Evolutionary dynamics of heparan sulfate utilization by SARS-CoV-2

mBio
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variants have acquired enhanced infectivity compared to earlier variants. To elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms, we conducted CRISPR library screening to identify cell ...

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans and cancer [PDF]

British Journal of Cancer, 2001
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are widely distributed in mammalian tissues and involved in a number of processes related to malignancy. They are composed of a core protein to which chains of the glycosaminoglycan, heparan sulfate (HS), are attached.

EXT proteins: Role in heparan sulfate Assembly and in Tumor biology [PDF]

, 2018
The exostosin family of proteins is necessary for heparan sulfate biosynthesis. Heparan sulfate polysaccharide biosynthesis is one of several different forms of proteinglycosylation processes that take place in the Golgi apparatus.

Development of new heparin-like compounds and other antithrombotic drugs and their interaction with vascular endothelial cells

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
The anticlotting and antithrombotic activities of heparin, heparan sulfate, low molecular weight heparins, heparin and heparin-like compounds from various sources used in clinical practice or under development are briefly reviewed.

Research Note: Effect of selection for body weight on the adipogenic conversion of turkey myogenic satellite cells by Syndecan-4 and its covalently attached N-glycosylation chains

Poultry Science, 2020
: Adult myoblasts, satellite cells, will proliferate, and differentiate into myotubes in vitro. However, changes in environmental and nutritional conditions will result in the satellite cells differentiating into adipocyte-like cells synthesizing lipids.

Altered heparan sulfate metabolism during development triggers dopamine-dependent autistic-behaviours in models of lysosomal storage disorders

Nature Communications, 2021
Lysosomal storage disorders, characterized by altered metabolism of heparan sulfate, cause autistic symptoms followed by dementia in children. Here, the authors show that embryonic dopaminergic neurodevelopmental defects due to altered function of ...

Protease, Growth Factor, and Heparanase-Mediated Syndecan-1 Shedding Leads to Enhanced HSV-1 Egress

Viruses, 2021
Heparan sulfate (HS) and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are considered important for the entry of many different viruses. Previously, we demonstrated that heparanase (HPSE), the host enzyme responsible for cleaving HS chains, is upregulated by ...

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans and Their Endogenous Modifying Enzymes: Cancer Players, Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets

, 2020
In recent decades, evidence has accumulated implicating heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) in tumor initiation and progression. Ubiquitously present at the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix, HSPGs are composed of a protein core with ...

Heparan Sulfate Biosynthesis in Zebrafish [PDF]

Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 2020
The biosynthesis of heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans occurs in the Golgi compartment of cells and will determine the sulfation pattern of HS chains, which in turn will have a large impact on the biological activity of the proteoglycans. Earlier studies in mice have demonstrated the importance of HS for embryonic development.
