Hybrid chondroitin/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) glycosaminoglycan chains, derived from decorin secreted by human skin fibroblasts, were shown to interact with FGF-2, as did oligosaccharides derived therefrom by chondroitin B lyase digestion. In a first attempt to identify the biologically active sequence, a novel protocol for structural analysis of enzyme-resistant oligosaccharides larger than standard trisulfated hexasaccharides was developed. The method bases on capillary electrophoresis (CE) for separating oversulfated species in offline combination with nanoelectrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (nanoESI-QTOF-MS/MS) in the negative ion mode. Under optimized CE and ESI-MS conditions, up to 12-mer oligosaccharides with different degrees of sulfation were identified. A novel tandem MS protocol (CID-VE) was applied to elucidate the structure of a previously undescribed pentasulfated CS/DS hexasaccharide, Delta-4,5-IdoAGalNAc[GlcAGalNAc]2(5S). In this molecular species, detected as a triply charged ion at m/z 511.38, three sulfates are found in the IdoAGalNAcGlcA moiety offering two structural variants: one containing sulfated IdoA together with a disulfated GalNAc moiety and in the other one both uronic acids, that is, GlcA and IdoA and the amino sugar each carry a sulfate ester group. 相似文献

In the central nervous system, chondroitin/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) modulate neurotrophic effects and glial cell maturation during brain development. Previous reports revealed that GAG composition could be responsible for CS/DS activities in brain. In this work, for the structural characterization of DS- and CS-rich domains in hybrid GAG chains extracted from neural tissue, we have developed an advanced approach based on high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) using nanoelectrospray ionization Orbitrap in the negative ion mode. Our high-resolution MS and multistage MS approach was developed and applied to hexasaccharides obtained from 4- and 14-week-old mouse brains by GAG digestion with chondroitin B and in parallel with AC I lyase. The expression of DS- and CS-rich domains in the two tissues was assessed comparatively. The analyses indicated an age-related structural variability of the CS/DS motifs. The older brain was found to contain more structures and a higher sulfation of DS-rich regions, whereas the younger brain was found to be characterized by a higher sulfation of CS-rich regions. By multistage MS using collision-induced dissociation, we also demonstrated the incidence in mouse brain of an atypical [4,5-Δ-GlcAGalNAc(IdoAGalNAc)2], presenting a bisulfated CS disaccharide formed by 3-O-sulfate-4,5-Δ-GlcA and 6-O-sulfate-GalNAc moieties. 相似文献

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in marine animals are different to those of terrestrial organisms, mainly in terms of molecular weight and sulfation. The therapeutic properties of GAGs are related to their ability to interact with proteins, which is very much influenced by sulfation position and patterns. Since currently GAGs cannot be chemically synthesized, they are sourced from natural products, with high intra- but also inter-species variability, in terms of chain length, disaccharide composition and sulfation pattern. Consequently, sulfated GAGs are the most interesting molecules in the marine environment and constitute the focus of the present review. In particular, chondroitin sulfate (CS) appears as the most promising compound. CS-E chains [GlcA-GalNAc(4S,6S)] extracted from squid possess antiviral and anti-metastatic activities and seem to impart signalling properties and improve the mechanical performance of cartilage engineering constructs; Squid CS-E and octopus CS-K [GlcA(3S)-GalNAc(4S)], dermatan sulfate (DS) from sea squirts [-iK units, IdoA(3S)-GalNAc(4S)] and sea urchins [-iE units, IdoA-GalNAc(4S,6S)] and hybrids CS/DS from sharks (-B/iB [GlcA/IdoA(2S)-GalNAc(4S)], -D/iD [GlcA/IdoA(2S)-GalNAc(6S)] and –E/iE units [GlcA/IdoA-GalNAc(4S,6S)]) promote neurite outgrowth and could be valuable materials for nerve regeneration. Also displaying antiviral and anti-metastatic properties, a rare CS with fucosylated branches isolated from sea cucumbers is an anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory agent. In this same line, marine heparin extracted from shrimp and sea squirt has proven anti-inflammatory properties, with the added advantage of decreased risk of bleeding because of its low anticoagulant activity. 相似文献

