The 3D structure of a complex formed by the acidic fibroblast growth fac-tor (FGF-1) and a specifically designed synthetic heparin hexasaccharide has been determined by NMR spectroscopy. This hexasaccharide can sub-stitute natural heparins in FGF-1 mitogenesis assays, in spite of not indu-cing any apparent dimerization of the growth factor. | ễFEBS Journal Solution NMR structure of a human FGF-1 monomer activated by a hexasaccharide heparin-analogue Angeles Canales1 Rosa Lozano1 Blanca Lopez-Mendez1 Jesus Angulo2 Rafael Ojeda2 Pedro M.

This hexasaccharide can substitute natural heparins in FGF-1 mitogenesis assays in spite of not inducing any apparent dimerization of the growth factor. The use of this well defined synthetic heparin analogue has allowed us to perform a detailed NMR structural analysis of the heparin-FGF interaction overcoming the limitations of NMR to deal with the high molecular mass and heterogeneity of the FGF-1 oligomers formed in the presence of natural heparin fragments. Our results confirm that glycosaminoglycans induced FGF-1 dimerization either in a cis or trans disposition with respect to the heparin chain is not an absolute requirement for biological activity. doi The human and mouse fibroblast growth factor FGF family consists of 18 members that share a common homologous core 1-3 . FGF-1 and -2 properties have often been considered paradigmatic for the whole family. Proteins including FGF-like domains have also been detected in invertebrates 2 . FGFs are involved in a wide variety of physiological processes besides the control of cell .
