Abstract

The conformation and degree of multimerization of vitronectin (Vn) appears to be of critical importance for its functions, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms that control Vn multimerization. We report that Vn secreted by cultured hepatoma cells is present as a mixture of monomeric and multimeric forms. A single protein of Mr 45,000 co-purified with hepatoma cell-derived Vn, which was immunologically identified as type 1 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1). The possibility that PAI-1 may modulate Vn multimerization was investigated. The addition of active PAI-1 to unfractionated plasma containing Vn monomers resulted in the formation of covalently and noncovalently associated Vn multimers and expression of conformationally sensitive epitopes. In contrast, inactive forms of PAI-1 did not efficiently induce Vn multimerization and conformational change. Gel filtration analysis revealed that Vn remained multimeric after dissociation from PAI-1. Vn multimers were also assembled using purified monomeric Vn and PAI-1, suggesting that a plasma cofactor was not required to induce Vn multimerization. This study provides insights into physiological mechanism responsible for the generation of homomultimeric Vn, a multim...Continue Reading
