Summary

Oligosaccharides with a new type of core structure, GalNAcβ1→4 Galβl→4[NGNA2→3]GalNAcβ1→3Ga1β1→3Ga1NAco1, have been isolated from trout egg glycoprotein. The occurrence of N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NGNA) linked 2→3 to the internal Ga1NAc residue is not known in any other glycoproteins and glycolipids. This NGNA residue was found to show some anomalous nature such as resistance to neuraminidases and unusual chemical shift values of H-3 protons in NMR spectra. A new feature is also found in the asialooligosaccharide structure, Ga1NAcβl→4Galβ1→4Ga1NAc, linked β1→3 to the linkage region disaccharide, Ga1β1→3Ga1NAc.

    First indications stem from the late 1950s. Over the years, the two sialic acids have been found to be attached to d-galactose (Gal) via (α2→3)419–423 or (α2→6)423–425 linkages, to N-acetyl-d-galactosamine (GalNAc) via (α2→3)426–428 or (α2→6)421,429–432 linkages, and to N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc) via an (α2→6) linkage.433 At the end of the 1970s, mid-1980s, terminal N-acylneuraminic acids were also discovered to be (α2→8)-linked434–436 or (α2→9)-linked437,438 with internal N-acylneuraminic acids, a phenomenon that was already seen in the 1960s for glycolipids (see Section 8.2).
