Sulfated Glycopeptide Nanostructures for Multipotent Protein Activation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biological systems have evolved to utilize numerous proteins with capacity to bind polysaccharides for the purpose of optimizing their function. A well-known subset of these proteins with binding domains for the highly diverse sulfated polysaccharides are important growth factors involved in biological development and tissue repair. We report here on supramolecular sulfated glycopeptide nanostructures, which display a trisulfated monosaccharide on their surfaces and bind five critical proteins with different polysaccharide-binding domains. Binding does not disrupt the filamentous shape of the nanostructures or their internal β-sheet backbone, but must involve accessible adaptive configurations to interact with such different proteins. The glycopeptide nanostructures amplified signalling of bone morphogenetic protein 2 significantly more than the natural sulfated polysaccharide heparin, and promoted regeneration of bone in the spine with a protein dose that is 100-fold lower than that required in the animal model. These highly bioactive nanostructures may enable many therapies in the future involving proteins.

متن کاملA method for micro-scale isolation of sulfated glycopeptide from tissue.
Micro-scale isolation of sulfated glycopeptide from tissue was achieved by successive application of pronase digestion (Step 1), cetylpyridinium chloride-fractionation (Step 2), crude heparinase digestion or chondroitinase ABC digestion plus nitrous acid treatment (Step 3) and preparative cellulose acetate membrane-electrophoresis (Step 4). By this method, sulfated glycopeptide was obtained in ...

Sulfated titania nanoparticles (SO42-/TiO2 NPs) were synthesized using titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) by the sol-gel method. The structure and morphology of the prepared nanocatalyst was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) methods as well as Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectr...
متن کاملSulfated glycoproteins secreted by human vascular endothelial cells.
Endothelial cells incorporate 35SO4 into a class of glycoproteins which are released from the cell layer into the culture medium. The incorporated 35SO4 was localized on intact oligosaccharide chains which were released from the protein either chemically by hydrazinolysis or enzymatically by a peptide: N-glycosidase activity; thus these 35S-oligosaccharides are presumably N-glycosidically linke...
