C5-epimerase and 2-O-sulfotransferase associate in vitro to generate contiguous epimerized and 2-O-sulfated heparan sulfate domains

Résumé

Heparan sulfate (HS), a complex polysaccharide of the cell surface, is endowed with the remarkable ability to bind numerous proteins, and as such, regulates a large variety of biological processes. Protein binding depends on HS structure; however, in the absence of a template driving its biosynthesis, the mechanism by which protein binding sequences are assembled remains poorly known. Here, we developed chemically defined 13C-labeled substrate and NMR based experiments to simultaneously follow in real time the activity of HS biosynthetic enzymes and characterize the reaction products. Using this new approach, we report that the association of C5-epimerase and 2-O-sulfotransferase, which catalyze the production of iduronic acid and its 2-O-sulfation respectively, is necessary to processively generate extended sequences of contiguous IdoA2S-containing disaccharides, whereas modifications are randomly introduced when the enzymes are uncoupled. These data shed light on the mechanisms by which HS motifs are generated during biosynthesis. They support the view that HS structure assembly is controlled not only by the availability of the biosynthetic enzymes but also by their physical association, which in the case of the C5-epimerase and 2-O-sulfotransferase was characterized by an affinity of 80 nM as demonstrated by surface Plasmon Resonance experiments.
