Functional Organization of the Sortilin Vps10p Domain
Uffe B. Westergaard,Esben S. Sørensen,Guido Hermey,Morten Nielsen,Anders Nykjaer,Kirstine Kirkegaard,Christian Jacobsen,Jørgen Gliemann,Peder Madsen,Claus Munck Petersen +9 more
TL;DR: The 10CC segment constitutes an exchangeable module containing five conserved disulfide bridges, and using module-shuffling and truncations, it is shown that the 10 CC segment is a major ligand-binding region in Sortilin.
Journal ArticleDOI
SorCS1, a member of the novel sorting receptor family, is localized in somata and dendrites of neurons throughout the murine brain.
Guido Hermey,I.Björn Riedel,Meriem Rezgaoui,Uffe B. Westergaard,Chica Schaller,Irm Hermans-Borgmeyer +5 more
TL;DR: A detailed mapping revealed a distribution of sor CS1 immunoreactivity in a widespread population of neurons throughout the brain, which suggests variable functions for sorCS1 in the neurons of the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
SorCS3 does not require propeptide cleavage to bind nerve growth factor
Uffe B. Westergaard,Kirstine Kirkegaard,Esben S. Sørensen,Christian Jacobsen,Morten Nielsen,Claus Munck Petersen,Peder Madsen +6 more
TL;DR: SorCS3 as discussed by the authors was synthesized as a proprotein and converted to its mature form by N-terminal propeptide cleavage in distal Golgi compartments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tetranectin binds hepatocyte growth factor and tissue-type plasminogen activator
Uffe B. Westergaard,Mikkel Holmen Andersen,Christian W. Heegaard,Sergey N. Fedosov,Torben E. Petersen +4 more
TL;DR: The study revealed that tetranectin did not interact with the kindred proteins: macrophage-stimulating protein, urokinase-type plasminogen activator and prothrombin, and a kinetic analysis of the tPA-catalysed plAsminogen activation was performed.
