## Abstract Plasminogen activator inhibitorβ1 (PAIβ1) binds to the somatomedin B (SMB) domain of vitronectin. It inhibits the adhesion of U937 cells to vitronectin by competing with the urokinase receptor (uPAR; CD87) on these cells for binding to the same domain. Although the inhibitor also blocks
Plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) is bound to vitronectin (VN) in plasma and in the extracellular matrix. We previously employed a domainswapping approach to show that the high-affinity binding site for PAI-1 in VN is contained within residues 12-30 in the amino-terminal somatomedin B (