The relative proportion of L-iduronic acid (IdoA) and D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) is of great importance for the structure–function relationship of chondroitin sulfate (CS)/dermatan
sulfate (DS). However, determination of the isotypes of uronic acid residues in CS/DS is still a challenge, due to the instability
of free uronic acid released by chemical degradation and its conversion to unsaturated uronic acid by digestion with bacterial
eliminase. 1H-Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a promising tool with which to address this issue, but the traditional
method based on the assignment of the ring proton signals of IdoA and GlcA residues still has drawbacks such as the serious
overlap of signals in the 1H-NMR spectrum of CS/DS polysaccharides. We found that the proton signals of the N-acetyl group of N-acetyl-D-galactosamines in CS and DS could be clearly distinguished and accurately integrated in the one-dimensional (1D) 1H-NMR spectrum. Based on this finding, here we report a novel, sensitive, and nondestructive 1D 1H-NMR-based method to determine the proportion of IdoA and GlcA residues in CS/DS hybrid chains.

Dermatan sulfate (DS) chains are variants of chondroitin sulfate (CS) that are expressed in mammalian extracellular matrices and are particularly prevalent in skin. DS has been implicated in varied biological processes including wound repair, infection, cardiovascular disease, tumorigenesis, and fibrosis. The biological activities of DS have been attributed to its high content of IdoA(alpha1-3)GalNAc4S(beta1-4) disaccharide units. Mature CS/DS chains consist of blocks with high and low GlcA/IdoA ratios, and sulfation may occur at the 4- and/or 6-position of GalNAc and 2-position of IdoA. Traditional methods for the analysis of CS/DS chains involve differential digestion with specific chondroitinases followed by steps of chromatographic isolation of the products and di-saccharide analysis on the individual fraction. This work reports the use of tandem mass spectrometry to determine the patterns of sulfation and epimerization of CS/DS oligosaccharides in a single step. The approach is first validated and then applied to a series of skin DS samples and to decorins from three different tissues. DS samples ranged from 74 to 99% of CSB-like repeats, using this approach. Decorin samples ranged from 30% CSB-like repeats for those samples from articular cartilage to 75% for those from sclera. These values agree with known levels of glucuronyl C5-epimerase in these tissues. 相似文献

We have shown previously that a highly sulfated sequence, GalNAc(4,6-SO(4))-GlcA(2SO(4))-GalNAc(6SO(4)), is present at the nonreducing terminal of chondroitin sulfate (CS), and this structure was synthesized from a unique sequence, GalNAc(4SO(4))-GlcA(2SO(4))-GalNAc(6SO(4)), by sulfation with N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfate 6-O-sulfotransferase. Uronosyl 2-O-sulfotrasferase (2OST), which transfers sulfate from 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) to position 2 of the GlcA residue of CS, is expected to be involved in synthesis of these structures; however, the specificity of 2OST concerning recognition of the sulfation pattern of the acceptor has largely remained unclear. In the present study, we examined the specificity of 2OST in terms of recognition of the sulfation pattern around the targeting GlcA residue. The recombinant 2OST could sulfate CS-A, CS-C, and desulfated dermatan sulfate. When [(35)S]glycosaminoglycans formed from CS-A after the reaction with the recombinant 2OST and [(35)S]PAPS were subjected to limited digestion with chondroitinase ACII, a radioactive tetrasaccharide (Tetra A) was obtained as a sole intermediate product. The sequence of Tetra A was found to be DeltaHexA-GalNAc(4SO(4))-GlcA(2SO(4))-GalNAc(6SO(4)) by enzymatic and chemical reactions. These observations indicate that 2OST transfers sulfate preferentially to the GlcA residue located in a unique sequence, -GalNAc(4SO(4))-GlcA-GalNAc(6SO(4))-. When oligosaccharides with different sulfation patterns were used as the acceptor, GalNAc(4SO(4))-GlcA-GalNAc(6SO(4)) and GlcA-GalNAc(4SO(4))-GlcA-GalNAc(6SO(4)) were the best acceptors for 2OST among trisaccharides and tetrasaccharides, respectively. These results suggest that 2OST may be involved in the synthesis of the highly sulfated structure found in CS-A. 相似文献

