Shotgun ion mobility mass spectrometry sequencing of heparan sulfate saccharides [PDF]

, 2020
Despite evident regulatory roles of heparan sulfate (HS) saccharides in numerous biological processes, definitive information on the bioactive sequences of these polymers is lacking, with only a handful of natural structures sequenced to date.

Classification and Molecular Functions of Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans and Their Molecular Mechanisms with the Receptor

Biologics
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans are highly glycosylated proteins in which heparan sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan sugar chain, is an acidic sugar chain consisting of a repeating disaccharide structure of glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine is locally ...

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.

The endothelial glycocalyx prefers albumin for evoking shear stress-induced, nitric oxide-mediated coronary dilatation [PDF]

, 2007
Background: Shear stress induces coronary dilatation via production of nitric oxide ( NO). This should involve the endothelial glycocalyx ( EG). A greater effect was expected of albumin versus hydroxyethyl starch ( HES) perfusion, because albumin seals ...

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

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.

Tissue Engineered Human Elastic Cartilage From Primary Auricular Chondrocytes for Ear Reconstruction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Despite over three decades of research, no tissue‐engineered solution for auricular reconstruction in microtia patients has reached clinical translation. The key challenge lies in generating functional elastic cartilage ex vivo. Here, we integrate synergistic cell‐biomaterial strategies to engineer auricular grafts with mechanical and histological ...
