Molecular recognition of glycosaminoglycans and their sulfated deep-sea bacteria-derived mimetics, diabolican and infernan, by RANK, RANKL and OPG
Abstract
Maintenance of bone function and remodelling is a strictly controlled physiological process that is modulated by bone forming and resorbing, mediated by osteoblasts and osteoclasts respectively. A signalling axis involved in controlling this process involves receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B and osteoprotegerin.
The two former proteins are vital in osteoclastogenesis whilst osteoprotegerin serves a modulatory role, interfering with the interaction of the other two proteins. The binding of these proteins by glycosaminoglycans has been identified, however the atomistic details are poorly understood. Here, compu
