Detection of the unique sugars virenose and dihydrohydroxystreptose from Coxiella burnetii using alditol acetylation and liquid chromatography mass spectroscopy
The bacterium Coxiella burnetii causes Q-Fever in humans and coxiellosis in animals. This work presents a robust, sensitive and selective method for the identification of two unique sugars found in the lipopolysaccharide of C. burnetii. The sugars were derivatised using alditol acetylation and identified using high performance liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry. Virenose and dihydrohydroxystreptose were observed to be only partially acetylated during derivatisation and this was found to be valuable for the identification of these sugars in the absence of commercial standards. This sensitive methods can be applied in diagnostic fields and help to further characterise the cell-wall lipopolysaccharide of C. burnetii.
期刊介绍:
Carbohydrate Research publishes reports of original research in the following areas of carbohydrate science: action of enzymes, analytical chemistry, biochemistry (biosynthesis, degradation, structural and functional biochemistry, conformation, molecular recognition, enzyme mechanisms, carbohydrate-processing enzymes, including glycosidases and glycosyltransferases), chemical synthesis, isolation of natural products, physicochemical studies, reactions and their mechanisms, the study of structures and stereochemistry, and technological aspects.
Papers on polysaccharides should have a "molecular" component; that is a paper on new or modified polysaccharides should include structural information and characterization in addition to the usual studies of rheological properties and the like. A paper on a new, naturally occurring polysaccharide should include structural information, defining monosaccharide components and linkage sequence.
Papers devoted wholly or partly to X-ray crystallographic studies, or to computational aspects (molecular mechanics or molecular orbital calculations, simulations via molecular dynamics), will be considered if they meet certain criteria. For computational papers the requirements are that the methods used be specified in sufficient detail to permit replication of the results, and that the conclusions be shown to have relevance to experimental observations - the authors'' own data or data from the literature. Specific directions for the presentation of X-ray data are given below under Results and "discussion".
