한국산 동백나무겨우살이(Pseudixus japonicus Hayata)에 존재하는 수용성 리그닌-탄수화물 복합체를 구성하는 다당류의 구조를 밝히고 리그닌 성분과 다당류의 결합양식을 구명하고자, 냉 온수 추출한 수용성 리그닌-탄수화물 복합체(M-LCC-WE)를 DEAE Sephadex A-50로 중성분획(M-LCC-N)과 산성분획(M-LCC-A), 나머지분획(M-LCC-R)으로 세분화한 후 M-LCC-N과 M-LCC-A에 대하여 메틸화, 아세틸화, 그리고 DDQ 산화반응을 실시하였다. M-LCC-N을 구성하는 다당류는 ($1{\rightarrow}4$) 글리코시드결합의 arabinan과 ($1{\rightarrow}4$)나 ($1{\rightarrow}6$) 글리코시드결합의 galactan과 glucan으로 M-LCC-A의 다당류는 ($1{\rightarrow}4$) 글리코시드결합의 arabinan과 ($1{\rightarrow}6$) 글리코시드결합의 galactan이 다당류 주성분으로 밝혀졌으며 galacturonic acid가 결합되어 있기 때문에 산성적 성질을 나타내고 있었다. 또한 M-LCC-A에서는 galacturonic acid 의 carboxyl 그룹이 리그닌의 ${\alpha}$-와 ${\gamma}$-위치에서 ester결합이 존재함이 확인되었다.

참당귀 유래 면역활성 다당의 활성과 구조의 상관관계를 규명하고자 조다당 AGE-0로부터 두 차례의 연속적인 컬럼 크로마토그래피를 실행하여 단일 정제 다당 AGE-2c-I을 얻었다. AGE-2c-I은 농도의존적으로 우수한 항보체 활성을 보여주었으며, 일반화학적 특성을 분석한 결과, 분자량 약 140 kDa의 고분자 다당으로 4종의 구성당과 13종의 당쇄 결합양식으로 구성되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 다당은 ${\beta}$-glucosyl Yariv reagent와의 높은 반응성을 보임으로써 arabino-3,6-galactan의 구조를 가진 rhamnogalacturonan-I 구조임을 추정할 수 있었다. 한편, AGE-2c-I의 미세구조의 해명과 항보체 활성에 관여하는 다당 중의 활성부위 검토를 위해 ${\alpha}$-L-arabinofuranosidase와 endo-1,4-${\beta}$-galactanase를 이용한 연속적 가수분해를 행하고 얻은 단편획분들을 이용, 구성당 및 당쇄결합 양식 분석, ${\beta}$-glucosyl Yariv reagent와의 반응성 검토 및 항보체 활성 결과를 분석한 결과, 참당귀 유래 항보체활성 다당 AGE-2c-I은 rhamnogalacturonan-I과 유사한 구조를 소유하고 있음이 확인되었으며, AGE-2c-I의 측쇄 구조인 arabino-${\beta}$-3,6-galactan 사슬이 항보체 활성 발현에 주요 역할을 수행하며, 5-linked Araf와 3,5-branched Araf로 구성된 ${\alpha}$-arabinan 측쇄가 활성에 부분적으로 관여하고 있음을 최종 확인할 수 있었다.

다당의 생물활성은 다당의 구조적인 특징과 분자량 분포에 의해 중요한 영향을 미치기 때문에, 특정 다당의 정제는 다당 연구를 위해 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 특성을 소유한 다당의 분획을 위한 신속 분리 방법을 개발하고 대표 화합물로 한국산 귤피로부터 조제한 다당 혼합물을 이용, 본 분리법을 최적화 하였다. 귤피는 펙티나아제 처리 후 에탄올 침전법을 통해 조다당 획분인 CPE로 조제되었으며, CPE는 재차 농도별로 연속 희석된 에탄올 용액(EtOH:DIW=8:1, 4:1, 3:1, 2:1, 1.5:1, 1:1, 및 0.5:1)을 이용하여 7가지 획분(CPE8-CPE0.5)으로 분획되었다. CPE8-CPE1획분은 구성당 분석 결과 람노갈락투로난-I과 람노갈락투로난-II 다당의 지표 구성당인 총 11종의 서로 다른 당으로 구성되어 있었으며, arabino-${\beta}$-3,6-galactan 잔기를 함유하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 CPE0.5 획분에서는 람노갈락투로난-II 및 arabino-${\beta}$-3,6-galactan 잔기를 함유하고 있지 않았다. 한편, CPE8-CPE1 획분을 처리한 mouse 복강 대식세포에서는 농도의존적으로 IL-6의 생산 증가가 관찰된 반면, CPE1 및 CPE0.5 획분에서는 활성이 급격히 감소됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 이상의 결과로부터 분리방법이 다양한 특성을 갖는 다당의 혼합물로부터 생물활성을 갖는 람노갈락투로난류를 신속히 분리하는데 매우 유용한 것으로 판단되었다.

