Field of th~ invention.
The present invention concerns a new branched polysaccharide, a microorganism producing it, the food composition, the pharmaceutical composition and the cosmetical composition containing them.
Background of the ;nven~ion.
The biological communication (the possibility for a cell to recognize a molecule or another cell) is a central phenomenon in pathological as well as in normal state.
Among the various mechanisms of molecular recognition between cells, and/or between cells and molecules, the binding of specific glycosidic structures by specialized proteins (lectins) is today considered as a major molecular recognition system.
The lectins may be bound specifically and non-covalently to well-defined glycosidic sequences.
Some lectins are bound to oligosaccharides which contain elevated mannose amounts, to structures carrying sialic acids, to fucosylated glycosides, ... .
Other lectins can bind ~-galactosides and lactose.
tlS5134 .
Multigeneric coaggregations exist between oral bacterial cells (Actinomyces naeslundii or viscosus, Streptococcus mitis or sanguis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Bacteriodes intermedius, ...) which aggregate and form a network as the dental plaque.
Between these bacterial cells, ~he interaction is often obtained by a non-covalent bound between a ~-galactoside lectin on one cell and a glycosidic receptor on another cell (ref. 1).
Most of the infectious diseases are initiated by the adhesion of pathogeneous agents (Actinomyces naeslundii, Fusobacterium nuclea~um, Bacteriodes intermedius, Salmonella typhimurium, Vibrio Cholera, Campylobacter jejuni, Bacteriodes, Fusobacteria, Clostridia, Shigella, Yersinia, and Helicobacter pylori, ...) to the epithelial cells of the mucosa of its host, which allows then the colonisation of the animal tissues.
This adhesion is often obtained by a binding between a ~-galactoside lectin located at the surface of this pathogeneous agent and a glycosidic receptor located at the surface of the epithelial cell (ref. 2).
Various cells of the immune system (lymphocites T
and B, macrophages, neutrophils) are known either to be able to bind ~-galactoside lectins or to express at their surface such lectins of the galectin family.
In addition, some epithelial cells such as intestinal cells or keratinocytes produce these galectins which can also coat Langerhans cells, and immunoglobulins such as IgE can specifically bind to galectins (ref. 3, 4 and 5).
Stat~ o the art.
They have been many prior studies upon polysaccharides produced by micro-organisms and, in recent years, they have been several reports of studies on the structure of exocellular polysaccharides obtained by lactic acid bacteria and on their biological activities.
A polysaccharide consisting o~ galactose, glucose and N-acetylgalactosamine (2:1:1) is obtaihed by the strains of Streptococcus thermophilus CNCM I-733, CNCM I-734 and CNCM
I-735 (ref. 6 and 7);
a polysaccharide consisting of galactose only is 0 obtained by the strain Lactococcus cremoris H414 (ref. 8);
a polysaccharide consisting of galactose, glucose,rhamnose and phosphate (2:2:1:1) is obtained by the strain Lactococcus cremoris SBT 0495 (ref. 9);
a polysaccharide consisting of galactose, glucose 5 and rhamnose (5:1:1) is obtained by the strain Lactobacillus bulgaricus rr (ref. 10);
a polysaccharide consisting of glucose, rhamnose, 1-phosphoglycerol and a O-acetyl group (3:2:1:0.85) is obtained by the strain Lactobacillus sake 0-1 (ref. 11).
On the other hand, other polysaccharides obtained by a few strains of Lactobacillus helveticus were studied, but never their structural characterizations were performed.
For example, a polysaccharide of unknown structure consisting of glucose and galactose (2:1) used as anti-tumor agent is obtained by the strain Lactobacillus helveticus var. jugurti No 851 "FERM BP-66 (FERM-P No 5851)" (ref. 12 and 13).
Similarly, a polysaccharide of unknown structure consisting of galactose, glucose and N-acetylglucosamine (2.5-3.5:2.5-3.5:1) used in treating inflammation and to accelerate bone marrow growth is obtained by the strain Lactobacillus helveticus MIKI-010 (ref. 14).
