Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5), the major bone IGFBP, modifies the biological activity of IGFs within the osteoblastic pericellular enviroment. Because glycosaminoglycans modulate IGFBP-5 binding to osteoblast organic e_xtracellular matrix (ECM), we assessed whether the heparin binding domain of IGFBP-5, IGFBP-5201-218, modifies the interaction of IGFBP-5 with the inorganic bone ECM, hydroxyapatite (HA). Synthetic IGFBP-5201-218 peptide increased the binding of IGFBP-5 to HA as well as the binding of IGF-I to HA-bound IGFBP-5. This action was specific for the heparin binding domain since IGFBP-5130-138, IGFBP-5138-152, and IGFBP-51-169 were without effect. IGFBP-5201-218 was found to bind directly to IGFBP-5 and cause a 3-fold enhancement of the IGF-I binding affinity for IGFBP-5, whether IGFBP-5 was bound to HA or was in a matrix-free fluid phase. Heparin inhibited the binding of IGFBP -5 to HA and blocked the interaction of IGFBP-5 with IGFBP-5201-218 in the fluid phase, suggesting that the primary heparin binding domain of IGFBP-5 specifically enhances the binding of IGFBP-5 to HA and increases IGF-I binding to IGFBP-5.
