Abstract

To elucidate the structure-function relationship of polysaccharides obtained from Colocasia esculenta, the immuno-stimulating polysaccharide, CE-4a was purified to homogeneity from the crude polysaccharide (CE) extracted from the corms of C. esculenta by two subsequent column chromatographies using DEAE-Sepharose FF and Sephadex G-100, and analysis of their immuno-stimulatory activities and structure were conducted. CE-4a showed an increase in anti-complementary activity in a dose-dependent fashion. The molecular mass was estimated to be 182.4 kDa, which mainly consisted of galactose (43.5%) and mannose (18.2%). Methylation analysis indicated that CE-4a comprised at least 10 different glycosyl linkages, such as terminal Galp, 3-linked Galp, and 4-linked Manp, as well as a characteristic linkage, 2,4,6-branched Manp residue. To analyze the fine structure of CE-4a, it was sequentially digested using endo-α-(1→4)-polygalacturonase, exo-α-galactosidase and endo-β-1,4-D-mannanase. These analyses suggested that CE-4a is to be a highly branched galactomannan with a (1→4)-mannan backbone and galactopyranosyl oligosaccharide side chains.

토란에 존재하는 점질다당의 새로운 이용방안을 모색하기 위하여 토란으로부터 다당을 분리하여 항보체 활성을 평가하고 구조 분석을 행하였다. 토란으로부터 분리한 조다당 CE를 이온교환수지와 Sephadex G-100 column를 이용하여 정제하였고, 그 중 수율과 활성이 양호한 CE-4a를 최종 획분으로 선정하였다. 초기 면역반응에 중요한 역할을 하는 보체계에 대한 토란 다당의 활성화 여부를 측정한 결과 양성대조군인 PSK에 준하는 강력한 항보체 활성을 보였고, 시료의 농도차이를 두어 실험한 결과 농도 의존적임을 알 수 있었다. CE-4a는 분자량 약 182.4 kDa의 다당체로 구성당 조성을 확인한 결과 Man, Gal 및 GalA를 높은 비율로 함유하고 있었다. 본 당쇄의 결합양식을 규명하기 위하여 methlyation analysis를 행한 결과 CE-4a는 terminal Galp. 3-linked-Galp, 4-linked Manp, 2,4,6-linked Manp를 포함한 총 10종의 결합으로 구성되어 있었다. 또한 CE-4a의 전체구조를 추정하기 위하여 endo-α-(1→4)-polygalacturonase, exo-α-galactosidase 및 endo-β-(1→4)-mannanase를 이용한 연속 가수분해 처리 및 해석을 행하였다. 결과를 종합하면, 토란 유래 다당 CE-4a는 (1→4)-mannan 주쇄로 존재하며 주쇄인 mannose의 C(O)6 위치에서 한가닥 또는 C(O)2, C(O)6 위치에서 동시에 두가닥의 측쇄가 연결되어 존재하고, 측쇄는 주로 galacto oligo당이 측쇄로 분지된 특징이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
