In this report we describe studies on the structures of the O-linked carbohydrate units in cell-surface glycoproteins of epimastigote forms of the G-strain of Trypanosoma cruzi. Mild alkaline reductive degradation of the 38/43 kDa glycoproteins resulted in beta-elimination of glycosylated threonine and/or serine residues, and the liberation of N-acetylglucosaminitol, galactobiosyl-, galactotriosyl-, galactotetraosyl- and galactopentaosyl-N-acetylglucosaminitol. The structures of these oligosaccharide alditols were established by n.m.r. spectroscopy and methylation analysis as: Galf beta 1-4(Galp beta 1-6)GlcNAc-ol; Galp beta 1-3Galp beta 1-6(Galf beta 1-4)GlcNAc-ol; [(Galp beta 1-3)(Galp beta 1-2)Galp beta 1-6](Galf beta 1-4)GlcNAc-ol; [(Galp beta 1-3)(Galp beta 1-2)Galp beta 1-6](Galp beta 1-2Galf beta 1-4)GlcNAc-ol.
在本报告中,我们描述了对克氏锥虫G株型无鞭毛体形式的细胞表面糖蛋白中O-连接碳水化合物单元结构的研究。对38/43 kDa糖蛋白进行温和碱性还原降解,导致糖基化苏氨酸和/或丝氨酸残基发生β-消除,并释放出N-乙酰葡糖胺醇、半乳糖二糖基-、半乳糖三糖基-、半乳糖四糖基-和半乳糖五糖基-N-乙酰葡糖胺醇。通过核磁共振光谱和甲基化分析确定了这些低聚糖糖醇的结构如下:Galfβ1-4(Galpβ1-6)GlcNAc-ol;Galpβ1-3Galpβ1-6(Galfβ1-4)GlcNAc-ol;[(Galpβ1-3)(Galpβ1-2)Galpβ1-6](Galfβ1-4)GlcNAc-ol;[(Galpβ1-3)(Galpβ1-2)Galpβ1-6](Galpβ1-2Galfβ1-4)GlcNAc-ol。
