These results suggested to us that the same specifically eluted with a solution containing the Gly-Arg-Gly- receptor might be responsible for the adhesion ofcells to both Asp-Ser-Pro peptide. These proteins could be incorporated into fibronectin and vitronectin.

This receptor differs from the fibronectin contrast, liposomes containing a previously identified 140-kDa receptor in molecular weight and binding specificity toward fibronectin receptor, which interacts with the Arg-Gly-Asp fibronectin and vitronectin, but it shares with the fibronectin sequence in fibronectin, did not bind to vitronectin.

The 125/115- kDa protein liposomes bound nearly as well to the GRGDSP peptide as they did to vitronectin and somewhat less strongly I to a 30 amino acid peptide containing the GRGDSP and surrounding sequences from fibronectin. These liposomes, however, bound to neither the 120-kDa cell-attachment fragment from fibronectin (22) nor fibronectin itself. The fibronectin-receptor liposomes, on the other hand, showed the opposite specificity; they bound equally well to fibronec- tin and its large cell-attachment-promoting fragment but did not bind to the synthetic peptides.
