Isolation, N-glycosylations and Function of a Hyaluronidase-Like Enzyme from the Venom of the Spider Cupiennius salei. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Hyaluronidases are important venom components acting as spreading factor of toxic compounds. In several studies this spreading effect was tested on vertebrate tissue. However, data about the spreading activity on invertebrates, the main prey organisms of

Identification and Action Patterns of Two Chondroitin Sulfate Sulfatases From a Marine Bacterium Photobacterium sp. QA16

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Chondroitin sulfate (CS)/dermatan sulfate (DS) is a kind of sulfated polyanionic, linear polysaccharide belonging to glycosaminoglycan. CS/DS sulfatases, which specifically hydrolyze sulfate groups from CS/DS oligo-/polysaccharides, are potential tools ...

R17 Drives Heparan Sulfate Clearance via Endolysosomal Trafficking

open access: yesIsrael Journal of Chemistry, Volume 66, Issue 4, July 2026.
R17 is a viral protein that binds heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans and traffics them to the lysosome, leading to their degradation in a manner that does not require the presence of the cation‐independent mannose‐6‐phosphatre receptor. In BxPC3 pancreatic cancer cells, this loss in heparan sulfate results in the reduction of cell migration.

Collagens and proteoglycans of the corneal extracellular matrix

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2003
The cornea is a curved and transparent structure that provides the initial focusing of a light image into the eye. It consists of a central stroma that constitutes 90% of the corneal depth, covered anteriorly with epithelium and posteriorly with ...

Patients With B3GALT6‐Linkeropathies Display Sialylated Disaccharides as Truncated Glycosaminoglycan Linkage Regions of Specific Core Proteins

open access: yesProteoglycan Research, Volume 4, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The Ehlers–Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of heritable connective tissue disorders, characterized by varying degrees of joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility and extracellular matrix defects. Spondylodysplastic type of EDS (spEDS) is a rare type of this group that can be caused by pathogenic variants in the B3GALT6 gene, coding for ...

Immunocytochemical investigation on the distribution of small chondroitin sulfate-dermatan sulfate proteoglycan in the human. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Polyclonal antibodies against the core protein of the small chondroitin sulfate-dermatan sulfate proteoglycan from human skin fibroblast secretions were used, after affinity-purification, as a probe to study localization of crossreactive material in ...

Engineering of Substrate-Binding Domain to Improve Catalytic Activity of Chondroitin B Lyase with Semi-Rational Design

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology
Dermatan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are dietary supplements that can be utilized as prophylactics against thrombus formation. Low-molecular-weight dermatan sulfate (LMWDS) is particularly advantageous due to its high absorbability.

Dermatan sulfate reduces monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 and TGF-β production, as well as macrophage recruitment and myofibroblast accumulation in mice with unilateral ureteral obstruction

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2011
Selectins play an essential role in most inflammatory reactions, mediating the initial leukocyte-rolling event on activated endothelium. Heparin and dermatan sulfate (DS) bind and block P- and L-selectin function in vitro.

Endothelial glycocalyx degradation during sepsis: Causes and consequences

open access: yesMatrix Biology Plus, 2021
The glycocalyx is a ubiquitous structure found on endothelial cells that extends into the vascular lumen. It is enriched in proteoglycans, which are proteins attached to the glycosaminoglycans heparan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate ...
