C-reactive protein (CRP) is thought to play an important role in immunomodulation. The exact biologic function of this pentraxin protein is, however, still unclear. Here we report experiments designed to further characterize the binding properties of CRP. Using purified human CRP it could be shown that CRP immobilized onto polystyrene surfaces or onto latex beads binds distinct plasma glycoproteins including IgG, asialofetuin, asialo-beta 2-glycoprotein I and, likewise, synthetic glycoproteins as a lectin, exhibiting binding specificity for terminal galactosyl residues of the glycoprotein glycans. Binding of CRP to IgA, IgM, IgG, asialofetuin, asialo-beta 2-glycoprotein I and to synthetic glycoproteins requires immobilization onto surfaces of both CRP and the ligand. Fibronectin and fibrinogen are bound by surface-immobilized CRP also in soluble phase. Comparing various mono-, di-, and trisaccharides as competitive inhibitors of the lectin binding activity of CRP, only beta-D-Gal-(1-3)-D-GalNAc, beta-D-Gal-(1-4)-D-GalNAc, and beta-D-Gal-(1-4)-beta-D-Gal-(1-4)-D-GlcNAc had significant inhibitory power at a concentration of 8 mmol/liter. Binding activity of CRP was pH-dependent with an optimum at pH 5 to 6 and was reduced by 90% when pH was shifted from 6 to the physiologic pH value of 7.4. CRP exhibited lectin-like properties with binding specificity for galactosyl residues also when bound to K-562 erythroleukemia cells. It is therefore suggested that CRP immobilized onto surfaces exhibits lectin activity toward galactosyl groups preferentially in a mildly acidic environment as present at sites of inflammation. 相似文献

Thrombospondin interactions with fibronectin and fibrinogen. Mutual inhibition in binding 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Thrombospondin synthesized and secreted by human endothelial cells in culture binds specifically to fibronectin immobilized on Sepharose beads. It can also bind to immobilized platelet-derived thrombospondin but not to immobilized gelatin or albumin. These interactions are not dependent on the presence of divalent cations or of other secreted materials. Purified platelet thrombospondin binds to fibronectin and fibrinogen immobilized on plastic surfaces with dissociation constants of 1.12 +/- 0.37 X 10(-7) M and 1.27 +/- 0.41 X 10(-7) M respectively, and to thrombospondin immobilized on plastic with dissociation constant of 4.82 +/- 1.01 X 10(-7) M. The affinities of interaction are not significantly affected by removal of divalent cations. Soluble fibrinogen inhibits binding of thrombospondin to fibronectin regardless of which of the latter two is surface-bound. Thrombospondin-fibronectin interaction is also inhibited by soluble thrombospondin. The binding of soluble thrombospondin to surface-bound fibrinogen is inhibited both by soluble fibronectin and soluble fibrinogen. These results suggest that thrombospondin plays a role both in platelet-platelet aggregation and in platelet-substratum adhesion, and that it may also take part in the construction of the extracellular matrix. 相似文献

A novel lectin-independent interaction of P fimbriae of Escherichia coli with immobilized fibronectin 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Binding of P fimbriae of uropathogenic Escherichia coli to purified human fibronectin and human placental type IV collagen was studied. In an enzyme immunoassay, purified P fimbriae bound strongly to immobilized intact fibronectin and to the aminoterminal 30-kDa fragment and the 120-140-kDa carboxyterminal fragments of fibronectin. Binding to the gelatin-binding 40-kDa fragment of fibronectin was considerably weaker. No binding to immobilized type IV collagen was seen. The interaction between P fimbriae and immobilized fibronectin was not inhibited by alpha-D-Gal-(1-4)-beta-D-Gal-1-O-Me, a receptor analog of P fimbriae. Moreover, a mutated P fimbria lacking the lectin activity behaved similarly in the adherence assays. Recombinant strains expressing the corresponding cloned fimbriae genes bound to immobilized fibronectin, but no binding to soluble 125I-labelled fibronectin was found. The results suggest that P fimbriae interact with immobilized fibronectin and that the binding mechanism does not involve the lectin activity of the fimbriae. 相似文献

