  1. 1. Regulation of Heparan Sulfate 6-O-Sulfation Patterns

    Författare :Anh-Tri Do; Marion Kusche-Gullberg; Ulf Lindahl; Malcolm Lyon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Biochemistry; Heparan Sulfate; Biosynthesis; 6-O-sulfation; 6-O-sulfotransferases; 6-O-endosulfatases; Nematostella; Biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Heparan sulfates (HSs) are linear, negatively charged polysaccharides composed of alternating hexuronic acid (glucuronic acid or iduronic acid) and glucosamine residues that can be substituted to varying degrees with sulfate groups. HS, localized in the extracellular matrix and on the surface of most cells, interacts with a large number of proteins. LÄS MER

  3. 2. In Vitro Studies of the Substrate Specificities of Heparan Sulfate 2-O- and 6-O-sulfotransferases

    Författare :Emanuel Smeds; Marion Kusche-Gullberg; Ulf Lindahl; Catherine L. R. Merry; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; heparan sulfate; heparin; sulfotransferase; 2-O-sulfotransferase; 6-O-sulfotransferase; polysaccharide biosynthesis; glycosaminoglycan; O-sulfotransferase; proteoglycan; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Heparan sulfate (HS), a linear negatively charged polysaccharide located at the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix, interacts with, and thereby regulates the functions of numerous proteins. HS-protein interactions depend on the fine structure of HS, especially its sulfation pattern. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Heparan Sulfate Biosynthesis – Clues from Knockout Mice

    Författare :Johan Ledin; Lena Kjellén; John Gallagher; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; heparan sulfate; biosynthesis; gene targeting; embryonic development; proteoglycans; NDST; N-deacetylase N-sulfotransferase; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : In the extracellular space, many specialized proteins are located to support cells and to mediate cell-cell signalling. One class of such molecules is heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans, which are proteins with different properties and locations but all of them decorated with long unbranched HS polysaccharide chains.

  5. 4. Heparan Sulfate and Development : A Study of NDST Deficient Mice and Embryonic Stem Cells

    Författare :Katarina Holmborn; Lena Kjellén; Erik Forsberg; Catherine L. Merry; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; heparan sulfate; proteoglycan; biosynthesis; N-deacetylase N-sulfotransferase; NDST; gene targeting; embryonic development; lung development; mast cells; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans consist of sulfated HS chains covalently bound to core proteins. They are ubiquitously expressed, on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix, throughout the body. LÄS MER
