Abstract
Because of structural and cellular differences (ie, degrees of matrix abundance and cross-linking, mural cell density, and adventitia), large and medium-sized vessels, in comparison to capillaries, react in a unique manner to stimuli that induce vascular disease. A stereotypical vascular injury response is ECM (extracellular matrix) remodeling that occurs particularly in larger vessels in response to injurious stimuli, such as elevated angiotensin II, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, genetic deficiencies, inflammatory cell infiltration, or exposure to proinflammatory mediators. Even with substantial and prolonged vascular damage, large- and medium-sized arteries, persist, but become modified by (1) changes in vascular wall cellularity; (2) modifications in the differentiation status of endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, or adventitial stem cells (each can become activated); (3) infiltration of the vascular wall by various leukocyte types; (4) increased exposure to critical growth factors and proinflammatory mediators; and (5) marked changes in the vascular ECM, that remodels from a homeostatic, prodifferentiation ECM environment to matrices that instead promote tissue reparative responses. This latter ECM presents previously hidden matricryptic sites that bind integrins to signal vascular cells and infiltrating leukocytes (in coordination with other mediators) to proliferate, invade, secrete ECM-degrading proteinases, and deposit injury-induced matrices (predisposing to vessel wall fibrosis). In contrast, in response to similar stimuli, capillaries can undergo regression responses (rarefaction). In summary, we have described the molecular events controlling ECM remodeling in major vascular diseases as well as the differential responses of arteries versus capillaries to key mediators inducing vascular injury.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease that exerts significant impacts on personal life quality, and cartilage tissue engineering is a practical treatment in clinical. Various growth factors are involved in cartilage regeneration and play important roles therein, which is the focus of current cartilage repair strategy. To compensate for the purification difficulty, high cost, poor metabolic stability, and circulating dilution of natural growth factors, the concept of functional motifs (also known as mimetic peptides) from original growth factor was introduced in recent studies. Here, we reviewed the selection mechanisms, biological functions, carrier scaffolds, and modification methods of growth factor-related functional motifs, and evaluated the repair performance in cartilage tissue engineering. Finally, the prospects of functional motifs in researches and clinical application were discussed.

Abstract
Cytophilic (cell-adhesive) materials are very important for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, for engineering hierarchically organized tissue structures comprising different cell types, cell-specific attachment and guidance are decisive. In this context, materials made of recombinant spider silk proteins are promising scaffolds, since they exhibit high biocompatibility, biodegradability, and the underlying proteins can be genetically functionalized. Here, previously established spider silk variants based on the engineered Araneus diadematus fibroin 4 (eADF4(C16)) are genetically modified with cell adhesive peptide sequences from extracellular matrix proteins, including IKVAV, YIGSR, QHREDGS, and KGD. Interestingly, eADF4(C16)-KGD as one of 18 tested variants is cell-selective for C2C12 mouse myoblasts, one out of 11 tested cell lines. Co-culturing with B50 rat neuronal cells confirms the cell-specificity of eADF4(C16)-KGD material surfaces for C2C12 mouse myoblast adhesion.

Abstract
Adhesion to material surfaces is crucial for almost all organisms regarding subsequent biological responses. Mammalian cell attachment to a surrounding biological matrix is essential for maintaining their survival and function concerning tissue formation. Conversely, the adhesion and presence of microbes interferes with important multicellular processes of tissue development. Therefore, tailoring bioselective, biologically active, and multifunctional materials for biomedical applications is a modern focus of biomaterial research. Engineering biomaterials that stimulate and interact with cell receptors to support binding and subsequent physiological responses of multicellular systems attracted much interest in the last years. Further to this, the increasing threat of multidrug resistance of pathogens against antibiotics to human health urgently requires new material concepts for preventing microbial infestation and biofilm formation. Thus, materials exhibiting microbial repellence or antimicrobial behaviour to reduce inflammation, while selectively enhancing regeneration in host tissues are of utmost interest. In this context, protein-based materials are interesting candidates due to their natural origin, biological activity, and structural properties. Silk materials, in particular those made of spider silk proteins and their recombinant counterparts, are characterized by extraordinary properties including excellent biocompatibility, slow biodegradation, low immunogenicity, and non-toxicity, making them ideally suited for tissue engineering and biomedical applications. Furthermore, recombinant production technologies allow for application-specific modification to develop adjustable, bioactive materials. The present review focusses on biological processes and surface interactions involved in the bioselective adhesion of mammalian cells and repellence of microbes on protein-based material surfaces. In addition, it highlights the importance of materials made of recombinant spider silk proteins, focussing on the progress regarding bioselectivity.

Abstract
Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) offer a promising tool for regenerative medicine. The clinical application of PSCs inevitably requires a large-scale culture in a highly defined environment. The present study aimed to devise defined coating materials for the efficient adhesion and proliferation of human PSCs (hPSCs). We tested the activity of seven fibronectin-derived peptides and three laminin-derived peptides for the attachment and proliferation of hPSCs through their immobilization on the bottom of culture dishes by creating a fusion protein with the mussel adhesion protein. Among the extracellular matrix (ECM) mimetics tested, one fibronectin-derived peptide, PHSRN-GRGDSP, significantly promoted adhesion, enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity, and increased pluripotency-related gene expression in hPSCs compared to Matrigel. Furthermore, co-immobilization of a particular canofin peptide derived from fibroblast growth factor 2 increased pluripotency marker expression, which may offer the possibility of culture without growth factor supplementation. Our findings afford a novel defined condition for the efficient culture of hPSCs and may be utilized in future clinical applications.

Influence of cell adhesive molecules attached onto PEG-lipid-modified fluid surfaces on cell adhesion. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2018; 175:375-383.