Aims of the invention.
The present invention aims to provide a new branched polysacharide and/or the microorganism producing it, which can be used to inhibit the binding between ~-galactoside lectins and their receptor(s).
Another aim of the invention i~ to provide food compositions comprising said polysaccharide and/or microorganism, having improved organoleptic and texture properties.
A further aim of the invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition and/or cosmetical composition, comprising said polysaccharide and/or microorganism.
A last aim of the invention is to provide a polysaccharide which can be used as an intermediate product for the production of polymerized derivatives of gangliotriose, Sd-a blood group, or sialyl- and sulfated-Lewis X.

1. PR~PARATION AND PURIFICATION OF THF~ h~XOPOl,YSACCHARIDE
pRcDuc~n BY T,~CTO~ACIL~US HELV~TICUS CNCM I-1449.
1.1 Fermentation Co~dit ons.
Lactobacillus helveticus CNCM I-1449 was a ropy strain from the Nestlé strain collection. Among the 168 strains of L. helveticus of the Nestlé collection, only 2 strains produce exopolysaccharides.
The growth medium was 10~ reconstituted skim milk heat-treated (115C, 35 min) for sterilization prior to fermentation. A one-liter scale fermentor with a magnetic stirrer was used -for regulating the pH during the fermentation. The pH was maintained at 5.5 by using 2N sodium hydroxide. Stirring rate was maintained at 60 RPM. Incubation was made at 40C. The amount of starter culture inoculated to the medium was 1~. During the fermentation (time = 6h, 9h and 24h), several samples were taken and frozen for further analysis and polysaccharide extractior.
1.2. Ex~rac~ion of the Polysaccharide An equal volume of trichloroacetatic acid (40~ was added to the sample to remove proteins by precipitation, followed by centrifugation (17,000g, 20 minutes). To the supernatant fraction containing polysaccharides, the same volume o~ acetone was added. Precipitated polysaccharides were then separated by centrifugation (17,000g, 20 minutes).
The resulting precipitated fraction was dissolved in distilled water and pH was adjusted to 7.0 with sodium hydroxide solution. After dialysis against distilled water (overnight), insoluble substances were removed by ultracentrifugation (llO,OOOg, l hour).
The supernatant fraction containing polysaccharides was lyophilized and crude dehydrated polysaccharides were finally obtained. Total neutral sugar content was determined by the phenol-sulphuric acid method.
1.3. Size of the ~xopolysaccharide.
The filtration was conducted to confirm purity and estimate the molecular weight o~ polysaccharides using FPLC
system (Pharmacia). The column used was Superose 6 (l.0 cm x 30cm) (Fig. 1). 200 ~l samples containing 200-400 ~g dehydrated polysaccharides were applied on to the column, eluted with 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.2 at the rate o~
0.5 ml/min. Fractions (l.0 ml) were collected in tubes.
Polysaccharide content in each tube was determined as total neutral sugar by the phenol-sulphuric acid method.
1.4. Monosaccharide Composition.
Monosaccharide composition o~ a freeze-dried polysaccharide was analyzed using gas-liquid chromatography technique (ref. 21).
The exopolysaccharide obtained ~rom the spent culture medium was examined after extraction ~rom three samples (time = 6h, 9h and 24h). The yield was found to increase as a function of the fermentation time, but the size as well as the monosaccharide composition of the polymer were found invariable:
Fermentation Crude Neutral Pure Monosaccharide Time Yield Sugars Yield Composition (hours) (mg/L) (~) (mg/L) Rha Gal Glc GalNAc 6 42 27.6 11.6 - 1.1 1 -9 142 70.4 100.0 - 1.1 24 272 83.3 226.6 - 1.1 The figure 1 shows the elution and the purity of the polysaccharide obtained at t = 24 h, by FPLC analysis (with a column of Superose 6). The polysaccharide was eluted at around the exclusion limit (approximately 2 X 106 M.W.).
