    Abstract
    A pectic polysaccharide (WAP) was isolated from squash and identified as a homogalacturonan with a molecular mass of 83.2 kDa by GPC, monosaccharide composition analysis, FT-IR and NMR spectra. Sulfation modification of WAP was carried out and a sulfated derivative (SWAP) was obtained with a substitution degree of 1.81. The NMR spectrum indicated that the sulfation modification mainly occurred at the C-2 and C-3 positions of galacturonan residues. The binding pattern of SWAP to tau K18 protein was observed in 2D 1Hsingle bond15N HSQC spectra of tau, which resembled the tau-heparin interaction, with R2 domain as the major binding region. These results suggest that SWAP has the potential to act as a heparin mimic to inhibit the transcellular spread of tau; thus natural polysaccharide from squash may be developed into therapies for AD and related tauopathies.;