Abstract
The involvement of intercellular interactions in various biological events indicates the importance of studying cell-cell interactions using fluid model surfaces. Here, we propose a fluid surface composed of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) and poly(ethylene glycol)-conjugated phospholipid (PEG-lipid) derivatives, which can be an alternative to supported lipid membranes. The modification of SAM surfaces with PEG-lipids carrying functional peptides resulted in the formation of the fluid surfaces with different mobility, which was quantitatively determined by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP). Different types of fluid surfaces with calculated diffusion coefficients between 0.9 ± 0.25 and 0.16 ± 0.03 μm2/sec for PEG-lipids derivatives were fabricated, onto which arginylglycylaspartate (RGD) peptides were immobilized for cell adhesion, and compared to solid surfaces with the same surface density of RGD peptides. The fluid surfaces revealed that cell adhesions of epithelial cells (MCF-10 A) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) could not be established on the surfaces with higher fluidity, while cells could adhere onto surfaces with lower fluidity, where the lateral diffusion of PEG-lipids was approximately 20 times lower, and solid surfaces. Interestingly, cells that adhered onto the surface with lower fluidity proliferated at a normal rate while maintaining their round morphology, which was a different shape from that observed on solid surfaces. Thus, the scaffold fluidity greatly influenced cell adhesion behaviors, demonstrating that it is an important parameter for designing novel biomimetic scaffolds for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Directed cell migration is an important step in effective wound healing and requires the dynamic control of the formation of cell-extracellular matrix interactions. Plasma fibronectin is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein present in blood plasma that plays crucial roles in modulating cellular adhesion and migration and thereby helping to mediate all steps of wound healing. In order to seek safe sources of plasma fibronectin for its practical use in wound dressing, we isolated fibronectin from human (homo) and porcine plasma and demonstrated that both have a similar ability as a suitable substrate for the stimulation of cell adhesion and for directing cell migration. In addition, we also defined the N-glycosylation sites and N-glycans present on homo and porcine plasma fibronectin. These N-glycosylation modifications of the plasma fibronectin synergistically support the integrin-mediated signals to bring about mediating cellular adhesion and directed cell migration. This study not only determines the important function of N-glycans in both homo and porcine plasma fibronectin-mediated cell adhesion and directed cell migration, but also reveals the potential applications of porcine plasma fibronectin if it was applied as a material for clinical wound healing and tissue repair.

Abstract
Upon binding to the extracellular matrix protein, fibronectin, αV-class and α5β1 integrins trigger the recruitment of large protein assemblies and strengthen cell adhesion. Both integrin classes have been functionally specified, however their specific roles in immediate phases of cell attachment remain uncharacterized. Here, we quantify the adhesion of αV-class and/or α5β1 integrins expressing fibroblasts initiating attachment to fibronectin (≤120 s) by single-cell force spectroscopy. Our data reveals that αV-class integrins outcompete α5β1 integrins. Once engaged, αV-class integrins signal to α5β1 integrins to establish additional adhesion sites to fibronectin, away from those formed by αV-class integrins. This crosstalk, which strengthens cell adhesion, induces α5β1 integrin clustering by RhoA/ROCK/myosin-II and Arp2/3-mediated signalling, whereas overall cell adhesion depends on formins. The dual role of both fibronectin-binding integrin classes commencing with an initial competition followed by a cooperative crosstalk appears to be a basic cellular mechanism in assembling focal adhesions to the extracellular matrix.

Abstract
Overexpressed cell-surface receptors are hallmarks of many disease states and are often used as markers for targeting diseased cells over healthy counterparts. Cell adhesion peptides, which are often derived from interacting regions of these receptor-ligand proteins, mimic surfaces of intact proteins and, thus, have been studied as targeting agents for various payloads to certain cell targets for cancers and autoimmune diseases. Because many cytotoxic agents in the free form are often harmful to healthy cells, the use of cell adhesion peptides in targeting their delivery to diseased cells has been studied to potentially reduce required effective doses and associated harmful side-effects. In this review, multiple cell adhesion peptides from extracellular matrix and ICAM proteins were used to selectively direct drug payloads, signal-inhibitor peptides, and diagnostic molecules, to diseased cells over normal counterparts. RGD constructs have been used to improve the selectivity and efficacy of diagnostic and drug-peptide conjugates against cancer cells. From this precedent, novel conjugates of antigenic and cell adhesion peptides, called Bifunctional Peptide Inhibitors (BPIs), have been designed to selectively regulate immune cells and suppress harmful inflammatory responses in autoimmune diseases. Similar peptide conjugations with imaging agents have delivered promising diagnostic methods in animal models of rheumatoid arthritis. BPIs have also been shown to generate immune tolerance and suppress autoimmune diseases in animal models of type-1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. Collectively, these studies show the potential of cell adhesion peptides in improving the delivery of drugs and diagnostic agents to diseased cells in clinical settings.

Abstract
Over a thousand individual Fibronectin type III (FnIII) domain sequences, extracted from more than 60 different FnIII-dependent protein super-structures, were downloaded from curated database resources. Three regions of extreme sequence conservation within the well-characterized FnIII β-sandwich structure were respectively defined by near absolute conservation of a tryptophan (Trp) in β-strand-B, tyrosines (Tyr) in both β-strand-C and β-strand-F, and a leucine (Leu) residue in the unstructured region immediately preceding β-strand-F. Employing these four conserved landmarks, the entire FnIII sequence dataset was vertically registered to align the three conserved regions, and the cumulative distribution of all other amino acid functionality was determined and plotted relative to these landmark residues. Conserved aromatic sites were each found to be flanked by aliphatic residues that assure localization of these sites to the inaccessible hydrophobic interface between major sheet structures. Mapping the location of conserved aromatic sites in numerous PDB structures demonstrated the consistent pair-wise co-localization of the indole side-chain of the conserved strand-B Trp site to within 0.35 nm of the phenolic side-chain of the strand-C Tyr site located 8-14 amino acids distal. Likewise, the side-chain of the strand-F Tyr site co-localized to within 0.45 nm of the aliphatic side-chain of the conserved Leu that uniformly precedes it by six residues. While classic hydropathy-based theories would deem the "burying" of Tyr and Trp side-chains and/or their association with hydrophobic FnIII core residues thermodynamically unnecessary, alternative contributions of conserved Trp and Tyr residues, and particularly the role of the absolutely conserved tyrosine phenolic -OH in native FnIII structure-function are considered. A more global role for conserved FnIII aromaticity is also discussed in light of the aromatic conservation observed in other well-established protein families.

