A simple panning procedure that allows for the evaluation of interactions between various heparin-like molecules and basic FGF has been developed. This assay measures the ability of compounds to inhibit the interaction of transfected human lymphoblastoid cells, UC 729-6 (UC cells), expressing hamster syndecan and basic FGF-coated plastic plates. The transfected cells bind rapidly to basic FGF-coated plates while the control cells do not bind well. Binding of the transfected cells to basic FGF was inhibited by heparin and heparin sulfate (HS), but not by chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate, and hyaluronic acid. There was little inhibition of binding by chemically modified heparin such as completely desulfated, N-acetylated heparin, completely desulfated, N-sulfated heparin, and N-desulfated, N-acetylated heparin. These results suggested that both the N-sulfate and O-sulfate groups of heparin are required for binding to basic FGF. In addition, inhibition by oligosaccharides derived from depolymerized heparin increased with fragment size; partial inhibition was observed with oligosaccharides as small as hexamers. The biochemical basis for the binding of transfected cells to basic FGF was established by showing a significant increase of 35SO4 incorporation into HS. In particular, the level of 35SO4-HS in the trypsin-releasable (cell surface) pool increased fivefold. This increase was accounted for by demonstration of the presence of HS on immunoprecipitated syndecan from the transfected cells. 相似文献

Heparan sulfate, one of the most abundant components of the cell surface and the extracellular matrix, is involved in a variety of biological processes such as growth factor signaling, cell adhesion, and enzymatic catalysis. The heparan sulfate chains have markedly heterogeneous structures in which distinct sequences of sulfate groups determine specific binding properties. Sulfation at each different position of heparan sulfate is catalyzed by distinct enzymes, sulfotransferases. In this study, we identified and characterized Drosophila heparan sulfate 6-O-sulfotransferase (dHS6ST). The deduced primary structure of dHS6ST exhibited several common features found in those of mammalian HS6STs. We confirmed that, when the protein encoded by the cDNA was expressed in COS-7 cells, it showed HS6ST activity. Whole mount in situ hybridization revealed highly specific expression of dHS6ST mRNA in embryonic tracheal cells. The spatial and temporal pattern of dHS6ST expression in these cells clearly resembles that of the Drosophila fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor, breathless (btl). RNA interference experiments demonstrated that reduced dHS6ST activity caused embryonic lethality and disruption of the primary branching of the tracheal system. These phenotypes were reminiscent of the defects observed in mutants of FGF signaling components. We also show that FGF-dependent mitogen-activated protein kinase activation is significantly reduced in dHS6ST double-stranded RNA-injected embryos. These findings indicate that dHS6ST is required for tracheal development in Drosophila and suggest the evolutionally conserved roles of 6-O-sulfated heparan sulfate in FGF signaling. 相似文献

