Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Lipoteichoic acids were isolated from eleven species of the genus Staphylococcus using phenol-water partition and hydrophobic chromatography on octyl-Sepharose CL-4B. The lipoteichoic acids purified could be visualized by SDS-PAGE. They were shown to be composed of a hydrophilic poly(glycerophosphate) chain covalently linked to gentiobiosyldiacylglycerol, the common lipid anchor of these molecules. Glycerophosphate units of the hydrophilic chain were found to be partly substituted with ester-linked D-alanine, except in the case of S. cohnii. The lipoteichoic acids isolated from S. cohnii, S. hominis, S. saprophyticus and S. simulans contain alpha(1-2)-linked N-acetylglucosamine as an additional substituent of the poly(glycerophosphate) backbone. |
