Research Abstract |
Chitinase J from alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. contained a catalytic domain, a fibronectin type III-like domain(FnIIID) and a chitin-binding domain(ChBD). A peptide sequence Arg-Gly-Asp(RGD) sequence locates within fibronectin, an extracellular matrix molecule, and interacts with cells via a cell surface receptor called integrin. Several kinds of RGD-fused FnIIID/ChBD and ChBD proteins were prepared and characterized. The fusion proteins indicated chitin-binding, integrin-binding and cell adhesive activities.
