von Willebrand factor binds specifically to sulfated glycolipids.
The human plasma glycoprotein Factor VIII/von Willebrand factor (vWF) binds specifically and with high affinity to sulfatides (galactosylceramide-I3-sulfate). vWF does not bind to gangliosides, neutral glycolipids, phospholipids, or cholesterol 3-sulfate. Although the largest oligomers of vWF bind preferentially to sulfatides, vWF monomers and dimers also bind but with reduced affinity. vWF bin...
متن کاملThe platelet glycoprotein thrombospondin binds specifically to sulfated glycolipids.
The human platelet glycoprotein thrombospondin (TSP) binds specifically and with high affinity to sulfatides (galactosylceramide-I3-sulfate). Binding of 125I-TSP to lipids from sheep and human erythrocytes and human platelets resolved on thin layer chromatograms indicates that sulfatides are the only lipids in the membrane which bind TSP. Binding to less than 2 ng of sulfatide could be detected...
متن کاملGlycolipids anchor laminin
Boundary proteomics pecialized regions of chromatin flank the edges of transcriptionally silent DNA, separating it from euchromatin. For example, such boundary elements insulate the silent mating type loci ( HMR and HML ) in yeast. The molecular nature of these boundaries has remained obscure. Now, Tackett et al. (page 35) have identified protein complexes that are important for maintaining suc...
متن کاملMalaria sporozoites and circumsporozoite proteins bind specifically to sulfated glycoconjugates
Circumsporozoite (CS) proteins, which densely coat malaria (Plasmodia) sporozoites, contain an amino acid sequence that is homologous to segments in other proteins which bind specifically to sulfated glycoconjugates. The presence of this homology suggests that sporozoites and CS proteins may also bind sulfated glycoconjugates. To test this hypothesis, recombinant P. yoelii CS protein was examin...
متن کاملAgrin Binds to the Nerve–Muscle Basal Lamina via Laminin
Agrin is a heparan sulfate proteoglycan that is required for the formation and maintenance of neuromuscular junctions. During development, agrin is secreted from motor neurons to trigger the local aggregation of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) and other proteins in the muscle fiber, which together compose the postsynaptic apparatus. After release from the motor neuron, agrin binds to the develo...
