Accession:
Functional site class:
Glycosaminoglycan attachment site
Functional site description:
Proteoglycans are extracellular proteins with glycosaminoglycan chains attached at a serine residue.
ELM Description:
The glycosaminoglycan attachment site is an exposed serine which accepts transfer of xylose from UDP-xylose to the hydroxyl group by protein xylosyl transferase (EC 2.4.2.26).
Pattern: [ED]{0,3}.(S)[GA].
Pattern Probability: 0.0179191
Present in taxon: Metazoa
Interaction Domains:

o Abstract
Proteoglycans are found at the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. They are important for cell communication, playing a role for example in morphogenesis and development. Mutations in some proteoglycans are associated with an inherited predisposition to cancer. The core protein is modified by attachment of the glycosaminoglycan chain at an exposed serine residue. For heparan sulphate, the process begins by transfer of xylose from UDP-xylose to the serine hydroxyl group by protein xylosyl transferase (EC 2.4.2.26) in the Golgi stack. The system appears to have evolved in metazoan animals.
