Tissue Transglutaminase Is an Integrin-Binding Adhesion Coreceptor for Fibronectin
The protein cross-linking enzyme tissue transglutaminase binds in vitro with high affinity to fibronectin via its 42-kD gelatin-binding domain. Here we report that cell surface transglutaminase mediates adhesion and spreading of cells on the 42-kD fibronectin fragment, which lacks integrin-binding motifs. Overexpression of tissue transglutaminase increases its amount on the cell surface, enhanc...
متن کاملDissociation of fibrinogen and fibronectin binding from transglutaminase-mediated cross-linking at the hepatocyte surface.
The interaction of fibrinogen and fibronectin with hepatocytes has been dissociated into distinct binding and cross-linking steps. Binding and cross-linking of 125I-labeled ligands were both decreased by transglutaminase inhibitors, but not by heparin or hirudin. Transglutaminase activity was manifest by Ca2+-dependent incorporation of [14C]putrescine into cells. Preferential cross-linking of f...
متن کاملBiochemical characterization of PE_PGRS61 family protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv reveals the binding ability to fibronectin
Objective(s): The periodic binding of protein expressed by Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv with the host cell receptor molecules i.e. fibronectin (Fn) is gaining significance because of its adhesive properties. The genome sequencing of M. tuberculosis H37Rv revealed that the proline-glutamic (PE) proteins contain polymorphic GC-rich repetitive sequences (PGRS) which have clinical importance i...
متن کاملPlatelet interactions with fibronectin: divalent cation-independent platelet adhesion to the gelatin-binding domain of fibronectin.
Divalent cation-dependent platelet adhesion to fibronectin (FN) is mediated by the integrin receptors alpha 5 beta 1 (GP Ic-IIa) and alpha IIb beta 3 (GP IIb-IIIa), which recognize the RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) sequence in the cell-binding domain. However, FN can also support divalent cation-independent platelet adhesion. To determine which domain of FN mediates divalent cation-independent adhesion, pr...
متن کاملSmall Molecule Inhibitors Target the Tissue Transglutaminase and Fibronectin Interaction
Tissue transglutaminase (TG2) mediates protein crosslinking through generation of ε-(γ-glutamyl) lysine isopeptide bonds and promotes cell adhesion through interaction with fibronectin (FN) and integrins. Cell adhesion to the peritoneal matrix regulated by TG2 facilitates ovarian cancer dissemination. Therefore, disruption of the TG2-FN complex by small molecules may inhibit cell adhesion and m...
