19 Glycoprotein Glycoproteins are proteins that contain oligosaccharide chains (glycans) covalently attached to their polypeptide side-chains. The process of attaching the glycans is known as glycosalation. The sugar groups attached to glycoprotein can assist in protein folding or improve a proteins’ stability.

20 Functions of Glycoproteins FunctionGlycoprotein Structural MoleculeCollagen Lubricant and Protective AgentMucins Transport MoleculeTransferrin, ceruloplasmin Immunologic MoleculeImmunoglobins, histocompatibility antigens EnzymeVarious, e.g alkaline phosphatase Cell Attachment-recognition siteProteins involved in cell to cellc ommunication Interact with specific carbohydratesLectins, selectins (cell adhesion lectins), antibodies

21 Functions of Glycoproteins FunctionGlycoprotein ReceptorVarious Proteins in hormone and drug action Affect folding of certain proteinsCalnexin, Calreticulin Regulation of developmentNotch and its analogs, key proteins in development Hemostasis (and thrombosis)Specific glycoproteins on the surface membranes of platelets

22

23 glycosaminoglycans of extracellular matrix lubricants in the synovial fluid of joints cartilage, tendons, ligaments a variety of horny structures formed of dead cells: horn, hair, hoofs, nails

24

25 A typical tetrasaccharide linker (blue) connects a glycosamino-glycan—in this case chondroitin 4-sulfate (orange)—to a Ser residue (pink) in the core protein. The xylose residue at the reducing end of the linker is joined by its anomeric carbon to the hydroxyl of the Ser residue. Proteoglycans: cell surface or extracellular matrix

26

27 One very long molecule of hyaluronan is associated noncovalently with about 100 molecules of the core protein aggrecan Proteoglycan aggregate of the extracellular matrix

28 Interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix with binding sites for both integrin and the proteoglycan

29 linkages in glycoproteins Ser/thr

30 Bacterial lipopolysaccharides

31

32 Lectins, found in all organisms, are proteins that bind carbohydrates with high specificity cell-cell recognition, signaling, adhesion processes, intracellular targeting, deterrent to insects

33 lectin-ligand interactions in lymphocyte movement to the site of an infection Stronger interaction near the site of inflammation

34 Helicobacter pylori Interaction between a bacterial surface lectin and an oligosaccharide of the gastric epithelium

35 Recognition and adhesion at the cell surface