Human basement membrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) perlecan binds and activates fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 through its heparan sulfate (HS) chains. Here we show that perlecans immunopurified from three cellular sources possess different HS structures and subsequently different FGF-2 binding and activating capabilities. Perlecan isolated from human umbilical arterial endothelial cells (HUAEC) and a continuous endothelial cell line (C11 STH) bound similar amounts of FGF-2 either alone or complexed with FGFRalpha1-IIIc or FGFR3alpha-IIIc. Both perlecans stimulated the growth of BaF3 cell lines expressing FGFR1b/c; however, only HUAEC perlecan stimulated those cells expressing FGFR3c, suggesting that the source of perlecan confers FGF and FGFR binding specificity. Despite these differences in FGF-2 activation, the level of 2-O- and 6-O-sulfation was similar for both perlecans. Interestingly, perlecan isolated from a colon carcinoma cell line that was capable of binding FGF-2 was incapable of activating any BaF3 cell line unless the HS was removed from the protein core. The HS chains also exhibited greater bioactivity after digestion with heparinase III. Collectively, these data clearly demonstrate that the bioactivity of HS decorating a single PG is dependent on its cell source and that subtle changes in structure including secondary interactions have a profound effect on biological activity. 相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) regulates endothelial and melanoma cell migration. The binding of FGF2 to its receptor requires N‐sulfated heparan sulfate (HS) glycosamine. We have previously reported that Epac1, an exchange protein activated by cAMP, increases N‐sulfation of HS in melanoma. Therefore, we examined whether Epac1 regulates FGF2‐mediated cell–cell communication. Conditioned medium (CM) of melanoma cells with abundant expression of Epac1 increased migration of human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVEC) and melanoma cells with poor expression of Epac1. CM‐induced increase in migration was inhibited by antagonizing FGF2, by the removal of HS and by the knockdown of Epac1. In addition, knockdown of Epac1 suppressed the binding of FGF2 to FGF receptor in HUVEC, and in vivo angiogenesis in melanoma. Furthermore, knockdown of Epac1 reduced N‐sulfation of HS chains attached to perlecan, a major secreted type of HS proteoglycan that mediates the binding of FGF2 to FGF receptor. These data suggested that Epac1 in melanoma cells regulates melanoma progression via the HS–FGF2‐mediated cell–cell communication. 相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 regulates chondrocyte proliferation in the growth plate. Heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans bind FGF-2. Perlecan, a heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) in the developing growth plate, however, contains both HS and chondroitin sulfate (CS) chains. The binding of FGF-2 to perlecan isolated from the growth plate was evaluated using cationic filtration (CAF) and immunoprecipitation (IP) assays. FGF-2 bound to perlecan in both the CAF and IP assays primarily via the HS chains on perlecan. A maximum of 123 molecules of FGF-2 was calculated to bind per molecule of perlecan. When digested with chondroitinase ABC to remove its CS chains, perlecan augmented binding of FGF-2 to the FGFR-1 and FGFR-3 receptors and also increased FGF-2 stimulation of [(3)H]-thymidine incorporation in BaF3 cells expressing these FGF receptors. These data show that growth plate perlecan binds to FGF-2 by its HS chains but can only deliver FGF-2 to FGF receptors when its CS chains are removed. 相似文献

The role of heparin and heparan sulfate in the binding and signaling of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) has been subject to intense investigation, but the studies have largely been confined to two species (FGF1 and FGF2) of the family with approximately 20 members. We have investigated the structural requirements for heparin/heparan sulfate in binding and activation of FGF8 (splice variant b). We present evidence that the minimal FGF8b-binding saccharide domain encompasses 5-7 monosaccharide units. The N-, 2-O-, and 6-O-sulfate substituents of heparin/heparan sulfate (HS) are all involved in the interaction, preferentially in the form of trisulfated IdoUA(2-OSO(3))-GlcNSO(3)(6-OSO(3)) disaccharide constituents. These structural characteristics resemble those described earlier for FGF1. By contrast, the saccharide structures required for the biological activity of FGF8b differed significantly from those characteristic for FGF1 and FGF2. Experiments with cells lacking active HS indicated that extended >/=14-mer heparin domains were needed to enhance cell proliferation and Erk phosphorylation by FGF8b, whereas in cells stimulated with FGF1 or FGF2 the corresponding responses were achieved by much shorter, 6-8-mer, oligosaccharides. Furthermore, still longer domains were needed to activate FGF8b in cells with "non-optimal" FGF receptor expression. Collectively, our data suggest that the heparin/HS structures enhancing the biological activity of FGFs were influenced by the FGF species involved as well as by the cellular composition of FGF receptors. 相似文献

