The type-specific substance from Pneumococcus type 33B.

ABSTRACT: 1. The type-specific substance, S. 33B, from Pneumococcus type 33B contains P, 2.89; hexose, 51; total sugar, 69; galactosamine, 18; and d-glucose, 20%. 2. After degradation with alkali, followed by enzymic dephosphorylation, S. 33B yielded a hexasaccharide. 3. The hexasaccharide was assigned the structure O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl- (1-->5)-O-beta-d-galactofuranosyl- (1-->3)-O-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-d- galactopyranosyl-(1-->4)-O-[alpha-d- galactopyranosyl-(1-->2)]-alpha-d-galactopyranosyl- (1-->2)-ribitol. 4. Phosphate residues in S. 33B are located on the hydroxyl groups at position 5 of ribitol units and on the hydroxyl groups at position 6 of hexopyranose residues.

The type-specific substance from Pneumococcus type 29.

Project description:1. A pentasaccharide, corresponding to the dephosphorylated repeating unit of the specific substance, S.29, from Pneumococcus type 29, was obtained by hydrolysis with alkali followed by enzymic dephosphorylation. 2. The pentasaccharide was shown to be O-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-d-galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)-O-beta-d-galactofuranosyl-(1-->3)-O-beta-d-galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)-O-beta-d-galactofuranosyl-(1-->1)-ribitol. 3. The phosphodiester linkages in S.29 join the hydroxyl group at position 5 of ribitol and the hydroxyl group at position 3 or 4 of a 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-galactose residue in the next repeating unit. 4. A partial structure for S.29 was deduced from these experiments.

The type-specific substance from Pneumococcus type 13.

Project description:1. The type-specific substance, S.13, from Pneumococcus type 13 was subjected to hydrolysis with alkali, followed by enzymic dephosphorylation, to yield a pentasaccharide. 2. The pentasaccharide, corresponding to the dephosphorylated repeating unit of S.13, was shown to be O-beta-d-galactopyranosyl-(1-->4)-O-beta- d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-O-beta-d- galactofuranosyl-(1-->4)-O-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-d- glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-ribitol. 3. The phosphodiester linkages in S.13 join the hydroxyl group at position 1 of ribitol and the hydroxyl group at position 4 of a galactopyranosyl residue in the next repeating unit. 4. Ester groups, presumably O-acetyl, are located on positions 2 or 3 of most glucopyranosyl residues in S.13. 5. A partial structure for S.13 is proposed.

The type-specific substance from Pneumococcus type 11A(43).

Project description:1. The type-specific substance from Pneumococcus type 11A(43) is a polymer containing d-glucose, d-galactose, glycerol, phosphate and O-acetyl in the approximate molecular proportions 2:2:1:1:2. 2. Removal of the O-acetyl groups with ammonia gave a compound no longer active towards type 11A antiserum. 3. Treatment of S.11A with sodium borohydride, followed by hydrolysis with alkali yielded a phosphorus-free polysaccharide, whose structure was studied by methylation and by degradation with periodate. 4. Examination of S.11A and its de-O-acetyl derivative by periodate oxidation led to the partial structure (XI) for the type-specific substance, which thus has several features in common with S.18.

A partial structure of the type-specific substance was derived. 3. New syntheses of d-galactose 2-phosphate and d-galactose 3-phosphate are described.

The type-specific substance from Pneumococcus type 10A(34). Structure of the dephosphorylated repeating unit.

Project description:1. A hexasaccharide unit was isolated from the specific substance S. 10A from Pneumococcus type 10A (34) by hydrolysis with alkali followed by enzymic dephosphorylation. 2. The hexasaccharide was shown to be O-d-galactofuranosyl-(1-->3)-O-d- galactopyranosyl-(1-->4)-O-[d-galactofuranosyl- (1-->6)]-O-2-acet-amido-2-deoxy-d-galactopyranosyl- (1-->3)-O-d-galactopyranosyl-(1-->2)-ribitol.

The specific substance from Pneumococcus type 34 the configuration of the glycosidic linkages.

Project description:1. The specific compound from Pneumococcus type 34 was isolated from capsular material by ion-exchange chromatography. This separated it from a substance with chemical and serological properties corresponding to those reported for C-substance. 2. The configuration of the two galactofuranosyl linkages in the repeating unit of S.34 was determined and the configurations previously assigned to the other glycosidic linkages were confirmed. 3. The dephosphorylated deacetylated repeating unit is thus O-beta-d-galactofuranosyl-(1-->3)-O-alpha-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-O-beta-d-galactofuranosyl-(1-->3)-O-alpha-d-galactopyranosyl- (1-->2)-ribitol.

Penicillin Resistance of Nonvaccine Type Pneumococcus before and after PCV13 Introduction, United States.

Project description:Introduction of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in the United States was not associated with a significant change in prevalence of penicillin resistance in nonvaccine type serotypes because of the variable success of highly resistant serotypes. Differences in regional serotype distribution and serotype-specific resistance contributed to geographic heterogeneity of penicillin resistance.

Insights into the dynamic control of breathing revealed through cell-type-specific responses to substance P.

Project description:The rhythm generating network for breathing must continuously adjust to changing metabolic and behavioral demands. Here, we examined network-based mechanisms in the mouse preBötzinger complex using substance P, a potent excitatory modulator of breathing frequency and stability, as a tool to dissect network properties that underlie dynamic breathing. We find that substance P does not alter the balance of excitation and inhibition during breaths or the duration of the resulting refractory period. Instead, mechanisms of recurrent excitation between breaths are enhanced such that the rate that excitation percolates through the network is increased. We propose a conceptual framework in which three distinct phases of inspiration, the burst phase, refractory phase, and percolation phase, can be differentially modulated to control breathing dynamics and stability. Unraveling mechanisms that support this dynamic control may improve our understanding of nervous system disorders that destabilize breathing, many of which involve changes in brainstem neuromodulatory systems.
