Val-Gly-Val-Ala-Pro-Gly, a repeating peptide in elastin, is chemotactic for fibroblasts and monocytes
Recent studies have demonstrated that tropoelastin and elastin-derived peptides are chemotactic for fibroblasts and monocytes. To identify the chemotactic sites on elastin, we examined the chemotactic activity of Val-Gly-Val-Ala-Pro-Gly (VGVAPG), a repeating peptide in tropoelastin. We observed that VGVAPG was chemotactic for fibroblasts and monocytes, with optimal activity at approximately 10(...
متن کاملVal-ala-pro-gly, an elastin-derived non-integrin ligand: smooth muscle cell adhesion and specificity.
The elastin-derived peptide val-ala-pro-gly (VAPG) may be useful as a biospecific cell adhesion ligand for smooth muscle cells. By grafting the peptide sequence into a hydrogel material, we were able to assess its effects on smooth muscle cell adhesion and spreading. These materials are photopolymerizable hydrogels based on acrylate-terminated derivatives of polyethylene glycol (PEG). Because o...
متن کاملStructure of an elastin-mimetic polypeptide by solid-state NMR chemical shift analysis.
The conformation of an elastin-mimetic recombinant protein, [(VPGVG)4(VPGKG)]39, is investigated using solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The protein is extensively labeled with 13C and 15N, and two-dimensional 13C-13C and 15N-13C correlation experiments were carried out to resolve and assign the isotropic chemical shifts of the various sites. The Pro 15N, 13Calpha, and 13Cbeta isotropic shifts, and...
متن کاملSupramolecular interactions probed by 13C-13C solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
We present a robust solid-state NMR approach for the accurate determination of molecular interfaces in insoluble and noncrystalline protein-protein complexes. The method relies on the measurement of intermolecular (13)C-(13)C distances in mixtures of [1-(13)C]glucose- and [2-(13)C]glucose-labeled proteins. We have applied this method to Parkinson's disease-associated α-synuclein fibrils and fou...

The reaction of the P2 protein from rabbit sciatic nerve with CNBr produced four peptides: a 20-residue peptide (CN3) containing tryptophan which occupies the blocked NHZ terminus; Peptide CN1, a large peptide comprising over 70% of the P2 molecule; Peptide CN2, a fraction containing two tightly bound peptides having 2 half-cystine residues and comprising the COOH terminus; and Peptide CN4, a n...
