T1 |
0-130 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Molecular cloning and expression of a third member of the heparan sulfate/heparin GlcNAc N-deacetylase/ N-sulfotransferase family. |
T2 |
131-360 |
Sentence |
denotes |
N-Deacetylation and N-sulfation of N-acetylglucosamine residues in heparan sulfate and heparin initiate a series of chemical modifications that ultimately lead to oligosaccharide sequences with specific ligand binding properties. |
T3 |
361-491 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These reactions are catalyzed by GlcNAc N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase (NDST), a monomeric enzyme with two catalytic activities. |
T4 |
492-617 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Two genes encoding NDST isozymes have been described, one from rat liver (NDST1) and another from murine mastocytoma (NDST2). |
T5 |
618-767 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Both isozymes are expressed in tissues in varying amounts, but their relative contribution to heparan sulfate formation in any one tissue is unknown. |
T6 |
768-856 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We now report the identification of a third member of the NDST family, designated NDST3. |
T7 |
857-995 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A full-length cDNA clone (3.2 kilobase pairs) encoding a 873-amino acid protein was obtained from a human fetal/infant brain cDNA library. |
T8 |
996-1092 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Human NDST3 (hNDST3) has a nucleotide sequence homologous but not identical to hNDST1 and NDST2. |
T9 |
1093-1205 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The deduced amino acid sequence shows 70% and 65% amino acid identity to that of hNDST1 and NDST2, respectively. |
T10 |
1206-1344 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A soluble chimera of hNDST3 and protein A exhibited both N-deacetylase and N-sulfotransferase activity, confirming its enzymatic identity. |
T11 |
1345-1451 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Northern blot analysis of human fetal brain poly(A)+ RNA showed a single transcript of 6.4 kilobase pairs. |
T12 |
1452-1629 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed more restricted tissue expression of hNDST3 than hNDST1 and NDST2, and high levels in brain, liver, and kidney. |
T13 |
1630-1724 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Analysis of Chinese hamster ovary cells revealed expression of NDST1 and NDST2, but not NDST3. |
T14 |
1725-1861 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In a Chinese hamster ovary cell mutant exhibiting reduced N-sulfotransferase activity and reduced sulfation of heparan sulfate (Bame, K. |

T19 |
1904-2066 |
Sentence |
denotes |
264, 8059-8065), expression of NDST1 was greatly reduced, but NDST2 was expressed normally, suggesting that both enzymes are involved in heparan sulfate assembly. |
T20 |
2067-2201 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The discovery of multiple NDST isozymes suggests that the assembly of heparan sulfate is much complicated than previously appreciated. |
