We after that used biotinylated full-length tau, -synuclein, A42, and huntingtin exon 1 (HttExon1Q50) fibrils to the microarray, and we visualized the bound proteins with an anti-biotin antibody tagged with Cy5. Tau, -synuclein, and A aggregates bound heparin in a concentration-dependent manner (Fig. 2). Huntingtin fibrils exhibited no binding (data not shown) and were not analyzed further. None of the fibrils bound desulfated heparin, suggesting that sulfation is usually a critical component of the aggregateCGAG conversation (Fig. 2). Our results agreed with previous reports that tau, -synuclein, and A, but not Htt, are heparin-binding proteins (1, 7, 13, 14). The different seeds exhibited unique sulfation requirements for binding. Tau efficiently bound heparin and 2-show S.D. We next tested the desulfated heparins as inhibitors of aggregate internalization (Fig. 4). Tau aggregate uptake was strongly inhibited by 2-show S.D. The structural requirements differed for the inhibition of -synuclein and A (Fig. 4). Compared with standard heparin, removal of show S.D. A fibrils exhibited greater sensitivity to shorter polysaccharides, and 12- and 16-mer inhibited uptake. As for tau, the uptake inhibition of A increased with the heparin chain length. -Synuclein aggregates were also dose-dependently inhibited by all fractionated heparins, with greater inhibitory activity of the 12- and 16-mer compared with the shorter heparins (Fig. 5). Thus, depending on their target, heparins required crucial and unique chain lengths to function as uptake inhibitors. We concluded that tau, -synuclein, and A aggregates each have specific structural determinants for GAG binding, including sulfation pattern and size. Structural requirements for inhibition of seeding Amyloid aggregates could gain access to cells by multiple mechanisms, some of which could lead to seeding activity, as well as others not. Thus, we tested heparins in an established seeding assay that consists of a monoclonal biosensor cell collection that stably expresses tau repeat domain name (RD) harboring the disease-associated mutation P301S (Fig. S1), fused to yellow or cyan fluorescent proteins (RD-CFP/YFP) (15, 16). Upon binding to the cell surface, tau aggregates trigger their own internalization and induce intracellular aggregation of RD-CFP/YFP, enabling fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). We used circulation cytometry to quantify the number of cells exhibiting FRET. An -synuclein biosensor that expresses full-length -synuclein with the disease-associated mutation A53T tagged to either CFP or YFP (syn-CFP/YFP) functioned similarly (16). We did not test for any seeding due to the lack of a functional biosensor cell collection. We incubated tau or -synuclein fibrils overnight with heparins, prior to direct exposure of the biosensor cells and incubation for 48 h. To improve yield (due to low seeding efficiency) we re-exposed the -synuclein biosensor cell collection to aggregateCheparin complexes after passaging for an additional 48 h prior to circulation cytometry.

HSPG synthetic genes required for uptake of aggregates The HSPG synthesis pathway is usually a complex hierarchical cascade taking place in the Golgi apparatus, including 30 enzymes. After initial formation of a linkage region, extension enzymes (EXT1 and EXT2) catalyze the addition of alternating models of glucuronic acid and GlcNAc. The dual activity enzyme is required for cellular uptake of tau aggregates (1). EXT1 is usually a glycosyltransferase that polymerizes heparan sulfate chains, and knockout of the gene reduces HSPG expression without affecting other proteoglycan subtypes (chondroitin and dermatan sulfate proteoglycans) (21). EXT1 and EXT2 are co-polymerases, and both are required for proper HS chain elongation (22). EXTL3 similarly is usually a glycosyltransferase involved in the initiation and the elongation of the HS chain, and reduced levels create longer HS with fewer side chains (22).
