1 Distinct effects on heparan sulfate structure by different active site mutations in NDST-1. Heparitin Sulfate N-deacetylase and N-sulfotransferase 1 Homo sapiens
2 NDST-1 and -2 have a wide and largely overlapping tissue distribution, but it is not known if they can act on the same heparan sulfate chain. Heparitin Sulfate N-deacetylase and N-sulfotransferase 1 Homo sapiens
3 Structural analyses of heparan sulfate synthesized by these cells and by cells overexpressing wild-type NDST-1 demonstrate that the N-deacetylation step is not only prerequisite but also rate-limiting, determining the degree of N-sulfation. Heparitin Sulfate N-deacetylase and N-sulfotransferase 1 Homo sapiens
4 In addition, we show that oversulfation of heparan sulfate produced by cells tranfected with wild-type NDST-1 or the mutant lacking N-sulfotranferase activity results in decreased sulfation of chondroitin sulfate. Heparitin Sulfate N-deacetylase and N-sulfotransferase 1 Homo sapiens
