Heparan sulphate (HS) is a cell surface and extracellular matrix carbohydrate extensively modified by differential sulphation. HS interacts physically with canonical fibroblast growth factor (FGF) proteins that signal through the extracellular signal regulated kinase activated kinase (MAPK) pathway. At the mouse midline FGF/ERK signalling drives astroglial precursor somal translocation from the ventricular zone of the cortico-septal boundary (CSB) to the induseum griseum (IG) producing a focus of Slit2 -expressing astroglial guidepost cells essential for inter-hemispheric corpus callosum (CC) axon navigation. Here we investigate the cell and molecular function of a specific form of HS sulphation, 2-O HS sulphation catalysed by the enzyme Hs2st, in midline astroglial development and in regulating FGF protein levels and interaction with HS. Hs2st -/- embryos of either sex exhibit a grossly enlarged IG due to precocious astroglial translocation and conditional Hs2st mutagenesis and ex vivo culture experiments show that Hs2st is not required cell autonomously by CC axons or by the IG astroglial cell lineage but rather acts non cell autonomously to suppress the transmission of translocation signals to astroglial precursors. Rescue of the Hs2st -/- astroglial translocation phenotype by pharmacologically inhibiting FGF signalling shows the normal role of Hs2st is to suppress FGF-mediated astroglial translocation. We demonstrate a selective action of Hs2st on FGF protein by showing that Hs2st (but not Hs6st1 ) normally suppresses the levels of Fgf17 protein in the CSB region in vivo and use a biochemical assay to show Hs2st (but not Hs6st1 ) facilitates physical interaction between Fgf17 protein and HS. cell autonomous mechanism. We further show that Hs2st modification 57 selectively facilitates physical interaction between Fgf17 and HS and supresses Fgf17 protein 58 levels in vivo , strongly suggesting that Hs2st acts selectively on Fgf17 signalling. HS 59 interacts with many signalling proteins potentially encoding numerous selective interactions 60 important in development and disease so this class of mechanism may apply more broadly to 61 other biological systems.
