Fibronectin from human plasma and its 180 kDa fragment which retained collagen-binding, cell-attachment and heparin-binding activities, were studied by velocity centrifugation and 1H-NMR methods. The fibronectin hydrodynamic radius strongly increased at pH 11 while the hydrodynamic properties of the fragment did not change noticeably. 1H-NMR spectroscopy also showed differences in the molecular properties of fibronectin and its 180 kDa fragment. Under physiological conditions the structure of fibronectin differs from that of its 180 kDa fragment. At pH 11 and in 4 M urea no differences in their structures are observed. It is suggested that interdomain and intersubunit interactions play an important role in maintaining the native conformation of intact fibronectin.

D002498 Centrifugation Process of using a rotating machine to generate centrifugal force to separate substances of different densities, remove moisture, or simulate gravitational effects. It employs a large motor-driven apparatus with a long arm, at the end of which human and animal subjects, biological specimens, or equipment can be revolved and rotated at various speeds to study gravitational effects.

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.
