  • Title: Characterization and N-terminal sequence of a heparan sulphate proteoglycan synthesized by endothelial cells in culture.
    Author: Castillo CJ, Colburn P, Buonassisi V.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1987 Nov 01; 247(3):687-93. PubMed ID: 2962572.
    Abstract:
    We have isolated from the conditioned medium of an established endothelial cell line a heparan sulphate proteoglycan whose involvement in the inhibition of the extrinsic coagulation pathway was reported in previous studies [Colburn & Buonassisi (1982) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 104, 220-227]. The proteoglycan was purified by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography, and appears to be free of contaminating proteins as determined by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of the radioiodinated protein core before and after removal of the glycosaminoglycan chains by treatment with heparitinase. By this procedure the Mr of the protein core was estimated to be 22000. The N-terminal end was sequenced up to amino acid 25. The 21st residue is likely to be glycosylated. Analysis of the purified proteoglycan by gel-filtration chromatography yielded Kd values of 0.2 for the whole molecule and 0.35 for the glycosaminoglycan chains. The structure that emerges from these data is that of a heparan sulphate proteoglycan characterized by a relatively small protein core and few glycosaminoglycan chains.
