Generation of basidiomycetous hyphal cell-aggregates by addition of the Arg-Gly-Asp motif-containing fragment of high-molecular-weight cell-adhesion protein MFBA derived from the basidiomycete Lentinus edodes.
The Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif-containing fragment of high-molecular-weight cell-adhesion protein MFBA derived from Lentinus edodes caused a significant aggregation of the fragmented hyphal cells of Schizophyllum commune. This fungal cell-aggregation was inhibited by a previous treatment of the cells with the Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser-Pro peptide, but not with the Gly-Arg-Gly-Glu-Ser-Pro peptide, showing that the RGD motif is essential for the cell-aggregation activity.