Abstract
F-type lectin is an important type of pattern recognition receptor that can recognize and bind carbohydrate moieties on the surface of potential pathogens through its carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs). This paper reports the cloning of an F-type lectin (designated as pfF-type lectin) from the pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata) using rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) PCR. The full-length cDNA of this pfF-type lectin contains an open reading frame (ORF) of 588 bp coding for196 amino acids. A signal peptide at the N-terminus of the deduced polypeptide was predicted by the signal P program and the cleavage site is located between the positions of Gly(19)and Tyr(20). Conserved domain search at NCBI revealed the pfF-type lectin domain extends from Lys(55)to Val(192). Semi-quantitative analysis in adult tissues showed that the pfF-type lectin mRNA was abundantly expressed in haemocytes and gill and rarely expressed in other tissues tested. After challenge with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), expression of pfF-type lectin mRNA in haemocytes was increased, reaching the highest level at 4 h, then dropping to basal levels at 36 h. These results suggest that F-type lectin play a critical role in the innate immune system of the pearl oyster P. fucata.

Abstract
The development of screening approaches to identify novel affinity ligands has paved the way for a new generation of molecular targeted nanomedicines. Conventional methods typically bias the display of the target protein to ligands during the screening process. We have developed an unbiased multiplex "beads on a bead" strategy to isolate, characterize, and validate high affinity ligands from OBOC libraries. Novel non-RGD peptides that target α(v)β(3) integrin were discovered that do not affect cancer or endothelial cell biology. The peptides identified here represent novel integrin-targeted agents that can be used to develop targeted nanomedicines without the risk of increased tumor invasion and metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conjugated polymers have been developed as effective materials for interfacing prosthetic device electrodes with neural tissue. Recent focus has been on the development of conjugated polymers that contain biological components in order to improve the tissue response upon implantation of these electrodes. METHODS Carboxylic acid-functionalized 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOTacid) monomer was synthesized in order to covalently bind peptides to the surface of conjugated polymer films. EDOTacid was copolymerized with EDOT monomer to form stable, electrically conductive copolymer films referred to as PEDOT-PEDOTacid. The peptide GGGGRGDS was bound to PEDOT-PEDOTacid to create peptide functionalized PEDOT films. RESULTS The PEDOT-PEDOTacid-peptide films increased the adhesion of primary rat motor neurons between 3 and 9 times higher than controls, thus demonstrating that the peptide maintained its biological activity. CONCLUSIONS The EDOT-acid monomer can be used to create functionalized PEDOT-PEDOTacid copolymer films that can have controlled bioactivity. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE PEDOT-PEDOTacid-peptide films have the potential to control the behavior of neurons and vastly improve the performance of implanted electrodes.

Abstract
The cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) punch holes in target cell membranes through a highly regulated process. Streptococcus mitis lectinolysin (LLY) exhibits another layer of regulation with a lectin domain that enhances the pore-forming activity of the toxin. We have determined the crystal structures of the lectin domain by itself and in complex with various glycans that reveal the molecular basis for the Lewis antigen specificity of LLY. A small-angle X-ray scattering study of intact LLY reveals the molecule is flat and elongated with the lectin domain oriented so that the Lewis antigen-binding site is exposed. We suggest that the lectin domain enhances the pore-forming activity of LLY by concentrating toxin molecules at fucose-rich sites on membranes, thus promoting the formation of prepore oligomers on the surface of susceptible cells.

Abstract
Peptide-modified cryptophane enables sensitive detection of protein analytes using hyperpolarized 129Xe NMR spectroscopy. Here we report improved targeting and delivery of cryptophane to cells expressing αvβ3 integrin receptor, which is overexpressed in many human cancers. Cryptophane was functionalized with cyclic RGDyK peptide and Alexa Fluor 488 dye, and cellular internalization was monitored by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Competitive blocking assays confirmed cryptophane endocytosis through an αvβ3 integrin receptor-mediated pathway. The peptide-cryptophane conjugate was determined to be nontoxic in normal human lung fibroblasts by MTT assay at the micromolar cryptophane concentrations typically used for hyperpolarized 129Xe NMR biosensing experiments. Flow cytometry revealed 4-fold higher cellular internalization in cancer cells overexpressing the integrin receptor compared to normal cells. Nanomolar inhibitory concentrations (IC50 = 20-30 nM) were measured for cryptophane biosensors against vitronectin binding to αvβ3 integrin and fibrinogen binding to αIIbβ3 integrin. Functionalization of the conjugate with two propionic acid groups improved water solubility for hyperpolarized 129Xe NMR spectroscopic studies, which revealed a single resonance at 67 ppm for the 129Xe-cryptophane-cyclic RGDyK biosensor. Introduction of αIIbβ3 integrin receptor in detergent solution generated a new "bound" 129Xe biosensor peak that was shifted 4 ppm downfield from the "free" 129Xe biosensor.

Abstract
In invertebrates and vertebrates, carbohydrate-binding proteins (lectins) play an important role in innate immunity against microbial invasion. In the present study, we report the cloning of an F-type lectin (designated as PmF-lectin) from pearl oyster (Pinctada martensii) using a combination of expression sequence tag (EST) analysis and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) PCR. The full-length cDNA of PmF-lectin contains an open reading frame (ORF) of 579 bp coding for192 amino acids. The deduced polypeptide possesses six conserved residues of the F-lectin family critical for the formation of disulfide bonds (Cys⁴³-Cys¹⁴³, Cys⁷⁵-Cys⁷⁶ and Cys¹⁰²-Cys¹¹⁹). Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) analyses in adult tissues showed that the PmF-lectin mRNA was abundantly expressed in haemocytes and gill, moderately expressed in the mantle, and rarely expressed in other tissues tested. After challenge with Vibrio alginolyticus, expression of PmF-lectin mRNA in haemocytes was dramatically up-regulated, reaching the highest level (13-fold higher than that of the control group) at 3 h post challenge, and then dropped gradually. These results suggest that PmF-lectin is a member of the F-lectin family and is involved in the innate immune response in pearl oyster.

