Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of fibronectin (FN) assembly and the self-association sites are still unclear and contradictory, although the N-terminal 70-kDa region ((I)1-9) is commonly accepted as one of the assembly sites. We previously found that (I)1-9 binds to superfibronectin, which is an artificial FN aggregate induced by anastellin. In the present study, we found that (I)1-9 bound to the aggregate formed by anastellin...
