroscopy, specifically by the combination of two-dimensional homonuclear DQF-COSY, TQF-COSY and TOCSY, heteronuclear ¿1H, 13C¿ single-quantum coherence (HSQC) and heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation (HMBC) experiments. The capsular polysaccharide of C. perfringens Hobbs 10 is a polymer composed of a hexasaccharide repeating unit with the following structure: [formula: see text] This structure is novel among bacterial cell-surface polysaccharides, and it is only the second of many serotypically distinct capsular polysaccharides of C. perfringens to be described.
