Glycosaminoglycans 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 کاملSerum autoantibodies to optic nerve head glycosaminoglycans in patients with glaucoma.
BACKGROUND Serum autoantibodies that cross-react with glycosaminoglycans have been proposed to play a significant role in specific tissue injury in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether serum immunoreactivity to glycosaminoglycans is present in patients with glaucoma who have aberrant serum autoantibodies to DNA, RNA, nuclear proteins, or retinal protein...
متن کاملFibronectin structure and function, and its interactions with glycosaminoglycans.
The glycoprotein fibronectin is a multifunctional molecule that is thought to serve as an adhesive glycoprotein in binding specifically to cells as well as to a variety of extracellular materials, such as collagen and the glycosaminoglycan regions of various proteoglycans (see review by Hynes, 1976; Yamada & Olden, 1978; Mosesson & Amrani, 1980; Ruoslahti et al., 1981). Fibronectin, like collag...
متن کاملPopulation structure and identify of macrofouling organisms on marine structures in the coasts of Chabahar Bay
This study has been carried out in the coast of Chabahar Bay from March, 2013 to Febuary, 2014. We sampled macrofouling organisms in three stations. Overall, 40 species of macrofouling organisms were detected in which Barnacles, sponges, Bryozoans, echinoderms, Polychaetes and Gastropods were the major groups. The majority of biomass and highest density were observed in the first half of the se...
متن کاملEditorial: Glycan diversity in fungi, bacteria, and sea organisms
The cell surface of fungi, bacteria, and sea organisms is highly glycosylated. These glycans are oligo-or polysaccharide molecules that can be secreted or attached to protein or lipids forming glycoconjugates. They present extraordinary structural diversity that could explain their involvement in many fundamental cellular processes, including growth, differentiation, and morphogenesis. Consider...
