A sulfatide, O-fatty-acylated 3-sulfogalactosylceramide at C6-O on galactoside, was isolated from equine brain and the chemical structure was characterized by proton NMR and MS. The O-acylation site of the acylated sulfatide was determined by the down-field shift of protons attached to a carbon having an O-acyl group in the NMR spectrum and by analysis of a partially methylated derivative before and after acetalization of the intact sulfatide using GC-MS. The O-acyl chain length was determined by GLC, revealing that it exclusively had palmitoyl and stearoyl residues as the major fatty acids. The enzymatic conversion to the O-acyl sulfatide was further examined using equine brain microsomes as an enzyme source and different lipid substrates, resulting in O-acylation of 3-sulfogalactosylceramide from stearoyl CoA, while 6-O-acyl galactosylceramide was not O-sulfated from phosphoadenosine phosphosulfate. The results were supported by the comparably different N-linked fatty acid components between two lipid substrates, in which the component of 6-O-acyl sulfatide was mostly similar to that of sulfatide, but not to 6-O-acyl galactosylceramide.