Binding of fibronectins to gangliosides was tested directly using several different in vitro models. Using an enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA), gangliosides were immobilized on polystyrene tubes and relative binding of fibronectin was estimated by alkaline phosphatase activity of conjugated second antibody. Above a critical ganglioside concentration, the gangliosides bound the fibronectin (GT1b congruent to GD1b congruent to GD1a greater than GM1 much greater than GM2 congruent to GD3 congruent to GM3) in approximately the same order of efficiency as they competed for the cellular sites of fibronectin binding in cell attachment assays (Kleinman et al., Proc natl acad sci US 76 (1979) 3367). Alternatively, these same gangliosides bound to immobilized fibronectin. Rat erythrocytes coated with gangliosides GM1, GD1a or GT1b bound more fibronectin than erythrocytes not supplemented with gangliosides. Using fibronectin in which lysine residues were radioiodinated, an apparent Kd for binding to mixed rat liver gangliosides of 7.8 X 10(-9) M was determined. This value compared favorably with the apparent Kd for attachment of fibronectin to isolated plasma membranes from rat liver of 3.7 X 10(-9) M for fibronectin modified on the tyrosine residue, or 6.4 X 10(-9) M for fibronectin modified on lysine residues. As shown previously by Grinnell & Minter (Biochem biophys acta 550 (1979) 92), fibronectin modified on tyrosine residues did not promote spreading and attachment of CHO cells. It did, however, bind to cells. In contrast, lysine-modified fibronectin both bound to cells and promoted cell attachment. Plasma membranes isolated from hepatic tumors in which the higher gangliosides that bind fibronectin were depleted bound 43-75% less [125I]fibronectin than did plasma membranes from control livers. The findings were consistent with binding of fibronectins to gangliosides, including the same gangliosides depleted from cell surfaces during tumorigenesis in the rat. 相似文献

Purified human plasma vitronectin was demonstrated to bind to type I collagen immobilized on plastic as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and by binding of 125I-radiolabeled vitronectin to a collagen-coated plastic surface. Vitronectin did not bind to immobilized laminin, fibronectin, or albumin in these assays. Vitronectin showed similar interaction with all types of collagen (I, II, III, IV, V, and VI) tested. Collagen unfolded by heat treatment bound vitronectin less efficiently than native collagen. Vitronectin-coated colloidal gold particles bound to type I collagen fibrils as shown by electron microscopy. Salt concentrations higher than physiological interfered with the binding of vitronectin to collagen, suggesting an ionic interaction between the two proteins. Binding studies conducted in the presence of plasma showed that purified vitronectin added to plasma bound to immobilized collagen, whereas the endogenous plasma vitronectin bound to collagen less well. Although fibronectin did not interfere with the binding of vitronectin to native collagen, vitronectin inhibited the binding of fibronectin to collagen. These results show that vitronectin has a collagen-binding site(s) which, unlike that of fibronectin, preferentially recognizes triple-helical collagen and that the binding between vitronectin and collagen has characteristics compatible with the occurrence of such an interaction in vivo. 相似文献

The ability of Staphylococcus aureus to adhere to components of the extracellular matrix is an important mechanism for colonization of host tissues during infection. We have previously shown that S. aureus binds elastin, a major component of the extracellular matrix. The integral membrane protein, elastin-binding protein (EbpS), binds soluble elastin peptides and tropoelastin via its surface-exposed N-terminal domain. In this study, we demonstrate that some strains of S. aureus adhere strongly to immobilized human elastin and that this interaction is independent of EbpS but instead is mediated by the fibronectin-binding proteins, FnBPA and FnBPB. Our results show that EbpS mutant cells adhere to elastin-coated plates, whereas the cells negative for FnBPA and FnBPB do not adhere to the plates. Furthermore, only wild-type cells from the exponential phase of growth adhered when FnBPs were expressed maximally. We show that adherence to elastin promoted by FnBPA was not affected by soluble fibronectin, suggesting that the elastin binding domain is distinct from the fibronectin binding regions. Recombinant FnBPA(37-544) (rFnBPA(37-544)) protein corresponding to the A region of FnBPA and anti-FnBPA(37-544) antibodies inhibited FnBPA-mediated bacterial adherence to immobilized elastin. Finally, recombinant A domain proteins, rFnBPA(37-544) and rFnBPB(37-540), bound immobilized elastin dose-dependently and saturably. This interaction was inhibited by soluble elastin peptides, suggesting a specific receptor-ligand interaction. 相似文献

