Oligogalacturonides [oligomers composed of (1-->4)-linked alpha-D-galactosyluronic acid residues] with degrees of polymerization (DP) from 1 to 10, and a tri-, penta-, and heptasaccharide generated from the backbone of rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I) were labeled at their reducing ends using aqueous 2-aminobenzamide (2AB) in the presence of sodium cyanoborohydride in over 90% yield. These derivatives were analyzed by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) and structurally characterized by electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS) and by H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. The 2AB-labeled oligogalacturonides and RG-I oligomers are fragmented by endo- and exo-polygalacturonase and by Driselase, respectively. 2AB-labeled oligogalacturonide is an exogenous acceptor for galacturonosyltransferase of transferring galacturonic acid from UDP-GalA. Thus, the 2AB-labeled oligogalacturonides and RG-I oligomers are useful for studying enzymes involved in pectin degradation and biosynthesis and may be of value in determining the biological functions of pectic fragments in plants.