Abstract
Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) is an icosahedral plant virus with a diameter of 28-30 nm that can be isolated in gram quantities from turnip or Chinese cabbage inexpensively. In this study, TYMV combined with spatially addressable surface chemistries was selected as a prototype bionanoparticle for modulating patterns of cell adhesion, morphology, and proliferation. We exploited the chemical reactivity of TYMV using the mild conditions of Cu(I) catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction, the best example of "click" chemistry. Oligo-ethylene glycol (OEG) short chain, coumarintriazole, and RGD-containing peptide were grafted on the surface of TYMV via carbodiimide activation and CuAAC reaction. The bioconjugation to intact viral particles was confirmed by MS, TEM, FPLC, and SDS-PAGE with fluorescence visualization analysis. Therefore, this method is a generally useful means of incorporating various types of functionalities onto the TYMV surface. Further studies were done to learn the behavior of NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells on the modified or unmodified TYMV surfaces. OEG-modified TYMV surfaces retarded cell attachment and growth, while cell adhesion, spreading, and proliferation were dramatically enhanced on RGD-modified TYMV surfaces. Compared with RGD immobilized 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane-coated glass surface, the cells are more ready to spread fully and proliferate on TYMV-RGD coated surface, which thus provides a more cell-friendly environment with nanometer-scale surface features. This illustrates the potential application of plant virus based materials in tissue engineering, drug delivery, and biosensing.

Abstract
Most mammalian cells must adhere to the extracellular matrix (ECM) to maintain proper growth and development. Fibronectin is a predominant ECM protein that engages integrin cell receptors through its Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) and Pro-His-Ser-Arg-Asn (PHSRN) peptide binding sites. To study the roles these motifs play in cell adhesion, proteins derived from the 9th (containing PHSRN) and 10th (containing RGD) type III fibronectin domains were engineered to be in frame with cutinase, a serine esterase that forms a site-specific, covalent adduct with phosphonate ligands. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) that present phosphonate ligands against an inert background of tri(ethylene glycol) groups were used as model substrates to immobilize the cutinase-fibronectin fusion proteins. Baby hamster kidney cells attached efficiently to all protein surfaces, but only spread efficiently on protein monolayers containing the RGD peptide. Cells on RGD-containing protein surfaces also displayed defined focal adhesions and organized cytoskeletal structures compared to cells on PHSRN-presenting surfaces. Cell attachment and spreading were shown to be unaffected by the presence of PHSRN when compared to RGD alone on SAMs presenting higher densities of protein, but PHSRN supported an increased efficiency in cell attachment when presented at low protein densities with RGD. Treatment of suspended cells with soluble RGD or PHSRN peptides revealed that both peptides were able to inhibit the attachment of FN10 surfaces. These results support a model wherein PHSRN and RGD bind competitively to integrins--rather than a two-point synergistic interaction--and the presence of PHSRN serves to increase the density of ligand on the substrate and therefore enhance the sticking probability of cells during attachment.

Abstract
Cryptophane-A has generated considerable interest based on its high affinity for xenon and potential for creating biosensors for (129)Xe nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Here, we report the cellular delivery of three peptide-functionalized cryptophane biosensors. Cryptophanes were delivered using two cationic cell penetrating peptides into several human cancer and normal cell lines. An RGD peptide targeting alpha(v)beta(3) integrin receptor was shown to increase specificity of cryptophane cell uptake. Labeling the peptides with Cy3 made it possible to monitor cellular delivery using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The peptido-cryptophanes were determined to be relatively nontoxic by MTT assay at the micromolar cryptophane concentrations that are required for (129)Xe NMR biosensing experiments.

Abstract
Most patients (80%) with ovarian cancer (OvCa) present with metastatic disease. Attachment of OvCa cells to peritoneum and omentum represents the first rate-limiting step for metastatic spread. Therefore, identifying factors regulating cell attachment in the abdominal cavity is critical to the development of therapeutic agents. We show here that MMP-2 expression was upregulated in OvCa cells upon attachment to their microenvironment. Downregulation of MMP-2 mRNA or pharmacological inhibition of MMP-2 proteolytic function, in both human OvCa primary cells and cell lines, reduced attachment of OvCa cells to a 3D organotypic model of metastatic OvCa, full human omentum or peritoneum, and in vivo to mouse peritoneum and omentum. Absence of MMP-2 in the host did not alter OvCa adhesion, as determined utilizing mice harboring homozygous null mutations in either the Mmp2 or Mmp9 genes. Conversely, adhesion induced upregulation of MMP-2 mRNA in OvCa cells. MMP-2 inhibition in OvCa cells through pharmacological or antibody treatment prior to i.p. dissemination in nude mice significantly decreased tumor growth and metastasis and extended survival. MMP-2 enhanced peritoneal adhesion of OvCa cells through cleavage of ECM proteins fibronectin (FN) and vitronectin (Vn) into small fragments and increased binding of OvCa cells to these FN and Vn fragments and their receptors, alpha5beta1 and alphaVbeta3 integrin. These findings indicate that MMP-2 expressed by metastatic OvCa cells functionally regulates their attachment to peritoneal surfaces.

Abstract
In nonplacental or nontrophotenic vertebrates, early development depends on the maternal provision of egg yolk, which is mainly derived from large multidomain vitellogenin (Vtg) precursors. To reveal the molecular nature of the protein pools in vertebrate oocytes, published data on the N-termini of yolk proteins has been mapped to the deduced primary structures of their parent Vtgs. The available evidence shows that the primary cleavage sites of Vtgs are conserved, whereas the cleavage products exist as multidomain variants in the yolk protein pool. The serine-rich phosvitin (Pv) domains are linearly related to the molecular masses of the lipovitellin heavy chain. The 3-D localization of Pv maps to the outer edges of the Vtg monomer, where it is proposed to form amphipathic structures that loop up over the lipid pocket. At this locus, it is proposed that Pv stabilizes the nascent Vtg while it receives its lipid cargo, thereby facilitating the hepatic loading and locking of lipid within the Vtg (C-sheet)-(A-sheet)-(LvL) cavity, and enhances its solubility following secretion to the circulating plasma. The C-terminal regions of Vtgs are homologous to human von Willebrand factor type D domains (Vwfd), which are conserved cysteine-rich molecules with homologous regions that are prevalent in Vtgs, lipophorins, mucins, integrins, and zonadhesins. Unlike human VWFD, lower vertebrate Vwfds do not contain RGD motifs, which are associated with extracellular matrix binding. Although its function in Vtg is unknown, the lubricant properties associated with mucins and the cell adhesion properties associated with integrins and zonadhesins implicate Vwfd in the genesis of hemostatic platelet aggregation. Similarly, the proteolytic inhibitory properties associated with the binding of factor VIII in humans suggest that Vwfd stabilizes Vtg during passage in the systemic circulation.

