Abstract

Mycobacteria possess a unique, highly evolved, carbohydrate- and lipid-rich cell wall that is believed to be important for their survival in hostile environments. Until now, our understanding of mycobacterial cell wall structure has been based upon destructive isolation and fragmentation of individual cell wall components. This study describes the observation of the major cell wall structures in live, intact mycobacteria using 2D and 3D high-resolution magic-angle spinning (HR-MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). As little as 20 mg (wet weight) of [13C]-enriched cells were required to produce a whole-cell spectra in which discrete cross-peaks corresponding to specific cell wall components could be identified. The most abundant signals of the arabinogalactan (AG) and lipoarabinomannan (LAM) were assigned in the HR-MAS NMR spectra by comparing the 2D and 3D NMR whole-cell spectra with the spectra of purified cellular components. This study confirmed that the structures of the AG and LAM moieties in the cell wall of live mycobacteria are consistent with structural reports in the literature, which were obtained via degradative analysis. Most important, by using intact cells it was possible to directly demonstrate the effects of e...Continue Reading
