Role of the interaction of proHB-EGF with heparan sulfate proteoglycans
… ability to bind heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs). The interaction of HB-EGF with HSPGs has been previously studied only with the soluble (autocrine/paracrine) form of the protein (sHB-EGF), produced after proteolytic cleavage of the transmembrane form (proHB-EGF) from the cell surface. It …

Identification of the receptor for cellular internalization of an anti-nucleic acid antibody, 3D8 scFv
… both cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) that are highly negatively charged molecules known as endocytic receptors for a variety of ligands. Treatment of soluble HS or CS reduced cell surface binding of 3D8 scFv to intact HSPGs. …

Characterisation of human surfactant protein A and recombinant human vimentin in their modulation of HPV16 pseudovirus infection
… heparan sulphate proteoglycans (HSPGs) than control particles. Removal of surface HSPGs on NIKS cells decreased HPV16-PsVs cell surface binding and internalisation, while pre-incubation of HPV16-PsVs with rhVim decreased viral particle binding and internalisation to a greater …

Characterization of Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 (IGFBP-3) interaction with the Bovine Aortic Endothelial (BAE) cell surface: Examination of the Role of Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans (HSPG)
… was seen that inactivation of the cell surface HSPGs with 75 mM sodium chlorate did not affect IGFBP-3 binding. Further, there have been reports of inhibition of IGFBP-3 binding by heparin in the media. Hence, the most probable interaction of HSPG with IGFBP-3 occurs in the extracellular region, …

Defining the role of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in APL-1 function in Caenorhabditis elegans
… target receptors. Heparin sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs), such as LON-2 glypican and UNC-52 perlecan, are likely candidates for the ECM proteins that interact and guide sAPL-1. The disruption of APL-1 causes phenotypical changes, including in learning, reproduction, and memory; these defects are …

The Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan Perlecan Regulates Axonal and Synaptic Stability
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) form essential components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and basement membrane (BM) and have both structural and signaling roles. Perlecan is a secreted ECM-localized HSPG that contributes to tissue integrity and cell-cell communication. In this thesis, I …

Role of heat shock protein 70 and sulphatases 1 and 2 in apoptosis induced by cytotoxic cells of the immune system
… MEFs erklärt werden. Ein Verdau von HSPGs durch die Heparinasen II und III erhöhte die Effizienz der Infektion weiter. Gleichermaßen führte auch ein genetischer Defekt von HSPGs in CHO-Zellen zu einer erhöhten Infektionsrate.Diese Ergebnisse lassen vermuten, dass HSPGs eher als Decoy …

Cryo-electron microscopy of HPV16 pseudovirions reveal changes in capsid conformation upon furin cleavage
… via binding to heparan sulphate proteoglycans (HSPGs). Cleavage of L2 by a host protease, furin, is necessary for infection and is thought to facilitate a conformational change in the virus capsid. Furin cleavage may affect the ability of HPV to bind to sulphated glycoproteins and a HSPG …

Characterisation of novel matrix-binding interactions for latent transforming growth factor-β-binding protein-2 (LTBP-2), with emphasis on heparin and heparan sulphate proteoglycans.
… yet unidentified heparan sulphate proteoglycans (HSPGs), have also been identified as playing important roles in this process. Fibrillins-1, -2, -3 and latent transforming growth factor-β binding protein (LTBP)-1, -2, -3, -4, associated components of fibrillin-microfibrils, make up a superfamily …

Roles of Heparan sulfate in mesendoderm differentiation of human embryonic stem cells
… stem cell niche. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are found on the membrane of all animal cells and have long been implicated in a wide range of cell-cell signaling and cell-matrix interactions. Multiple heparan sulfate (HS)-binding growth factors, such as Wnt, bone morphogenetic proteins …

Identifizierung, Charakterisierung und funktionelle Analyse der Bindungspartner von APRIL und TACI auf Monozyten und Dendritischen Zellen
… APRIL haben Heparansulfat-Proteoglykane (HSPGs) gebunden und sind daher möglicherweise auch in vivo mit HSPGs komplexiert. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigen, dass APRIL über seine Heparinbindedomäne Proteoglykane auf extravasierten Monozyten bindet und dadurch Zell-Zell-Anlagerung von …

The glypican Dally binds to Lipophorin particles and increases Hedgehog signaling efficiency
The Drosophila Lipoprotein particles bear lipid-linked morphogens on their surface and are required for long-range signaling activity of Wingless and Hedgehog. They also bind a wide variety of gpi-linked proteins. Whether any of these proteins affect morphogen signaling is unknown. Here, I show …