Background: Many researchers reported that the various immune activities of red ginseng are due to acid polysaccharides. But, the exact structural characteristics of the acidic polysaccharide in red ginseng have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, we isolated the acidic polysaccharide from red ginseng and characterized the structural property of the active moiety of this polysaccharide, which contributes to the immunostimulatory activity of red ginseng. Methods: A polysaccharide (RGP-AP-I) was purified from red ginseng via size-exclusion chromatography using Sephadex G-100. Immunostimulatary activity of RGP-AP-I was investigated via anti-complementory and macrophage stimulatory activity. The structure of RGP-AP-I was characterized by HPLC, sugar composition, β-glucosyl Yariv reagent and methylation analysis. Results: Peritoneal macrophages stimulated using RGP-AP-I significantly augmented the production of various cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-6, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. The primary structure of RGP-AP-I was elucidated by assessing its sugar composition and methylation analysis. RGP-AP-I is a 96 kDa acidic polysaccharide, and comprises nine different monosaccharides, which mainly include sugars such as rhamnose (Rha, 9.5%), galacturonic acid (GalA, 18.4%), galactose (Gal, 30.4%), and arabinose (Ara, 35.0%). RGP-AP-I exhibited an considerable reaction with the β-glucosyl Yariv reagent, revealing the presence of arabino-β-3,6-galactan. Methylation analysis indicated that RGP-AP-I comprises 21 different glycosyl linkages, such as 3-, 4-, 6- and 3,6-linked Galp; 5-linked Araf; 2,4-linked Rhap; and 4-linked GalAp, which are characteristics of rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I). Conclusion: we assumed that the immunostimulatory activity of RGP-AP-I may be due to the RG-I structure, which comprises a main chain with a repeating linkage unit, [→2)-Rhap-(1→4)-GalAp-(1→] and three groups of side chains such as (1→5)-linked arabinan, (1→4)-linked galactan, and arabino-β-3,6-galactan, which branch at the C(O)4 positions of Rha residues in the main chain of RGP-AP-I.

Background: Panax ginseng Meyer polysaccharides exhibit various biological functions, like antagonizing galectin-3-mediated cell adhesion and migration. Galectin-8 (Gal-8), with its linker-joined N- and C-terminal carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs), is also crucial to these biological processes, and thus plays a role in various pathological disorders. Yet the effect of ginseng-derived polysaccharides in modulating Gal-8 function has remained unclear. Methods: P. ginseng-derived pectin was chromatographically isolated and enzymatically digested to obtain a series of polysaccharides. Biolayer Interferometry (BLI) quantified their binding affinity to Gal-8, and their inhibitory effects on Gal-8 was assessed by hemagglutination, cell migration and T-cell apoptosis. Results: Our ginseng-derived pectin polysaccharides consist mostly of rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I) and homogalacturonan (HG). BLI shows that Gal-8 binding rests primarily in RG-I and its β-1,4-galactan side chains, with sub-micromolar K_D values. Both N- and C-terminal Gal-8 CRDs bind RG-I, with binding correlated with Gal-8-mediated function. Conclusion: P. ginseng RG-I pectin β-1,4-galactan side chains are crucial to binding Gal-8 and antagonizing its function. This study enhances our understanding of galectin-sugar interactions, information that may be used in the development of pharmaceutical agents targeting Gal-8.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of several saccharides on the induction of capacitation and acrosome reaction (AR) and to examine the effects of mono and polysaccharides on the penetration activity of boar spermatozoa. Spermatozoa were inseminated in medium with fucose, galactose and mannose as monosaccharide, and fucoicIan. galactan and marman as polysaccharide. The penetration rates were significantly (p<0.05) lower in medium with galactose (40.6%), mannose (38.1%), fucose (41.6%) and fucoidan (36.6%) compared with control (56.7%). The rates of AR were increased (40.7 to 59.8%) by the preincubation periods prolonged from 0 to 4 hr (p<0.05). Similar tendencies were observed in AR when spermatozoa were treated with monosaccharides, but not significantly differ among the groups treated with different time of preincubation with some exception of galactose. When spermatozoa were treated with polysaccharides, the rates of AR were significantly (p<0.05) increased by preincubation time prolonged from 0 to 4 hr with an exception of fucoidan. In conclusion, the present study suggests that penetration rate of spermatozoa is higher in presence of polysaccharides than monosaccharides. Also, it may resume that the comparing to control, the all saccharides (L-fucose, D-galactose, D-mannose, fucoidan. galactan and mannan)-treated groups slightly increase the AR pattern as preincubation time prolonged.

