    Structural analysis reveals the enterobacterial common antigen is a cyclic polysaccharide. It comprises repeating trisaccharide units, with D-Fuc4NAc (4-acetamido-4,6-dideoxy-D-galactose) as a key component.

    Area of Science:

    • Carbohydrate Chemistry
    • Immunochemistry
    • Structural Biology

    Background:

    • The enterobacterial common antigen (ECA) is a conserved surface polysaccharide found in many Gram-negative bacteria.
    • Understanding ECA's structure is crucial for developing targeted therapeutics and diagnostics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the precise structural organization of the enterobacterial common antigen.
    • To identify the repeating units and overall architecture of the ECA.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized chemical methods for structural analysis.
    • Employed fast-atom-bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) for molecular characterization.

    Main Results:

    • The enterobacterial common antigen is a cyclic polysaccharide.

  • The antigen is composed of repeating trisaccharide units.
  • Oligosaccharide chains of four, five, and six repeating units were identified.

    • Conclusions:

    • The structural elucidation provides a detailed molecular blueprint of the enterobacterial common antigen.
    • This structural information is vital for understanding ECA's role in bacterial physiology and host-pathogen interactions.
