Digestion of a 42-kDa gelatin-binding fragment (GBF) of fibronectin with pepsin followed by affinity chromatography on gelatin-Sepharose produces three fractions, a drop-through non-binding fraction, a retarded fraction that is dominated by a 13-kDa fragment whose NH2 terminus is identical to that of 42-kDa GBF, and a binding fraction that contains a homogeneous fragment of apparent mass 21 kDa with an NH2 terminus corresponding to Arg484. This 21-kDa GBF binds repeatedly to gelatin-Sepharose, eluting near 2.6 M in a urea gradient. It also binds in the fluid phase to a fluorescent-labeled collagen peptide with Kd = 10 microM and inhibits the binding of 42-kDa GBF to the same peptide with KI = 7.3 microM. Thus, major gelatin-binding determinants of fibronectin are located within a 21-kDa region that contains two type I homologous "finger" modules and is devoid of the type II "kringle-like" modules that were previously thought to be essential for this activity.

D005353 Fibronectins Glycoproteins found on the surfaces of cells, particularly in fibrillar structures. The proteins are lost or reduced when these cells undergo viral or chemical transformation. They are highly susceptible to proteolysis and are substrates for activated blood coagulation factor VIII. The forms present in plasma are called cold-insoluble globulins.
