Abstract
Permethylated mono- and di-sialo-oligosaccharides liberated from several parent gangliosides have been examined by chemical-ionization mass spectrometry with ammonia as the reagent gas in order to elucidate their structures. Several major fragment-ions, in addition to both the protonated and ammonium adduct molecular-ions, may be readily assigned without interference from the ceramide moiety. Sialic acid-containing di-, tri-, and tetra-saccharide ions can be clearly observed and used to determine the sugar residue to which the sialic acid residue is attached. The neutral-sugar skeletons produced by the loss of sialic acid give rise to both the protonated and the ammonium adduct ions; in the case of tetrasaccharides, these are further degraded to produce di- and tri-saccharide ions. These characteristic ions are useful for the determination of the number of sugar residues and their sequence in an oligosaccharide structure. The chemical-ionization mass spectra of GM3- and GM1-oligosaccharides with isobutane show the ions corresponding to each monosaccharide residue. These results indicate that chemical-ionization mass spectrometry is highly useful in determining the complete sugar-sequence of gangliosides.

Abstract
The interaction of the myelin basic protein (MBP) and the major endogenous ganglioside GM1 in myelin of the central nervous system has been investigated using both 500-MHz 1H and 67.89 MHz 13C NMR. Titration of MBP by GM1 resulted in 13C NMR signal shifts for the I1e and His residues of MBP at a GM1/MBP mole ratio of one or less. The carbohydrate head group of GM1 was also found to be perturbed. 1H NMR results obtained in a similar manner demonstrated the perturbation of His and Phe residues. At a GM1/MBP mole ratio of 0.5, small perturbation of Trp #116 was observed, and at mole ratios of two and beyond significant involvement of Phe residues and methylated Arg #107 was found. Met #167 was more perturbed than Met #20; hence, more extensive interaction of the lipid is occurring with the C-terminus of the protein than with the N-terminus. No resonances from GM1 bound to MBP at mole ratios of up to one appeared in the spectra. However, as the GM1/MBP mole ratio was increased to eight or greater a major conformational change of MBP was detected. An upfield shift of the GM1 midchain methylene resonance was observed for the GM1/MBP complex. This observation provides strong evidence that the state of GM1 interacting with MBP is different from that of GM1 micelles. The number of saturable GM1 binding sites on MBP is estimated to be four. The data also favor a rapid exchange between bound GM1 and GM1 micelles. Interaction of MBP with the oligosaccharide derived from GM1 was found to be weaker than with GM1. Based on our data, a model for the interaction can be proposed: the first GM1 molecule is bound to the protein molecule through its head group and hydrocarbon chains, followed by the formation of a GM1/MBP complex with a concomitant conformational change of MBP as more GM1 is added.

Abstract
On the basis of our previous and present studies with embryonic chicken brain system, we have proposed stepwise biosynthesis of GD1a (Gg-series) and LD1 (Lc-series) gangliosides, starting from ceramide (Fig. 4). At least three different galactosyltransferases GalT-2 (UDP-Gal:Glc-Cer), GalT-3(UDP-Gal:GM2) and GalT-4(UDP-Gal:LcOse3-Cer) and three different sialyltransferases SAT-1(CMP-NeuAc:Lac-Cer), SAT-2(CMP-NeuAc:GM3) and SAT-3(CMP-NeuAc:nLcOse4 Cer) are involved in the biosynthesis in vitro of these gangliosides. All six of these glycosyltransferases have been solubilized using nonionic detergents. Two forms of glycolipid:galactosyltransferases (GalT-3 and GalT-4) have been separated by DEAE sepharose CL-6B chromatography from solubilized supernatant of 11- to 13-day-old embryonic chicken brain. Using microisoelectric focusing (pH gradient 3 to 8) the galactosyltransferases (GalT-3 and GalT-4) have been separated from SAT-3. Two beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases (GlcNAcT-2(UDP-GlcNAc:nLcOse4Cer(beta 1-3] and GlcNAcT-3(UDP-GlcNAc:nLcOse4Cer(beta 1-6] have also been solubilized from mouse T-lymphoma, P-1798, using Triton CF-54. These enzymes are involved in the synthesis of Ii-core gangliosides and 3H-products have been characterized by methylation studies. Further separation of these two GlcNAcT's are in progress.

