The human red blood cell transglutaminase (hRBC TG2) was the first in this family of enzymes for which an important role in cell–matrix interaction was found by demonstrating that the protein—when released from cells—could form an extremely tight complex with human fibronectin (FN). The binding, with a stoichiometry of 2TG2: FN (ie, 1TG2 per constituent chain of FN), is independent of the catalytic activity of TG2 and occurs in the absence as well as in the presence of Ca2+ ions [1–3]. Residues 81–106 of TG2, located at the extended hairpin between antiparallel β strands 5 and 6 of the first domain of the protein, seem to be essential for binding to FN; mutations of Asp94 and Asp97 to Ala reduce the binding affinity of TG2 to FN significantly. A synthetic peptide, corresponding to the sequence 88WTATVVDQQDCTLSLQLTT106 in TG2, inhibits the TG2–FN interaction, and also TG2-dependent cell adhesion and spreading [4]. The complementary binding sites of FN are located in a 42-kDa collagen-binding domain of the protein, comprising motifs I6-II1-II2-I7-I8-I9. This fragment shows as high an affinity for TG2 as the individual parent FN chains themselves [5]; furthermore, the 42-kDa fragment of FN can neutralize the functions of TG2 on cell surfaces [6]. Binding to TG2 is so specific that an affinity column made by coupling the 42-kDa fragment of FN to a gel matrix can be used for isolating hRBC TG2 to the highest purity with a single passage of hemoglobin-depleted erythrocyte lysate [5](Figure 1A). This procedure was employed for purifying the TG2 protein on which nucleotide-binding studies were carried out [7], and on which the large conformational change—attendant to binding GTP—could be demonstrated by transition from a slowmoving, extended structure to a faster moving, compact configuration in nondenaturing electrophoresis [8](Figure 1B).