This experiment was carried out to elucidate the sugar composition of polysaccharides and the structural features of water-soluble polysaccharides(WSP) isolated from Korean oak mistletoe, Loranthus yadoriki Sieb. The 48-hours ball-milled meals of extractive-free dried mistletoe sawdusts were extracted with distilled water for $24hrs{\times}2$ at room temperature. The extracts poured into 95% ethyl alcohol to precipitate. The separated precipitate of WSP, in form of yellowish white powder by lyophilization, was fractionated into four subfractions of WSP-1, WSP-2, WSP-3 and WSP-4 by anion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose column. The sugar composition of WSPs was analyzed by GLC in form of their glycitol acetates, and the structure of polysaccharides in Fractions WSP-1 and WSP-2 was determined by FT-IR and GC-MS after methylation through and acetylation. The sugars of WSPs from Korean oak mistletoe, Loranthus yadoriki, are majorly arabinose and galactose in stem, galactose in leaves very high in content and showed difference in composition and monomeric units between stems and leaves. D-galactose, D-glucose and L-arabinose are the simple sugars consisting of polysaccharides in WSP-1. ($1{\rightarrow}3$)-Linked galactan is the bakcbone with side chain of ($1{\rightarrow}5$)- -L-arabinofuranosyl residues and ($1{\rightarrow}6$)- -D-galactopyranosyl residues, and ($1{\rightarrow}4$)-linked glucan also presents. ($1{\rightarrow}4$)-Linked rhamnogalacturonan and ($1{\rightarrow}4$)- and ($1{\rightarrow}3$)-linked galactan present in WSP-2.

The dilute-acid pretreatment/hydrolysis of hemicellulose in oak wood using a percolation reactor was investigated. The experimental conditions ranged 160∼180$^{\circ}C$ and 0.05∼0.2 wt.% sulfuric acid. XMG(xylan+mannan+galactan) recovery was higher when sulfuric acid was used as leaching solvent than water. Also it was important for high XMG recovery to keep leaching temperature higher after reaction. XMG recovery was decreased as the size of wood chips was increased. At an optimum condition (reaction condition= 170$^{\circ}C$, 0.1% sulfuric acid, 1ml/min, 10min, leaching condition=0.1% sulfuric acid, 2mL/min, 20 min), the product yield and the sugar concentration were about 92% and 2.7%, respectively.

Bone marrow cell proliferating arabinogalactan-like polysaccharide (ALR-3IIa-1-1) has been purified from rhizomes of Atractylodes lancea DC. In order to characterize the essential structure of ALR-3IIa-1-1 for expression of the activity, sequential enzymatic digestion using ego-$\alpha$-L-arabinofurasidase (AFase) and ego-$\beta$-D-(1longrightarrow3)-galactanase (GNase) was employed. After ALR-3IIa-1-1 was digested with the AFase, the GNase digestion cleaved only 10% and 23% of 3-linked and 3,6-branched galactose, respectively, from arabinose-trimmed ALR-3IIa-1-1 (AT-ALR-3IIa-1-1), and gave small amounts of intermediate size (AT-G-2) and shorter oligosaccharides (AT-G-3) fractions in addition to a large amount of the GNase resistant fraction (AT-G-1). When AT-G-1 was redigested gradually with the AFase and GNase, it released trace amounts of oligosaccharides in addition to a large amount of the resistant fraction. When the final enzyme-resistant fraction from AT-G-1 was digested simultaneously with both AFase and GNase, the resistant fraction was significantly degraded into two long fragments (3AT-3G-1 and 2). The mixture of digestion products from the first GNase digestion of AT-ALR-3IIa-1-1 showed a significantly decreased bone marrow cell proliferation activity to about 30% of the activity of ALR-3IIa-1-1, but the GNase resistant fraction (AT-7-1) still had significant activity. Although the second gradual enzymatic digestion of AT-G-1 showed a marginal decrease in activity, the resulting fragments (3AT-3G-1 and 2) by the final simultaneous enzymatic digestion lost most of the activity. Component sugar, methylation and FAB-MS analyses indicated that the digestion products (AT-G-21 AT-G-31 2AT-2G-2 and 2AT-2G-3) released from AT-ALR-3IIa-1-1 by the sequential enzymatic digestion contained galactose-containing oligosaccharides mainly comprising 6-linked galactose, that some of which were partially arabinosylated, and these oligosaccharides were attached to $\beta$-D-(1longrightarrow3)-galactan backbone in its non-reducing terminal side as side chains.
