    Abstract The molecular behavior and interaction of Re-type lipopolysaccharide (ReLPS) and phospholipids were investigated in two different types of model membrane systems, a pure phospholipid membrane consisting of 1,2-dielaidoyl-snglycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DEPE) and a raft-forming membrane composed of equimolar DEPE, sphingomyelin (SM), and cholesterol (Chol) by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. A remarkable influence of ReLPS on the property of lipid bilayer was found by analyzing the (13)C-NMR spectra. Namely, while both liquid-ordered (L(o)) and liquid-disordered (L(d)) phases co-exist in DEPE/SM/Chol, only the L(o) phase is present in DEPE/SM/Chol/ReLPS. This clearly indicates that ReLPS induces expansion of the raft area in the raft-forming membrane. The (1)H spin-lattice relaxation times in the rotating frame T( 1ρ) (H) in the two different membranes, DEPE/ReLPS and DEPE/SM/Chol/ReLPS, indicate that the motion of DEPE is affected by the presence of ReLPS, Chol, and SM, and much faster than that of ReLPS in both membranes. The ReLPS in the raft-forming membrane, in particular, accelerated the movement of DEPE. Thus, this study shows the possibility that LPS induces the expansion of raft region and the rapid motion of the raft-forming membranes to favor molecular interactions in the animal cell membrane during innate immune recognition.

    Abstract A new stage of endotoxin research was brought about by structure elucidation and chemical synthesis of lipid A, the lipophilic partial structure of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Gram-negative bacteria. Synthetic lipid A exhibited full endotoxic activity, which gave unequivocal evidence for the concept that lipid A is the active entity of endotoxin. Various lipid A analogues, as well as their radiolabeled derivatives and more complex partial structures of LPS, were also synthesized. By the use of these synthetic homogeneous preparations, not only simple studies on structure-activity relationships but precise and detailed analyses became possible on how this typical bacterial component is recognized by the innate immune receptor complex of mammalian cells.

    Abstract Chemistry-based investigation is reviewed which led to identification of the active entities responsible for the immunostimulating potencies of peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharide. Though these glycoconjugates which ubiquitously occur in wide range of bacteria as the essential components of their cell envelopes have long been known to enhance the immunological responses of higher animals, neither the precise chemical structures required nor the mechanism of their action had been elucidated until early 1970s. Chemical synthesis of partial structures of peptidoglycan proved N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine to be the minimum structure responsible for the activity and led to later identification of its receptor protein Nod2 present in animal cells. Another active partial structure of peptidoglycan, g-D-glutamylmeso-diaminopimelic acid, and its receptor Nod1 were also identified as well. With regard to lipopolysaccharide, its glycolipid part named lipid A was purified and the structure studied. Chemically synthesized lipid A according to the newly elucidated structure exhibited full activity described for lipopolysaccharide known as endotoxin. Synthetic homogeneous lipid A and its structural analogues and labeled derivatives enabled precise studies of their interaction with receptor proteins and the mechanism of their action. Chemical synthesis of homogeneous partial structures of peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharide gave unequivocal evidences for the concept that definite small molecular parts of these complex macromolecular bacterial glycoconjugates are specifically recognized by their respective receptors and trigger our defense system now widely recognized as innate immunity.

    Abstract Key transmembrane proteins in the innate immune system, Toll-like receptors (TLRs), have been suggested to occur in the genome of non-mammalian organisms including invertebrates. However, authentic invertebrate TLRs have been neither structurally nor functionally investigated. In this paper, we originally present the structures, localization, ligand recognition, activities, and inflammatory cytokine production of all TLRs of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis, designated as Ci-TLR1 and Ci-TLR2. The amino acid sequence of Ci-TLR1 and Ci-TLR2 were found to possess unique structural organization with moderate sequence similarity to functionally characterized vertebrate TLRs. ci-tlr1 and ci-tlr2 genes were expressed predominantly in the stomach and intestine as well as in hemocytes. Ci-TLR1 and Ci-TLR2 expressed in HEK293 cells, unlike vertebrate TLRs, were localized to both the plasma membrane and endosomes. Intriguingly, both Ci-TLR1 and Ci-TLR2 stimulate NF-kappaB induction in response to multiple pathogenic ligands such as double-stranded RNA, and bacterial cell wall components that are differentially recognized by respective vertebrate TLRs, revealing that Ci-TLRs recognize broader pathogen-associated molecular patterns than vertebrate TLRs. The Ci-TLR-stimulating pathogenic ligands also induced the expression of Ci-TNFalpha in the intestine and stomach where Ci-TLRs are expressed. These results provide evidence that the TLR-triggered innate immune systems are essentially conserved in ascidians, and that Ci-TLRs possess "hybrid" biological and immunological functions, compared with vertebrate TLRs. Moreover, it is presumed that chordate TLR ancestors also acquired the Ci-TLR-like multiple cellular localization and pathogen-associated molecular pattern recognition.

    Abstract A new 2J(C,H) index method is described for identification of aldohexopyranose. This method is based on a fact that 2J(C,H) values reflect the stereochemistry for glycol connectivity. Based on the observed 2J(C,H) values for galactose, glucose, and mannose, 2J(C,H) profiles for other aldohexopyranoses are proposed. A combination of 2J(C,H) values was found to be useful for identification of aldohexopyranosyl residues in glycans. [structure: see text]

    Abstract An extreme thermophile, Thermus thermophilus, has very unique glycolipids on the cell surface. The acidic immunostimulatory phosphoglycolipid of T. thermophilus was synthesized for the first time, with newly developed glycosylation methods using 3-nitropyridyl (3NPy) and 4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl (DMT) glycosides as glycosyl donors. The analogues of the phosphoglycolipid, which include a diastereomer possessing the opposite configuration at the diacyl glycerol moiety, were also synthesized. The biological activities of the synthesized compounds were elucidated with cytokine inductions (IL-6 and TNF-α). A synthetic phosphoglycolipid with a natural-type diacyl glycerol configuration showed apparent immunostimulatory activity, whereas its diastereomer did not. The present study revealed that the configuration at the diacyl glycerol moiety of the phosphoglycolipids is important for immunostimulation, suggesting the existence of the particular receptor/recognizing protein that can recognize the stereochemistry of the glycerol part.
