摘要: Abstract Cells whose proliferation is blocked by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) express three distinct surface glycoproteins of 53, 73, and 300 kDa that bind TGF-beta with high affinity, but function unknown. We have isolated two classes chemically-induced Mv1Lu epithelial cell mutants resistant to inhibition TGF-beta. Class R selectively lost expression the 53-kDa (type I) TGF-beta-binding protein. They also ability respond elevated fibronectin flattening. S normally do not TGF-beta-resistant retain a contact inhibited, nontransformed phenotype. The properties suggest they are defective in signal transduction mechanism, while results identify type I protein as receptor involved mediating actions on adhesion proliferation.