1.5. Yields ~f Polysaccharide Ob~ained in Non-Regulated Fermenta~'ons.
The polysaccharide described above was also produced during fermentations in set-style conditions, by Lactobacillus helveticus CNCM I-1449 alone, or by this strain used together with a strain of Streptococcus thermophilus (for example S. thermophilus YS4).
For this purpose, the growth medium was 10 reconstituted MSK (skim milk powder: 100 g/l and yeast extract: 1 g/l) heat-treated (115C, 35 min) for sterilization prior to fermentation. The typical sample size was 250 ml, the incubation was made at 40C and the amount of starter culture inoculated to the medium was 1 ~. The yields of pure polysaccharide obtained in such conditions were the following:

1. PR~PARATION AND PURIFICATION OF THF~ h~XOPOl,YSACCHARIDE
pRcDuc~n BY T,~CTO~ACIL~US HELV~TICUS CNCM I-1449.
1.1 Fermentation Co~dit ons.
Lactobacillus helveticus CNCM I-1449 was a ropy strain from the Nestlé strain collection. Among the 168 strains of L. helveticus of the Nestlé collection, only 2 strains produce exopolysaccharides.
The growth medium was 10~ reconstituted skim milk heat-treated (115C, 35 min) for sterilization prior to fermentation. A one-liter scale fermentor with a magnetic stirrer was used -for regulating the pH during the fermentation. The pH was maintained at 5.5 by using 2N sodium hydroxide. Stirring rate was maintained at 60 RPM. Incubation was made at 40C. The amount of starter culture inoculated to the medium was 1~. During the fermentation (time = 6h, 9h and 24h), several samples were taken and frozen for further analysis and polysaccharide extractior.
1.2. Ex~rac~ion of the Polysaccharide An equal volume of trichloroacetatic acid (40~ was added to the sample to remove proteins by precipitation, followed by centrifugation (17,000g, 20 minutes). To the supernatant fraction containing polysaccharides, the same volume o~ acetone was added. Precipitated polysaccharides were then separated by centrifugation (17,000g, 20 minutes).
The resulting precipitated fraction was dissolved in distilled water and pH was adjusted to 7.0 with sodium hydroxide solution. After dialysis against distilled water (overnight), insoluble substances were removed by ultracentrifugation (llO,OOOg, l hour).
The supernatant fraction containing polysaccharides was lyophilized and crude dehydrated polysaccharides were finally obtained. Total neutral sugar content was determined by the phenol-sulphuric acid method.
1.3. Size of the ~xopolysaccharide.
The filtration was conducted to confirm purity and estimate the molecular weight o~ polysaccharides using FPLC
system (Pharmacia). The column used was Superose 6 (l.0 cm x 30cm) (Fig. 1). 200 ~l samples containing 200-400 ~g dehydrated polysaccharides were applied on to the column, eluted with 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.2 at the rate o~
0.5 ml/min. Fractions (l.0 ml) were collected in tubes.
Polysaccharide content in each tube was determined as total neutral sugar by the phenol-sulphuric acid method.
1.4. Monosaccharide Composition.
Monosaccharide composition o~ a freeze-dried polysaccharide was analyzed using gas-liquid chromatography technique (ref. 21).
The exopolysaccharide obtained ~rom the spent culture medium was examined after extraction ~rom three samples (time = 6h, 9h and 24h). The yield was found to increase as a function of the fermentation time, but the size as well as the monosaccharide composition of the polymer were found invariable:

The polysaccharide was eluted at around the exclusion limit (approximately 2 X 106 M.W.).
1.5. Yields ~f Polysaccharide Ob~ained in Non-Regulated Fermenta~'ons.
The polysaccharide described above was also produced during fermentations in set-style conditions, by Lactobacillus helveticus CNCM I-1449 alone, or by this strain used together with a strain of Streptococcus thermophilus (for example S. thermophilus YS4).
