A theoretical model is developed for cell-to-cell binding by bivalent ligands that can bind to mobile receptors on the cell surfaces. Monovalent inhibitors that can bind either to receptors or ligands are also included. For symmetrical ligands, that is, ligands in which both binding sites are the same, it is shown that crosslinking of receptors on each cell will interfere with intercellular bridge formation. At equilibrium, such interference is not drastic, but if the crosslinks can form before the cells are brought into contact, crosslinking may greatly impede the rate of intercellular binding. Comparison is made with experiments, and the importance of receptor mobility is discussed. It is noted that ligands can also bind a cell to itself or to a surface. 相似文献

Engineered receptor fragments and glycoprotein ligands employed in different assay formats have been used to dissect the basis for the dramatic enhancement of binding of two model membrane receptors, dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) and the macrophage galactose lectin, to glycoprotein ligands compared to simple sugars. These approaches make it possible to quantify the importance of two major factors that combine to enhance the affinity of single carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) for glycoprotein ligands by 100-to 300-fold. First, the presence of extended binding sites within a single CRD can enhance interaction with branched glycans, resulting in increases of fivefold to 20-fold in affinity. Second, presentation of glycans on a glycoprotein surface increases affinity by 15-to 20-fold, possibly due to low-specificity interactions with the surface of the protein or restriction in the conformation of the glycans. In contrast, when solution-phase networking is avoided, enhancement due to binding of multiple branches of a glycan to multiple CRDs in the oligomeric forms of these receptors is minimal and binding of a receptor oligomer to multiple glycans on a single glycoprotein makes only a twofold contribution to overall affinity. Thus, in these cases, multivalent interactions of individual glycoproteins with individual receptor oligomers have a limited role in achieving high affinity. These findings, combined with considerations of membrane receptor geometry, are consistent with the idea that further enhancement of the binding to multivalent glycoprotein ligands requires interaction of multiple receptor oligomers with the ligands. 相似文献

The binding pocket of family A GPCRs that bind small biogenic amines is well characterized. In this study we identify residues on CC chemokine receptor 7 (CCR-7) that are involved in agonist-mediated receptor activation but not in high affinity ligand binding. The mutations also affect the ability of the ligands to induce chemotaxis. Two of the residues, Lys3.33(137) and Gln5.42(227), are consistent with the binding pocket described for biogenic amines, while Lys3.26(130) and Asn7.32(305), are found at, or close to, the cell surface. Our observations are in agreement with findings from other peptide and chemokine receptors, which indicate that receptors that bind larger ligands contain contact sites closer to the cell surface in addition to the conventional transmembrane binding pocket. These findings also support the theory that chemokine receptors require different sets of interactions for high affinity ligand binding and receptor activation. 相似文献

Sulfated glycolipids and cell adhesion 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The adhesive glycoproteins laminin, thrombospondin, and von Willebrand factor bind specifically and with high affinity to sulfatides, and it is this binding that probably accounts for their ability to agglutinate glutaraldehyde-fixed erythrocytes. The three proteins differ, however, in the inhibition of their binding to sulfatides by sulfated polysaccharides. Fucoidan strongly inhibits binding of both laminin and thrombospondin, but not of von Willebrand factor, suggesting the involvement of laminin or thrombospondin, or other unknown sulfatide-binding proteins in specific cell interactions that are also inhibited by fucoidan. Thrombospondin adsorbed on plastic promotes the attachment and spreading of some melanoma cells. Interestingly, fucoidan and an antibody against the sulfatide-binding domain of thrombospondin selectively inhibit spreading but not attachment to thrombospondin-coated surfaces. Sulfatides, but not neutral glycolipids or gangliosides, when adsorbed on plastic also promote attachment and spreading of some cultured cell lines. Direct adhesion of melanoma cells requires high densities of adsorbed sulfatide. In the presence of laminin, however, specific adhesion of some cell types to sulfatide is strongly stimulated and requires only low densities of adsorbed lipid, suggesting that laminin is mediating adhesion by crosslinking receptors on the cell surface to sulfatide adsorbed on the plastic. Although thrombospondin also binds to sulfatides and to melanoma cells, it does not enhance but rather inhibits direct and laminin-dependent melanoma cell adhesion to sulfatide, presumably because it is unable to bind simultaneously to ligands on opposing surfaces. Thus, sulfated glycolipids can participate in both laminin- and thrombospondin-mediated cell adhesion, but their mechanisms of interaction are different. 相似文献

