Revised Manuscript Received September 7, 19939 abstract: The major sites of heparin binding by fibronectin are located in fragments of 30 or 40 kDa that contain type III modules 12through 14or 15. Various proteolytic or recombinant subfragments andseveral synthetic peptides derived from this region have been compared with respect to their binding to fluoresceinlabeled heparinin solution. Binding was monitored by the change in fluorescence anisotropy at 25 C and pH 7.4 in 0.02 M Tris buffer, alone (TB) or with 0.15 M NaCl (TBS). A 23-kDa fragment containing III13 and III14 but lacking III12had K& values of 0.3 and 1.8 in TB and TBS, respectively, indistinguishable from the 30-kDa parent. Fragments containing only module III13 bound 2-3-fold weaker than the parent while those containing only III14 bound 6-50-fold weaker depending on the ionic strength. Fragments containing only III12 or IIIj5 failed to bind at all in TBS. A cationic peptide derived from the amino terminus of III13 and containing the Arg-Arg-Ala-Arg consensus sequence, whose integrity was shown by Barkalow and Schwarzbauer [Barkalow, FJ, & Schwarzbauer, J. E.(1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 7812-7818] to be critical, failed to bind in TBS but bound weakly in TB. Two additional cationic peptides derived from the middle and C-terminal regions of III14 showed similar behavior. Thus while the major determinant (s) of heparin binding are located in III 13, those determinants are only active when part of a properly folded structure. Furthermore, module III13 when isolated had a slightly lower affinity thanfragments containing both III13 and III14. It is concluded that interactions between these two modules may be important to arrange positively charged residues from both modules for optimal recognition by heparin.Fibronectin is a large glycoprotein which occurs on cell surfaces, in the connectivetissue matrix, and in extracellular fluids (Hynes, 1990). It consists of two very similar subunits of molecular mass 250 000 daltons, held together at the C-terminal region by disulfide bonds. Eachsubunit contains
