Abstract Oversulfated chondroitin sulfate H (CS-H) isolated from hagfish notochord is a unique dermatan sulfate consisting mainly of IdoAα1-3GalNAc(4S,6S), where IdoA, GalNAc, 4S and 6S represent L-iduronic acid, N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, 4-O-sulfate and 6-O-sulfate, respectively. Several tetra- and hexasaccharide fractions were isolated from CS-H after partial digestion with bacterial chondroitinase B to investigate the sequential arrangement of the IdoAα1-3GalNAc(4S,6S) unit in the CS-H polysaccharide. A structural analysis of the isolated oligosaccharides by enzymatic digestions, mass spectrometry and 1H NMR spectroscopy demostrated that the major tetrasaccharides shared the common disulfated core structure Δ4,5HexAα1-3GalNAc(4S)β1-4IdoAα1-3GalNAc(4S) with 0 ∼ 3 additional O-sulfate groups, where Δ4,5HexA represents 4-deoxy-α-L-threo-hex-4-enepyranosyluronic acid. The major hexasaccharides shared the common trisulfated core structure Δ4,5HexAα1-3GalNAc(4S)β1-4IdoAα1-3GalNAc(4S)β1-4IdoAα1-3GalNAc(4S) with 1 ∼ 4 additional O-sulfate groups. Some extra sulfate groups in both tetra- and hexasaccharides were located at the C-2 position of a Δ4,5HexA or an internal IdoA residue, or C-6 position of 4-O-sulfated GalNAc residues, forming the unique disulfated or trisulfated disaccharide units, IdoA (2S)-GalNAc(4S), IdoA-GalNAc(4S,6S) and IdoA (2S)-GalNAc(4S,6S), where 2S represents 2-O-sulfate. Of the demonstrated sequences, five tetra- and four hexasaccharide sequences containing these units were novel.
