Abstract excerpt
The ninth and tenth FIII domains (FIII9-10) of human fibronectin act in synergy to promote cell adhesion via the interaction with integrin receptors. Here we describe the functional and structural properties of a set of recombinant FIII9-10 mutants containing various alanine substitutions within the key synergistic site, DRVPHSRN in FIII9, either alone or in combination with another substitution (Leu(1408) to...
