摘要
Rhamogalacturonan II (RG-II) is a structurally complex pectic mega-oligosaccharide that is released enzymatically from the primary cell wall of higher plants. RG-II contains 28 monosaccharide units (MW congruent to 6KDa) which belong to 12 different families of glycosyl residues, including very unusual ones such as Kdo, Dha, aceric acid, and apiose. Eighteen different disaccharide seg segments can be identified, and so far the primary structure has not yet been determined. These monomeric units are arranged into four structurally well-defined oligosaccharide side chains, linked to a pectic backbone made up of 1,4-linked alpha-D-galactosyluronic acid residues. The specific attachment sites of these four side-chains on the pectic backbone remains to be elucidated. The present work presents a three-dimensional database of all the monosaccharide and disaccharide components of RG-II. The conformational behavior of D-Apif and L-AceAf monosaccharide has been assessed through computations performed with the molecular mechanics program MM3 using the flexible residue approach. For each furanosyl residue, energies of various envelope and twist conformers were systematically calculated as a function of the puckering parameters Q and phi. Energy minima are observed in both the Northern and Southern zones of the conformational wheel of each monosaccharide. As for the constituting segments, the conformational behaviour of 18 different disaccharides was evaluated using the flexible residue procedure of the MM3 molecular mechanics procedure. For each disaccharide, the adiabatic energy surface, along with the locations of the local energy minima and drawings of the conformations of each local minimum located in the energy maps have been established. The geometries of the minima and the potential energy surfaces of the different fragments were included in the database of the POLYS, a program for building oligo and polysaccharides. All these results were used for the generation, prior to a complete optimization, of the complete structure of each fragment of RG-II. It is shown that both A and B fragments are very flexible about the two sidechain glycosidic linkages which are closest to the backbone. The remaining part of the sidechain is rigid for the heavily branched A fragment, it is flexible for the more linear B fragment. The lowest energy conformer of each fragment results in good exposure of the hydroxyl groups of the apiosyl residues. Some possible implications of these features in boron complexation are presented.