Division abnormally delayed (Dally) is one of two glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked heparan sulfate proteoglycans in Drosophila. Numerous studies have shown that it influences Decapentaplegic (Dpp) and Wingless signaling. It has been generally assumed that Dally affects signaling by directly interacting with these growth factors, primarily through its heparan sulfate (HS) chains. To understand the functional contributions of HS chains and protein core we have (1) assessed the growth factor binding properties of purified Dally using surface plasmon resonance, (2) generated a form of Dally that is not HS modified and evaluated its signaling capacity in vivo. Purified Dally binds directly to FGF2, FGF10, and the functional Dpp homolog BMP4. FGF binding is abolished by preincubation with HS, but BMP4 association is partially HS-resistant, suggesting the Dally protein core contributes to binding. Cell binding and co-immunoprecipitation studies suggest that non-HS-modified Dally retains some ability to bind Dpp or BMP4. Expression of HS-deficient Dally in vivo showed it does not promote signaling as well as wild-type Dally, yet it can rescue several dally mutant phenotypes. These data reveal that heparan sulfate modification of Dally is not required for all in vivo activities and that significant functional capacity resides in the protein core. 相似文献

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) are obligatory for receptor binding and mitogenic activity of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Mutant Chinese hamster ovary cells (pgsA-745) deficient in xylosyltransferase are unable to initiate glycosaminoglycan synthesis and hence can not bind bFGF to low- and high-affinity cell surface receptors. Exposure of pgsA-745 cells to β-D-xylopyranosides containing hydrophobic aglycones resulted in restoration of bFGF binding in a manner similar to that induced by soluble heparin or by heparan sulfate (HS) normally associated with cell sulfate. Restoration of bFGF binding correlated with the ability of the β-D-xylosides to prime the synthesis of heparan sulfate. Thus, both heparan sulfate synthesis and bFGF receptor binding were induced by low concentrations (10–30 μM) of estradiol-β-D-xyloside and naphthyl-β-D-xyloside, but not by cis/trans-decahydro-2-naphthyl-β-D-xyloside, which at low concentration primes mainly chondroitin sulfate. The obligatory involvement of xyloside-primed heparan sulfate in restoration of bFGF-receptor binding was also demonstrated by its sensitivity to heparinase treatment and by the lack of restoration activity in CHO cell mutants that lack enzymatic activities required to form the repeating disaccharide unit characteristic of heparan sulfate. Xyloside-primed heparan sulfate binds to the cell surface. Restoration of bFGF receptor binding was induced by both soluble and cell bound xyloside-primed heparan sulfate and was abolished in cells that were exposed to 0.5–1.0 M NaCl prior to the bFGF binding reaction. These results indicate that heparan sulfate chains produced on xyloside primers behave like heparan sulfate chains attached to cellular core proteins in terms of affinity for bFGF and ability to function as low-affinity sites in a dual receptor mechanism characteristic of bFGF and other heparin-binding growth promoting factors. 相似文献

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans on the cell surface act as low affinity binding sites for acidic and basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) [Moscatelli (1887): J Cell Physiol 131:123–130] and play an important role in the interaction of FGF with the FGF receptor (FGFR). In this study, several aspects of the interaction of FGFs with cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans were examined. Reciprocal cross blocking studies demonstrated that acidic FGF (aFGF) and basic FGF (bFGF) bind to identical or closely associated heparan sulfate motifs on BALB/c 3T3 cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans. However, the binding affinity of the two growth factros for these heparan sulfate proteoglycans differs considerably, competition binding data indicating that aFGF has a 4.7-fold lower affinity than bFGF for 3T3 heparan sulfate proteoglycan. Subsequent studies of dissociation kinetics demonstrated that bFGF dissociates form the FGFR at least 10-fold slower than aFGF, whereas, following removal of cell surface heparan sulfate proteoplycan. Subsequent studies of dissociation kinetic demonstrated that bFGF dissociates from the FGFR at least 10-fold slwer than aFGF, whereas, following removal of cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans by heparinase treatment, the dissociation rate of both FGFs is similar and rapid. These results support the concept that cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans stabilize the interactio fo FGF with FGFR, possibly by the formatin of a ternary complex. © Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The range of biological outcomes generated by many signalling proteins in development and homeostasis is increased by their interactions with glycosaminoglycans, particularly heparan sulfate (HS). This interaction controls the localization and movement of these signalling proteins, but whether such control depends on the specificity of the interactions is not known. We used five fibroblast growth factors with an N-terminal HaloTag (Halo-FGFs) for fluorescent labelling, with well-characterized and distinct HS-binding properties, and measured their binding and diffusion in pericellular matrix of fixed rat mammary 27 fibroblasts. Halo-FGF1, Halo-FGF2 and Halo-FGF6 bound to HS, whereas Halo-FGF10 also interacted with chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate, and FGF20 did not bind detectably. The distribution of bound FGFs in the pericellular matrix was not homogeneous, and for FGF10 exhibited striking clusters. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching showed that FGF2 and FGF6 diffused faster, whereas FGF1 diffused more slowly, and FGF10 was immobile. The results demonstrate that the specificity of the interactions of proteins with glycosaminoglycans controls their binding and diffusion. Moreover, cells regulate the spatial distribution of different protein-binding sites in glycosaminoglycans independently of each other, implying that the extracellular matrix has long-range structure. 相似文献

