Figure Lengend Snippet: Identification of the α v β 5 integrin-binding site in ISM. ( a ) Schematic diagrams showing the truncated ISM protein fragments produced as recombinant proteins in E. coli . Numbers refer to the amino acid position in the full-length secreted ISM protein. The positon of KD316AA mutation is indicated by the arrowhead. The black triangle at the right end of each truncated protein represent His-tag. ( b ) EC adhesion to various ISM protein fragments compared with 0.2% gelatin. 3% BSA was used as the negative control. ( c ) KD316AA mutation abolished the anti-tube formation activity of ISM
Article Snippet: siRNAs were purchased from 1st BASE (Singapore): siRNA targeting human β 3 integrin subunit mRNA (5′-CAAGCCUGUGUCACCAUAC-dTdT-3′); human β 5 subunit integrin mRNA (5′-GCUCGCAGGUCUCAACAUA-dTdT-3′); and a random sequence control siScramble (5′-GACGUGGGACUGAAGGGGU-dTdT-3′) were as described before.
