Differential structural requirements of heparin and heparan sulfate proteoglycans that promote binding of basic fibroblast growth factor to its receptor.
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) are obligatory for receptor binding and mitogenic activity of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). The capacity of various species of heparin and heparan sulfate (HS) to promote bFGF receptor binding was investigated using both Chinese hamster ovary mutant cells deficient in cell surface HSPG and a soluble bFGF receptor-alkaline phosphatase fusion protein....
متن کاملHeparin inhibits the binding of basic fibroblast growth factor to cultured human aortic smooth-muscle cells.
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and its specific receptors have diverse roles on a variety of cell types, such as the induction of vascular smooth-muscle cell proliferation which contributes to restenosis after coronary balloon angioplasty. bFGF is also known to interact with heparan sulphate proteoglycans present on the cell surface or in the extracellular matrix. In this study, the bind...
متن کاملMolecular characteristics of fibroblast growth factor-fibroblast growth factor receptor-heparin-like glycosaminoglycan complex.
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family plays key roles in development, wound healing, and angiogenesis. Understanding of the molecular nature of interactions of FGFs with their receptors (FGFRs) has been seriously limited by the absence of structural information on FGFR or FGF-FGFR complex. In this study, based on an exhaustive analysis of the primary sequences of the FGF family, we determined t...
متن کاملEnergetics of heparin binding to human acidic fibroblast growth factor.
The binding of low-molecular-weight heparin to an amino-terminal-truncated, 132-amino-acid, human acidic fibroblast growth factor form has been studied by isothermal titration calorimetry. This technique yields values for the enthalpy change and equilibrium constant, from which the Gibbs energy and entropy change are also calculated. Experiments in different buffers and pH values show that the ...
متن کاملHeparin increases the affinity of basic fibroblast growth factor for its receptor but is not required for binding.
The role of heparin or heparan sulfates in the interaction of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) with its high affinity receptor were investigated using purified extracellular ligand-binding region of FGF receptor-1 (FGFR-1) and intact receptors expressed in a myeloid cell line (32D) that does not express detectable levels of heparan sulfate proteoglycans or in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) ce...