Heparan sulfate, an extensively sulfated glycosaminoglycan abundant on cell surface proteoglycans, regulates intercellular signaling through its binding to various growth factors and receptors. In the lacrimal gland, branching morphogenesis depends on the interaction of heparan sulfate with Fgf10-Fgfr2b. To address if lacrimal gland development and FGF signaling depends on 2-O-sulfation of uronic acids and 6-O-sulfation of glucosamine residues, we genetically ablated heparan sulfate 2-O and 6-O sulfotransferases (Hs2st, Hs6st1, and Hs6st2) in developing lacrimal gland. Using a panel of phage display antibodies, we confirmed that these mutations disrupted 2-O and/or 6-O but not N-sulfation of heparan sulfate. The Hs6st mutants exhibited significant lacrimal gland hypoplasia and a strong genetic interaction with Fgf10, demonstrating the importance of heparan sulfate 6-O sulfation in lacrimal gland FGF signaling. Altering Hs2st caused a much less severe phenotype, but the Hs2st;Hs6st double mutants completely abolished lacrimal gland development, suggesting that both 2-O and 6-O sulfation of heparan sulfate contribute to FGF signaling. Combined Hs2st;Hs6st deficiency synergistically disrupted the formation of Fgf10-Fgfr2b-heparan sulfate complex on the cell surface and prevented lacrimal gland induction by Fgf10 in explant cultures. Importantly, the Hs2st;Hs6st double mutants abrogated FGF downstream ERK signaling. Therefore, Fgf10-Fgfr2b signaling during lacrimal gland development is sensitive to the content or arrangement of O-sulfate groups in heparan sulfate. To our knowledge, this is the first study to show that simultaneous deletion of Hs2st and Hs6st exhibits profound FGF signaling defects in mammalian development. 相似文献

The role of cell surface heparan sulfate in herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection was investigated using CHO cell mutants defective in various aspects of glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Binding of radiolabeled virus to the cells and infection were assessed in mutant and wild-type cells. Virus bound efficiently to wild-type cells and initiated an abortive infection in which immediate-early or alpha viral genes were expressed, despite limited production of late viral proteins and progeny virus. Binding of virus to heparan sulfate-deficient mutant cells was severely impaired and mutant cells were resistant to HSV infection. Intermediate levels of binding and infection were observed for a CHO cell mutant that produced undersulfated heparan sulfate. These results show that heparan sulfate moieties of cell surface proteoglycans serve as receptors for HSV. 相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor-4 (FGF4), like other FGFs, shares a high affinity for the anionic glycosaminoglycans heparin and heparan sulfate (HS), which in turn enhance FGF-receptor (FGFR) binding and activation. Here we demonstrate using a cell free system that, at low concentrations of heparin, FGF4 binds only to FGFR-2, while much higher heparin levels are required for binding to FGFR-1. Chemical crosslinking of radiolabeled FGF4 to the soluble FGF receptors confirms the preferential formation of FGF4-FGFR-2 complexes under restricted heparin availability, with maximal ligand-receptor interactions at almost 20-fold lower heparin concentrations then those required for the affinity labeling of FGFR-1. In accordance, HS-deficient cells expressing FGFR-2 proliferate in response to FGF4 at extremely low exogenous heparin concentrations, while FGFR-1 expressing cells are completely unresponsive under the same conditions. We suggest that FGFR-2 is the preferred receptor for FGF4 under restricted HS conditions and that the bioavailability of structurally distinct HS motifs may differentially control receptor specificity of FGF4 in vivo. 相似文献

