Vitronectin (VN) is a substrate adhesion molecule, an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that facilitates cell adhesion and cell movement in animals. We have reported the cross-reactivity of a 55-kD protein in plants with rabbit anti-human VN antibodies and the presence of VN-like sequences in plant genomes using a human VN cDNA probe. We have extended these studies by using human VN riboprobes to detect VN-like mRNAs in lily (Lilium longiflorum L.) and soybean. In both species, two mRNAs were detected. We have also identified a new cross-reactive protein (41 kD) using a different preparation of human VN antiserum. In lily roots five 41-kD isoforms were observed, whereas only three of these isoforms accumulated in leaves. Monospecific antibodies prepared against the plant proteins cross-reacted with the human VN protein and vice versa. We have purified the 41-kD protein using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, and amino acid composition analysis indicates that it is similar in composition to human VN.
玻连蛋白(VN)是一种底物粘附分子,是一种细胞外基质糖蛋白,可促进动物体内的细胞粘附和细胞运动。我们已经报道了植物中一种55-kD蛋白与兔抗人VN抗体的交叉反应性,以及使用人VN cDNA探针在植物基因组中存在VN样序列。我们通过使用人VN核糖探针来检测百合(Lilium longiflorum L.)和大豆中的VN样mRNA,扩展了这些研究。在这两个物种中,均检测到两种mRNA。我们还使用不同制备的人VN抗血清鉴定出一种新的交叉反应蛋白(41 kD)。在百合根中观察到五种41-kD同工型,而这些同工型中只有三种在叶片中积累。针对植物蛋白制备的单特异性抗体与人类VN蛋白发生交叉反应,反之亦然。我们使用二维凝胶电泳纯化了41-kD蛋白,氨基酸组成分析表明其组成与人类VN相似。