Oversulfated chondroitin sulfate E (CS-E) derived from squid cartilage exhibits intriguing biological activities, which appear to reflect the biological activities of mammalian CS chains containing the so-called E disaccharide unit [GlcAbeta1-3GalNAc(4,6-O-disulfate)]. Previously, we isolated novel tetra- and hexasaccharides containing a rare GlcA(3-O-sulfate) at the nonreducing end after digestion of squid cartilage CS-E with testicular hyaluronidase. In this study, squid cartilage CS-E was extensively digested with chondroitinase AC-II, which yielded five highly sulfated novel tetrasaccharides and two odd-numbered oligosaccharides (tri- and pentasaccharides) containing D-Glc. Their structures were determined by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The results revealed an internal GlcA(3-O-sulfate) residue for all the novel tetrasaccharide sequences, which rendered the oligosaccharides resistant to the enzyme. The results suggest that GlcA(3-O-sulfate) units are not clustered but rather interspersed in the CS-E polysaccahride chains, being preferentially located in the highly sulfated sequences. The predominant structure on the nearest nonreducing side of a GlcA(3-O-sulfate) residue was GalNAc(4-O-sulfate) (80%), whereas that on the reducing side was GalNAc(4,6-O-disulfate) (59%). The structural variety in the vicinity of the GlcA(3-O-sulfate) residue might represent the substrate specificity of the unidentified chondroitin GlcA 3-O-sulfotransferase. The results also revealed a trisaccharide and a pentasaccahride sequence, both of which contained a beta-d-Glc branch at the C6 position of the constituent GalNAc residue. Approximately 5 mol % of all disaccharide units were substituted by Glc in the CS-E preparation used. 相似文献

Chondroitin sulfate (CS) and dermatan sulfate (DS) interact with various extracellular molecules such as growth factors, cytokines/chemokines, neurotrophic factors, morphogens, and viral proteins, thereby playing roles in a variety of biological processes including cell adhesion, proliferation, tissue morphogenesis, neurite outgrowth, infections, and inflammation/leukocyte trafficking. CS/DS are modified with sulfate groups at C-2 of uronic acid residues as well as C-4 and/or C-6 of N-acetyl-D-galactosamine residues, yielding enormous structural diversity, which enables the binding with numerous proteins. We have demonstrated that highly sulfated CS-E from squid cartilage, for example, interacts with heparin-binding proteins including midkine, pleiotrophin, and fibroblast growth factors expressed in brain with high affinity (Kd values in the nM range). Here, we analyzed the binding of CS and DS, which have a relatively low degree of sulfation and have been widely used as a nutraceutical and a drug for osteoarthritis etc., with a number of heparin-binding neurotrophic factors/cytokines using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and structurally characterized the CS/DS chains. SPR showed that relatively low sulfated CS-A, DS, and CS-C also bound with significant affinity to midkine, pleiotrophin, hepatocyte growth factor, monokine-induced by interferon-γ, and stromal cell derived factor-1β, although the binding was less intense than that with highly sulfated CS-D and CS-E. These findings suggest that even low sulfated CS and/or DS chains may contain binding domains, which include fine sugar sequences with specific sulfation patterns, and that sugar sequences, conformations and electrostatic potential are more important than the simple degree of sulfation represented by disaccharide composition. 相似文献

Placental malaria, a serious infection caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, is characterized by the selective accumulation of infected erythrocytes (IEs) in the placentas of the pregnant women. Placental adherence is mediated by the malarial VAR2CSA protein, which interacts with chondroitin sulfate (CS) proteoglycans present in the placental tissue. CS is a linear acidic polysaccharide composed of repeating disaccharide units of d-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-d-galactosamine that are modified by sulfate groups at different positions. Previous reports have shown that placental-adhering IEs were associated with an unusually low sulfated form of chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) and that a partially sulfated dodecasaccharide is the minimal motif for the interaction. However, the fine molecular structure of this CS chain remains unclear. In this study, we have characterized the CS chain that interacts with a recombinant minimal CS-binding region of VAR2CSA (rVAR2) using a CS library of various defined lengths and sulfate compositions. The CS library was chemo-enzymatically synthesized with bacterial chondroitin polymerase and recombinant CS sulfotransferases. We found that C-4 sulfation of the N-acetyl-d-galactosamine residue is critical for supporting rVAR2 binding, whereas no other sulfate modifications showed effects. Interaction of rVAR2 with CS is highly correlated with the degree of C-4 sulfation and CS chain length. We confirmed that the minimum structure binding to rVAR2 is a tri-sulfated CSA dodecasaccharide, and found that a highly sulfated CSA eicosasaccharide is a more potent inhibitor of rVAR2 binding than the dodecasaccharides. These results suggest that CSA derivatives may potentially serve as targets in therapeutic strategies against placental malaria. 相似文献

