We used negative-ion MALDI-TOF MS to profile intact lipooligosaccharide (LOS) from strains MS11mkA, MS11mkC, FA1090 A23a, and FA1090 1-81-S2. The MS11mkC and 1-81-S2 variants were isolated from male volunteers infected with MS11mkA and A23a, respectively. LOS profiles were obtained after purification using the classical phenol water extraction method and by microwave-enhanced enzymatic digestion, which is more amenable for small-scale work. Despite detecting some differences in the LOS profiles, the same major species were observed, indicating that microwave-enhanced enzymatic digestion is appropriate for MS studies. The compositions determined for MS11mkA and mkC LOS were consistent with previous reports. FA1090 is strongly recognized by mAb 2C7, an antibody-binding LOS with both \u03b1- and \u03b2-chains if the latter is a lactosyl group. The spectra of the A23a and 1-81-S2 FA1090 LOS were similar to each other and consistent with the expression of \u03b1-chain lacto-<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>-neotetraose and \u03b2-chain lactosyl moieties that can both be acceptor sites for sialic acid substitution. 1-81-S2 LOS was analyzed after culture with and without media supplemented with cytidine-5'-monophosphate <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac), which <jats:italic>N. gonorrhoeae<\/jats:italic> needs to sialylate its LOS. LOS sialylation reduces the infectivity of gonococci in men, although it induces serum resistance in serum-sensitive strains and reduces killing by neutrophils and antimicrobial peptides. The infectivity of FA1090 in men is much lower than that of MS11mkC, but the reason for this difference is unclear. Interestingly, some peaks in the spectra of 1-81-S2 LOS after bacterial culture with CMP-Neu5Ac were consistent with disialylation of the LOS, which could be relevant to the reduced infectivity of FA1090 in men and could have implications regarding the phase variation of the LOS and the natural history of infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2023.1215946","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,18]],"date-time":"2023-09-18T05:23:29Z","timestamp":1695014609000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Comparison of lipooligosaccharides from human challenge strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Constance M.","family":"John","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nancy J.","family":"Phillips","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amaris J.","family":"Cardenas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alison K.","family":"Criss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gary A.","family":"Jarvis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"242","DOI":"10.1016\/0076-6879(94)35145-7","article-title":"Isolation and characterization of lipopolysaccharides, lipooligosaccharides, and lipid A","volume":"235","author":"Apicella","year":"1994","journal-title":"Methods Enzymol."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"10872","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.95.18.10872","article-title":"Identification of the gene (lgtG) encoding the lipooligosaccharide \u03b1 chain synthesizing glucosyl transferase from Neisseria gonorrhoeae","volume":"95","author":"Banerjee","year":"1998","journal-title":"Proc.
