Laminin is a basement membrane-specific glycoprotein that promotes cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and tumor cell migration. Synthetic peptides from the amino acid sequence deduced from a cDNA clone of the B1 chain of laminin were tested for their ability to promote the migration of B16F10 melanoma cells. A peptide, CDPGYIGSR, that is able to mediate epithelial cell attachment to laminin was found to promote migration, and the constituent pentapeptide YIGSR was also active but to a lesser degree. This nine-amino acid peptide blocked migration of melanoma cells to laminin but had no effect on migration to fibronectin. These data suggest that the cell-binding site and migration site on laminin share a common sequence that is unique to laminin.
