Primary structure of human plasma fibronectin. Characterization of a 38 kDa domain containing the C-terminal heparin-binding site (Hep III site) and a region of molecular heterogeneity
Garcia-Pardo A; Rostagno A; Frangione B
The primary structure of a 38 kDa heparin-binding domain from human plasma fibronectin has been determined. This domain contains 380 residues arranged in three type-III homology regions of approx. 90 residues each, and a 67-amino-acid C-terminal segment. This segment has been shown to be encoded by certain mRNA species only, due to alternative splicing [Kornblihtt, Vibe-Pedersen & Baralle (1984) Nucleic Acids Research 12, 5853-5868], and therefore represents a region of heterogeneity in fibronectin. Our data indicate that at least one of the constituent polypeptide chains contains this region.

Fibronectin binds to amyloid P component. Localization of the binding site to the 31,000 dalton C-terminal domain
Rostagno A; Frangione B; Pearlstein E; Garcia-Pardo A
Fibronectin has been shown to play an important role in reticuloendothelial system functioning as well as in neutrophil and fibroblast migration to tissue injury sites. Fibronectin binds several macromolecules including components of the acute phase response. We have studied the interaction of fibronectin with the amyloid P component (AP). This glycoprotein, closely related to C-reactive protein, is deposited together with amyloid fibrils and is also a normal constituent of human fibronectin, its whole tryptic digest, and isolated fragments; fibronectin was retained by immobilized AP in a molar ratio fibronectin:AP of 1:5.8. In this paper we localized the binding site for AP in a tryptic 31 kDa fragment, near the C-terminal end of the fibronectin molecule. A shorter fragment of 22 kDa starting at position 82 of the 31 kDa domain and containing all the disulfide bridges present in the 31 kDa domain did not bind to AP; therefore the active site appears to be located within the 81 N-terminal residues of the 31 kDa fragment. To further support this conclusion, reduction and alkylation of either fibronectin or the 31 kDa fragment had no effect on their binding properties.