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by aberrant deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) constituents, including glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), that may play a role in remodelling processes by influencing critical mediators such as growth factors. We hypothesize that GAGs may be altered in IPF and that this contribute to create a pro-fibrotic environment. The aim of this study was therefore to examine the fine structure of heparan sulfate (HS), chondroitin/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) and hyaluronan (HA) in lung samples from IPF patients and from control subjects. GAGs in lung samples from severe IPF patients and donor lungs were analyzed with HPLC. HS was assessed by immunohistochemistry and collagen was quantified as hydroxyproline content. The total amount of HS, CS/DS and HA was increased in IPF lungs but there was no significant difference in the total collagen content. We found a relative increase in total sulfation of HS due to increment of 2-O, 6-O and N-sulfation and a higher proportion of sulfation in CS/DS. Highly sulfated HS was located in the border zone between denser areas and more normal looking alveolar parenchyma in basement membranes of blood vessels and airways, that were immuno-positive for perlecan, as well as on the cell surface of spindle-shaped cells in the alveolar interstitium. These findings show for the first time that both the amount and structure of glycosaminoglycans are altered in IPF. These changes may contribute to the tissue remodelling in IPF by altering growth factor retention and activity, creating a pro-fibrotic ECM landscape. 相似文献

Chondroitin and dermatan sulfate (CS and DS) chains were isolated from bovine tracheal cartilage and pig intestinal mucosal preparations and fragmented by enzymatic methods. The oligosaccharides studied include a disaccharide and hexasaccharides from chondroitin ABC lyase digestion as well as trisaccharides already present in some commercial preparations. In addition, other trisaccharides were generated from tetrasaccharides by chemical removal of nonreducing terminal residues. Their structures were examined by high-field 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, after reduction using sodium borohydride. The main hexasaccharide isolated from pig intestinal mucosal DS was found to be fully 4-O-sulfated and have the structure: DeltaUA(beta1-3)GalNAc4S(beta1-4)L-IdoA(alpha1-3)GalNAc4S(beta1-4)L-IdoA(alpha1-3)GalNAc4S-ol, whereas one from bovine tracheal cartilage CS comprised only 6-O-sulfated residues and had the structure: DeltaUA(beta1-3)GalNAc6S(beta1-4)GlcA(beta1-3)GalNAc6S(beta1-4)GlcA(beta1-3)GalNAc6S-ol. No oligosaccharide showed any uronic acid 2-sulfation. One novel disaccharide was examined and found to have the structure: GalNAc6S(beta1-4)GlcA-ol. The trisaccharides isolated from the CS/DS chains were found to have the structures: DeltaUA(beta1-3)GalNAc4S(beta1-4)GlcA-ol and DeltaUA(beta1-3)GalNAc6S(beta1-4)GlcA-ol. Such oligosaccharides were found in commercial CS/DS preparations and may derive from endogenous glucuronidase and other enzymatic activity. Chemically generated trisaccharides were confirmed as models of the CS/DS chain caps and included: GalNAc6S(beta1-4)GlcA(beta1-3)GalNAc4S-ol and GalNAc6S(beta1-4)GlcA(beta1-3)GalNAc6S-ol. The full assignment of all signals in the NMR spectra are given, and these data permit the further characterization of CS/DS chains and their nonreducing capping structures. 相似文献

HNK-1 (human natural killer-1) carbohydrate epitope (HSO3-3GlcAβ1-3Galβ1-4GlcNAc-) recognized by a HNK-1 monoclonal antibody is highly expressed in the nervous system and biosynthesized by a glucuronyltransferase (GlcAT-P or GlcAT-S), and sulfotransferase (HNK-1ST). A similar oligosaccharide (HSO3-3GlcAβ1-3Galβ1-3Galβ1-4Xyl) also recognized by the HNK-1 antibody had been found in a glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-protein linkage region of α-thrombomodulin (TM) from human urine. However, which sulfotransferase is involved in sulfation of the terminal GlcA in the GAG-protein linkage region remains unclear. In this study, using CHO-K1 cells in which neither GlcAT-P nor GlcAT-S is endogenously expressed, we found that HNK-1ST has the ability to produce HNK-1 immunoreactivity on α-TM. We also demonstrated that HNK-1ST caused the suppression of chondroitin sulfate (CS) synthesis on TM and a reduction of its anti-coagulant activity. Moreover, using an in vitro enzyme assay system, the HNK-1-positive TM was found not to be utilized as a substrate for CS-polymerizing enzymes (chondroitin synthase (ChSy) and chondroitin polymerizing factor (ChPF)). These results suggest that HNK-1ST is involved in 3-O-sulfation of the terminal GlcA of the linkage tetrasaccharide which acts as an inhibitory signal for the initiation of CS biosynthesis on TM. 相似文献