For this purpose, the growth medium was 10 reconstituted MSK (skim milk powder: 100 g/l and yeast extract: 1 g/l) heat-treated (115C, 35 min) for sterilization prior to fermentation. The typical sample size was 250 ml, the incubation was made at 40C and the amount of starter culture inoculated to the medium was 1 ~. The yields of pure polysaccharide obtained in such conditions were the following:

2. METHODS USED FOR TH~ STRUCTURAL CHARACTE~IZATION OF THE
F:~OPOI.YSACC~IARIDE PRODUCF~n BY LACTOBACILLI~S ~T,VETICUS CNCM
I-1449 .
2.1. Monosaccharide Analysis.
Polysaccharide (Q.1 mg) was methanolysed (methanolic 0.5 M HCl, 24h, 80C), N-reace~ylated (one night at room temperature). The trimethylsilylated methyl glycosides were analysed by gas phase chromatography (Varian 3400) using a BP1 fused-silica capillary column (25 m X 0.32 mm, SGE). The elution was performed by applying on the column a temperature gradient from 120C to 240C at 2C minl. The absolute configuration of the monosaccharides was determined by GLC of the trimethylsilylated (N-reacetylated) (-)-2-butyl glyclosides.
2.2 Methylation Analysis.
Samples (native polysaccharide and oligosaccharide-alditols) were permethylated, and methylated products were subjected either to methanolysis or acid hydrolysis (trifluoroacetic acid 4N, 4 h, 100C) followed by reduction with BD4Na.
The partially methylated and acetylated (pyridine.
anhydride acetic 1:1) methyl glycosides and alditols were identified by GLC (BP1 column) and GLC MS in e.i.mode on a Nermag R10-lOS mass spectrometer using an electron energy of 70 ev and an ionizing current of 0.2 mA.
2.3. Partial Acid Hydrolysis.
Polysaccharide (40mg) was hydrolysed in 4 ml of 0.5 M trifluoroacetic acid during lh30 at 100C. Complete hydrolysis and obtention of low mass oligosaccharides were monitored by thin ~ayer chromatography on Silica Gel 60 F254 aluminium sheets (Merck) using a butanol/water/acetic acid 2:1:1.5 solvant and detection with orcinol-sulfuric acid.
2.4. H.p.a.e-~.a.d. Chromatography.
Fractionation of HW40 peaks was performed on HPAE
- PAD Dionex LC system consisting of a Dionex Bio-LC
~uaternary gradient module, a model p.a.d. 2 detector and a Carbopac PA-1 pellicular anion exchange column (250 X 9 mm).
Two elution programs were used :
- progr~m 1 : 99 :1 eluent A (0.1 M NaOH) - eluent B (0.1 M
NaOH containing M CH3COONa) for 0.2 min then going to 65:35 eluent A (0.1 M NaOH containing M
CH3COONa) in 60 min at 3 ml min~1; 5 - proqr~m 2 : 98:2 eluent ~ - eluent B then going to 70:30 eluent A - eluent B in 60 min.
The eluted ~ractions were immediately neutralized with M acetic and liophilized. The fractions were successively desalted on a column (6 X 1 cm) of Dowex 50 X
8 (H') resin and on a column of Fractogel (55 X 2 cm) using deionised water as eluent.
~.5. 1H-Nuclear Maanetic Res~nn~nce SpectroscQpy.
For lH-NMR measurements, the deuterium-exchanged oligosaccharides were dissolved in 0.5 ml of 2H2O (99.96 ~
atom 2H, Aldrich). The 400 MHz 1H-NMR experiments were performed with a Bruker AM-400WB spectrometer, e~uipped with a 5 mm 1H-/l3C mixed probe head, operating in the pulsed Fourier transform mode and controlled by an Aspect 3000 computer (Centre Commun de Mesures, Université de Lille Flandres Artois).
215513~
All the spectra were obtained at a probe temperature of 353K. One dimensional spectra were obtained with a spectral width of 3000 Hz for a 16 K frequency-domain points and time-domain data points giving a final digital resolution of 0.365 Hz/point.
