The extracellular domain of proHB-EGF interacts with monkey fibulin-1C (Additional file 1).
Nidogen is a basement membrane protein composed of three globular domains G1-G3 and two linking sequences; domain G1 is joined to domain G2 through a flexible link and domain G2 is connected to domain G3 by a rod-like element consisting of EGF-like modules [ 47 ] . Nidogen1 is an important structural component of tertiary complexes with other such extracellular components as laminins, collagen IV, perlecan, and fibulins [ 48 ] . Fibulin-1C binds to nidogen1 through domain G2 of nidogen [ 48 ] . The nidogen binding site of fibulin-1C includes the type II EGF-like modules 6-9 and the carboxyl-terminal domain [ 42 ] .
The results presented in this paper now suggest that there is potential in carrying out experiments to further delineate the molecular interactions between proHB-EGF and LTBP-3 and between proHB-EGF and fibulin-1C.
The sequences for monkey LTBP-3 and monkey fibulin-1c have been submitted to the GenBank database under the accession numbers AF395658 and AF395659 respectively.
Fibronectin contains three types of homology sequences, I-III; type I sequences bind heparin, Staphylococcus aureus, fibrin, and cell surfaces, type II sequences bind collagen and gelatin, and type III sequences bind DNA, cell surfaces, heparin, and fibulin-1 [ 40 43 ] . Fibulin-1 interacts with fibronectin through a heparin-binding region in type III 13 repeat; the binding of fibulin-1 to this site is independent of the binding of heparin as addition of exogenous heparin does not inhibit fibulin-1 binding to fibronectin [ 40 ] . The fibronectin-binding site in fibulin-1 is located in EGF-like modules 5 and 6 [ 44 ] ; the binding of fibulin-1 to fibronectin is a heterotypic interaction in which an EGF-like module binds to a non EGF-like domain (the type III 13 fibronectin repeat) [ 40 ] .
