Disease relevance of Colitose

Both O-antigen structures contain colitose, a 3,6 dideoxyhexose found only rarely in the Enterobacteriaceae [1].
This O antigen, which has been shown to be a virulence factor in E. coli, contains colitose, a 3,6-dideoxyhexose found only rarely in the Enterobacteriaceae [2].
Synthesis of colitose-containing oligosaccharide structures found in polysaccharides from Vibrio cholerae O139 synonym Bengal using thioglycoside donors [3].
Structure of a colitose-containing O-specific polysaccharide of the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas tetraodonis IAM 14160(T) [4].

High impact information on Colitose

The Escherichia coli O111 and Salmonella enterica O35 gene clusters: gene clusters encoding the same colitose-containing O antigen are highly conserved [2].
The structure was studied by means of chemical analysis and 2D NMR spectroscopy of the de-O-acylated lipopolysaccharide and shown to be the following:Col is colitose, 3,6-di-deoxy-L-xylo-hexose [5].
The colitose residues were introduced via dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate promoted glycosylations using colitose thioglycosides as glycosyl donors [3].