The influence of transport on the kinetics of binding to surface receptors: application to cells and BIAcore 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Accurate estimation of biomolecular reaction rates from binding data, when ligands in solution bind to receptors on the surfaces of cells or biosensors, requires an understanding of the contributions of both molecular transport and reaction. Efficient estimation of parameters requires relatively simple models. In this review, we give conditions under which various transport effects are negligible and identify simple binding models that incorporate the effects of transport, when transport cannot be neglected. We consider effects of diffusion of ligands to cell or biosensor surfaces, flow in a BIAcore biosensor, and distribution of receptors in a dextran layer above the sensor surface. We also give conditions under which soluble receptors can be expected to compete effectively with surface-bound receptors. 相似文献

Analysis of intracellular receptor/ligand sorting in endosomes 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
After binding to specific cell surface receptors, many extracellular ligand molecules are internalized via the process termed receptor-mediated endocytosis. Within the cell, in endosomes, a sorting process occurs: receptors and ligands are directed along various intracellular pathways. The extent of this intracellular separation of receptors from ligands has been shown experimentally to vary with receptor and ligand properties such as binding affinity and valency. In this paper, we propose and analyze a simple model mechanism for the sorting process based on binding and dissociation kinetics along with diffusive molecular transport. We show that the outcome of the sorting process can be directly linked to measurable parameters such as the intrinsic rate constants for the binding to, dissociation from, and crosslinking of receptors by ligands. We further show that this mechanism is able to account for the wide range of reported experimental observations. Manipulation of ligand and receptor properties guided by the results presented here may enable the outcome of the sorting process to be controlled. 相似文献

Clustering of ligand on the surface of a particle enhances adhesion to receptor-bearing cells 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Human leukocytes express a receptor that mediates the binding of cells and particles coated with C3bi, a fragment of the third component of complement. Previous data indicate that the capacity of this receptor to mediate binding is regulated by changes in its aggregation state. Randomly distributed receptors bind ligand very inefficiently, but stimulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes with phorbol esters causes a ligand-independent clustering of the receptors in the membrane, and the clustered receptors avidly bind C3bi-coated cells (1). We examined whether the aggregation state of surface-bound ligands also affects the efficiency of binding between receptors and ligands. We found that erythrocytes bearing C3bi in clusters were bound by both macrophages and polymorphonuclear leukocytes far more avidly than erythrocytes bearing the same number of ligands in random array. We made similar observations with erythrocytes coated with C3b, a ligand that is recognized by a separate receptor. Our observations show that the ability of a receptor-bearing cell to bind particles coated with the corresponding ligands is dramatically affected by the distribution of ligand on the surface of the particle. Cell-cell interactions may thus be regulated by alterations in the two-dimensional distribution of receptors and ligands on opposing cell surfaces. 相似文献

Several analytical methods have been used to determine whether ligands bind to bovine beta-lactoglobulin (betaLG). The most common methods are based on fluorescence quenching. We have miniaturised this method from a quartz cell to a 96-well plate. The miniaturisation was evaluated using retinol. The binding constants between the two methods demonstrated a good correlation. The 96-well plate method is much faster and allows many references to be used in the same analysis. The miniaturised method was used to study the binding of three different ligands (4-HPR, arotinoid, warfarinyl palmitate) modelled to bind to betaLG. The binding data showed that all of these ligands bound to betaLG. The method was further used to demonstrate that reindeer betaLG could also bind the four ligands in the same way as bovine betaLG. Because one aim is to use bovine and reindeer betaLG as a binder molecule for aliments in e.g. functional food or for drugs, the influence of pH was also studied and demonstrated that short-term acidic conditions had only a slight effect on the binding properties. 相似文献

Cellular retinoic acid-binding proteins (CRABPs) are carrier proteins thought to play a crucial role in the transport and metabolism of all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA) and its derivatives within the cell. This report describes a novel photoaffinity-based binding assay involving competition between potential ligands of CRABP and [(3)H]atRA or [(3)H]-9-cis-RA for binding to the atRA-binding sites of CRABP I and II. Photoaffinity labeling of purified CRABPs with [(3)H]atRA was light- and concentration-dependent, saturable, and protected by several retinoids in a concentration-dependent manner, indicating that binding occurred in the CRABP atRA-binding site. Structure-function relationship studies demonstrated that oxidative changes to the atRA beta-ionone ring did not affect ligand potency. However, derivatives lacking a terminal carboxyl group and some cis isomers did not bind to CRABPs. These studies also identified two novel ligands for CRABPs: 5,6-epoxy-RA and retinoyl-beta-D-glucuronide (RAG). The labeling of both CRABPs with 9-cis-RA occurred with much lower affinity. Experimental evidence excluded nonspecific binding of RAG to CRABPs and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases, the enzymes responsible for RAG synthesis. These results established that RAG is an effective ligand of CRABPs. Therefore, photoaffinity labeling with [(3)H]atRA can be used to identify new ligands for CRABP and retinoid nuclear receptors and also provide information concerning the identity of amino acid(s) localized in the atRA-binding site of these proteins. 相似文献