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) require heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) as cofactors for signaling. The heparan sulfate chains (HS) mediate stable high affinity binding of FGFs to their receptor tyrosine kinases (FR) and may specifically regulate FGF activity. A novel in situ binding assay was developed to examine the ability of HSPGs to promote FGF/FR binding using a soluble FR fusion construct (FR1-AP). This fusion protein probe forms a dimer in solution, simulating the dimerization or oligomerization that is thought to occur at the cell surface physiologically. In frozen sections of human skin, FGF-2 binds to keratinocytes and basement membranes of epidermis and dermal blood vessels. In contrast, in skin preincubated with FGF-2, FR1-AP binds avidly to FGF-2 immobilized on keratinocyte cell surfaces, but fails to bind to basement membranes at the dermo-epidermal junction or dermal microvessels despite the fact that these structures bind large amounts of FGF-2. Apparently, basement membrane and cell surface HSPGs differ in their ability to mediate the assembly of a FGF/FR signaling complex presumably due to structural differences of the heparan sulfate chains. 相似文献

Basic fibroblast growth factor binds to subendothelial extracellular matrix and is released by heparitinase and heparin-like molecules 总被引:44,自引:0,他引:44
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) exhibits specific binding to the extracellular matrix (ECM) produced by cultured endothelial cells. Binding was saturable as a function both of time and of concentration of 125I-bFGF. Scatchard analysis of FGF binding revealed the presence of about 1.5 X 10(12) binding sites/mm2 ECM with an apparent kD of 610nM. FGF binds to heparan sulfate (HS) in ECM as evidenced by (i) inhibition of binding in the presence of heparin or HS at 0.1-1 micrograms/mL, but not by chondroitin sulfate, keratan sulfate, or hyaluronic acid at 10 micrograms/mL, (ii) lack of binding to ECM pretreated with heparitinase, but not with chondroitinase ABC, and (iii) rapid release of up to 90% of ECM-bound FGF by exposure to heparin, HS, or heparitinase, but not to chondroitin sulfate, keratan sulfate, hyaluronic acid, or chondroitinase ABC. Oligosaccharides derived from depolymerized heparin, and as small as the tetrasaccharide, released the ECM-bound FGF, but there was little or no release of FGF by modified nonanticoagulant heparins such as totally desulfated heparin, N-desulfated heparin, and N-acetylated heparin. FGF released from ECM was biologically active, as indicated by its stimulation of cell proliferation and DNA synthesis in vascular endothelial cells and 3T3 fibroblasts. Similar results were obtained in studies on release of endogenous FGF-like mitogenic activity from Descemet's membranes of bovine corneas. It is suggested that ECM storage and release of bFGF provide a novel mechanism for regulation of capillary blood vessel growth. Whereas ECM-bound FGF may be prevented from acting on endothelial cells, its displacement by heparin-like molecules and/or HS-degrading enzymes may elicit a neovascular response. 相似文献

