pH-dependent and dynamic interactions of cystatin C with heparan sulfate
Zhang et al. identify Cystatin C as a new heparan sulfate (HS) binding protein, however only at acidic pH (≤6.5). They further identify two isolated HS binding motifs on Cystatin C that are required to come together to form a complete HS-binding site, which is a unique property among known HS bindin...
