Abstract excerpt
The interaction of heparan sulfate with protein ligands depends on unique oligosaccharide sequences containing iduronic acid (IdUA), N-sulfated glucosamine residues, and O-sulfated sugars. To study the role of O-sulfation in greater detail, we isolated a Chinese hamster ovary cell mutant defective in 2-O-sulfation of iduronic acid. The mutant, pgsF-17, was identified by a colony blotting assay in which colonies...
