Repeating motifs of C. neoformans (A) and T. asahii (B) GXMs. The boxed area in B is similar to the serotype A repeating motif of the cryptococcal GXM. Spheres represent mannosyl units; stars represent xylosyl units; diamond-shaped symbols represent glucuronyl units. Drawings of cryptococcal and Trichosporon GXMs were based on previous structural studies (Cherniak et al., 1998; Ichikawa et al., 2001). Structural differences include a higher variability in the type and positions of xylosyl substitutions for the trichosporal polysaccharide, which also shows a higher number of mannosyl units in its repeating motif.