The 100 MHz l3C-NMR experiments ~ere obtained with the standard Brucker pulse program Powgate with lH composite pulse decoupling. The spectral width was 22.727 Hz for a 32 K frequency-domain data points and time-domain data giving a final digital resolution of 1.387 Hz/point; a ninety-degree pulse (6 ~s) and 1 s recycle delay were used. The chemical given relative to the signal of the methyl group of acetone (~ 2.225 for lH and ~ 31.55 for 13C) .
The 2D-homonuclear COSY 45, COSY with simple, double and triple relay transerts were performed by use of the standard Bruker pulse program library or the programs given by B. Perly (C.E.A., Saclay). For all RCT experiments, re~ocusing delays of 35 ms were chosen and the relaxation delay was 2 s. In all these experiments, the spectral width was 1840 Hz, the lH ninety-degree pulse was 10.6 ~s; 256 W X
2K data matrices were acquired, which were zero-filled prior to Fourier transform, to obtain a 1 K X 2 K spectral data matrix and a sine-bell squared function was used in both dimensions.
The 2D-l3C/lH COSY experiments were performed with simultaneous suppression of lH homonuclear couplings by use of the standard Bruker pulse program XHCORRD. Refocusing delays were adjusted to an average ljc~ coupling constant of 150 KHz. lH and 13C ninety-degree pulse width were 10.6 and 6 ~s. The relaxation delay was 0.8 s. 128 W X 4 K data matrix was acquired, which was zero-filled prior to Fourier transform, to obtain a 512 W X 4 K spectral data matrix. An exponential function (LB = 1 Hz) for l3C-subspectra and a sine-bell function for lH-spectra were applied to enhance the signal to noise ratio.

3. STRUCTURE OF T~F~ EXOPOIIYSACCHARII~E PRoDucF~n BY
T,~CTO~ACITT~US ~TV~TICUS CNCM I-1~49.
3.1. Isolation and Composition Analysis of the Polysacchari~e.
GLC. analysis of the trimethylsilylated glycosides and (-)-2-butyl glyosides has confirmed the presence of D-galactose and D-glucose in a molar ratio 1:1.
Nl~ s~7ectros~0~v.
The 400 MHz 1H n.m.r. spectrum of the native polysaccharide recorded in D2O at 80C shows 4 signals at 5.201, 5.158, 4.568 and 4.350 ppm characteristic of anomeric protons in a ratio 1:2:2:1 suggesting a hexasaccharide repeating unit (table 1).
This is confirmed by the 100 MHz 13C spectrum (table 1) that exhibits six anomeric carbon signals (108.95, 103.74, 103.8, 102.52, 100.26 and 99.87 ppm).
According to the 1H spin system, on individual sugar units depicted on the two setaps relayed COSY sprectrum, the monosaccharides may be respectively identi~ied as ~-Galf (residue A), g-D-Glcp (residues B and E), ~-D-Glcp (residue C), ~-D-Galp (residue D) and g-D-Galp (residue F).
Examination o~ the relayed COSY spectra o~
oligosaccharide alditols IV B and II A obtained by partial acid hydrolysis (see below) leads to the obvious identi~ication of the g-D-Galp. As demonstrated by the COSY
spectrum of the polysaccharide, the H-2 and H-3 o~ the g-D-Galp F residue exhibit a strong coupling constant which does 215513~
not allow to analyse their multiple patterns.
Correlation peaks observed in the lH - 13C
heteronuclear COSY spectrum shows that one of the proton resonances (5.158 ppm) is connected to the carbon resonance deshielded at 108.95 ppm that proves a $-anomeric configuration ~or the Galf A residue.
Most of the proton resonances may be assigned in the homonuclear COSY spectrum except for the H-5 and H-6 spin systems of the $-D-Galp F residue. The carbon resonances may also be assigned by direct correlation to their attach protons.
The two remainding unassigned carbons at 73.52 and 61.12 ppm were deduced to correspond with the C-5 and C-6 atom resonances of $-D-Galp F residue.
