Physarum vitronectin-like protein: an Arg-Gly-Asp-dependent cell-spreading protein with a distinct NH2-terminal sequence.
A 70-kDa protein cross-reacted with anti-bovine vitronectin was isolated from slime mold Physarum polycephalum. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of the protein, referred to as Physarum vitronectin-like protein, did not share any homology with those of animal vitronectins. It had cell-spreading activity, which was specifically inhibited by an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-containing peptide.
