“…Brittle star (class Ophiuroidea) 2-O sulfated CS/DS has a high amount of L-IdoA and is able to activate ERK1/2 in the presence of Fgf2 in CHO cells that lack any GAGs (Ramachandra et al, 2014). An explanation could be the domain organization of GAGs, as shown for HS oligosaccharides and their ability to modulate Fgf2-induced ERK1/2 activation (Jastrebova et al, 2010).…”

Fibroblast growth factor 2 (Fgf2) is involved in several biological functions. Fgf2 requires glycosaminoglycans, like chondroitin and dermatan sulfates (hereafter denoted CS/DS) as co-receptors. CS/ DS are linear polysaccharides composed of repeating disaccharide units and , which can be sulfated. Uronyl 2-O-sulfotransferase (Ust) introduces sulfation at the C2 of IdoUA and GlcUA resulting in over-sulfated units. Here, we investigated the role of Ust-mediated CS/DS 2-O sulfation in Fgf2-induced cell migration. We found that CHO-K1 cells overexpressing Ust contain significantly more CS/DS 2-O sulfated units, whereas Ust knockdown abolished CS/DS 2-O sulfation. These structural differences in CS/DS resulted in altered Fgf2 binding and increased phosphorylation of ERK1/2 (also known as MAPK3 and MAPK1, respectively). As a functional consequence of CS/DS 2-O sulfation and altered Fgf2 binding, cell migration and paxillin activation were increased. Inhibition of sulfation, knockdown of Ust and inhibition of FgfR resulted in reduced migration. Similarly, in 3T3 cells Fgf2 treatment increased migration, which was abolished by Ust knockdown. The proteoglycan controlling the CHO migration was syndecan 1. Knockdown of Sdc1 in CHO-K1 cells overexpressing Ust abolished cell migration. We conclude that the presence of distinctly sulfated CS/DS can tune the Fgf2 effect on cell migration.

“…Lacrimal gland development (17), viability and neural development in C. elegans (18), FGF-induced signaling (19), and cartilage homeostasis (20) all depend on sulfation. Sulfation of tyrosine residues is important for the interaction of chemokines and their receptors (21)(22)(23) and for binding and entry of HIV (24).…”

Chlamydia trachomatis is a pathogen responsible for a prevalent sexually transmitted disease. It is also the most common cause of infectious blindness in the developing world. We performed a loss-of-function genetic screen in human haploid cells to identify host factors important in C. trachomatis L2 infection. We identified and confirmed B3GAT3 , B4GALT7 , and SLC35B2 , which encode glucuronosyltransferase I, galactosyltransferase I, and the 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfate transporter 1, respectively, as important in facilitating Chlamydia infection. Knockout of any of these three genes inhibits Chlamydia attachment. In complementation studies, we found that the introduction of functional copies of these three genes into the null clones restored full susceptibility to Chlamydia infection. The degree of attachment of Chlamydia strongly correlates with the level of sulfation of the host cell, not simply with the amount of heparan sulfate. Thus, other, as-yet unidentified sulfated macromolecules must contribute to infection. These results demonstrate the utility of screens in haploid cells to study interactions of human cells with bacteria. Furthermore, the human null clones generated can be used to investigate the role of heparan sulfate and sulfation in other settings not limited to infectious disease.

“…At least in vitro, the FGF family proteins and their receptors often bind with increasing affinity to more highly sulfated heparan sulfates, suggesting a lack of specificity with respect to the precise arrangement of N-, 2-O, and 6-O sulfate groups (11,15,16). In Drosophila, tracheal branching morphogenesis depends on FGF signaling mediated by the interaction of the FGF homolog branchless with the FGF receptor, breathless.…”

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.Heparan sulfate is a cell-surface glycosaminoglycan playing important roles in the transport and signaling of multiple growth factors, including Hedgehog, Wnt, bone morphogenic protein (BMP), and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) (1-3). Heparan sulfate is first synthesized from the activated monosaccharides, UDP-glucuronic acid and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine, by an Ext copolymerase complex to form a copolymer of glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine. Polymerization is followed by N-deacetylation/N-sulfation of subsets of N-acetylglucosamine residues by N-deacetylase-N-sulfotransferase (Ndst) 2 enzymes (4). Because of the incomplete processing by the Ndst enzymes, the polysaccharide backbone is divided into stretches of variable length of N-sulfated disaccharides (NS domains) and N-acetylated disaccharides (NA domains). A portion of the D-glucuronic acid residues in the NS domains is next converted by glucuronyl C5-epimerase (Hsepi) into l-iduronic acids. A 2-O-sulfotransferase (Hs2st) transfers a sulfate group to the C-2 carbon of the iduronic acids and less frequently to glucuronic acid. Finally, 6-O-sulfotransferases (Hs6st) and more rarely 3-O-sulfotransferases (Hs3st) add sulfate groups to the C-6 and C-3 carbon of the glucosamine residues, respectively. These reactions do not go to completion, lea...