Abstract
Molecular interactions between RGD peptides and integrins are known to mediate many biological and pathological processes. This has led to an increased interest in the development of RGD compounds with high affinity and improved selectivity for integrin receptors. In this study, we synthesized and evaluated a series of multimeric RGD compounds constructed on a dicarboxylic acid-containing near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye (cypate) for tumor targeting. An array of NIR fluorescent RGD compounds was prepared efficiently, including one RGD monomer (cypate-(RGD)(2)-NH(2)), two RGD dimers (cypate-(RGD)(2)-NH(2) and cypate-(RGD-NH(2))(2)), one trimer (cypate-(RGD)(3)-NH(2)), two tetramers (cypate-(RGD)(4)-NH(2) and cypate-[(RGD)(2)-NH(2)](2)), one hexamer (cypate-[(RGD)(3)-NH(2)](2)), and one octamer (cypate-[(RGD)(4)-NH(2)](2)). The binding affinity of the multimeric RGD compounds for alpha(v)beta(3) integrin receptor (ABIR) showed a remarkable increase relative to the monomer cypate-RGD-NH(2). Generally, the divalent linear arrays of the multimeric RGD units bound the ABIR with slightly higher affinity than their monovalent analogues. These results suggest that the receptor binding affinity was not only dependent on the number of RGD moieties but also on the spatial alignments of the pendant peptides. Internalization of the compounds by ABIR-positive tumor cells (A549) was monitored by NIR fluorescence microscopy. The data showed that endocytosis of the octameric RGD derivative was significantly higher by comparison to other compounds in this study. In vivo noninvasive optical imaging and biodistribution data showed that the compounds were retained in A549 tumor tissue. These results clearly demonstrated that an array of simple RGD tripeptides on a NIR fluorescent dye core can be recognized by ABIR. Optimization of the spatial alignment of the RGD moieties through careful molecular design and library construction could induce multivalent ligand-receptor interactions useful for in vivo tumor imaging and tumor-targeted therapy.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels were synthesized with pendant peptide functionalities to examine the influence of synergistic peptide sequences on osteoblast adhesion, spreading, and function. Specifically, acrylated monomers were prepared that contained the peptide sequence, Arg-Gly Asp (RGD), as well as monomers with RGD plus its synergy site, Pro-His-Ser-Arg-Asn (PHSRN), linked via a polyglycine sequence to recapitulate the native spacing of fibronectin. The colocalized RGD-PHSRN sequence improved osteoblast adhesion, spreading, and focal contact formation when compared to RGD alone. In addition, proliferation, metabolic activity, and levels of alkaline phosphatase production, a common marker for osteoblast function, were statistically higher for the colocalized peptide sequences at 1 day, 1 week, and 2 weeks, when compared to control surfaces. Interestingly, increases were not observed in all areas of cell function, as extracellular matrix (ECM) production was the lowest on gels functionalized with the colocalized peptide sequence. This result was attributed to strong receptor-ligand interactions initiating signal transduction cascades that down-regulate ECM production.

Abstract
Specific therapy is not available for the treatment of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome caused by Sin Nombre virus (SNV). The entry of pathogenic hantaviruses into susceptible human cells is dependent upon expression of the alpha(v)beta(3) integrin, and transfection of human beta(3) integrin is sufficient to confer infectibility onto CHO (Chinese hamster ovary) cells. Furthermore, pretreatment of susceptible cells with anti-beta(3) antibodies such as c7E3 or its Fab fragment ReoPro prevents hantavirus entry. By using repeated selection of a cyclic nonamer peptide phage display library on purified alpha(v)beta(3), we identified 70 peptides that were competitively eluted with ReoPro. Each of these peptides was examined for its ability to reduce the number of foci of SNV strain SN77734 in a fluorescence-based focus reduction assay according to the method of Gavrilovskaya et al. (I. N. Gavrilovskaya, M. Shepley, R. Shaw, M. H. Ginsberg, and E. R. Mackow, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95:7074-7079, 1998). We found that 11 peptides reduced the number of foci to a greater extent than did 80 mug/ml ReoPro when preincubated with Vero E6 cells. In addition, 8 of the 70 peptides had sequence similarity to SNV glycoproteins. We compared all 18 peptide sequences (10 most potent, 7 peptides with sequence similarity to hantavirus glycoproteins, and 1 peptide that was in the group that displayed the greatest potency and had significant sequence similarity) for their abilities to inhibit SNV, Hantaan virus (HTNV), and Prospect Hill virus (PHV) infection. There was a marked trend for the peptides to inhibit SNV and HTNV to a greater extent than they inhibited PHV, a finding that supports the contention that SNV and HTNV use beta(3) integrins and PHV uses a different receptor, beta1 integrin. We then chemically synthesized the four peptides that showed the greatest ability to neutralize SNV. These peptides inhibited viral entry in vitro as free peptides outside of the context of a phage. Some combinations of peptides proved more inhibitory than did individual peptides. In all, we have identified novel peptides that inhibit entry by SNV and HTNV via beta(3) integrins and that can be used as lead compounds for further structural optimization and consequent enhancement of activity.

Abstract
Adhesion behavior of cells to the surface of physical hydrogel membranes prepared by water-induced self-organization of precisely synthesized ABA-triblock copolymers comprised of poly(beta-benzyl L-aspartate) (PBLA) as A segment and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO, molecular weight = 20 000) as the B segment were investigated. The cast film from the methylenechloride solution of these copolymers swelled in water very rapidly forming hydrogels (100-400% water content of total weight). The content of PBLA affected the strength, the hydrophobicity, and the amount of water involved in the hydrogel surface. During the early stage of cultivation with murine peritoneal cells, cell adhesion on the hydrogels of PEO and PBLA with 18 (20K18) and 25 (20K25) monomeric units was not observed, while adhesion on the hydrogels of PEO and PBLA with 32 (20K32) and 55 (20K55) monomeric units was successful, suggesting more than 12 mol % in PBLA content is necessary for adhesion of these cells. Although cell spreading on the hydrogels of 20K18, 20K25, and 20K32 was not sufficient, the hydrogel of 20K55 allowed cell adhesion and spreading to be bipolar with leading edge whose raffling is active with pseudopodium and lamellipodium as well as PBLA homopolymer, suggesting active motility of these cells. Remarkably, prolonged incubation restored adhesiveness onto the films at 20K18 in contrast to adhesion with 20K25 despite low hydrophobicity. It is conceivable that adaptation of proteins and chemical changes to the surface during the culture period may participate in these phenomena. Mechanical properties and interaction between cell and these copolymer hydrogels could be controlled by composition of block segments, and optimization for implants could also be attainable.