In summary, all these assignments clearly furnish the substitution pattern of each sugar unit, according to their downfield shifted carbon resonances :
C-3 and C-5 for ~-D-Gal~ A, C-3 for ~-D-Glcp C, C-3 ~or ~-D-Galp D, C-3 for $-D-Glcp B and C-4 for $~D-Glcp E.
The sixth sugar unit $-D-Galp F, which does not possess any downfield shifted l3C resonance occurs consequently in non-reducing position.
3.2. Methylation Analysis.
The NMR results are supported and confirmed by GLC
MS analysis of the partially methylated alditol acetates and methyl glycosides (Table 2) obtained from the permethylated polysaccharides. Indeed, it demonstrates the presence of terminal galactosyl residue. 3-linked glucosyl residue, 4-.
linked glucosyl residue, 3-linked galactosyl residue and 3,5 linked galactosyl residue in a ratio 1:2:1:1:1 respectively.
3.3. Paxtial Acid Hydrolys-s.
In order to elucidate the position of the branched terminal galactosyl residue, oligosaccharldes were produced by partial acid hydrolysis of the native polysaccharide. Six major fractions were separated by gel filtration on Fractogel HW40 F from the hydrolysate (Fig.2).
Two of them (fractions II and IV) were subjected to HPAE - PAD chromatography (Fig. 3, 4 and table 3) and the structure of subfractions denoted II A, IV A and IV B was investigated both by NMR and methylation analysis.
Oligosaccharide-alditol IV A contains two Glc residues and one hexitol residue, as shown by the lH spin system depicted in the two-steps relayed COSY spectrum. The two Glc residues occur at the non-reducing terminal position, as confirmed by the methylation analysis which furnished 2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-methyl glucitol. The last derivative shows a pattern corresponding to a C-3 and C-5 substitution characteristic of a furanic sugar. From the previous n.m.r.
data, this hexitol originates from the ~-D-Galf A unit. These findings lead to the ~ollowing structure :
E A
$-D-Glcp-(1-3)-D-Gal5-ol B
i~-D-Glcp-l It must be noted that due to the symetry displayed by the lH spin system of galactitol, the lH NMR assignment of the compound was achieved after the elucidation of compound IV B structure.
Oligosaccharide-alditol IV B contains $-D-Galp and $-D-Glcp in the ration 1:1, as clearly shown by the pattern of the vicinal coupling constants. The methylation analysis (Table 4) indicated the presence of 2, 3, 4!~ 6-tetra-O-methyl galactose, 2, 3, 6-tri-O-methyl glucose and 1, 2, 4, 5, 6-penta-O-methyl galacticol. Therefore, oligosaccharide-alditol 2 possesses the following structure :
F E A
$-D-Galp-(1-4)-~-D-Glcp-(1-3)-Gal-ol The attachment of ~-D-Glcp at C-3 of Gal-ol is not susceptible to modify dramatically the chemical shift of the H-l and H-2 resonances of the hexitol, when compared with the NMR data from compound IV A. Therefore, the two signals at 3.77 and 4.056 ppm can be assigned to H-l and H-2 of Gal-ol, whereas the H-5 and H-6 atoms resonances are upfield shifted at 4.149 and 3.68 ppm, by comparison with commpound IV A
(Table 3).
In the NMR spectra of IV A and IV B, the H-5 resonance of Gal-ol is the most upfield shifted atom resonance of the molecule and this observation is in agreement with the assignments proposed by others.
