A cationic motif upstream Engrailed2 homeodomain controls cell internalization through selective interaction with heparan sulfates

Abstract Engrailed2 (En2) is a transcription factor that transfers from cell to cell through unconventional pathways. The poorly understood internalization mechanism of this cationic protein is proposed to require an initial interaction with cell-surface glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). To decipher the ro...