Summary We studied the effects of soluble and immobilized forms of plasma fibronectin on bovine aortic endothelial cell (AEC) proliferation
and attachment. Soluble fibronectin stimulated AEC growth at 10 μg/ml, but at higher concentrations of soluble fibronectin
AEC growth was progressively inhibited. The growth rates of arterial smooth muscle cells (ASMC) and dermal fibroblasts (DF)
were not altered by soluble fibronectin concentrations of 10 to 100 μg/ml. Plasma fibronectin, immobilized by attachment to
culture dish surfaces, had no significant effects on the proliferation of any of the cell types examined. The attachment rates
of AEC were decreased in the presence of 50 μg/ml soluble fibronectin. Immobilized fibronetin increased the rate of AEC attachment,
but had no significant effects on ASMC or DF attachment; however, 12 h after plating there was nearly 100% attachment in all
groups, whether or not fibronectin was present in the system. That soluble and immobilized fibronectins elicit disparate cellular
responses is consistent with published reports of different cell surface receptors for different forms of the protein; in
this manner, cells enmeshed in an interstitial matrix containing immobilized fibronectin could still respond to soluble fibronectin
in the extracellular milieu.

The core protein of the matrix-associated heparan sulfate proteoglycan binds to fibronectin 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

The extracellular matrix of cultured human lung fibroblasts contains one major heparan sulfate proteoglycan. This proteoglycan contains a 400-kDa core protein and is structurally and immunochemically identical or closely related to the heparan sulfate proteoglycans that occur in basement membranes. Because heparitinase does not release the core protein from the matrix of cultured cells, we investigated the binding interactions of this heparan sulfate proteoglycan with other components of the fibroblast extracellular matrix. Both the intact proteoglycan and the heparitinase-resistant core protein were found to bind to fibronectin. The binding of 125I-labeled core protein to immobilized fibronectin was inhibited by soluble fibronectin and by soluble cold core protein but not by albumin or gelatin. A Scatchard plot indicates a Kd of about 2 x 10(-9) M. Binding of the core protein was also inhibited by high concentrations of heparin, heparan sulfate, or chrondroitin sulfate and was sensitive to high salt concentrations. Thermolysin fragmentation of the 125I-labeled proteoglycan yielded glycosamino-glycan-free core protein fragments of approximately 110 and 62 kDa which bound to both fibronectin and heparin columns. The core protein-binding capacity of fibronectin was very sensitive to proteolysis. Analysis of thermolytic and alpha-chymotryptic fragments of fibronectin showed binding of the intact proteoglycan and of its isolated core protein to a protease-sensitive fragment of 56 kDa which carried the gelatin-binding domain of fibronectin and to a protease-sensitive heparin-binding fragment of 140 kDa. Based on the NH2-terminal amino acid sequence analyses of the 56- and 140-kDa fragments, the core protein-binding domain in fibronectin was tentatively mapped in the area of overlap of the two fragments, carboxyl-terminally from the gelatin-binding domain, possibly in the second type III repeat of fibronectin. These data document a specific and high affinity interaction between fibronectin and the core protein of the matrix heparan sulfate proteoglycan which may anchor the proteoglycan in the matrix. 相似文献

C-reactive protein receptors on the human monocytic cell line U-937. Evidence for additional binding to Fc gamma RI. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase protein that binds to components of damage tissue, activates C, and stimulates phagocytic cells. CRP binding to receptors on monocytic and polymorphonuclear phagocytes has been shown. Recently, CRP-binding proteins of 38 to 40 kDa and 57 to 60 kDa have been identified on the human promonocyte cell line U-937 and the mouse macrophage cell line PU5 1.8, respectively. However, analysis of CRP binding to these cells and to peripheral blood leukocytes suggests that additional CRP receptor sites may be present. Because many studies have shown interactions between CRP binding and IgG binding to leukocytes, we have examined further the CRP binding sites on U-937 cells and determined their relationship to the FcR for IgG (Fc gamma R) expressed on these cells. Our results demonstrate specific saturable binding of CRP to peripheral blood monocytes and U-937 cells, which is readily inhibited by aggregated IgG. Monomeric IgG, which binds specifically to Fc gamma RI, inhibited a maximum of 20% of CRP binding to these cells. mAb 197 and mAb IV.3, which block IgG binding to Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RII, respectively, failed to inhibit CRP binding to U-937 cells. Two CRP-binding molecules were identified by precipitation of lysates from surface-labeled U-937 cells and cross-linking experiments. One of these had a molecular mass of 43 to 45 kDa, similar to the molecule previously described as the CRPR on U-937 cells. The other had the same mobility by SDS-PAGE as Fc gamma RI. The identity of this protein with Fc gamma RI was confirmed by the ability of both IgG-Sepharose and CRP-Sepharose to preclear the protein from cell lysates and by inhibition of binding to both IgG-Sepharose and CRP-Sepharose by anti-Fc gamma RI mAb 197. 相似文献

