![]() ![]() The first modification of the tetrasaccharide linker determines whether the HSGAGs or CSGAGs will be added. Construction of a tetrasaccharide linker that consists of -GlcAβ1–3Galβ1–3Galβ1–4Xylβ1-O-(Ser)-, where xylosyltransferase, β4-galactosyl transferase (GalTI),β3-galactosyl transferase (GalT-II), and β3-GlcA transferase (GlcAT-I) transfer the four monosaccharides, begins synthesis of the GAG modified protein. HSGAG and CSGAG modified proteoglycans first begin with a consensus Ser-Gly/Ala-X-Gly motif in the core protein. The fourth class of GAG, hyaluronic acid, is synthesized by integral membrane synthases, which immediately secrete the dynamically elongated disaccharide chain. Keratan sulfate may modify core proteins through N-linked glycosylation or O-linked glycosylation of the proteoglycan. ![]() Heparin/ heparan sulfate (HSGAGs) and chondroitin sulfate/ dermatan sulfate (CSGAGs) are synthesized in the Golgi apparatus, where protein cores made in the rough endoplasmic reticulum are post-translationally modified via O-linked glycosylation by glycosyltransferases ,forming proteoglycans. GAGs are classified into four groups, based on their core disaccharide structures. ![]() This is because GAG synthesis is not template driven, as are proteins or nucleic acids, but constantly altered by processing enzymes. Glycosaminoglycans vary greatly in molecular mass, disaccharide structure, and sulfation. Mucopolysaccharidoses are a group of metabolic disorders in which abnormal accumulations of glycosaminoglycans occur due to enzyme deficiencies. īecause GAGs are highly polar molecules and attract water the body uses them as lubricants or shock absorbers. GAGs are found in vertebrates, invertebrates and bacteria. The repeating two-sugar unit consists of a uronic sugar and an amino sugar, except in the case of the sulfated glycosaminoglycan keratan, where, in place of the uronic sugar there is a galactose unit. Glycosaminoglycans ( GAGs) or mucopolysaccharides are long, linear polysaccharides consisting of repeating disaccharide units (i.e. For polysaccharide nomenclature see here.
