von Willebrand factor binds to native collagen VI primarily via its A1 domain.
Collagen VI is abundant in the arterial subendothelium. To investigate its mechanism of interaction with von Willebrand factor (vWF), collagen VI was isolated from human placenta and from the extracellular matrix of the human lung fibroblast cell line MRC-5. Purified vWF bound to non-digested collagen VI with moderately high affinity (EC50 approximately 5 nM) and could be inhibited by the Hirud...
متن کاملCollagen-binding domain within bovine propolypeptide of von Willebrand factor.
Two reduced/alkylated fragments of bovine propolypeptide of von Willebrand factor (pp-vWF) that inhibit pp-vWF binding to collagen were isolated. One is a tryptic fragment of molecular mass of about 30 kDa and inhibits the binding at a molar concentration about 20 times higher than the intact pp-vWF. Amino acid sequence of this fragment was determined almost completely, and it was revealed that...
متن کامل150-kD von Willebrand factor binding protein extracted from human vascular subendothelium is type VI collagen.
We have previously shown that von Willebrand factor (vWF), a glycoprotein which plays a critical role in the adhesion of platelets to injured blood vessels, is present within vascular subendothelium. We investigated the identity of the subendothelial binding site(s) for vWF by examining vWF binding to subendothelial constituents and solubilized a 150-kD protein with SDS-urea that bound vWF. Thi...
متن کاملLocalization of von Willebrand factor binding domains to endothelial extracellular matrix and to type VI collagen.
We have recently shown that von Willebrand factor (vWF) binds to endothelial and fibroblastic extracellular matrixes (ECM) in a dose-dependent, specific, and saturable way. To localize the domain on the vWF subunit responsible for this interaction, purified proteolytic fragments of vWF were compared for their ability to inhibit 125I-vWF binding to ECM. A tryptic dimeric fragment of 116 kD (T116...
متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus protein A binding to von Willebrand factor A1 domain is mediated by conserved IgG binding regions.
Protein A (Spa) is a surface-associated protein of Staphylococcus aureus best known for its ability to bind to the Fc region of IgG. Spa also binds strongly to the Fab region of the immunoglobulins bearing V(H)3 heavy chains and to von Willebrand factor (vWF). Previous studies have suggested that the protein A-vWF interaction is important in S. aureus adherence to platelets under conditions of ...
