Uncovering the biological roles of heparosan oligosaccharides requires a simple and robust method for their separation and identification. We reported on systematic investigations of the retention behaviors of synthetic heparosan oligosaccharides on porous graphitic carbon (PGC) column by HPLC with charged aerosol detection. Oligosaccharides were strongly retained by PGC material in water-acetonitrile mobile phase, and eluted by trifluoroacetic acid occurring as narrow peaks. Addition of small fraction of methanol led to better selectivity of PGC to oligosaccharides than acetonitrile modifier alone, presumably, resulting from displacement of methanol to give different chemical environment at the PGC surface. Van't-Hoff plots demonstrated that retention behaviors highly depended on the column temperature and oligosaccharide moieties. By implementing the optimal MeOH content and temperature, a novel isocratic elution method was successfully developed for baseline resolution and identification of seven heparosan oligosaccharides using PGC-HPLC-CAD/MS. This approach allows for rapid analysis of heparosan oligosaccharides from various sources.

Moraxella lincolnii is a Gram-negative bacterium that resides in the upper respiratory tract (URT) of humans and may have a role as a member of a protective microbial community. Structural characterisation studies of its outer membrane glycan structures are very limited. We report here the isolation and structural characterisation (NMR, GLC-MS) of a capsular polysaccharide (CPS) and an oligosaccharide (OS) (lipooligosaccharide (LOS)-derived) isolated from strain CCUG 52988.

Heparosan, an unsulfated polysaccharide, plays a pivotal role as a primary precursor in the biosynthesis of heparin-an influential anticoagulant with diverse therapeutic applications. To enhance heparosan production, the utilization of metabolic engineering in nonpathogenic microbial strains is emerging as a secure and promising strategy. In the investigation of heparosan production by recombinant Bacillus megaterium, a kinetic modeling approach was employed to explore the impact of initial substrate concentration and the supplementation of precursor sugars.

A large number of bacterial pathogens bind to host extracellular matrix (ECM) components. For example, many Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens express binding proteins for fibronectin (FN) on their cell surface. Mutagenesis studies of bacterial FN-binding proteins have demonstrated their importance in pathogenesis in preclinical animal models.

The biological activities of heparan sulfate (HS) are intimately related to their molecular weights, degree and pattern of sulfation and homogeneity. The existing methods for synthesizing homogeneous sugar chains of low dispersity involve multiple steps and require stepwise isolation and purification processes. Here, we designed a mesoporous metal-organic capsule for the encapsulation of glycosyltransferase and obtained a microreactor capable of enzymatically catalyzing polymerization reactions to prepare homogeneous heparosan of low dispersity, the precursor of HS and heparin.

Heparin is an important anticoagulant drug, and microbial heparin biosynthesis is a potential alternative to animal-derived heparin production. However, effectively using heparin synthesis enzymes faces challenges, especially with microbial recombinant expression of active heparan sulfate N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase. Here, we introduce the monosaccharide N-trifluoroacetylglucosamine into Escherichia coli K5 to facilitate sulfation modification.
