| Abstract | Control of the bioavailability of the growth factor TGFβ is essential for tissue formation and homeostasis, yet precisely how latent TGFβ is incorporated into the extracellular matrix is unknown. Here, we show that deposition of a large latent TGFβ complex (LLC), which contains latent TGFβ-binding protein 1 (LTBP-1), is directly dependent on the pericellular assembly of fibrillin microfibrils, which interact with fibronectin during higher-order fibrillogenesis. LTBP-1 formed pericellular arrays that colocalized with microfibrils, whereas fibrillin knockdown inhibited fibrillar LTBP-1 and/or LLC deposition. Blocking α5β1 integrin or supplementing cultures with heparin, which both inhibited microfibril assembly, disrupted LTBP-1 deposition and enhanced Smad2 phosphorylation. Full-length LTBP-1 bound only weakly to N-terminal pro-fibrillin-1, but this association was strongly enhanced by heparin. The microfibril-associated glycoprotein MAGP-1 (MFAP-2) inhibited LTBP-1 binding to fibrillin-1 and stimulated Smad2 phosphorylation. By contrast, fibulin-4, which interacted strongly with full-length LTBP-1, did not induce Smad2 phosphorylation. Thus, LTBP-1 and/or LLC deposition is dependent on pericellular microfibril assembly and is governed by complex interactions between LTBP-1, heparan sulfate, fibrillin-1 and microfibril-associated molecules. In this way, microfibrils control TGFβ bioavailability. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
