The RGD motif in fibronectin is essential for development but dispensable for fibril assembly

Fibronectin (FN) is secreted as a disulfide-bonded FN dimer. Each subunit contains three types of repeating modules: FN-I, FN-II, and FN-III. The interactions of α5β1 or αv integrins with the RGD motif of FN-III repeat 10 (FN-III(10)) are considered an essential step in the assembly of FN fibrils. T...