Oligosaccharide-alditol II A (Table 2) contains 2 ~-D-Glcp, 1 $-D-Galp and 1 ~-D-Glcp residues, whereas the presence of C-3 and C-5 substituted Gal-ol can be easily deduced by the similarity in chemical shifts of H-l to H-6 of Gal-ol in compound 1. Since the two $-D-Glcp units and the non-reducing terminal $-D-Galp have already been located in oligosaccharide-alditols IV A and IV B, and according to the 215513~
.
fact that the ~-D-Glcp B residue is C-3 substituted, the oligosaccharide-alditol II A possesses the following structure :
C B A
~-D-Glcp-(1-3)-~-D-Glcp-(1-5)-Gal-ol F E :~3 ~-D-Galp-(1-4)-$-D-Glcp-l The sixth sugar unit, ~-D-Galp, was not observed among the products of the partial hydrolysis. Nevertheless, the fact that the ~-D-Glcp unit C is C-3 substituted and that the only ~-D-Galp present in the polysaccharide occupies the non-reducing position (from the NMR data) lead to conclude that the ~-D-Galp is attached to this ~-D-Glcp residue.
Therefore, the structural unit of the polysaccharide was defined as follows:
D C B A
-3)-~-D-Galp-(1-3)-~-D-Glcp-(1-3)-~-D-Glcp-(1-5)-~-D-Galf-(l-F E

3.1. Isolation and Composition Analysis of the Polysacchari~e.
GLC. analysis of the trimethylsilylated glycosides and (-)-2-butyl glyosides has confirmed the presence of D-galactose and D-glucose in a molar ratio 1:1.
Nl~ s~7ectros~0~v.
The 400 MHz 1H n.m.r. spectrum of the native polysaccharide recorded in D2O at 80C shows 4 signals at 5.201, 5.158, 4.568 and 4.350 ppm characteristic of anomeric protons in a ratio 1:2:2:1 suggesting a hexasaccharide repeating unit (table 1).
This is confirmed by the 100 MHz 13C spectrum (table 1) that exhibits six anomeric carbon signals (108.95, 103.74, 103.8, 102.52, 100.26 and 99.87 ppm).
According to the 1H spin system, on individual sugar units depicted on the two setaps relayed COSY sprectrum, the monosaccharides may be respectively identi~ied as ~-Galf (residue A), g-D-Glcp (residues B and E), ~-D-Glcp (residue C), ~-D-Galp (residue D) and g-D-Galp (residue F).
Examination o~ the relayed COSY spectra o~
oligosaccharide alditols IV B and II A obtained by partial acid hydrolysis (see below) leads to the obvious identi~ication of the g-D-Galp. As demonstrated by the COSY
spectrum of the polysaccharide, the H-2 and H-3 o~ the g-D-Galp F residue exhibit a strong coupling constant which does 215513~
not allow to analyse their multiple patterns.
Correlation peaks observed in the lH - 13C
heteronuclear COSY spectrum shows that one of the proton resonances (5.158 ppm) is connected to the carbon resonance deshielded at 108.95 ppm that proves a $-anomeric configuration ~or the Galf A residue.
Most of the proton resonances may be assigned in the homonuclear COSY spectrum except for the H-5 and H-6 spin systems of the $-D-Galp F residue. The carbon resonances may also be assigned by direct correlation to their attach protons.
The two remainding unassigned carbons at 73.52 and 61.12 ppm were deduced to correspond with the C-5 and C-6 atom resonances of $-D-Galp F residue.
In summary, all these assignments clearly furnish the substitution pattern of each sugar unit, according to their downfield shifted carbon resonances :
C-3 and C-5 for ~-D-Gal~ A, C-3 for ~-D-Glcp C, C-3 ~or ~-D-Galp D, C-3 for $-D-Glcp B and C-4 for $~D-Glcp E.
The sixth sugar unit $-D-Galp F, which does not possess any downfield shifted l3C resonance occurs consequently in non-reducing position.
3.2. Methylation Analysis.
The NMR results are supported and confirmed by GLC
MS analysis of the partially methylated alditol acetates and methyl glycosides (Table 2) obtained from the permethylated polysaccharides. Indeed, it demonstrates the presence of terminal galactosyl residue. 3-linked glucosyl residue, 4-.
linked glucosyl residue, 3-linked galactosyl residue and 3,5 linked galactosyl residue in a ratio 1:2:1:1:1 respectively.
