Abstract
Glycans on the surface of bacteria have diverse and essential biological functions and have widely been employed for treating various bacterial infectious diseases. Furthermore, these glycans comprise various functional groups, such as O-, N-, and carboxyl-modified, which significantly increase the diversity of glycan structures. These functional groups are not only crucial for glycans' structural identity but are also essential for their biological functions. Therefore, a clear understanding of the biological functions of these modified groups in corresponding bacterial glycans is crucial for their medical applications. Thus far, the activities of functional groups in some biomedical active carbohydrates have been elucidated. It has been shown that some functional groups are key constituents of biologically active bacterial glycans, while others are actually not essential and may even mask the functions of the glycans. This paper reviews the structures of naturally occurring side-chain functional groups in glycans located on the bacterial surface and their roles in immunological responses.

Structural and Serological Characterization of the O Antigen of Proteus mirabilis Clinical Isolates Classified into a New Proteus Serogroup, O84. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24054699. [PMID: 36902128 PMCID: PMC10003115 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24054699] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Two closely related Proteus mirabilis smooth strains, Kr1 and Ks20, were isolated from wound and skin samples, respectively, of two infected patients in central Poland. Serological tests, using the rabbit Kr1-specific antiserum, revealed that both strains presented the same O serotype. Their O antigens are unique among the Proteus O serotypes, which had been described earlier, as they were not recognized in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) by a set of Proteus O1-O83 antisera. Additionally, the Kr1 antiserum did not react with O1-O83 lipopolysaccharides (LPSs). The O-specific polysaccharide (OPS, O antigen) of P. mirabilis Kr1 was obtained via the mild acid degradation of the LPSs, and its structure was established via a chemical analysis and one- and two-dimensional 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy applied to both initial and O-deacetylated polysaccharides, where most β-2-acetamido-2-deoxyglucose (N-acetylglucosamine) (GlcNAc) residues are non-stoichiometrically O-acetylated at positions 3, 4, and 6 or 3 and 6, and a minority of α-GlcNAc residues are 6-O-acetylated. Based on the serological features and chemical data, P. mirabilis Kr1 and Ks20 were proposed as candidates to a new successive O-serogroup in the genus Proteus, O84, which is another example of new Proteus O serotypes identified lately among serologically differentiated Proteus bacilli infecting patients in central Poland.

Abstract
P. mirabilis strains Kro 45 and Kwy 46 were isolated from the pus and the muscular fluid, respectively, of a hospitalized 61-year-old female in Łódź, Poland. Both strains demonstrated a good swarming ability on a solid medium, and the Dienes test for differentiation of swarming strains indicated their identity. The strains were serologically identical and did not belong to any of the known Proteus O1-O81 serogroups. In this work, we studied the O-specific polysaccharide (O antigen) of P. mirabilis Kwy46, which defines the immunospecificity of the strain. The O-polysaccharide was obtained by mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide, and the following structure of its oligosaccharide repeat (O-unit) was established by sugar analysis along with 1D and 2D 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy: where (S)-lac indicates an (S)-1-carboxyethyl group [an (S)-lactic acid residue], which forms an ether with a GlcNAc residue (so called glycolactilic acid). This structure is unique among Proteus O-polysaccharides but shares a trisaccharide fragment with that of P. mirabilis O5. Studies of the cross-reactivity between P. mirabilis Kwy 46 O antiserum/lipopolysaccharide and Proteus O1-O81 lipopolysaccharides/O antisera allowed identification of a putative Kwy 46 O-antigen epitope. Based on the data obtained, it is proposed to create a new O82 serogroup within the genus Proteus represented by the studied P. mirabilis isolates.

