We show how the linear special conformal transformation in four-dimensional N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory is metamorphosed into the nonlinear and field-dependent transformation for the collective coordinates of Dirichlet 3-branes, which agrees with the transformation law for the space-time coordinates in the anti{endash}de Sitter (AdS) space-time. Our result provides a new and strong support for the conjectured relation between AdS{sub 5}{times} S{sup 5} supergravity and super-Yang-Mills theory (SYM). Furthermore, our work sheds elucidating light on the nature of the AdS/SYM correspondence. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