The alpha M beta 2 integrin of leukocytes can bind a variety of ligands. We screened phage display libraries to isolate peptides that bind to the alpha M I domain, the principal ligand binding site of the integrin. Only one peptide motif, (D/E)(D/E)(G/L)W, was obtained with this approach despite the known ligand binding promiscuity of the I domain. Interestingly, such negatively charged sequences are present in many known beta 2 integrin ligands and also in the catalytic domain of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). We show that purified beta 2 integrins bind to pro-MMP-2 and pro-MMP-9 gelatinases and that that the negatively charged sequence of the MMP catalytic domain is an active beta 2 integrin-binding site. Furthermore, a synthetic DDGW-containing phage display peptide inhibited the ability of beta 2 integrin to bind progelatinases but did not inhibit the binding of cell adhesion-mediating substrates such as intercellular adhesion molecule-1, fibrinogen, or an LLG-containing peptide. Immunoprecipitation and cell surface labeling demonstrated complexes of pro-MMP-9 with both the alpha M beta 2 and alpha L beta 2 integrins in leukocytes, and pro-MMP-9 colocalized with alpha M beta 2 in cell surface protrusions. The DDGW peptide and the gelatinase-specific inhibitor peptide CTTHWGFTLC blocked beta 2 integrin-dependent leukocyte migration in a transwell assay. These results suggest that leukocytes may move in a progelatinase-beta 2 integrin complex-dependent manner. 相似文献

Binding specificities and affinities of egf domains for ErbB receptors 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
ErbB receptor activation is a complex process and is dependent upon the type and number of receptors expressed on a given cell. Previous studies with defined combinations of ErbB receptors expressed in mammalian cells have helped elucidate specific biological responses for many of the recognized gene products that serve as ligands for these receptors. However, no study has examined the binding of these ligands in a defined experimental system. To address this issue, the relative binding affinities of the egf domains of eleven ErbB ligands were measured on six ErbB receptor combinations using a soluble receptor-ligand binding format. The ErbB2/4 heterodimer was shown to bind all ligands tested with moderate to very high affinity. In contrast, ErbB3 showed much more restrictive ligand binding specificity and measurable binding was observed only with heregulin, neuregulin2beta, epiregulin and the synthetic heregulin/egf chimera, biregulin. These studies also revealed that ErbB2 preferentially enhances ligand binding to ErbB3 or ErbB4 and to a lesser degree to ErbB1. 相似文献

CD47 is a ubiquitously expressed plasma membrane protein, also known as Integrin Associated Protein, that modulates cell adhesion both through alteration of the avidity of integrin binding and through interaction with its own ligands, the extracellular matrix protein thrombospondin (TSP) and the plasma membrane response regulator SIRPalpha1. We now show that CD47 expression on fibroblasts can induce intercellular adhesion resulting in cell aggregation in the absence of active integrins, SIRPalpha1 binding, and detectable TSP. CD47-expressing cells preferentially bind to other CD47-expressing cells, and intercellular adhesion requires stimulation by serum or a CD47-binding peptide from TSP. Cell-cell adhesion is inhibited by pertussis toxin and C. difficile toxin B, and both adherent and aggregating CD47-expressing fibroblasts have more rac in the GTP bound state than CD47-deficient cells. Spontaneous migration of Jurkat lymphocytes through a fibroblast monolayer is decreased by fibroblast expression of CD47, consistent with an increased barrier function of the CD47 expressing cells. The lymphocyte chemoattractant SDF-1alpha stimulates migration of Jurkat cells through this monolayer only if both the lymphocytes and fibroblasts express CD47, and the inhibition of migration by a CD47-interacting peptide from TSP similarly requires CD47 expression on both cell types. Thus, signaling dependent on both heterotrimeric and rho family GTPases can induce CD47 to participate in cell-cell interactions independent of known ligands that enhance intercellular adhesion and modulate cell migration. 相似文献