Abstract
Neural retinal cells from 9-d-old chick embryos were assayed for uridine diphosphate (UDP)-galactose:ganglioside GM2 galactosyltransferase, or GM1 synthetase, activity using the oligosaccharide fragment of GM2, oligo-GM2, oligo-GM2, as the exogenous acceptor. The results demonstrated that this enzyme activity was present on the external surfaces of intact cells. Little difference between the specific activities of cell surface GM1 synthetase could be detected when cells derived from dorsal and ventral segments of the neural retina were compared. These results suggested that this cell-surface enzyme was not present in a concentration gradient along the dorsoventral axis of the neural retina.

Abstract
We have examined the hypothesis that glycolipids might serve as receptors for the cell surface glycoprotein fibronectin using three different biological assay systems. We find that purified solubilized gangliosides inhibit fibronectin-mediated hemagglutination, cell spreading, and restoration of a normal morphologic phenotype to transformed cells. The inhibition is dose-dependent and competitive; hemagglutination by 2 micrograms/ml fibronectin is half-maximally inhibited by less than 1 microM gangliosides. The most effective ganglioside inhibitors generally contain the most sialic acid residues. The isolated oligosaccharide portions of gangliosides retain this inhibitory activity and the oligosaccharides with more sialic acid are more effective inhibitors. A series of other lipids or ganglioside constituents are either less effective or without detectable activity. The more active of these lipids are the more negatively charged phospholipids such as phosphatidyl serine and phosphatidyl inositol. Our results support the hypothesis that the "receptors" for fibronectin on the cell surface either consist of or contain gangliosides or other negatively charged lipids.

Abstract
(1) The receptor mediated endocytosis of homologous LDL by human skin fibroblasts can be significantly enhanced by prior incubation of the cells with sphingolipids. Gangliosides GM1 or GD1a, their desialylated derivatives and sphingosine stimulate binding and uptake to LDL by up to 40% of normal values. The effect is observed in normal fibroblasts, LDL receptor deficient fibroblasts or in tunicamycin-treated cells with a reduced number of functional receptors but is dependent on the time of preincubation of the cells and the concentration of the sphingolipid in the medium. (2) Detailed studies on the ganglioside effect revealed, that cell bound gangliosides intensify the LDL-induced suppression of [14C] acetate incorporation into cholesterol. (3) The receptor dependence and relative receptor specificity of the sphingolipid effect is evident from the fact that (a) after complete suppression of receptor synthesis gangliosides fail to stimulate uptake of LDL, that (b) fatty acids or lipids not containing sphingosine are without effect and that (c) the receptor specific internalisation of alpha 2-macroglobulin or epidermal growth factor is not influenced by exogenous sphingolipids.

Abstract
A new thin-layer chromatographic system on silica gel for the separation of sialyloligosaccharides is described. Calibration of the system with standard milk and colostrum sialyloligosaccharides is presented. The use of the system in monitoring different oligosaccharides is demonstrated for the purification of bovine colostrum sialyllactose isomers and a commercial sialyllactose product, and is discussed with respect to other biological fluids. The large-scale preparation of pure sialyllactose isomers from bovine colostrum is achieved using an improved ion-exchange separation on Dowex 1-X2 (less than 400 mesh) employing isomolar elution at 20 mM for monosialyloligosaccharides and 200 mM for disialyllactose. The purification of four major monosialyltrisaccharides, the 2-3 and 2-6 isomers of N-acetylneuraminyllactose, N-glycolylneuraminyl2-3lactose and N-acetylneuraminyl2-6-N-acetyllactosamine, and the disialyltetrasaccharide di-N-acetylneuraminyllactose is reported. The detection and partial purification of three new minor monosialyloligosaccharides is described.

Abstract
A series of substrates, sialyl(2 leads to 6)GalNAc and ganglioside GM3, containing either N-acetylneuraminic acid (AcNeu) or N-glycolloylneuraminic acid (GcNeu), has been prepared. The trisaccharide GcNeu(2 leads to 3)lactose was preapred by ozonolysis of GcNeu-GM3, and the disaccharides AcNeu(2 leads to 6)GalNAc and GcNeu(2 leads to 6)GalNAc were isolated from bovine submandibular-gland mucin by alkali elimination. Sialidases from Newcastle-disease virus, fowl-plague virus, influenza virus A2, Clostridium perfringens, Vibrio cholerae, Arthrobacter ureafaciens and human liver lysosomes were studied with the above substrates and all showed poorer cleavage of GcNeu-containing substrates when compared with the corresponding AcNeu-containing compounds. This was reflected in the Km and Vmax. values of these sialidases. Differences between viral and bacterial sialidases could be detected on the basis of their kinetic constants and time curves of sialic acid release. Preferred release of AcNeu relative to GcNeu was also observed with bovine submandibular gland mucin and a mixture of human and porcine erythrocytes, macromolecular substrates containing both AcNeu and GcNeu. The significance of differential cleavage of AcNeu and GcNeu by sialidases is considered together with examples of the role of GcNeu in physiologicaL systems.

