heparin | heparin-binding domains HBD-1 and HBD-2 in heparanase, structure overview. The optimal length of a heparin chain required to bridge HBD-1 and HBD-2 for the effective inhibition is known to be an octadecasaccharide, whereas heparin tetrasaccharides and hexasaccharides as well as N-acetylated heparins (N-acetylation higher than 50%) are poor inhibitors of heparanase | Homo sapiens | |

More | human heparanase cDNA encodes the prepro-enzyme, which consists of 543 amino acid residues (65 kDa). Peptide cleavage of the prepro-enzyme at Ala35 generates the latent (pro-heparanase) 65 kDa heparanase. Proteolytic processing of the pro-enzyme removes a 6 kDa linker peptide (Ser110-Gln157), yielding an 8 kDa domain at the N-terminus (Gln36-Glu109) and a noncovalently linked 50 kDa catalytic domain with a lysine residue at the N-terminus (Lys158-Ile543). These two polypeptides form a heterodimer, which is the mature and active form of heparanase | Homo sapiens |

additional information | the enzyme contains two glycosaminoglycan-binding domains. Computational analyses of the catalytic and heparin-binding sites and their interactions with glycosaminoglycans, docked structures are used to propose a model for substrates and conformer selectivity based on the dimensions of the active site, homology modelling, overview.
