Purified ganglioside from Tay-Sachs' brain was hydrolyzed in aqueous acid to give three glycolipids glucocerebroside, ceramide-lactoside, and asialoganglioside. The latter was shown to have the structure, N-acetylgalactosamine(1[forward arrow]4)galactose(l[forward arrow]4)glucose(l[forward arrow] l)ceramide. Brief refluxing of the ganglioside with methanolic HC1 gave "hematoside" as one of the products, with the structure N-acetylneuraminic acid (2[forward arrow]3) galactose(l[forward arrow]4)glucose(1[forward arrow]1)ceramide. The linkages in both cases were determined by identification of the fragments from the sequence: peri-odate-borohydride-acid hydrolysis. The results establish for the first time the location of NANA at C-3 of galactose and also serve to confirm the structure of the asialo derivative proposed by Makita and Yamakawa on the basis of permethylation studies. The ganglioside structure was shown to be: galNac(1[forward arrow]4)gal(l[forward arrow]4)glu(l[forward arrow]l)ceramide [image] Sphingosine components included four long-chain bases, similar to those of normal brain gangliosides. Stearate comprised 90.5% of the fatty acid composition, and 19 others accounted for the remainder. A carefully purified sample showed no amino acids or peptides. The ganglioside itself was resistant to neuraminidase, but the hematoside derived from it was readily degraded to ceramide-lactoside. || ABSTRACT AUTHORS: Authors
