| T1 |
0-105 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Molecular cloning and characterization of a dermatan-specific N-acetylgalactosamine 4-O-sulfotransferase. |
| T2 |
106-327 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We have identified and characterized an N-acetylgalactosamine-4-O-sulfotransferase designated dermatan-4-sulfotransferase-1 (D4ST-1) (GenBank(TM) accession number AF401222) based on its homology to HNK-1 sulfotransferase. |
| T3 |
328-553 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The cDNA predicts an open reading frame encoding a type II membrane protein of 376 amino acids with a 43-amino acid cytoplasmic domain and a 316-amino acid luminal domain containing two potential N-linked glycosylation sites. |
| T4 |
554-863 |
Sentence |
denotes |
D4ST-1 has significant amino acid identity with HNK-1 sulfotransferase (21.4%), N-acetylgalactosamine-4-O-sulfotransferase 1 (GalNAc-4-ST1) (24.7%), N-acetylgalactosamine-4-O-sulfotransferase 2 (GalNAc-4-ST2) (21.0%), chondroitin-4-O-sulfotransferase 1 (27.3%), and chondroitin-4-O-sulfotransferase 2 (22.8%). |
| T5 |
864-1017 |
Sentence |
denotes |
D4ST-1 transfers sulfate to the C-4 hydroxyl of beta1,4-linked GalNAc that is substituted with an alpha-linked iduronic acid (IdoUA) at the C-3 hydroxyl. |
| T6 |
1018-1238 |
Sentence |
denotes |
D4ST-1 shows a strong preference in vitro for sulfate transfer to IdoUAalpha1,3GalNAcbeta1,4 that is flanked by GlcUAbeta1,3GalNAcbeta1,4 as compared with IdoUAalpha1,3GalNAcbeta1,4 flanked by IdoUAalpha1,3GalNAcbeta1,4. |
| T7 |
1239-1392 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The specificity of D4ST-1 when assayed in vitro suggests that the addition of sulfate to GalNAc occurs immediately after epimerization of GlcUA to IdoUA. |
| T8 |
1393-1488 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The open reading frame of D4ST-1 is encoded by a single exon located on human chromosome 15q14. |
| T9 |
1489-1553 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Northern blot analysis reveals a single 2.4-kilobase transcript. |
| T10 |
1554-1694 |
Sentence |
denotes |
D4ST-1 message is expressed in virtually all tissues at some level but is most highly expressed in pituitary, placenta, uterus, and thyroid. |
| T11 |
1695-1886 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The properties of D4ST-1 indicate that sulfation of the GalNAc moieties in dermatan is mediated by a distinct GalNAc-4-O-sulfotransferase and occurs following epimerization of GlcUA to IdoUA. |
