Background: N-Deacetylase/N-Sulfotransferase 2/NDST2

Heparan sulfate is a highly sulfated polysaccharide that can be found on the cell surface and within extracellular matrix. It is typically covalently attached to the protein core of proteoglycans, such as syndecans and glypicans (1, 2). Heparin, on the other hand, is a highly sulfated version of heparan sulfate and is predominantly found in mast cells. Both heparin and heparan sulfate contain disaccharide repeats of uronic acid and N‑acetylglucosamine and are modified by the same sulfotransferases (1, 2). The uronic acid residues can be sulfated at the 2-O position by heparan sulfate 2-O sulfotransferase (HS2ST). The N‑acetylglucosamine residues can be sulfated at the N, 3-O, and 6-O positions by N‑deacetylase/N-sulfotransferases (NDSTs), heparan sulfate 3‑O sulfotransferases and heparan sulfate 6‑O sulfotransferases, respectively. All these enzymes are Golgi resident proteins. NDST-mediated modifications are believed to occur before modifications by other sulfotransferases (3). There are four NDSTs in the human genome and all are dual enzymes with both deacetylase and sulfotransferase domains (4, 5). While NDST1 is mainly responsible for heparan sulfate synthesis, NDST2 is mainly responsible for the synthesis of heparin in mast cells (5). Disrupting the NDST2 gene causes production failure of fully sulfated heparin (6, 7).