To generate xyloside-primed dermatan sulfate suitable for sequence analysis, skin fibroblasts were incubated withp-hydroxyphenyl--d-xylopyranoside and [3H]galactose, and free [3H]glycosaminoglycan chains were isolated from the culture medium by ion exchange and gel chromatography. After125I labelling of their reducing-terminal hydroxyphenyl groups, chains were subjected to various chemical and enzymatic degradations, both partial and complete, followed by gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiographic identification of fragments extending from the labelled reducing-end to the point of cleavage. Results of periodate oxidation-alkaline scission indicated that the xylose moiety remained unsubstituted at C-2/C-3; exhaustive treatment with chondroitin AC-I lyase afforded the fragment HexA-Gal-Gal-Xyl-R (R = radio-iodinated hydroxyphenyl group), and complete degradations with chondroitin ABC lyase as well as testicular hyaluronidase yielded the fragments HexA/HexA-GalNAc-GlcA-Gal-Gal-Xyl-R with or without sulfate on theN-acetylgalactosamine. Partial digestions with testicular hyaluronidase or chondroitin B lyase indicated that glucuronic acid was common in the first three repeats after the linkage region and that iduronic acid could occupy any position thereafter. Hence, there were no indications of a repeated, periodic appearance of the clustered GlcA-GalNAc repeats which was previously observed in proteoglycan derived dermatan sulfate [Fransson L-Å, Havsmark B, Silverberg I (1990)Biochem J

Chondroitin sulfate (CS) and dermatan sulfate (DS) are special types of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) oligosaccharides able to regulate
vital biological functions that depend on precise motifs of their constituent hexose sequences and the extent and location
of their sulfation. As a result, the need for better understanding of CS/DS biological role called for the elaboration and
application of straightforward strategies for their composition and structure elucidation. Due to its high sensitivity, reproducibility,
and the possibility to rapidly generate data on fine CS/DS structure determinants, mass spectrometry (MS) based on either
electrospray ionization (ESI) or matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) brought a major progress in the field.
Here, modern developments in MS of CS/DS GAGs are gathered in a critical review covering the past 5 years. The first section
is dedicated to protocols for CS/DS extraction from parent proteoglycan, digestion, and purification that are among critical
prerequisites of a successful MS experiment. The second part highlights several MALDI MS aspects, the requirements, and applications
of this ionization method to CS/DS investigation. An ample chapter is devoted to ESI MS strategies, which employ either capillary-
or advanced chip-based sample infusion in combination with multistage MS (MS
n
) using either collision-induced (CID) or electron detachment dissociation (EDD). At last, the potential of two versatile
separation techniques, capillary electrophoresis (CE), and liquid chromatography (LC) in off- and/or on-line coupling with
ESI MS and MS
n
, is discussed, alongside an assessment of particular buffer/solvent conditions and instrumental parameters required for CS/DS
mixture separation followed by on-line mass analysis of individual components. 相似文献

A 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfate (PAPS):chondroitin sulfate sulfotransferase from chicken embryo epiphyseal cartilage, which was partially purified, exhibited a molecular mass of 150 kDa. The enzymatic sulfation of totally desulfated chondroitin was activated up to 12-fold by protamine while the sulfation of partially sulfated chondroitin was activated only 3-fold. Protamine increased the affinity of the enzyme for PAPS about 4-fold when partially desulfated chondroitin was used as sulfate acceptor. The S0.5 for the totally desulfated chondroitin was not affected by protamine, while high PAPS concentration slightly increased the affinity of the enzyme for the same sulfate acceptor. The possible role of these substances in the regulation of the sulfation of chondroitin sulfate is discussed. 相似文献

