dc.description.abstractThe detailed characterization of a novel heparin-like glycosaminoglycan purified from the viscera (heads) of the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is reported. Structural analysis performed by mono-and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy revealed it to be rich in both glucuronic acid and N, 6-sulfated glucosamine residues. the key peculiarities were its high 3-O-sulfated glucosamine content compared to mammalian heparins; a residue which is usually associated with the antithrombin (AT) binding site, and the location of these residues within 2-O-sulfated iduronate and glucuronate-containing sequences (I(2S-)A*-G), a situation not found in mammalian heparin. It also exhibited higher molecular weight (similar to 36 kDa) than conventional heparin (similar to 16 kDa) but, negligible anticoagulant activity (similar to 5 IU/mg compared to heparin similar to 190 IU/mg) and stabilization of AT, which has been linked directly to anticoagulation activity. A high affinity fraction, eluting at a similar salt concentration (0.75-1.5 M NaCl) from an antithrombin affinity column, to the high affinity fraction of heparin, also showed only weak thermal stabilization of AT (+ similar to 2 degrees C). These structural peculiarities may help elucidate more clearly the relationship between structure and function of sulfated polysaccharides, and provide useful model compounds with which to better understand interactions of biological significance.
