TLDR
The results suggest that heparan sulfate abounds at sites of active morphogenesis and that the expression of this glycosaminoglycan is developmentally regulated.Abstract:
Two mAbs that are specific for heparan sulfate-related epitopes have been raised and used to analyze the cellular and tissular distribution of this glycosaminoglycan during development. mAb 10E4 reacts with an epitope that occurs in native heparan sulfate chains and that is destroyed by N-desulfation of the glycosaminoglycan. The antibody does not react with hyaluronate, chondroitin sulfate, or DNA, and reacts only poorly with heparin. The reactivity of proteoglycan extracts or tissue sections with the 10E4 antibody is completely abolished by heparitinase, but is only partially affected by heparinase. mAb 3G10, in contrast, reacts only with heparitinase-treated heparan sulfate chains, proteoglycans, or tissue sections. The 3G10 epitope is destroyed by treatment with mercuric acetate, which indicates that the desaturated uronate generated by the lyase is essential for the reactivity of the antibody. The 3G10 epitope is not generated by treating heparan sulfate proteoglycans with heparinase or chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans with chondroitin sulfate lyases, which indicates that the 3G10 antibody recognizes desaturated uronates that occur in specific structural contexts. The antibody 10E4 and, after heparitinase treatment, the antibody 3G10 decorate the surfaces of many cell types and the extracellular matrix in proximity of the cells, in particular, the basement membranes. The analysis of embryonic and adult tissues reveals important temporal and regional differences in the abundance of the 10E4 and 3G10 epitopes at these sites. Moreover, the staining pattern of the two antibodies is not always superimposable, which is indicative of regional differences in the exposure or structure of the tissular heparan sulfates. As a whole the results suggest that heparan sulfate abounds at sites of active morphogenesis and that the expression of this glycosaminoglycan is developmentally regulated.read more

TL;DR: It is shown that non-phosphorylated recombinant tau iso-forms with three microtubule-binding repeats form paired helical-like filaments under physiological conditions in vitro, when incubated with sulphated glycosaminoglycans such as heparin or heparan sulphate.

Cancer cell exosomes depend on cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans for their internalization and functional activity
TL;DR: It is concluded that cancer cell-derived exosomes use heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) for their internalization and functional activity, which significantly extends the emerging role of HSPGs as key receptors of macromolecular cargo.

TL;DR: It is shown that the transmembrane protein semaphorin 5A (Sema5A) is a bifunctional guidance cue exerting both attractive and inhibitory effects on developing axons of the fasciculus retroflexus, a diencephalon fiber tract associated with limbic function.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that only low pH reaction conditions favor the deamination of N-sulfated D-glucosamine residues; the reaction proceeds very slowly at pH 3.5 or above and at room temperature solutions of nitrous acid lose one-fourth to one-third of their capacity to deaminate amino sugars in 1 h at all pHs.

Chemical modification of proteins: Selected methods and analytical procedures
TL;DR: The abundance of literature on this subject has been disseminated and logically laid out for use in the laboratory and presents information on chemical characterization of proteins and their derivatives; modification of protein side-chains: group-specific reagents; site-specific modification of native proteins with group- specific reagents.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that removal of heparan sulfate (but not other GAG) leads to a dramatic increase in the permeability of the GBM to NF.
