Abstract: | In this study, we examined binding of radiolabelled vinculin to proteins separated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, and then electrophoretically transferred onto nitrocellulose sheets. We detected saturable binding of vinculin to polypeptides with apparent Mr's of 215,000, 205,000 and 185,000 in a low ionic strength extract from chicken gizzard membranes. Binding of vinculin to proteins with apparent Mr's of 205,000, 185,000, and 165,000 in human platelets was also detected. In addition, we found that [125I]vinculin binds to unlabelled vinculin and to alpha-actinin, although these interactions appear to be of lower affinity than those with the higher molecular weight proteins. |
