Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor and its interaction with heparan sulphate and dermatan sulphate

Abstract: Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/scatter factor (SF) is a unique growth factor, in that it binds both heparan sulphate (HS) and dermatan sulphate (DS). The sequences in HS and DS that specifically interact with and modulate HGF/SF activity have not yet been fully identified. Ascidian DS, which uniquely possesses O-sulphation at C-6 (and not C-4) of its N -acetylgalactosamine unit, was analysed for HGF/SF-binding activity in the biosensor. The kinetic analysis revealed a strong, biologically relevant interaction … Show more

“…Importantly, interaction of NK1 with Met depended on the presence of heparin. Addition of heparin increased the NK1-Met binding signal by Ͼ200-fold, consistent with the fact that Met activation by NK1 requires the presence of heparin as a Met coreceptor (8,9,18,19).…”

“…Indeed, inactive [155] and inhibitory HS structures have been described for some activities [107,146] but, neither binding nor activity depends on sequences and charge alone [107,146], although charge undoubtedly plays an important role bringing the interacting species into proximity [156,157]. However, activity does not depend on the presence of particular 'key sulfates' [158] yet, paradoxically, there is a sizeable and presumably energetically costly biosynthesis apparatus for HS and heparin [159], the regulation of which is currently unclear.…”

“…Although the bioactivities of many cytokines (e.g., basic growth factor-1, fibroblast growth factor, and hepatocyte growth factor) and chemokines (e.g., platelet factor-4, stromal factor-1, IL-8, neutrophil-activating peptide-2, growth-related oncogene-␣, and RANTES) are regulated by glycosaminoglycans (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28), CSF-1 is the only cytokine/growth factor reported to exist as a proteoglycan, and the glycosaminoglycan attachment site consensus sequence of Ser-Gly-X-Gly/Ala in CSF-1 is highly conserved. In addition, the spCSF-1 and sgCSF-1 contribute approximately equally to the total circulating CSF-1, i.e., each generates ϳ50% (14).…”
