Human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) is a polypeptide of 53 amino acids, is an important autocrine/paracrine factor in the human body, and is used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. We constructed a fusion hEGF protein with a collagen-binding domain (CBD) composed of 33 amino acids from Vibrio mimicus metalloprotease (VMCBD). The CBD segment of the metalloprotease was fused at the C terminus of the hEGF protein. The recombinant fusion protein was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified. The purified hEGF protein promoted greater growth of human/A-431 cells than did the control hEGF. The fusion EGF protein also showed collagen-binding activity with type I collagen. In contrast, hEGF did not bind to type I collagen. These results suggest that recombinant hEGF protein fused to VMCBD may be able to remain for a long period at injured epidermal tissue acting as a healing agent.
