Combinatorial Roles of Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans and Heparan Sulfates in Caenorhabditis elegans Neural Development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) play critical roles in the development and adult physiology of all metazoan organisms. Most of the known molecular interactions of HSPGs are attributed to the structurally highly complex heparan sulfate (HS) glycans.

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans Biosynthesis and Post Synthesis Mechanisms Combine Few Enzymes and Few Core Proteins to Generate Extensive Structural and Functional Diversity

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Glycosylation is a common and widespread post-translational modification that affects a large majority of proteins. Of these, a small minority, about 20, are specifically modified by the addition of heparan sulfate, a linear polysaccharide from the ...

Wingless, Hedgehog and Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopment, 2004
Several recent papers published in Development challenge some of the previous views published by our group and others that: (1) the Drosophila glypican molecules Dally and Dally-like protein (Dlp) are involved in Wingless (Wg) signaling; and (2) Tout-velu/Ext/Ttv affects Hedgehog (Hh) but not ...

Syndecan-4 knockout leads to reduced extracellular transglutaminase-2 and protects against tubulointerstitial fibrosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Transglutaminase type 2 (TG2) is an extracellular matrix crosslinking enzyme with a pivotal role in kidney fibrosis. The interaction of TG2 with the heparan sulfate proteoglycan syndecan-4 (Sdc4) regulates the cell surface trafficking, localization, and ...

Identification of function-regulating antibodies targeting the receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase sigma ectodomain. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Receptor tyrosine phosphatase sigma (RPTPσ) plays an important role in the regulation of axonal outgrowth and neural regeneration. Recent studies have identified two RPTPσ ligands, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) and heparan sulfate ...

Molecular Modelling of the Complex Polysaccharide Heparan Sulphate [PDF]

open access: yes
Heparan Sulphate plays an important role in many life processes and so an understanding of its role as a universal co-receptor is of great importance. Traditionally oligosaccharides derived from the related molecule heparin have been at the forefront of

An NMR and molecular modelling study on the solution conformation of Heparan Sulphate: new insights into the relationship between structure and function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A deeper insight into the structural biology of HS is key to understanding its nearuniversal functional role as a co-receptor for growth factors and morphogens.
