Solution conformations of GM3 gangliosides containing different sialic acid residues as revealed by NOE-based distance mapping, molecular mechanics, and molecular dynamics calculations.

Abstract:

:The conformation of the GM3 ganglioside, Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1 Cer, and its analogs containing the Neu5Gc or Neu4Ac5Gc residues (Gc = glycolyl, CH2OHCO) was investigated in Me2SO-d6 solution with the aid of a distance-mapping procedure based on rotating-frame NOE contacts, with hydroxyl protons being used as long-range sensors defining the distance constraints. A pronounced flexibility found for both the Neu-Gal and Gal-Glc linkages was confirmed by 1000-ps molecular dynamics simulations. Similar results, although based on a smaller number of NOE constraints, were obtained for GM3 gangliosides anchored in mixed D2O/dodecylphosphocholine-d38 micelles and for the Neu5Ac-, Neu5Gc-, and Neu5,9Ac2-sialyllactoses dissolved in D2O. No noteworthy differences in conformational behavior of the glycan chains of the three gangliosides or sialyllactoses were observed in either of the media.