We have proposed a model in which fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signalling requires the interaction of FGF with at least two FGF receptors, a heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) and a tyrosine kinase. Since FGF may be a key mediator of skeletal muscle differentiation, we examined the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans in MM14 skeletal muscle myoblasts and their participation in FGF signalling. Proliferating and differentiated MM14 cells exhibit similar levels of HSPG, while differentiated cells exhibit reduced levels of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans and heparan sulfate chains. HSPGs, including syndecan, present in proliferating cells bind bFGF, while the majority of chondroitin sulfate and heparan sulfate chains do not. Treatment of skeletal muscle cells with chlorate, a reversible inhibitor of glycosaminoglycan sulfation, was used to examine the requirement of sulfated proteoglycans for FGF signalling. Chlorate treatment reduced glycosaminoglycan sulfation by 90% and binding of FGF to high affinity sites by 80%. Chlorate treatment of MM14 myoblasts abrogated the biological activity of acidic, basic, and Kaposi's sarcoma FGFs resulting in terminal differentiation. Chlorate inhibition of FGF signalling was reversed by the simultaneous addition of sodium sulfate or heparin. Further support for a direct role of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in fibroblast growth factor signal transduction was demonstrated by the ability of heparitinase to inhibit basic FGF binding and biological activity. These results suggest that activation of FGF receptors by acidic, basic or Kaposi's sarcoma FGF requires simultaneous binding to a HSPG and the tyrosine kinase receptor. Skeletal muscle differentiation in vivo may be dependent on FGFs, FGF tyrosine kinase receptors, and HSPGs. The regulation of these molecules may then be expected to have important implications for skeletal muscle development and regeneration. 相似文献

Sulfate transport-deficient mutants of Chinese hamster ovary cells. Sulfation of glycosaminoglycans dependent on cysteine 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

We isolated 59 Chinese hamster ovary cell mutants defective in 35SO4 incorporation into glycosaminoglycans. Thirty-five mutants incorporated [6-3H]glucosamine into glycosaminoglycans normally, suggesting that they were specifically impaired in sulfate incorporation. Cell hybridization studies revealed that the 35 mutants defined a unique complementation group. Pulse-labeling one of the mutants with 35SO4 showed that it possessed a defect in a saturable, 4-acetamido-4-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid-sensitive transport system required for sulfate uptake. Despite the dramatic reduction in 35SO4 incorporation, the mutant synthesized sulfated heparan and chondroitin chains. Incubation of the mutant with [35S]cysteine resulted in the formation of 35SO4, which was subsequently incorporated into the glycosaminoglycans. Similar results were obtained when wild-type cells were incubated in sulfate-free growth medium containing [35S]cysteine, and isotope dilution analysis indicated that about 15 microM of sulfate was derived from cysteine catabolism. We also found that the sulfate transport deficiency rendered the mutant resistant to 5 microM sodium chromate, whereas wild-type cells did not divide under these conditions. However, the mutant also did not proliferate in medium containing 5 microM chromate when grown in the presence of wild-type cells, suggesting that chromate was transported through cell-cell contacts. Since co-cultivating sulfate transport-deficient mutants with mutants defective in xylosyltransferase or galactosyltransferase I partially restored 35SO4 incorporation into glycosaminoglycans, intercellular sulfate transport occurred as well. Therefore, the availability of sulfate for glycosaminoglycan synthesis depends on sulfate uptake, turnover of sulfur-containing amino acids, and sulfate transport between cells. 相似文献

