Heparin Binding Growth Factors

As assessed by competitive binding and protein-crosslinking experiments, Drosophila melanogaster cells possess basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-specific binding proteins that are similar to FGF receptors on vertebrate cells in molecular weight and binding affinity; these D. melanogaster cells, however, have no detectable binding proteins for acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF). Consistent with the presence of bFGF-specific binding proteins, D. melanogaster cells degrade bFGF but not aFGF. These results indicate the conservation of heparin-binding growth factors and receptors between vertebrates and D. melanogaster.
