Attachment Proteins and Their Role in Extracellular Matrices

  • Chapter
The Biology of Glycoproteins

Abstract

It has long been appreciated that extracellular matrices provide tissues with their strength, stability, and structure (Gross, 1974; Hay, 1981a, b). However, the extracellular matrix itself was considered to be rather inert and to show little specificity. More recently, it has been established that different tissues contain unique matrices generated by the resident cells, such as those associated with fibrous tissues, cartilage, and basement membranes. The components of these different matrices, which include collagens, proteoglycans, and glycoproteins, are different in each tissue both in terms of type and amount (Bornstein and Sage, 1980; Burgeson et al., 1976; Chung and Miller, 1974; Levitt and Dorfman, 1974; Levitt et al., 1975; Goetinck et al., 1974; Royal and Goetinck, 1977; Kefalides et al., 1979; Hay, 1981a, b; Kleinman et al., 1981, 1982a; Miller et al., 1971; Miller and Matukas, 1969, 1974). Further, it appears likely that the proteins produced for the matrix of a given tissue show specific interactions that generate a supramolecular complex of defined stoichiometry. This supramolecular complex not only determines the physical properties of the tissue but also defines the phenotype of the cells in contact with it.
