Interactions between heparan sulfate and proteins: the concept of specificity
Abstract
Proteoglycan (PG) coreceptors carry heparan sulfate (HS) chains that mediate interactions with growth factors, morphogens, and receptors. Thus, PGs modulate fundamental processes such as cell survival, division, adhesion, migration, and differentiation. This review summarizes recent biochemical and genetic information that sheds new light on the nature of HS–protein binding. Unexpectedly, many interactions appear to depend more on the overall organization of HS domains than on their fine structure.

![Figure 2. Biosynthesis of HS and molecular phenotypes resulting from deficient HS biosynthetic enzymes. See Esko and Lindahl (2001) and Hacker et al. (2005). HS chains are synthesized while attached to core protein serine residues through a GlcA-Gal-Gal-Xyl linkage region. The linear HS chain is thereafter polymerized through the action of GlcNAc- and GlcA-transferases belonging to the EXT family and further modified by partial N-deacetylation/N-sulfation (N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase) to yield NS disaccharide units. Consecutive stretches of such units (NS domains) are hotspots for further modifications: a C5 epimerase converts GlcA to IdoA followed by variable O-sulfation at C-3 and C-6 (red circles) of GlcN and at C-2 (yellow circles) of IdoA (and some GlcA) units. Completed chains may be further edited by endo-6-O-sulfatases (Ai et al., 2003). Protein ligands interact with single NS domains (e.g., FGFs) or with NS domains separated by N-acetylated disaccharide residues (SAS domains; illustrated here for VEGF-A165 [Robinson et al., 2006]; and FGF–HS–FGF receptor complexes). The bottom model depicts a molecular phenotype of C5 epimerase−/− HS that lacks IdoA and IdoA 2-O-sulfation but is more extensively N- and 6-O-sulfated than the corresponding wild-type product. The 2-O-sulfotransferase−/− HS is similar to the C5 epimerase−/− polysaccharide except for the presence of IdoA (Merry et al., 2001). HS from C5 epimerase−/− or 2-O-sulfotransferase−/− cells may still interact more or less efficiently with many protein ligands (see Knockout clues from embryology).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
