Thrombospondin-1 binds to polyhistidine with high affinity and specificity.
Thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) is a secreted trimeric glycoprotein of 450 kDa with demonstrated effects on cell growth, adhesion and migration. Its complex biological activity is attributed to its ability to bind to cell-surface receptors, growth factors and extracellular-matrix proteins. In this study, we used a (125)I solid-phase binding assay to demonstrate that TSP1 binds specifically to proteins ...
متن کاملFibroblast Growth Factor-1 vs. Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 in Ischemic Skin Flap Survival in a Rat Animal Model
BACKGROUND One of the main challenges in skin flap surgery is tissue ischemia and following necrosis. The present study compares the effects of fibroblast growth factors 1 and 2 on increasing cutaneous vasculature, improving ischemia, and preventing distal necrosis in ischemic skin flaps in rat model. METHODS Thirty rats were allocated into 3 groups (n=10) and 2×8 cm dorsal rando...
متن کاملTenascin cytotactin epidermal growth factor-like repeat binds epidermal growth factor receptor with low affinity.
Select epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like (EGFL) repeats of human tenascin cytotactin (tenascin C) can stimulate EGF receptor (EGFR) signaling, but activation requires micromolar concentrations of soluble EGFL repeats in contrast to subnanomolar concentrations of classical growth factors such as EGF. Using in silico homology modeling techniques, we generated a structure for one such repeat, the...
متن کاملIsolation of brain fibroblast growth factor by heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatography: identity with pituitary fibroblast growth factor.
Brain and pituitary fibroblast growth factors (FGF) have been purified to apparent homogeneity from crude tissue extracts by a three-step procedure, including salt precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography, and heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatography. Brain and pituitary FGF have similar amino acid compositions and are indistinguishable with respect to molecular weight (16,000 by polyacrylam...
متن کاملCubilin, a high affinity receptor for fibroblast growth factor 8, is required for cell survival in the developing vertebrate head.
Cubilin (Cubn) is a multiligand endocytic receptor critical for the intestinal absorption of vitamin B12 and renal protein reabsorption. During mouse development, Cubn is expressed in both embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues, and Cubn gene inactivation results in early embryo lethality most likely due to the impairment of the function of extra-embryonic Cubn. Here, we focus on the development...
