Specific cellular adhesion and migration of cells are recurring themes in embryonic development, tumor cell metastasis, and wound healing. Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular basis of cell adhesive and migratory interactions with extracellular matrix molecules have converged on the concept that many cell interactions are dependent on specific adhesive recognition sequences (reviewed in Refs. 1-8). As will be described in detail below, certain short peptide sequences in adhesion proteins are thought to serve as sites for recognition and binding by specific plasma membrane receptors (Table I). A number of specific cell surface receptors, particularly integrins, mediate the adhesion of cells to fibronectin, laminin, or collagen by recognizing different, specific peptide sequences in each (Fig. 1). Moreover, some receptors can recognize the same specific sequence in several different proteins (1-5, 8). Conversely, a single adhesion protein can contain several different sequences that are recognized by distinct receptors (1-8). The existence of so many potential combinations of binding activities provides considerable complexity to the repertoire of interactions possible for an individual cell.
