520 3 |a The 'transactivator of transcription' (TAT) protein of human immunodeficiency virus transforms cells in culture and promotes the development of tumors, socalled Kaposi's sarcoma, in AIDS patients. TAT induces growth and differentiation of blood vessels and has been suggested to directly activate VEGF receptor 2 expressed on endothelial cells through a peptide sequence located between amino acids 46 and 64, the so-called basic domain. This peptide mimics many aspects of TAT function when added to endothelial cells, even when expressed in the context of recombinant chimeric proteins. To define the exact sites of interaction between this peptide and VEGF receptor 2 we performed binding studies with recombinant proteins derived from the extracellular ligand binding domain of VEGF receptor 2. These in vitro binding studies showed that the TAT peptide binds with only low specificity to Iglike domain 3 of the receptor, while VEGF interacts with receptor-derived proteins encompassing at least extracellular domains 1 through 3. The original concept that the angiogenic properties of TAT basic peptide result from specific, high-affinity interaction with VEGF receptor 2 must therefore be revised. Apparently this peptide interacts with cells in multiple ways: by directly activating acidic cell surface-exposed receptors, by releasing extracellular matrix-bound growth factors such as bFGF and VEGF which then bind to their cognate receptors, and by activating intracellular signalling molecules with which basic peptide interacts upon translocation into cells.