3.3. Paxtial Acid Hydrolys-s.
In order to elucidate the position of the branched terminal galactosyl residue, oligosaccharldes were produced by partial acid hydrolysis of the native polysaccharide. Six major fractions were separated by gel filtration on Fractogel HW40 F from the hydrolysate (Fig.2).
Two of them (fractions II and IV) were subjected to HPAE - PAD chromatography (Fig. 3, 4 and table 3) and the structure of subfractions denoted II A, IV A and IV B was investigated both by NMR and methylation analysis.
Oligosaccharide-alditol IV A contains two Glc residues and one hexitol residue, as shown by the lH spin system depicted in the two-steps relayed COSY spectrum. The two Glc residues occur at the non-reducing terminal position, as confirmed by the methylation analysis which furnished 2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-methyl glucitol. The last derivative shows a pattern corresponding to a C-3 and C-5 substitution characteristic of a furanic sugar. From the previous n.m.r.
data, this hexitol originates from the ~-D-Galf A unit. These findings lead to the ~ollowing structure :
E A
$-D-Glcp-(1-3)-D-Gal5-ol B
i~-D-Glcp-l It must be noted that due to the symetry displayed by the lH spin system of galactitol, the lH NMR assignment of the compound was achieved after the elucidation of compound IV B structure.
Oligosaccharide-alditol IV B contains $-D-Galp and $-D-Glcp in the ration 1:1, as clearly shown by the pattern of the vicinal coupling constants. The methylation analysis (Table 4) indicated the presence of 2, 3, 4!~ 6-tetra-O-methyl galactose, 2, 3, 6-tri-O-methyl glucose and 1, 2, 4, 5, 6-penta-O-methyl galacticol. Therefore, oligosaccharide-alditol 2 possesses the following structure :
F E A
$-D-Galp-(1-4)-~-D-Glcp-(1-3)-Gal-ol The attachment of ~-D-Glcp at C-3 of Gal-ol is not susceptible to modify dramatically the chemical shift of the H-l and H-2 resonances of the hexitol, when compared with the NMR data from compound IV A. Therefore, the two signals at 3.77 and 4.056 ppm can be assigned to H-l and H-2 of Gal-ol, whereas the H-5 and H-6 atoms resonances are upfield shifted at 4.149 and 3.68 ppm, by comparison with commpound IV A
(Table 3).
In the NMR spectra of IV A and IV B, the H-5 resonance of Gal-ol is the most upfield shifted atom resonance of the molecule and this observation is in agreement with the assignments proposed by others.
Oligosaccharide-alditol II A (Table 2) contains 2 ~-D-Glcp, 1 $-D-Galp and 1 ~-D-Glcp residues, whereas the presence of C-3 and C-5 substituted Gal-ol can be easily deduced by the similarity in chemical shifts of H-l to H-6 of Gal-ol in compound 1. Since the two $-D-Glcp units and the non-reducing terminal $-D-Galp have already been located in oligosaccharide-alditols IV A and IV B, and according to the 215513~
.
fact that the ~-D-Glcp B residue is C-3 substituted, the oligosaccharide-alditol II A possesses the following structure :
C B A
~-D-Glcp-(1-3)-~-D-Glcp-(1-5)-Gal-ol F E :~3 ~-D-Galp-(1-4)-$-D-Glcp-l The sixth sugar unit, ~-D-Galp, was not observed among the products of the partial hydrolysis. Nevertheless, the fact that the ~-D-Glcp unit C is C-3 substituted and that the only ~-D-Galp present in the polysaccharide occupies the non-reducing position (from the NMR data) lead to conclude that the ~-D-Galp is attached to this ~-D-Glcp residue.
Therefore, the structural unit of the polysaccharide was defined as follows:
D C B A
-3)-~-D-Galp-(1-3)-~-D-Glcp-(1-3)-~-D-Glcp-(1-5)-~-D-Galf-(l-F E
~-D-Galp-(1-4)-~-D-Glcp 1 215~13~