Group B streptococci (GBS) are the leading cause of neonatal pneumonia and meningitis. Adherence of GBS to host tissues may play an important role in the pathogenesis of infection. The host molecules which mediate GBS adherence to host tissues are unknown. Many bacterial pathogens adhere to fibronectin, an important component of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Some pathogens adhere to both immobilized and soluble fibronectin, while others adhere to immobilized fibronectin, but not to soluble fibronectin. Previous data indicated that GBS do not adhere to soluble fibronectin. We studied the ability of GBS to adhere to immobilized fibronectin. Forty-five per cent of the input inoculum of COH1, a virulent GBS isolate, adhered to fibronectin immobilized on polystyrene. COH1 did not adhere to the other ECM proteins tested (laminin, type I collagen, vitronectin, and tenascin). Nine out of nine GBS strains from human sources tested adhered specifically to fibronectin at levels varying from 4–60%. We considered the possibility that GBS were adherent to a contaminant in the fibronectin preparation. Properties of fibronectin, including the presence of an immunologic epitope of fibronectin and binding to collagen, were verified to be properties of the molecule to which GBS adhere. COH1 adhered to fibronectin captured by a monoclonal antibody to fibronectin (FN-15), confirming that the molecule to which GBS adhere bears immunologic determinants of fibronectin. Adherence of COH1 to fibronectin was inhibited by collagen, confirming that the molecule to which GBS adhere binds to collagen. These data strongly suggest that GBS adhere to fibronectin, and not to a contaminant. Protein blot analysis revealed that GBS were adherent to a high-molecular-weight variant of non-reduced fibronectin monomers and dimers. GBS did not adhere to reduced fibronectin monomers. We conclude that GBS adhere to a variant of plasma fibronectin when attached to a solid phase. 相似文献

Binding of Streptococcal Lipoteichoic Acid to Fatty Acid-Binding Sites on Human Plasma Fibronectin 总被引:22,自引:2,他引:20
The ability of Streptococcus pyogenes lipoteichoic acid and palmitic acid to bind to purified human plasma fibronectin was investigated. Initial studies indicated that intact fibronectin formed soluble complexes with lipoteichoic acid, resulting in a change in the mobility of fibronectin in an electrical field. Fibronectin covalently linked to agarose beads bound radiolabeled lipoteichoic acid in the acylated form but not in the deacylated form. An 18-M excess of fibronectin inhibited binding of lipoteichoic acid to the immobilized protein by 92%. Fibronectin-bound [(3)H]lipoteichoic acid could be specifically eluted with unlabeled lipoteichoic acid, as well as by fatty acid-free serum albumin. Serum albumin, which is known to contain fatty acid-binding sites capable of binding to the lipid moieties of lipoteichoic acid, inhibited the binding of lipoteichoic acid to fibronectin in a competitive fashion. The fibronectin-bound lipoteichoic acid could be eluted by 50% ethanol and various detergents but not by 1.0 M NaCl, various amino acids, or sugars. Similarly, radiolabeled palmitic acid adsorbed to fibronectin could be eluted with 50% ethanol but not with 1.0 M NaCl. Fibronectin adsorbed to a column of palmityl-Sepharose was eluted with 50% ethanol in 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate but not with 1.0 M NaCl or 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate alone. The binding of lipoteichoic acid to fibronectin followed first-order kinetics and was saturable. A Scatchard plot analysis of the binding data indicated a heterogeneity of lipoteichoic acid-binding sites similar to that previously found for serum albumin. Nevertheless, fibronectin contains at least one population of high-affinity binding sites for lipoteichoic acid. The binding affinity (nKa approximately 250 muM(-1)) is 2 orders of magnitude greater than the binding affinity of serum albumin. These data suggest that human plasma fibronectin contains specific binding sites for fatty acids and that lipoteichoic acid binds to these sites by way of its glycolipid moiety. 相似文献

