[Interacting between amyloid P and connective tissue proteins ].

A Pollak, H Coradello, U Latzka

    Wiener Klinische Wochenschrift
    |May 28, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Amyloid P (S-AP) strongly binds to extracellular matrix proteins like fibronectin and heparan sulfate. This interaction helps explain S-AP's presence in connective tissues.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Extracellular Matrix Biology

    Context:

    • Amyloid P (S-AP) is found in connective tissues, but its interactions within the extracellular matrix are not fully understood.
    • Understanding S-AP's binding partners is crucial for elucidating its role in tissue structure and pathology.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the binding interactions of amyloid P (S-AP) with key components of the macromolecular connective tissue and extracellular matrix.
    • To identify specific extracellular matrix proteins and glycosaminoglycans that bind to S-AP.

    Summary:

    • Affinity chromatography revealed that S-AP strongly binds to fibronectin and heparan sulfate.
    • The S-AP-fibronectin complex dissociated with 2 M urea, while the S-AP-heparan sulfate complex dissociated with 3 M urea.
    • Laminin, collagen types I and IV, and other glycosaminoglycans did not bind to S-AP.

    Impact:

    • These findings demonstrate that S-AP interacts strongly with specific extracellular matrix proteins.
    • This interaction provides a molecular basis for the presence of S-AP in normal connective tissue.
    • The study contributes to understanding the structural role of S-AP in the extracellular matrix.
