Inhibition of Heparan Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan Biosynthesis [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2008
Proteoglycans (PGs) are composed of a protein moiety and a complex glycosaminoglycan (GAG) polysaccharide moiety. GAG chains are responsible for various biological activities. GAG chains are covalently attached to serine residues of the core protein. The first step in PG biosynthesis is xylosylation of certain serine residues of the core protein.

Proteoglycans act as cellular hepatitis delta virus attachment receptors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a small, defective RNA virus that requires the presence of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) for its life cycle. Worldwide more than 15 million people are co-infected with HBV and HDV.

Cell adhesion and signaling on the fibronectin 1^st type III repeat; requisite roles for cell surface proteoglycans and integrins

BMC Cell Biology, 2001
Background The first type III repeat of fibronectin is known to be involved in fibronectin matrix assembly, and recombinant proteins from this type III repeat can inhibit cell proliferation, tumor metastasis and angiogenesis. We have analyzed the way rat

Developmental roles of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in Drosophila [PDF]

Glycoconjugate Journal, 2002
The formation of complex patterns in multi-cellular organisms is regulated by a number of signaling pathways. In particular, the Wnt and Hedgehog (Hh) pathways have been identified as critical organizers of pattern in many tissues. Although extensive biochemical and genetic studies have elucidated the central components of the signal transduction ...

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 ...

MASP-2 Is a Heparin-Binding Protease; Identification of Blocking Oligosaccharides

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
It is well-known that heparin and other glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) inhibit complement activation. It is however not known whether fractionation and/or modification of GAGs might deliver pathway-specific inhibition of the complement system.

Altered distribution of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in psoriasis. [PDF]

Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 1997
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are components of the basement membrane (BM) of various tissues. They consist of a core protein and negatively charged glycosaminoglycan side chains: the heparan sulfate (HS) moieties. In psoriasis, uninvolved skin of psoriasis patients and in normal skin, the distribution of HSPGs was studied immunohistochemically

Patient‐Derived 3D Heart‐On‐a‐Chip Model of Dilated Cardiomyopathy With Embedded Bead‐Based Mapping of Tissue Contractility

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A heart‐on‐a‐chip model of dilated cardiomyopathy is developed from patient‐derived induced pluripotent stem cells. The model recapitulates key disease phenotypes and enables functional assessment through integrated bead‐based tracking and pillar deflection measurements.

Glypican-1, Phosphacan/Receptor Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase-ζ/β and its Ligand, Tenascin-C, are Expressed by Neural Stem Cells and Neural Cells Derived from Embryonic Stem Cells

ASN Neuro, 2010
The heparan sulfate proteoglycan glypican-1, the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan phosphacan/RPTP (receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase)-ζ/β and the extracellular matrix protein tenascin-C were all found to be expressed by neural stem cells and by ...
