Disease relevance of Val-gly-ala-pro-gly

  • The hexapeptide VGVAPG is a particularly potent chemotaxin for lung-colonizing Lewis lung carcinoma cells (line M27), with 5 nM VGVAPG eliciting maximal chemotactic response when assayed in 48-microwell chemotaxis chambers [1].
  • To explore the possibility that tropoelastin contains additional peptide ligands for this elastin receptor, we have constructed two deletion proteins that are expressed in E. coli and lack the repeated VGVAPG sequence [2].

Associations of Val-gly-ala-pro-gly with other chemical compounds

  • We designed hybrid peptides, SIRVXVXPG (X: A or G), from a laminin-derived peptide, SIKVAV, and an elastin-derived peptide, VGVAPG, and tried to develop new alginate dressings linked covalently with the hybrid peptides [14].
 

Gene context of Val-gly-ala-pro-gly

  • Collectively, these data support a model whereby the elastin gene product, signaling through the VGVAPG domain, directly induces VSMC myofibrillogenesis [7].
  • In the present study, we show that kappa-elastin and VGVAPG hexapeptide elastin motif accelerated angiogenesis in the chick chorio-allantoic membrane in an in vivo model [15].
  • The hexapeptide repeat VGVAPG, the bovine elastin receptor binding peptide, is not encoded by rat tropoelastin cDNAs [16].
  • A hydrophobic peptide, VGVAPG, has been shown to be a ligand for a 67-kDa elastin cell surface receptor expressed on fetal bovine auricular chondrocytes and ligamentum nuchae fibroblasts [2].