Abstract
The evidence coming from the different experimental approaches reviewed in this article strongly supports the hypothesis that RA is T-cell driven at all stages of the disease. Although the effector phases responsible for the events that lead to joint destruction involve several different cell types, cytokines, and other mediators, T cells still direct operations behind the scenes. Direct experimental proof of this proposition in patients is still lacking, but the development of nondepleting modulating CD4 monoclonal antibodies may provide new tools to test this hypothesis. In this respect, it is encouraging that using one such reagent, we have recently shown that not only did the activity of the disease improve but, more importantly, the inflammatory indices and production of non-T-cell cytokines were reduced. This is not to dissimilar from the results of experiments described in animals, where by blocking synovial T cells, the production of IL-1 beta and TNF alpha could be decreased by more than 90%. From this perspective, it may be predicted that by modulating T cells in the joint, it is possible to achieve our ultimate goal of permanently switching off the disease.

Abstract
Phenotypic modulation of vascular smooth muscle cells plays an important role in the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis. In a screen of proteins expressed in human aortic smooth muscle cells, we identified a novel gene product designated aortic carboxypeptidase-like protein (ACLP). The approximately 4-kilobase human cDNA and its mouse homologue encode 1158 and 1128 amino acid proteins, respectively, that are 85% identical. ACLP is a nonnuclear protein that contains a signal peptide, a lysine- and proline-rich 11-amino acid repeating motif, a discoidin-like domain, and a C-terminal domain with 39% identity to carboxypeptidase E. By Western blot analysis and in situ hybridization, we detected abundant ACLP expression in the adult aorta. ACLP was expressed predominantly in the smooth muscle cells of the adult mouse aorta but not in the adventitia or in several other tissues. In cultured mouse aortic smooth muscle cells, ACLP mRNA and protein were up-regulated 2-3-fold after serum starvation. Using a recently developed neural crest cell to smooth muscle cell in vitro differentiation system, we found that ACLP mRNA and protein were not expressed in neural crest cells but were up-regulated dramatically with the differentiation of these cells. These results indicate that ACLP may play a role in differentiated vascular smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
The BA46 antigen of the human milk fat globule (HMFG) membrane is expressed in human breast carcinomas and has been used successfully as a target for experimental breast cancer radioimmunotherapy. To characterize this antigen further, we obtained the entire cDNA sequence and focused on its possible role in cell adhesion. The derived protein sequence of BA46 encodes a 387-residue precursor composed of a putative signal peptide, an amino-terminal epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain containing the cell adhesion tripeptide arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD), and human factor V and factor VIII C1/C2-like domains. The EGF-like domain of BA46 is similar to the calcium-binding EGF-like domains of several coagulation factors, but the BA46 domain lacks a residue required for calcium binding and the coagulation factor domains do not include an RGD sequence. Assuming that all EGF-like domains fold into a similar structure, the RGD-containing sequence in BA46 is inserted between two antiparallel beta strands. This positioning suggests a novel function for the EGF-like domain as a scaffold for RGD presentation.

Abstract
The process of attachment of epithelial cells obtained from the porcine periodontal ligament (cell rests of Malassez) to different extracellular matrix proteins and their expression of fibronectin and integrin receptors were studied by means of immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization, and time-lapse cinemicrography techniques. The cell lines of periodontal ligament epithelial cells (PLE cells) attached to and spread rapidly on fibronectin, vitronectin, and type I collagen. One of the cell lines also attached to laminin, while the other cell line showed poor attachment to both laminin and Matrigel, a basement membrane material. By use of the in situ hybridization technique, some PLE cells were found to express the fibronectin gene strongly. Immunocytochemical staining localized fibronectin in extracellular fibrils and intracellular granules. Fibronectin was also found in the tracks left behind by the cells migrating on the substratum. Arg-gly-asp-ser peptide inhibited the attachment of the PLE cells to fibronectin, laminin, type I collagen, and vitronectin by 47%, 43%, 83%, and 94%, respectively, suggesting that the cell-matrix interactions were partly mediated by receptors related to the integrin family. Antibodies against the beta 1-integrin subunit stained the cell bodies and the plasma membrane projections of spreading cells. After 24 h or longer in culture, beta 1-integrins were localized to the regions of cell-cell contact. Cinemicrography of the arg-gly-asp-ser-peptide-treated cells demonstrated that the spreading and migration of isolated cells were prevented by the peptide. The peptide did not appear to dissociate the cell-cell contacts or interfere with migration of spread-cell colonies.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The distribution of type I and II collagens, fibronectin and the fibronectin-integrin receptor, tenascin, laminin, link protein, and cartilage-specific glycosaminoglycans was examined in the primate temporomandibular joint complex using an immunohistochemical approach. In general, type I collagen, fibronectin, and the fibronectin-integrin receptor were found to co-distribute throughout the joint complex. Immunostaining for these proteins was notably intense in the prechondroblastic and mineralization zones of the articular cartilages of the joint. Tenascin was identified in several structures of the joint, including the articular cartilages, where intense staining was observed in the prechondroblastic and cartilagenous zones. Laminin was detected only in the adventitia of blood vessels located in the attachment tissues of the disc and joint synovium. Cartilage-specific glycosaminoglycans and type II collagen were observed in the cartilagenous zones of the articular cartilages of the mandibular condyle and temporal bone. In addition, immunostaining for cartilage-specific glycosaminoglycans also was detected throughout the extracellular matrix surrounding "chondrocyte-like" cells located in the joint disc. Despite the localization of cartilage-specific glycosaminoglycans in the disc, type II collagen was not detected in this structure. It is suggested that a fibronectin-integrin receptor mechanism may be involved in the regulation of growth of the articular cartilages of the temporomandibular joint.

