The core structure of the lipopolysaccharide from the causative agent of plague, Yersinia pestis

Carbohydrate Research. - 2002. - V. 337. - P. 775-777.

Abstract
The rough-type lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the plague pathogen, Yersinia pestis, was studied after mild-acid and strong-alkaline degradations by chemical analyses, NMR spectroscopy and electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry, and the following structure of the core region was determined:

where L-α-D-Hep stands for L-glycero-α-D-manno-heptose, Sug1 for either 3-deoxy-α-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (α-Kdo) or D-glycero-α-D-talo-oct-2-ulosonic acid (α-Ko), and Sug2 for either α-D-galactose or D-glycero-α-D-manno-heptose. A minority of the LPS molecules lacks GlcNAc.