Structural characteristics of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) derived from axonally transported proteoglycans (PGs) were compared in 21 day regenerating and intact goldfish optic tracts. Twenty one days following unilateral optic nerve crushes, fish received intraocular injections of35SO4. Eight hours post injection, tracts were removed and the35SO4-labeled GAGs, chondroitin sulfate (CS) and heparan sulfate (HS), isolated. The HS from regenerating optic tracts had a DEAE elution profile indicative of decreased charge density, while heparitinase treatment of HS followed by Sephadex G50 analysis of the resulting fragments showed a change in the elution pattern, suggesting reduced overall sulfation. HPLC analysis of HS disaccharides revealed a difference in the sulfation pattern of regenerating tract HS, characterized by the reduced presence of tri-sulfated disaccharides. Other structural features, such as the sizes of CS and HS, and the sulfation of CS, showed no changes during regeneration. These results indicate that changes in the structure of axonally transported HS accompany regeneration of goldfish optic axons. 相似文献

By supplying skin fibroblasts with different concentrations of the galactosaminoglycan chain-primer p-hydroxyphenyl-O-β-D-xylopyranoside we have produced and recovered glycan-chains that were subsequently radio-iodinated in the hydroxyphenyl
group and subjected to sequence analysis by using graded enzymic treatment followed by a combination of gel chromatography
and electrophoresis. Fragments extending from the tagged reducing end to the cleavage-point were identified and quantified.
Degradation by chondroitin B lyase of chains primed at 0.1 or 0.5 mM xyloside gave profiles indicating a periodic and wave-like
distribution of iduronate-containing repeats, with high incidence around positions 2, 5 and onwards, whereas in chains produced
at 1.0 mM xyloside the incidence of iduronate was similar in positions 1–4 and then declined. Degradation by chondroitin AC
lyase indicated a high incidence of glucuronate in or near the linkage-region. There was a relatively uniform degree of sulfation
in chains primed at low xyloside concentration, whereas chains primed at 1.0 mM xyloside gave very heterogeneous charge-patterns
in all segments of the chain, including the linkage-region, giving the impression that adequate sulfation, probably at C-4
and at the first opportunity, is necessary to obtain an ordered and periodic epimerization pattern. Abbreviations:CS, chondroitin

We synthesized the biotinylated chondroitin sulfate tetrasaccharides CS-CC [-3)βGalNAc6S(1–4)βGlcA(1-]2 and CS-DD [-3)βGalNAc6S(1–4)βGlcA2S(1-]2 which possess sulfate groups at O-6 of GalNAc and an additional sulfate group at O-2 of GlcA, respectively. We also analyzed interactions among CS-CC and CS-DD and the antibodies 2H6 and LY111, both of which are known to bind with CS-A, while CS-DD was shown for the first time to bind with both antibodies. 相似文献

Chondroitin/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) proteoglycans consist of unbranched sulfated polysaccharide chains of repeating GalNAc-GlcA/IdoA disaccharide units, attached to serine residues on specific proteins. The CS/DS proteoglycans are abundant in the extracellular matrix where they have essential functions in tissue development and homeostasis. In this report a phylogenetic analysis of vertebrate genes coding for the enzymes that modify CS/DS is presented. We identify single orthologous genes in the zebrafish genome for the sulfotransferases chst7, chst11, chst13, chst14, chst15 and ust and the epimerase dse. In contrast, two copies were found for mammalian sulfotransferases CHST3 and CHST12 and the epimerase DSEL, named chst3a and chst3b, chst12a and chst12b, dsela and dselb, respectively. Expression of CS/DS modification enzymes is spatially and temporally regulated with a large variation between different genes. We found that CS/DS 4-O-sulfotransferases and 6-O-sulfotransferases as well as CS/DS epimerases show a strong and partly overlapping expression, whereas the expression is restricted for enzymes with ability to synthesize di-sulfated disaccharides. A structural analysis further showed that CS/DS sulfation increases during embryonic development mainly due to synthesis of 4-O-sulfated GalNAc while the proportion of 6-O-sulfated GalNAc increases in later developmental stages. Di-sulfated GalNAc synthesized by Chst15 and 2-O-sulfated GlcA/IdoA synthesized by Ust are rare, in accordance with the restricted expression of these enzymes. We also compared CS/DS composition with that of heparan sulfate (HS). Notably, CS/DS biosynthesis in early zebrafish development is more dynamic than HS biosynthesis. Furthermore, HS contains disaccharides with more than one sulfate group, which are virtually absent in CS/DS. 相似文献
