Chondroitin 4-O-sulfotransferase-1 modulates Wnt-3a signaling through control of E disaccharide expression of chondroitin sulfate.
Wnt-3a is a ligand that activates the beta-catenin-dependent pathway in Wnt signaling, which is implicated in numerous physiological events such as morphogenesis. So far, heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans have been highlighted as a low affinity receptor for morphogens containing Wnts. Here we show the importance of chondroitin sulfate (CS) proteoglycans in the efficient signaling of Wnt-3a and...
متن کاملChondroitin 4-O-sulfotransferase-1 regulates the chain length of chondroitin sulfate in co-operation with chondroitin N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase-2.
Previously, we demonstrated that sog9 cells, a murine L cell mutant, are deficient in the expression of C4ST (chondroitin 4-O-sulfotransferase)-1 and that they synthesize fewer and shorter CS (chondroitin sulfate) chains. These results suggested that C4ST-1 regulates not only 4-O-sulfation of CS, but also the length and amount of CS chains; however, the mechanism remains unclear. In the present...
متن کاملChondroitin 4-O-sulfotransferase-2 regulates the number of chondroitin sulfate chains initiated by chondroitin N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase-1.
Recently, it has been shown that a deficiency in ChGn-1 (chondroitin N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase-1) reduced the numbers of CS (chondroitin sulfate) chains, leading to skeletal dysplasias in mice. Although these results indicate that ChGn-1 regulates the number of CS chains, the mechanism mediating this regulation is not clear. ChGn-1 is thought to initiate CS biosynthesis by transferring ...
متن کاملBIOTECHNOLOGICALLY RELEVANT ENZYMES AND PROTEINS Expression of chondroitin-4-O-sulfotransferase inEscherichia coli and Pichia pastoris
Chondroitin sulfates are linear sulfated polysaccharides called glycosaminoglycans. They are important nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products that are biosynthesized through the action of chondroitin sulfotransferases on either an unsulfated chondroitin or a dermatan polysaccharide precursor. While the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfates are well known, the cloning e...
متن کاملExpression of N-Acetylgalactosamine 4-Sulfate 6-O-Sulfotransferase Involved in Chondroitin Sulfate Synthesis Is Responsible for Pulmonary Metastasis
Chondroitin sulfate (CS) containing E-disaccharide units, glucuronic acid-N-acetylgalactosamine(4, 6-O-disulfate), at surfaces of tumor cells plays a key role in tumor metastasis. However, the molecular mechanism of the metastasis involving the CS chain-containing E-units is not fully understood. In this study, to clarify the role of E-units in the metastasis and to search for potential molecul...
