Mouse mammary epithelial cells (NMuMG cells) deposit at their basal surfaces an extracellular heparan sulfate-rich proteoglycan that binds to type I collagen. The binding of the purified proteoglycan to collagen was studied by (i) a solid phase assay, (ii) a suspension assay using preformed collagen fibrils, and (iii) a collagen fibril affinity column. The binding interaction occurs at physiological pH and ionic strength and can be inhibited only by salt concentrations that greatly exceed those found physiologically. Binding requires the intact proteoglycan since the protein-free glycosaminoglycan chains will not bind under the conditions of these assays. However, binding is mediated through the heparan sulfate chains as it can be inhibited by block- sulfated polysaccharides, including heparin. Binding requires native collagen structure which may be optimal when the collagen is in a fibrillar configuration. Binding sites on collagen fibrils are saturable, high affinity (Kd approximately 10(-10) M), and selective for heparin-like glycosaminoglycans. Because a culture substratum of type I collagen fibrils causes NMuMG cells to accumulate heparan sulfate proteoglycan into a basal lamina-like layer, binding of heparan sulfate proteoglycans to type I collagen may lead to the formation of a basal lamina and may link the basal lamina to the connective tissue matrix, an association found in basement membranes.