Plasma fibronectin is shown by several different criteria to bind to suspended BHK cells if the binding incubations are carried out at 4 °C. In indirect immunofluorescence experiments, fibronectin bound to suspended BHK cells at 4 °C in a punctate distribution over the entire cell surfaces. Little binding, however, was detected on cells incubated with fibronectin at 37 °C. The fibronectin bound to the cells at 4 °C was functionally active, since these cells subsequently were able to spread on tissue culture dishes in protein-free medium, unlike cells preincubated with fibronectin at 37 °C or in the absence of fibronectin. Also, the cell surface receptors for soluble fibronectin and fibronectin-coated beads appeared to be similar, since cells preincubated with fibronectin at 4 °C subsequently bound fewer fibronectin-coated beads than control cells. In biochemical studies with radiolabeled fibronectin, binding of fibronectin to the cells was shown to increase with incubation time up to 4 h. In competition experiments with unlabeled fibronectin, 30% of the binding of radiolabeled fibronectin could be inhibited. 相似文献

We have examined the effects of soluble collagen on the function of fibronectin in baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells. Collagen and its purified alpha1(l) chain noncompetitively inhibited cell spreading on substrates precoated with fibronectin or a 75,000-D cell-binding fragment of fibronectin. Neither preincubation of cells with collagen followed by washing nor the addition of collagen to previously spread cells had any inhibitory effect on cell spreading, which indicates a requirement for the concurrent presence of collagen during the process of spreading. Treatment of collagen or alpha1(l) chain with collagenase abolished the inhibitory effect on fibronectin-mediated cell spreading. However, direct attachment of BHK cells to fibronectin-coated or 75,000-D fragment-coated substrates was not inhibited by collagen or by the alpha1(l) chain. Moreover, the binding of [3H]fibronectin or the 3'-75,000-D fragment to cell surfaces was not inhibited by the presence of soluble collagen, whereas soluble fibronectin inhibited binding. Although the binding of [3H]fibronectin-coated beads to BHK cell surfaces was also not inhibited by collagen, the phagocytosis of such beads was inhibited by the presence of collagen. On the other hand, soluble fibronectin partially inhibited the binding of fibronectin-coated beads but did not inhibit phagocytosis of the beads that did bind. The mechanism of the inhibition of fibronectin function by collagen and the possible interactions of two different kinds of receptors on the cell surface are discussed. 相似文献

Affinity chromatography with actin-Sepharose conjugates of purified human fibronectin, normal human plasma, or serum-free culture fluid from human fibroblasts showed that fibronectin molecules can directly bind to actin. A quantitative recovery of soluble human fibronectin was accomplished by chromatography on actin immobilized on Sepharose beads. Human fibronectin molecules bound to actin-Sepharose were eluted with 0.25--0.35 M potassium bromide, and these molecules competed in a species-specific radioimmunoassay for human fibronectin. The subunits of fibronectin isolated by actin-Sepharose chromatography comigrated in SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with those of electrophoretically homogeneous fibronectin purified by conventional procedures. The efficient direct binding of fibronectin to actin suggests that interactions between these proteins might also take place in vivo but further studies are needed to elucidate the biological significance of this affinity. 相似文献

Evidence that arginyl-glycyl-aspartate peptides and fibrinogen gamma chain peptides share a common binding site on platelets 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15

Synthetic peptides corresponding to the carboxyl terminus of the fibrinogen gamma chain inhibit the binding of fibrinogen, fibronectin, and von Willebrand factor to platelets, yet the active decapeptide sequence has only been found in fibrinogen to date. In contrast, all three proteins contain Arg-Gly-Asp sequences, and peptides containing Arg-Gly-Asp are potent inhibitors of their binding to activated platelets. We have analyzed the relationship between these peptide sets by direct binding assays. H12 (gamma 400-411) inhibited the binding of an Arg-Gly-Asp-containing peptide to platelets with similar dose response to inhibition of fibronectin binding. We have previously reported that GPIIb-IIIa binds to immobilized Arg-Gly-Asp peptides and can be eluted by Arg-Gly-Asp-containing peptides in solution. Both H12 and L10 (gamma 402-411) completely eluted GPIIb-IIIa bound to immobilized Arg-Gly-Asp peptides. Conversely, when GPIIb-IIIa was bound to immobilized L10, either L10 or an Arg-Gly-Asp peptide could elute it. Peptide specificity was established by the failure of Gly-Arg-Gly-Glu-Ser-Pro or acetylated L10 to elute GPIIb-IIIa from the immobilized peptides. These results indicate that the two peptide sets interact with the same receptor which contains GPIIb-IIIa. 相似文献