Abstract
Staphylococcal leukocidin is resolved by chromatography on carboxymethyl cellulose columns into two components, which are designated F (fast) and S (slow). Fixation and inactivation of both components were studied as follows. (i) Leukocidin activity was confined to the first 10 min of intoxication, and the maximal effect resulted from treating 10(6) rabbit peripheral polymorphonuclear leukocytes per 20 mul with 0.5 ng of each component of leukocidin. The S component was more responsible for the interaction with the leukocytes than the F component. (ii) The F component was inactivated by phosphatidylcholine at concentrations which corresponded to molar proportions of 1:1 and bound to [(14)C]phosphatidylcholine at equimolar proportions. (iii) The S component was inactivated by ganglioside G(M1) at 1:1 molar proportions, but not by any of the related glycolipids. Ganglioside G(M1) also was precipitated with the S component by a gel diffusion technique. Subunit B of cholera toxin competitively inhibited the binding of the S component to rabbit leukocyte membranes. This indicates that ganglioside G(M1) may resemble or be part of the receptor site for the S component.

Abstract
The P1 and Pk blood group glycolipid antigens have the common terminal disaccharide, Gal(alpha, 1-4)Gal, but previous studies indicated that anti-P1 from P2 individuals does not cross-react with Pk antigen. In this paper, the specificities of anti-P1 and anti-Pk were analyzed carefully by complement fixation and hemagglutination techniques and the following results were obtained: (1) Anti-P1 from P2 serum was not absorbed with the Pk glycolipid (CTH), but this antigen absorbed all anti-P1 and anti-Pk (anti-P1Pk) antibodies from the sera of four p individuals. Most of the anti-P1Pk antibodies were IgG, but the anti-p1 from the P2 individual was IgM. (2) The Pk antigen on normal P2 erythrocytes was not 'cryptic'. It was reactive with p serum from which the anti-P antibodies were removed by absorption with the P glycolipid (globoside). This was not appreciated previously because, in order to make anti-Pk reagents, p sera (anti-P1PPk) were absorbed with P1 cells which contain CTH. (3) The anti-P1Pk antibodies in p sera were separated by partial absorption with P1 erythrocytes and elution from the absorbing cells, into two fractions that differ markedly in their affinity for alpha-methyl-D-galactoside and the oligosaccharides prepared from CTH.

Abstract
The (high-affinity receptor)-mediated uptake of homologous low-density (low-rho) lipoproteins by cultured human arterial smooth muscle cells or human skin fibroblasts is controlled by the sialic acid content of low-rho lipoprotein particles. This conclusion is derived from the following results. 1. Gangliosides incubated with native low-rho lipoproteins associate with low-rho lipoprotein particles. Low-rho lipoproteins modified by associated GLac1, GGtet1, and GGtet2b + GGtet3 gangliosides are internalized by arterial smooth muscle cells at a rate up to 80% lower than native low-rho lipoproteins or those preincubated with desialized gangliosides. 2. The inhibitory effect of gangliosides is specific for high affinity uptake and not detectable on skin fibroblasts deficient in low-rho-lipoprotein receptor. 3. Desialyzed low-rho lipoproteins are internalized by smooth muscle cells up to 100% faster than native low-rho lipoproteins, the enhancement of uptake corresponding to the degree of desialization.

Abstract
Gangliosides generally provide a small portion of the complex carbohydrate content of cell surfaces. An exception is the central nervous system where they comprise up to 5--10% of the total lipid of some membranes. This tissue is unique in that the quantity of lipid-bound sialic acid exceeds that of the protein-bound fraction. Over 30 different molecular species have been characterized to date. These range in complexity from sialosylgalactosyl ceramide with 2 sugars to the pentasialoganglioside of fish brain with 9 carbohydrate units. Virtually all cellular and subcellular fractions of brain that have been carefully examined contain gangliosides to one degree or another, but the majority of brain ganglioside is located in the neurons. Their mode of distribution within the neuron has not been entirely clarified by subcellular studies. Calculations based on reported values for axon terminal density and synaptosomal ganglioside concentration in the rat reveal that nerve endings contribute less than 12% of total cerebral cortical ganglioside. It is concluded that the plasma membranes of neuronal processes contain most of the neuronal ganglioside. These and other considerations suggest the possibility that gangliosides may be distributed over the entire neuronal surface.