Abstract
The current serological classification scheme of the medically important bacteria from the genus Proteus consists of 80 O serogroups, the last four of which (O77-O80) were created from clinical strains from Łódź, Poland. There are more serologically unique strains isolated from patient that do not fit into the existing scheme, such as Proteus mirabilis strain Sm 99 isolated from urine of a 74-year-old woman in Łódź. Serological investigation involving ELISA and Western blotting failed to classify the Proteus mirabilis strain Sm 99 into any of the 80 Proteus O serogroups. Sugar analysis along with two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy showed that the O-polysaccharide is composed of branched pentasaccharide repeating units containing one residue each of d-Glc, d-GlcNAc, d-GalNAc, d-glucuronic acid, and 4-[(R)-3-hydroxybutanoylamino]-4,6-dideoxy-d-glucose. The chemical and serological data show that the O antigen of P. mirabilis Sm 99 is unique among the known Proteus O antigens. Based on this finding, it is proposed to extend the current serological classification scheme of Proteus by adding a new serogroup, O81, which at present consists of P. mirabilis strain Sm 99 only.

Abstract
The O-polysaccharide was obtained by degradation of the lipopolysaccharide of Providencia alcalifaciens O2 under mild acidic conditions followed by GPC. The polysaccharide was found to contain two unusual components: 3,6-dideoxy-L-arabino-hexose (ascarylose, Asc) and 2-(L-alanyl)amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose (GlcNAla). Ascarylose was partially split off during lipopolysaccharide degradation and could be eliminated completely by selective acid hydrolysis, which also partially cleaved the β-GAlNAc-(1 → 6) linkage. The following structure of the branched pentasaccharide repeating unit was established by (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy of the O-polysaccharide and O-deacetylated polysaccharide, as well as products of partial acid hydrolysis: α-Ascp-(1 → 4)-α-D-GlcpA-(1 → 4) → 6)-β-D-GlcpNAla-(1 → 4)-β-D-GlpA-(1 → 3)-β-D-GalpNAc-(1 → ~60% OAc--3).

Abstract
Two Proteus mirabilis strains, 3 B-m and 3 B-k, were isolated from urine and faeces of a hospitalized patient from Lodz, Poland. It was suggested that one strain originated from the other, and the presence of the bacilli in the patient's urinary tract was most probably a consequence of autoinfection. The O-polysaccharide was obtained by mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide of P. mirabilis 3 B-m and studied by sugar analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, including two-dimensional rotating frame Overhause effect spectroscopy (ROESY) and 1H,13C heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) experiments. The following structure of the linear trisaccharide-repeating unit of the O-polysaccharide was established:-->2)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-alpha-L-6dTalp2Ac-(1-->3)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1-->where 6dTal2Ac stands for 2-O-acetyl-6-deoxy-L-talose. It resembles the structure of the O-polysaccharide of Proteus penneri O66, which includes additional lateral residues of 2,3-diacetamido-2,3,6-trideoxy-L-mannose. The lipopolysaccharides from two P. mirabilis strains studied were serologically identical to each other but not to that from any of the existing 76 Proteus O-serogroups. Therefore, the strains were classified into a new O77 serogroup specially created in the genus Proteus. Serological studies using Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with intact and adsorbed O-antisera showed that the P. mirabilis O77 antigen is related to Proteus vulgaris O2 and P. penneri O68 antigens, and a putative disaccharide epitope responsible for the cross-reactivity was revealed.

Abstract
An acidic branched O-polysaccharide was isolated by mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Proteus genomospecies 4 and studied by sugar and methylation analyses along with 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, including 2D COSY, TOCSY, ROESY and H-detected 1H, 13C HSQC experiments. The following structure of the pentasaccharide repeating unit of the O-polysaccharide was established, which is unique among Proteus polysaccharide structures: [structure: see text] where Qui3NAc stands for 3-acetamido-3,6-dideoxyglucose. Based on the O-polysaccharide structure and serological data, we propose classifying Proteus genomospecies 4 into a new, separate Proteus serogroup, O56. A weak cross-reactivity of Proteus genomospecies 4 antiserum with LPS of Providencia stuartii O18 and Proteus vulgaris OX2 was observed and is discussed in view of a similarity of the O-polysaccharide structures. Structural and serological investigations showed that Proteus genomospecies 5 and 6 should be classified into the existing Proteus serogroups O8 and O69, respectively.

