Abstract excerpt
Heparan Sulfate (HS) is a cell signaling molecule linked to pathological processes ranging from cancer to viral entry, yet fundamental aspects of its biosynthesis remain incompletely understood. Here, the binding preferences of the uronyl 2-O-sulfotransferase (HS2ST) are examined with variably-sulfated hexasaccharides. Surprisingly, heavily sulfated oligosaccharides formed by later-acting sulfotransferases bind...