Abstract
The ganglioside level and pattern of human gliomas in monolayer cultures were examined. These gliomas revealed morphological variations that correlated with several features of ganglioside analysis. Glioblastoma lines TC 178 and TC 501 that morphologically had changed during extended subculture revealed reduced amounts and a simplified pattern of gangliosides with almost total loss of the characteristic brain complex gangliosides. In contrast, two glioblastoma lines TC 526 and TC 593, as well as the oligodendroglioma line TC 620 showed brain-like gangliosides and the cells in these cultures had maintained their characteristic morphology observed during early subcultures. The possibility that altered ganglioside levels occur in conjunction with morphological changes after propagation in vitro is discussed.

Abstract
The five major gangliosides of the human alimentary mucosa were purified with silicic acid column chromatography and with thin-layer chromatography. The linkages in the carbohydrate portion were analysed by permethylation with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A succesful analysis of the linkages of two hematosides and three tetraglycosylceramides was performed. Two of the tetraglycosylamides had a galactosamine in their chain and one had a glucosamine.

Abstract
1. The lipid fraction of the plasma membrane of pig mesenteric lymph-node lymphocytes contained primarily (94%) neutral lipids and phospholipids in about equal weights. The remianing lipid comprised glycosphingolipids (1.8%), gangliosides (o.27%)and probably ceramides (1.3%). The major phospholipid was phosphatidylcholine (46% of the total), and mono- and tri-hexosylceramides accounted for 72% of the glycosphingolipids. Haematoside was distributed between the glycosphingolipid and ganglioside fractions. The major ganglioside was monosialoganglioside. About 90% of the sialic acid was N-glycollylated. 2. A comparision of the lipid composition of the plasma-membrane fraction with that of the initial lymph-node homogenate showed that the purified membrane contained increased proportions of phospholipids, especially sphingomyelin, glycosphingolipids and gangliosides. 3. Fatty acid analyses showed that the membrane phosphatidylcholine was rich in palmitic acid, that the sphingomeyelin and phosphatidylethanolamine were high in myristic acid and that the glycosphingolipids were rich in oleic acid.

Abstract
1. Eight gangliosides were purified from chloroform/methanol extracts of human kidneys by using modified Folch partition, dialysis, ethanol precipitation, silicic acid column chromatography and preparative thin-layer chromatography. 2. By thin-layer chromatographic behaviour and gas-liquid chromatographic determinations the main gangliosides in human kidney are N-acetylneuraminyllactosylceramide (74% of total) and di-N-acetylneuraminyllactosylceramide (19% of total). 3. Five hexosamine-containing fractions were isolated. Four of them were homogeneous on thin-layer chromatography, and one contained two gangliosides. By gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry it was shown that two gangliosides (together 5% of total) contain glucosamine, and one (1% of total) contains galactosamine. The other of the glucosamine gangliosides contains fucose in addition to the usual sugars found in gangliosides. Of the two remaining hexosamine positive fractions (together 1% of total) one was homogeneous on thin-layer chromatography, the other contained two gangliosides. These two fractions contained both glucosamine and galactosamine. 4. The main long-chain base in all fractions was sphingosine.

Abstract
The hemolytic activity of staphylococcal alpha-toxin is inhibited by an N-acetylglucosamine-containing ganglioside (GlcNAc-ganglioside) but not by any of the related glycolipids. The GlcNAc-ganglioside also is precipitated with the toxin by a gel-diffusion technique. It is postulated that GlcNAc-ganglioside may be the membrane receptor for the alpha-toxin.

Abstract
Gangliosides of the human alimentary mucosa were purified and analysed with thin-layer chromatography and gas chromatography. The content of ganglioside neuraminic acid was 0.16 mumol/g dry weight in the stomach, 0.07 mumol/g dry weight in the small intestine and 0.11 mumol/g dry weight in the large intestine. Mono- and disialosylhemosides were the major gangliosides, on a molar basis 68% of the total found in the stomach and 44% of the total in the small and large intestine. Considerable amounts of more complex gangliosides were found, especially in the small and large intestine, in which the molar content of tri- and tetraglycosylgangliosides containing galactosamine made up 38% of the total. Two glucosamine-containing gangliosides were also found, the probable structures of which were mono- and disialotetraglycosylceramide. The presence of the latter is reported for the first time.
