The composition of Idua−/− HS is markedly different from the wild type, with significant increases in all sulfation modifications. RP-HPLC traces of AMAC-labeled heparinase-generated disaccharides from wild-type and Idua−/− liver (a) and brain (b). Peaks are labeled following comparison to known standards: 1, HexA(2S)-GlcNS(6S); 2, HexA-GlcNS(6S); 3, HexA(2S)-GlcNS; 4, HexA-GlcNS; 5, HexA-GlcNAc(6S); 6, HexA-GlcNAc; *, minor free AMAC peak; U, uncharacterized. c and d, relative amount of HS in Idua−/− liver (c) and brain (d) versus the wild type. Disaccharide composition (e and g) and percentage contribution of each modification (f and h) from wild-type and Idua−/− liver (e and f) and brain (g and h). Results are an average from three independent animals with two separate heparinase digests per animal. n = 3. The bars represent mean ± S.D. p values are quoted using a Student's t test and assuming two-tailed distribution and equal variance. NAc, N-acetylated glucosamine; NS, N-sulfated glucosamine; 2S, 2-O-sulfate group; 6S, 6-O-sulfate group.