Abstract
Sequencing of the VP1 of a large number of subtypes of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) has revealed the presence of a conserved arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) sequence located in a highly exposed region. This sequence has been shown to be essential for the interaction of certain extracellular matrix and adhesion proteins with a superfamily of cell-surface receptors called integrins. We have examined the effects of synthetic peptides containing the RGD sequence on the binding of eight different subtypes of FMDV to tissue culture cells. The results showed that such peptides inhibited viral adsorption by 50-80%. The inhibition was dose dependent but not as great as that achieved by using a saturating amount of virus as an inhibitor. Substitution of other amino acids for any of the three main residues lowered the inhibitory properties of the peptides. These results suggest that the RGD sequence in FMDV VP1 appears to be important for the interaction of virus with cellular receptor sites.

Abstract
The myelin-associated glycoprotein MAG is a neural cell adhesion molecule which belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and the carbohydrate based L2/HNK-1 family of adhesion molecules. In this study we further characterize the adhesive properties of MAG. MAG incorporated into liposomes bound to cultured peripheral and central nervous system neurons known to be myelinated in vivo. Expression of the neuronal MAG receptor(s) on spinal cord neurons increased with time in culture and correlated with the time of active myelination of these neurons in vivo. MAG bound only poorly if at all to cerebellar neurons which are not myelinated in vivo and not to cultured oligodendrocytes or Schwann cells. A low level of MAG binding to astrocytes or fibroblast-like cells that was MAG antibody inhibitable could also be observed. The adhesion molecules L1 and N-CAM, two other members of the immunoglobulin superfamily, were not found to be the neuronal receptors for MAG. RGD containing peptides did not inhibit binding of MAG-liposomes to neurons. The soluble form of MAG which contains most, if not all, of the extracellular domain of the molecule and binds to collagen, did not interfere with the binding of MAG-liposomes to neurons. Conversely, MAG-liposomes did not bind to collagen, suggesting that MAG shows different binding properties as an integral membrane protein than as a fragment containing the extracellular domain of the molecule.

Abstract
N-Glycanase deglycosylation of purified 44 kDa chymotryptic collagen-binding domain from human plasma fibronectin does not significantly modify its behavior on gelatin affinity chromatography. This indicates that carbohydrates do not play any role in the binding affinity of fibronectin to collagen. The influence of changes in glycosylation on the biological functions of fibronectin is discussed.

Abstract
We used antibodies against the alpha subunits of the human fibronectin receptor (FNR) and vitronectin receptor (VNR) to localize simultaneously FNR and VNR at major substrate adhesion sites of fibroblasts and melanoma cells with double-label immunofluorescence microscopy. In early (2-6-h) serum-containing cultures, both FNR and VNR coaccumulated in focal contacts detected by interference reflection microscopy. Under higher resolution immunoscanning electron microscopy, FNR and VNR were also observed to be distributed randomly on the dorsal cell surface. As fibronectin-containing extracellular matrix fibers accumulated beneath the cells at 24 h, FNR became concentrated at contacts with these fibers and was no longer detected at focal contacts. VNR was not observed at matrix contacts but remained strikingly localized in focal contacts of the 24-h cells. Since focal contacts represent the sites of strongest cell-to-substrate adhesion, these results suggest that FNR and VNR together play critical roles in the maintenance of stable contacts between the cell and its substrate. In addition, the accumulation of FNR at extracellular matrix contacts implies that this receptor might also function in the process of cellular migration along fibronectin-containing matrix cables. To define the factors governing accumulation of FNR and VNR at focal contacts, fibroblasts in serum-free media were plated on substrates coated with purified ligands. Fibronectin-coated surfaces fostered accumulation of FNR but not VNR at focal contacts. On vitronectin-coated surfaces, or substrata derivatized with a tridecapeptide containing the cell attachment sequence Arg-Gly-Asp, both FNR and VNR became concentrated at focal contacts. These observations suggest that the availability of ligand is critical to the accumulation of FNR and VNR at focal contacts, and that FNR might also recognize substrate-bound vitronectin.

Abstract
Human epidermal keratinocytes obtained from normal skin attached and spread on thrombospondin (TSP)-coated plastic dishes but failed to attach and spread on untreated plastic culture dishes or dishes coated with fibronectin or laminin. These cells produced minimal amounts of immunoreactive TSP. Keratinocytes established in culture on MCDB 153 medium and maintained for one to three passages in an undifferentiated state by continued cultivation in this low Ca2+-containing medium attached and spread on plastic dishes as well as on TSP-coated dishes. These cells also secreted significant amounts of TSP into the culture medium. When the keratinocytes were incubated for one day in MCDB 153 medium supplemented with high Ca2+ or in MEM (which also contains high Ca2+), there was decreased secretion of TSP into the culture medium concomitant with a reduction in attachment and spreading on plastic culture dishes. Proteolytic fragments of TSP were examined for stimulation of keratinocyte attachment and spreading. A 140-kd fragment produced by removal of the 25-kd heparin-binding domain had similar activity to the intact molecule while the 25-kd fragment was without effect. Further proteolytic treatment of the 140-kd fragment gave rise to a fragment consisting of 120 kd and 18-D moieties held together in disulphide linkage. This fragment did not support attachment or spreading. This study reveals that normal epidermal keratinocytes grown under conditions that maintain the undifferentiated state are able to produce TSP and utilize it as an attachment factor. When keratinocytes are grown under conditions that promote differentiation, ability to produce and utilize TSP is diminished. Since TSP is present at the dermal-epidermal junction and because TSP promotes keratinocyte attachment and spreading, this molecule may play an important role in maintaining normal growth of the basal cell layer and may also participate in reepithelialization during wound repair.

Abstract
Fibronectin (FN) is a multidomain extracellular matrix protein that induces attachment and chemotactic migration of fibroblastic cells. In this study we analyzed the molecular determinants involved in the FN-induced chemotactic migration of normal and SV40-transformed 3T3 cells. Two different monoclonal antibodies to the cell-binding site of FN blocked chemotaxis to a 140-kD FN fragment (Ca 140) containing the cell-binding domain. A monoclonal antibody to a determinant distant from the cell-binding site did not affect chemotaxis. A synthetic tetrapeptide, RGDS, which represents the major cell-attachment sequence, was able to compete with FN and the Ca 140 fragment in chemotaxis assays, but this peptide itself had no significant chemotactic activity. A larger peptide encompassing this sequence, GRGDSP, was chemotactic, while the peptide GRGESP, where a glutamic acid residue was substituted for aspartic acid, was inactive. Chemotactic migration could be prevented in a dose-dependent manner by a rabbit polyclonal antiserum to a 140-kD cell surface FN receptor. This antibody was more effective on normal than on transformed 3T3 cells. Neither the anti-FN receptor antiserum nor a monoclonal antibody to the cell-binding site of FN blocked migration induced by another potent chemoattractant, platelet-derived growth factor. These data indicate that FN-induced chemotaxis of 3T3 and SV3T3 cells is mediated via the RGDS cell-attachment site of FN and the 140-kD cell surface FN receptor. The interaction is specific and can be altered by transformation.

