Glycosaminoglycans in infectious disease.
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are complex carbohydrates that are ubiquitously present on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. Interactions between GAGs and pathogens represent the first line of contact between pathogen and host cell and are crucial to a pathogen's invasive potential. Their complexity and structural diversity allow GAGs to control a wide array of biological interactions...
متن کاملGlycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans
In this editorial to MDPI Pharmaceuticals special issue "Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans" we describe in outline the common structural features of glycosaminoglycans and the characteristics of proteoglycans, including the intracellular proteoglycan, serglycin, cell-surface proteoglycans, like syndecans and glypicans, and the extracellular matrix proteoglycans, like aggrecan, perlecan, and ...
متن کاملGlycosaminoglycans and infection.
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are complex linear polysaccharides expressed in intracellular compartments, at the cell surface, and in the extracellular environment where they interact with various molecules to regulate many cellular processes implicated in health and disease. Subversion of GAGs is a pathogenic strategy shared by a wide variety of microbial pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, pa...
متن کاملChemokines and Glycosaminoglycans
Although it was not known at the time, the chemokine field started with the identification of a protein byHeparin Sepharose affinity chromatography, platelet factor 4 (PF4) (1) now called CXCL4 in the systemic nomenclature introduced in 2000. As with many pathways in scientific research, our entry into the field of chemokines and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) was a series of fortuitous coincidences...
