Abstract

The cell surface and extracellular matrix polysaccharide, heparan sulfate (HS) conveys chemical information to control crucial biological processes. HS chains are synthesized in a non-template driven process mainly in the Golgi apparatus, involving a large number of enzymes capable of subtly modifying its substitution pattern, hence, its interactions and biological effects. Changes in the localization of HS-modifying enzymes throughout the Golgi were found to correlate with changes in the structure of HS, rather than protein expression levels. Following BFA treatment, the HS-modifying enzymes localized preferentially in COPII vesicles and at the trans-Golgi. Shortly after heparin treatment, the HS-modifying enzyme moved from cis to trans-Golgi, which coincided with increased HS sulfation. Finally, it was shown that COPI subunits and Sec24 gene expression changed. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that knowledge of the ER-Golgi dynamics of HS-modifying enzymes via vesicular trafficking is a critical prerequisite for the complete delineation of HS biosynthesis.
