Receptor-ligand interactions govern a wide array of biological pathways, facilitating a cells ability to interrogate and integrate information from the extracellular space. Here, using an unbiased genome-wide knockout screen, we identify heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) as a major component in the organizational mechanism of cell surface glycoRNA and cell surface RNA binding proteins (csRBPs). Cleavage of mature heparan sulfate chains, knockout of N- and 6-O-sulfotransferases, overexpression of endo-6-O-sulfatases, or the addition of exogenous heparan sulfate chains with high 2-O sulfation result in marked loss in glycoRNA-csRBP clustering in U2OS cells. Functionally, we provide evidence that signal transduction by HS-dependent growth factors such as VEGF-A165 is regulated by cell surface RNAs, and in vitro VEGF-A165, selectively interacts with glycoRNAs. Our findings uncover a new molecular mechanism of controlling signal transduction of specific growth factors across the plasma membrane by the regulated assembly of glycoRNAs, csRBPs, and heparan sulfate clusters.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
