Abstract

The D ‐glucuronyltransferase and N ‐acetyl‐ D ‐glucosaminyltransferase reactions in heparan sulfate biosynthesis have been associated with two genes, EXT1 and EXT2 , which are also implicated in the inherited bone disorder, multiple exostoses. Since the cell systems used to express recombinant EXT proteins synthesize endogenous heparan sulfate, and the EXT proteins tend to associate, it has not been possible to define the functional roles of the individual protein species. We therefore expressed EXT1 and EXT2 in yeast, which does not synthesize heparan sulfate. The recombinant EXT1 and EXT2 were both found to catalyze both glycosyltransferase reactions in vitro . Coexpression of the two proteins, but not mixing of separately expressed recombinant EXT1 and EXT2, yields hetero‐oligomeric complexes in yeast and mammalian cells, with augmented glycosyltransferase activities. This stimulation does not depend on the membrane‐bound state of the proteins.

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.