We have examined the interaction of soluble plasma [3H]fibronectin with fibroblastic cells in suspension. Fibronectin labeled by reductive methylation binds to baby hamster kidney cells in serum-free medium in a time-dependent manner at 4, 22, and 37 degrees C, with half-maximal binding occurring in 12-15 min at 22 degrees C. The binding is saturable and reversible. At least 90% of the cell-associated fibronectin is external to the plasma membrane, as judged by trypsin susceptibility of the bound radioactivity. Scatchard analysis of the concentration dependence of binding indicates the presence of a single class of binding sites, even at low input concentrations of fibronectin. There are approximately 5 +/- 1 X 10(5) sites/cell with an apparent dissociation constant of 8.0 +/- 0.5 X 10(-7) M; thus, the binding of soluble fibronectin to these cells is of moderate affinity. This putative fibroblast fibronectin receptor is resistant to trypsin in the presence of physiological concentrations of divalent cations but is susceptible to trypsin in the presence of 5 mM EDTA. Binding of 0.1 mg/ml [3H]fibronectin is 60-80% inhibited by 8 mg/ml unlabeled fibronectin and 95% inhibited by 1 mg/ml purified 75-kDa fibronectin cell-binding domain, but is unaffected by 1 mg/ml 44-kDa collagen-binding domain or 5 mg/ml ovalbumin. The binding parameters determined in this study further define the fibroblast cell-surface fibronectin receptor. 相似文献

Effects of novel leukotrienes on neutrophil migration 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Fibronectin was chromatographed on immobilized alkanes of various chain lengths. No binding of the protein to the hydrophobic matrix was observed with alkanes containing from 3–7 methylene groups; the protein bound, however, to immobilized alkanes with 8 or 10 methylene groups. Fibronectin could be quantitatively eluted from commercial Octylsepharose with a non-ionic detergent. A gelatin-based plasma expander did not interfere with the binding. Many proteolytic fibronectin fragments also bound to a hydrophobic matix. The results show that fibronectin posesses at least one hydrophobic binding site. 相似文献

Demonstration of high affinity fibronectin receptors on rat hepatocytes in suspension 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

A cell-binding peptide (Mr = 85,000) which lacks the gelatin- and heparin-binding domains, was purified from trypsin-digested fibronectin. Preincubation of rat hepatocytes in suspension with the peptide, inhibited initial attachment of the cells to immobilized fibronectin while attachment to immobilized laminin and collagen was unaffected. 125I-labeled 85-kDa peptide bound to the cells in suspension at 4 degrees C in a time-dependent, saturable, and partially reversible reaction. Scatchard analysis of the binding data indicated a single class of receptors with a Kd of 1.7 X 10(-8) M. The number of binding-sites was approximately 2.8 X 10(5)/cell. Unlabeled 85-kDa peptide inhibited the binding of 125I-labeled 85-kDa peptide 30-fold more effectively than intact fibronectin. These results provide direct evidence for the presence of a domain in the fibronectin molecule which has or may acquire a high affinity for receptors involved in adhesion of hepatocytes to immobilized fibronectin. 相似文献

We have characterized the interaction of homodimeric porcine transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) with affinity-purified human plasma fibronectin. Using a solid-phase binding assay, we have demonstrated that TGF-beta 1 binds to fibronectin immobilized on Immunlon ITM microtiter plates. TGF-beta 1 binding increased with time, reaching a plateau after 4-6 h, and was dependent upon the concentration of both labeled TGF-beta 1 and immobilized fibronectin present. The binding of radiolabeled TGF-beta 1 to fibronectin was saturable and was reduced 75% in the presence of a 100-fold excess of unlabeled TGF-beta 1. TGF-beta 1 bound to fibronectin with an association rate constant (Ka) of 2.96 x 10(3) M-1 s-1 and did not readily dissociate under various conditions. The binding of TGF-beta 1 to fibronectin was insensitive to variations in ionic strength over a range of 0.1-1.0 M NaCl and was relatively insensitive to divalent cation concentration in the range of 0.1-10.0 mM as well. These data suggest that the binding of TGF-beta 1 to fibronectin may not be dependent upon the interaction of charged amino acids within these two molecules. However, the binding of TGF-beta 1 to fibronectin was strongly pH-dependent and binding decreased dramatically below pH 4.0 and above pH 10.0, suggesting that charged amino acids may influence TGF-beta 1/fibronectin interactions. The association of TGF-beta 1 with immobilized fibronectin or other extracellular matrix components and subsequent dissociation under acidic conditions or by an as-yet-unidentified mechanism may play a role in the distribution and/or activity of this potent growth regulator at sites of tissue injury and inflammation in vivo. 相似文献
