1. Heparan sulphates from normal 3T3 fibroblasts are association-prone as indicated by their affinity for agarose gels substituted with cognate heparan sulphate species. Heparan sulphates from SV40-transformed or polyoma-virus-transformed cells have no affinity for the same gels. 2. Heparan sulphates from the medium, the pericellular and intracellular pools of normal, SV40-transformed and polyoma-transformed 3T3 cells were separated into four subfractions (HS1-HS4) by ion-exchange chromatography. In general, HS1-HS3 were found in cell-derived heparan sulphates, whereas HS3-HS4 were present in the medium. The heparan sulphates from transformed cells were more heterogeneous and of lower charge density than those from the normal counterpart. 3. Degradations via periodate oxidation/alkaline elimination yielded the oligomers glucosamine-(hexuronate-glucosamine)(n)-R with n=1-5 and a large proportion of N-sulphate groups. There was a large contribution of fragments n=4-5 from heparan sulphates of normal cells. These fragments were less common in low-sulphated heparan sulphates of transformed cells. In the case of medium-drived heparan sulphates all species had a low content of fragments n=4-5. 4. The size distribution of (glucuronate-N-acetylglucosamine)(n) regions was assessed after deaminative cleavage. It was broad and ranged from n=1-10 for all heparan sulphate species. In the case of medium-derived heparan sulphates there were distinct differences between normal and transformed cells. In the latter chains the N-acetyl-rich segments were both shorter and longer than in the normal case. The shape of the disaccharide peak was consistent with a lower content of O-sulphate in the heparan sulphates from transformed cells. 5. It was concluded that heparan sulphates from medium or transformed cells exhibit the greatest structural deviation from the normal case. The finding of lower proportions of extended, iduronate/glucuronate-bearing, N-sulphate-rich segments in heparan sulphates of transformed cells was particularly interesting in view of the fact that these elements have been associated with ability to self-interact.
