Receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase RPTPσ has important functions in modulating neural development and regeneration. Compelling evidence suggests that both heparan sulfate (HS) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) bind to a series of Lys residues located in the first Ig domain of RPTPσ. However, HS promotes and CS inhibits axonal growth. Mutation of these Lys residues abolished binding and signal transduction of RPTPσ to CS, whereas HS binding was reduced, and signaling persi ...[more]
