We have analyzed the interaction of neural crest cells with fragments of fibronectin corresponding to the different spliced variants of the COOH-terminal cell-binding domain (COOH-ter CBD). We have shown that this domain can support cell adhesion and migration and that both the IIICS and HepII regions are involved in these events. The rate of locomotion is high, although undirectional, compared to that of whole fibronectin. Interactions with the COOH-ter CBD are controled by α₄β₁and maybe other β₁integrins and cell-surface proteoglycans. These receptors act cooperatively to mediate attachment, spreading, and migration on fibronectin.