Smooth muscle cell proliferation can be inhibited by heparan sulfate proteoglycans whereas the removal or digestion of heparan sulfate from perlecan promotes their proliferation. In this study we characterized the glycosaminoglycan side chains of perlecan isolated from either primary human coronary artery smooth muscle or endothelial cells and determined their roles in mediating cell adhesion and proliferation, and in fibroblast growth factor (FGF) binding and signaling. Smooth muscle cell perlecan was decorated with both heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate, whereas endothelial perlecan contained exclusively heparan sulfate chains. Smooth muscle cells bound to the protein core of perlecan only when the glycosaminoglycans were removed, and this binding involved a novel site in domain III as well as domain V/endorepellin and the α2β1 integrin. In contrast, endothelial cells adhered to the protein core of perlecan in the presence of glycosaminoglycans. Smooth muscle cell perlecan bound both FGF1 and FGF2 via its heparan sulfate chains and promoted the signaling of FGF2 but not FGF1. Also endothelial cell perlecan bound both FGF1 and FGF2 via its heparan sulfate chains, but in contrast, promoted the signaling of both growth factors. Based on this differential bioactivity, we propose that perlecan synthesized by smooth muscle cells differs from that synthesized by endothelial cells by possessing different signaling capabilities, primarily, but not exclusively, due to a differential glycanation. The end result is a differential modulation of cell adhesion, proliferation and growth factor signaling in these two key cellular constituents of blood vessels. 相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling begins with the formation of a ternary complex of FGF, FGF receptor (FGFR), and heparan sulfate (HS). Multiple models have been proposed for the ternary complex. However, major discrepancies exist among those models, and none of these models have evaluated the functional importance of the interacting regions on the HS chains. To resolve the discrepancies, we measured the size and molar ratio of HS in the complex and showed that both FGF1 and FGFR1 simultaneously interact with HS; therefore, a model of 2:2:2 FGF1.HS.FGFR1 was shown to fit the data. Using genetic and biochemical methods, we generated HSs that were defective in FGF1 and/or FGFR1 binding but could form the signaling ternary complex. Both genetically and chemically modified HSs were subsequently assessed in a BaF3 cell mitogenic activity assay. The ability of HS to support the ternary complex formation was found to be required for FGF1-stimulated cell proliferation. Our data also proved that specific critical groups and sites on HS support complex formation. Furthermore, the molar ratio of HS, FGF1, and FGFR1 in the ternary complex was found to be independent of the size of HS, which indicates that the selected model can take place on the cell surface proteoglycans. Finally, a mechanism for the FGF.FGFR signaling complex formation on cell membrane was proposed, where FGF and FGFR have their own binding sites on HS and a distinct ternary complex formation site is directly responsible for mitogenic activity. 相似文献

N-Sulphation is a key step in the overall sulphation of heparansulphate. We have isolated a COS cell-derived mutant, CM-15,that is impaired in its ability to bind to basic fibroblastgrowth factor (bFGF) and has a 2- to 3-fold reduction in N-sulphotransferaseactivity [Ishihara et al., (1992a) Anal. Biochem., 206, 400407].We now provide structural evidence that CM-15 is selectivelyimpaired in the synthesis of highly sulphated regions or blocksthat display high-affinity binding to bFGF; these are completelyN-sulphated blocks of decasaccharide or greater length thatare enriched in O-sulphate groups. The synthesis of sulphatedblocks that did not show high affinity to the growth factorwas relatively unimpaired in the mutant cells; this includedfully N-sulphated octamer (or smaller) blocks and, unexpectedly,decasaccharide or larger blocks that were poorly O-sulphated.In the latter fraction, the failure to form high-affinity bindingregions was the result of a failure to stimulate O-sulphationrather than N-sulphation in CM-15 cells. In agreement with otherstudies, disaccharide analysis of the wild-type-derived sulphatedblocks suggested that 2-O-sulphation of iduronate residues inthe polymer was a necessary element to produce a high-affinitybinding sequence once N-sulphation was completed in the decasaccharideor larger fraction. These results suggest that a selective reductionin both N- and O-sulphation in the larger blocks produced byCM-15 cells is a consequence of the reduction of N-sulphotransferaseactivity. These data provide a potential mechanism for regulatingthe synthesis of high-affinity bFGF binding domains in the heparansulphate of mammalian cells. basic fibroblast growth factor COS cell mutant heparan sulfate N-sulphotransferase 相似文献
