An unusual antithrombin-binding heparin octasaccharide with an additional 3-O-sulfated glucosamine in the active pentasaccharide sequence.

چکیده
The 3-O-sulfation of N-sulfated glucosamine is the last event in the biosynthesis of heparin/heparan sulfate, giving rise to the antithrombin-binding pentasaccharide sequence AGA*IA, which is largely associated with the antithrombotic activity of these molecules. The aim of the present study was the structural and biochemical characterization of a previously unreported AGA*IA*-containing octasaccharide isolated from the very-low-molecular-mass heparin semuloparin, in which both glucosamine residues of the pentasaccharide moiety located at the non-reducing end bear 3-O-sulfate groups. Two-dimensional and STD (saturation transfer difference) NMR experiments clearly confirmed its structure and identified its ligand epitope binding to antithrombin. The molecular conformation of the octasaccharide-antithrombin complex has been determined by NMR experiments and docking/energy minimization. The presence of the second 3-O-sulfated glucosamine in the octasaccharide induced more than one order of magnitude increase in affinity to antithrombin compared to the pentasaccharide AGA*IA.

Oligosaccharides with different affinities for antithrombin were isolated following partial deaminative cleavage of pig mucosal heparin with nitrous acid. The smallest high-affinity component obtained was previously identified as an octasaccharide with the predominant structure: (Formula: see text). The interaction of this octasaccharide, and of deca- and dodecasaccharides containing the same o...
متن کاملEvaluation of critical groups required for the binding of heparin to antithrombin.
We have examined the quantitative importance of various monosaccharide residues of an octasaccharide domain of heparin that are responsible for the binding of this oligosaccharide to antithrombin. Different fragments of the octasaccharide were prepared by enzymatic digestion and the avidities of these oligosaccharides for antithrombin were determined by equilibrium dialysis. The data show that ...

Products obtained by partial depolymerization of pig mucosal heparin with nitrous acid were fractionated by affinity chromatography on immobilized antithrombin. A high affinity octasaccharide fraction was recovered and reduced with sodium [3H]borohydride, yielding terminal 2,5-anhydro-~-[l-~H]mannitol residues. Partial N-desulfation of this material by treatment with aqueous dimethylsulfoxide r...
متن کاملUsing a 3-O-sulfated heparin octasaccharide to inhibit the entry of herpes simplex virus type 1.
Heparan sulfate (HS) is a highly sulfated polysaccharide and is present in large quantities on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) utilizes a specialized cell surface HS, known as 3-O-sulfated HS, as an entry receptor to establish infection. Here, we exploit an approach to inhibiting HSV-1 infection by using a 3-O-sulfated octasaccharide, mimick...
