The region of fibronectin encompassing type III repeats 4-6 contains a low affinity heparin binding domain, but its physiological significance is not clear, We have studied whether this domain is able to interact with cells as already shown for other heparin binding domains of fibronectin, A computer search based on homologies with known active sites in fibronectin revealed the sequence KLDAPT located in FN-III5, A synthetic peptide containing this sequence induced lymphoid cell adhesion upon treatment with the activating anti-beta 1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) TS2/16 or with Mn2+ indicating that KLDAPT was binding to an integrin, A recombinant fragment containing repeat III5 (FN-III5) also mediated adhesion of TS2/16/Mn2+-treated cells while the FN-III6 fragment did not, Soluble KLDAPT peptide inhibited cell adhesion to FN-III5 as well as to a 38-kDa fibronectin fragment and VCAM-1, two previously known ligands for alpha 4 beta 1 integrin, KLDAPT also competed with the binding of soluble alkaline phosphatase-coupled VCAM-Ig to Mn2+-treated alpha 4 beta 1. Furthermore, mAbs anti-alpha 4 and anti-alpha 4 beta 7, but not mAbs to other integrins, inhibited cell adhesion to FN-III5 and KLDAPT, These results therefore establish a cell adhesive function for the FN-III5 repeat and show that KLDAPT is a novel fibronectin ligand for activated alpha 4 integrins.
