Random peptide bacteriophage display as a probe for urokinase receptor ligands

Biological Chemistry

Abstract

The urokinase receptor is a multi-functional protein that plays a central role in cell surface plasminogen activation, cell migration, and cell adhesion. We previously demonstrated that high affinity peptide ligands for the urokinase receptor, which are urokinase competitors, can be obtained from a 15mer peptide library (Goodson et al., 1994). In order to probe for additional urokinase receptor binding sites we affinity selected the same bacteriophage library on complexes of soluble urokinase receptor (suPAR) and the receptor binding domain of urokinase, residues 1-48 (uPA1-48). Bacteriophage were isolated which bound to suPAR and suPAR:uPA1-48 complexes with high yield. The peptide sequences encoded by these bacteriophage were distinct from those obtained previously on urokinase receptor expressing cells, and comprise two groups based upon effects on su-PAR:1-anilino-8-napthalene sulfonate (ANS) fluorescence, and vitronectin binding competition. Alanine scanning mutagensis of the soluble peptides was used to define minimal regions and key residues for suPAR binding by competition with the parent bacteriophage. A comparison of these results with sequences of domains of both vitronectin and integrin alpha-chains, which have been...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Bacteriophage: Phage Therapy

Phage therapy uses bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) to treat bacterial infections and is widely being recognized as an alternative to antibiotics. Here is the latest research.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Biophysics of Adhesion

Alterations in cell adhesion can disrupt important cellular processes and lead to a variety of diseases, including cancer and arthritis. It is also essential for infectious organisms, such as bacteria or viruses, to cause diseases. Understanding the biophysics of cell adhesion can help understand these diseases.
