Fibronectin, other cell-adhesion molecules, and their integrin receptors appear to play important roles in cell migration during embryonic development, tumour-cell invasion and metastasis, and wound healing (reviewd in [11). Recent studies have defined critical peptide-recognition regions in fibronectin that are required for its interactions with cell-surface receptors. For example, the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence is important for the functioning of the central cell-binding domain of fibronectin [Z-41, while the Leu-Asp-Val (LDV) and Arg-Glu-Asp-Val sequences in alternatively spliced regions of fibronectin are involved in cell-type specific adhesion by derivatives of the embryonic neural crest and by certain lymphocytes [5, 61. Conversely, a variety of integrin receptors can mediate cell adhesion and migration on fibronectin and other extracellular molecules [7-131. We have applied site-directed mutagenesis and monoclonal-antibody analysis to examine the molecular mechanisms of cell-surface interactions with fibronectin. We have focused in detail on the central cell-binding domain of fibronectin, which mediates cell attachment, cell spreading, and migration of a wide variety of cell types.