Abstract
Formation of infectious urinary calculi is the most common complication accompanying urinary tract infections by members of the genus Proteus. The major factor involved in stone formation is the urease produced by these bacteria, which causes local supersaturation and crystallization of magnesium and calcium phosphates as carbonate apatite [Ca(10)(PO(4))(6).CO(3)] and struvite (MgNH(4)PO(4).6H(2)O), respectively. This effect may also be enhanced by bacterial polysaccharides. Macromolecules of such kind contain negatively charged residues that are able to bind Ca(2+) and Mg(2+), leading to the accumulation of these ions around bacterial cells and acceleration of the crystallization process. The levels of Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) ions bound by whole Proteus cells were measured, as well as the chemical nature of isolated LPS polysaccharides, and the intensity of the in vitro crystallization process was compared in a synthetic urine. The results suggest that the sugar composition of Proteus LPS may either enhance or inhibit the crystallization of struvite and apatite, depending on its chemical structure and ability to bind cations. This points to the increased importance of endotoxin in urinary tract infections.

Abstract
A high-molecular-mass O-specific polysaccharide was obtained by mild acid degradation of Proteus vulgaris O4 lipopolysaccharide followed by GPC. The polysaccharide was studied by chemical methods along with 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, including two-dimensional COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, H-detected 1H,13C HMQC, and 1H,13C HMBC experiments. Solvolysis of the polysaccharide with trifluoromethanesulfonic (triflic) acid resulted in a GlcpA-(1 --> 3)-GlcNAc disaccharide and a novel amino sugar derivative, 4,6-dideoxy-4-[N-[(R)-3-hydroxybutyryl]-L-alanyl]amino-D-glucose [Qui4N(HbAla)]. On the basis of the data obtained, the following structure of the tetrasaccharide repeating unit of the O-specific polysaccharide was established: --> 4)-beta-D-GlcpA-(1 --> 3)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1 --> 2)-beta-D-Quip4N(HbAla)-(1 --> 3)-alpha-D-Galp-(1 -->. This structure is unique among the O-specific polysaccharides, which is in accordance with classification of the strain studied in a separate Proteus serogroup.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide of Proteus penneri strain 63 was degraded by mild acid to give a high molecular mass O-specific polysaccharide that was isolated by gel-permeation chromatography. Sugar and methylation analyses and NMR spectroscopic studies, including two-dimensional 1H, 1H COSY, TOCSY rotating-frame NOE spectroscopy, H-detected 1H,13C and 1H,31P heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (HMQC), and 1H, 13C HMQC-TOCSY experiments, demonstrated the following structure of the polysaccharide: where FucNAc is 2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxygalactose and PEtn is 2-aminoethyl phosphate. The polysaccharide studied shares some structural features, such as the presence of D-GlcNAc6PEtn and an alpha-L-FucNAc-(1-->3)-D-GlcNAc disaccharide, with other Proteus O-specific polysaccharides. A marked cross-reactivity of P. penneri 63 O-antiserum with P. vulgaris O12 was observed and substantiated by a structural similarity of the O-specific polysaccharides of the two strains. In spite of this, the polysaccharide of P. penneri 63 has the unique structure among Proteus O-antigens, and therefore a new, separate serogroup, O68, is proposed for this strain.

Abstract
O-specific polysaccharide chain of Proteus penneri strain 2 lipopolysaccharide was studied by full and partial acid hydrolysis, Smith degradation, methylation analysis, and NMR spectroscopy, including two-dimensional rotating-frame NOE spectroscopy (ROESY) and 1H,13C heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (HMQC) experiments. Together with D-glucose and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose, the polysaccharide was found to contain two rarely occurring sugars, 6-deoxy-L-talose (L-6dTal) and 2,3-diacetamido-2,3,6-trideoxy-L-mannose (L-RhaNAc3NAc), and the following structure of a non-stoichiometrically O-acetylated tetrasaccharide repeating unit was established: [equation: see text] The O-specific polysaccharide studied has a unique composition and structure and, accordingly, P. penneri 2 is serologically separate among Proteus strains. Therefore, we propose for P. penneri 2 a new Proteus O-serogroup O66 where this strain is at present the single representative.
