BookDOI
Glycosylated matrix protein
TL;DR: This chapter focuses on cartilage and bone, covering many aspects of connective tissues, and gives special focus to the noncollagenous proteins in their matrices.
Journal ArticleDOI
The C-type lectin domains of lecticans, a family of aggregating chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, bind tenascin-R by protein-protein interactions independent of carbohydrate moiety.
Anders Aspberg,Ryu Miura,Sandrine Bourdoulous,Motoyuki Shimonaka,Dick Heinegård,Melitta Schachner,Erkki Ruoslahti,Yu Yamaguchi +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the C-type lectin domain can interact with fibronectin type III domains through protein-protein interactions, and suggest that brevican is a physiological tenascin-R ligand in the adult brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and characterization of asporin. a novel member of the leucine-rich repeat protein family closely related to decorin and biglycan.
Pilar Lorenzo,Anders Aspberg,Patrik Önnerfjord,Michael T. Bayliss,Peter J. Neame,Dick Heinegård +5 more
TL;DR: The deduced amino acid sequence of asporin was confirmed by mass spectrometry of the isolated protein resulting in 84% sequence coverage and reflects the aspartate-rich amino terminus and the overall similarity to decorin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Versican interacts with fibrillin-1 and links extracellular microfibrils to other connective tissue networks
Zenzo Isogai,Anders Aspberg,Douglas R. Keene,Robert N. Ono,Dieter P. Reinhardt,Lynn Y. Sakai +5 more
TL;DR: Electro microscopic immunolocalization of anti-versican antibodies in tissues and in extracted microfibrils demonstrated that the C-terminal region of versican is found associated with fibrillin microfibils, suggesting that the versican C terminus is covalently bound to microFibrils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fibulin-1 is a ligand for the C-type lectin domains of aggrecan and versican.
TL;DR: It is reported that a 90-kDa protein copurifies with recombinant lectin domains from aggrecan and versican, but not from the brain-specific neurocan and brevican, although the interactions with fibulin-1 are Ca2+-dependent, withK D values in the low nanomolar range.