Abstract
The present studies were undertaken to confirm the presence and identity of a putative proteoglycan associated with laminin in neurite-promoting factor complexes isolated from rat schwannoma cell conditioned medium. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation of the complex resolved two laminin-associated Na2[35S]O4-labeled peaks which were termed Pools A and B. Both pools had nearly all their [35S] cpms associated with glycosaminoglycan, contained heparan sulfate-proteoglycan core protein antigen and displayed a similarly high neurite promoting potency relative to their laminin contents. However, Pool A contained about twice as many [35S] cpms and twice as much proteoglycan core protein per laminin than Pool B. Seventy percent of Pool A cpms was associated with heparan sulfate and 30% with chondroitin sulfate whereas the inverse was true for Pool B. Treatment with heparitinase and/or chondroitinase ABC caused laminin in either pool to elute at lower salt concentrations from DEAE cellulose. In SDS-PAGE the [35S] cpms of both pools ran with the same mobility as laminin but could be separated from laminin under reducing conditions. The Pool A cpms remained at 900 KD and the Pool B cpms spread over the 200-900 KD range. By rotary shadowing electron microscopy, Pool B fractions contained primarily cross-shaped laminin images, often associated with proteoglycan-like images. Pool A fractions contained i) dense, aggregated images including intact laminin from which emanated proteoglycan-like strands, ii) circular images bearing globular domains and less commonly, iii) distorted cross-shaped laminin-like images. These studies support the existence of at least two forms of laminin-proteoglycan complexes which differ in biochemical, immunochemical and ultrastructural characteristics.

Abstract
Plasma fibronectin (pFN) has been shown to mediate phagocytosis of several types of artificial particles and tissue debris by macrophages. In the present investigation some of the dynamic aspects of this receptor-mediated cellular process have been studied. Plasma fibronectin did not bind specifically to fibronectin (FN)-receptors of rat peritoneal macrophages at either 4 degrees C or 37 degrees C. On the other hand, pFN aggregated on the surface of gelatin-coated latex beads (gLtx) and 125I-labeled pFN covalently coupled to latex beads (pFN-Ltx) bound strongly to macrophages at both temperatures. Both of these particles were also internalized at 37 degrees C. Treatment of macrophages by chymotrypsin, thermolysin, or trypsin in a protein-free tissue culture medium did not affect either of the above reactions; however, pronase treatment strongly reduced both the binding and internalization of the pFN-coated particles. The pronase-treated macrophage monolayers in time regained their ability to bind and internalize pFN-gLtx when incubated in fresh tissue culture medium. Such recovery, however, did not take place when the medium contained cycloheximide. On the other hand, phagocytosis of pFN-gLtx was not affected directly by cycloheximide with untreated macrophages; this suggests that the FN-receptor recycles during sustained phagocytosis. This assumption was substantiated by the observations that some of the established lysosomotropic amines--i.e., chloroquine, dansylcadaverine, and dimethyldansylcadaverine--caused total inhibition of internalization without affecting the binding of particles to macrophages. Furthermore, chloroquine protected the FN-receptors against destruction by pronase. Together these results suggest that macrophage receptors for FN are protein, present both on the cell surface and intracellularly, and recycle between the plasma membrane and intracellular sites during phagocytosis.

Abstract
To isolate collagen-binding cell surface proteins, detergent extracts of surface-iodinated MG-63 human osteosarcoma cells were chromatographed on affinity matrices of either type I collagen-Sepharose or Sepharose carrying a collagen-like triple-helical peptide. The peptide was designed to be triple helical and to contain the sequence Arg-Gly-Asp, which has been implicated as the cell attachment site of fibronectin, vitronectin, fibrinogen, and von Willebrand factor, and is also present in type I collagen. Three radioactive polypeptides having apparent molecular masses of 250 kD, 70 kD, and 30 kD were distinguishable in that they showed affinity toward the collagen and collagen-like peptide affinity columns, and could be specifically eluted from these columns with a solution of an Arg-Gly-Asp-containing peptide, Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Thr-Pro. These collagen-binding polypeptides associated with phosphatidylcholine liposomes, and the resulting liposomes bound specifically to type I collagen or the collagen-like peptide but not to fibronectin or vitronectin or heat-denatured collagen. The binding of these liposomes to type I collagen could be inhibited with the peptide Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Thr-Pro and with EDTA, but not with a variant peptide Gly-Arg-Gly-Glu-Ser-Pro. We conclude from these data that these three polypeptides are membrane molecules that behave as a cell surface receptor (or receptor complex) for type I collagen by interacting with it through the Arg-Gly-Asp tripeptide adhesion signal. The lack of binding to denatured collagen suggests that the conformation of the Arg-Gly-Asp sequence is important in the recognition of collagen by the receptor complex.

Abstract
The role of the carbohydrate residues of fibronectin concerning the specificities of that glycoprotein to interact with fibroblastic cell surfaces, gelatin, and heparin was examined. Tunicamycin was used to produce carbohydrate-depleted fibronectin; it was synthesized by cultured fibroblasts. Unglycosylated and glycosylated fibronectins were analyzed for their ability to bind gelatin and heparin, using affinity columns. Fibronectin-coated surfaces were used to quantitatively measure cell adhesion and spreading. The results showed that the lack of carbohydrates significantly increased the interaction of the protein with gelatin and markedly enhanced its ability to promote adhesion and spreading of fibroblasts. In contrast, the binding of fibronectin to heparin was not influenced by glycosylation. The composite data indicate that the Asn-linked oligosaccharides of fibronectin act as modulators of biological functions of the glycoprotein.