Cubilin and megalin are giant glycoprotein receptors abundant on the luminal surface of proximal tubular cells of the kidney. We showed previously that light chains are a ligand for cubilin. As cubilin and megalin share a number of common ligands, we further investigated the ligand specificity of these receptors. Three lines of evidence suggest that light chains can also bind megalin: 1) anti-megalin antiserum largely displaces brush-border light chain binding and megalin-expressing BN-16 cell uptake more than anti-cubilin antiserum, 2) direct binding studies on isolated proteins using surface plasmon resonance techniques confirm that megalin binds light chains, and 3) light chains compete with known megalin ligands for brush-border membrane binding and BN-16 cell uptake. The megalin-light chain interaction is divalent ion dependent and similar for both kappa- and lambda-light chains. A fit of the data on light chain binding to megalin over a concentration range 0.078-2.5 mg/ml leads to an estimated dissociation constant of 6 x 10(-5) M, corresponding approximately to one light chain-binding site per megalin and in the same range for dissociation constants for cubilin binding. These data suggest that light chains bind the tandem megalin-cubilin complex. Megalin is the major mediator of light chain entry into megalin-expressing membrane such as the apical surface of proximal tubular epithelial cells. 相似文献

The text book view of cell surface receptors depicts them at the top of a vertical chain of command that starts with ligand binding and proceeds in a lineal fashion towards the cell nucleus. Although pedagogically useful, this view is incomplete and recent findings suggest that the extracellular domain of cell surface receptors can be a transmitter as much as a receiver in intercellular communication. GFRα1 is a GPI-anchored receptor for GDNF (glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor), a neuronal growth factor with widespread functions in the developing and adult nervous system. GFRα1 partners with transmembrane proteins, such as the receptor tyrosine kinase RET or the cell adhesion molecule NCAM, for intracellular transmission of the GDNF signal. In addition to this canonical role, GFRα1 can also engage in horizontal interactions and thereby modify the function of other cell surface components. GFRα1 can also function as a ligand-induced adhesion cell molecule, mediating homophilic cell-cell interactions in response to GDNF. Finally, GFRα1 can also be released from the cell surface and act at a distance as a soluble factor together with its ligand. This plethora of unconventional mechanisms is likely to be a feature common to several other receptors and considerably expands our view of cell surface receptor function. 相似文献

The integrins are a superfamily of cell adhesion receptors that bind to extracellular matrix ligands, cell-surface ligands, and soluble ligands. They are transmembrane αβ heterodimers and at least 18 α and eight β subunits are known in humans, generating 24 heterodimers. Members of this family have been found in mammals, chicken and zebrafish, as well as lower eukaryotes, including sponges, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (two α and one β subunits, generating two integrins) and the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster (five α and one β, generating five integrins). The α and β subunits have distinct domain structures, with extracellular domains from each subunit contributing to the ligand-binding site of the heterodimer. The sequence arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) was identified as a general integrin-binding motif, but individual integrins are also specific for particular protein ligands. Immunologically important integrin ligands are the intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs), immunoglobulin superfamily members present on inflamed endothelium and antigen-presenting cells. On ligand binding, integrins transduce signals into the cell interior; they can also receive intracellular signals that regulate their ligand-binding affinity. Here we provide a brief overview that concentrates mostly on the organization, structure and function of mammalian integrins, which have been more extensively studied than integrins in other organisms. 相似文献

The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) can bind to and activate fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1). However, there are four major FGFR isoforms (FGFR1-FGFR4), and it is not known whether NCAM also interacts directly with the other three FGFR isoforms. In this study, we show by surface plasmon resonance analysis that NCAM can bind to FGFR2 with an affinity similar to that for the NCAM-FGFR1 interaction. However, the kinetic parameters for the NCAM-FGFR2 binding are different from those of the NCAM-FGFR1 binding. Both receptors were shown to cycle relatively fast between the NCAM bound and unbound states, although FGFR2 cycling was clearly faster (13 times) than the FGFR1 cycling. Moreover, ATP was more effective in inhibiting the binding of NCAM to FGFR1 than to FGFR2, indicating that the binding sites in NCAM for the two receptors are similar, but not identical. 相似文献

BMP-3 and BMP-6 structures illuminate the nature of binding specificity with receptors 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are extracellular messenger ligands involved in controlling a wide array of developmental and intercellular signaling processes. To initiate their specific intracellular signaling pathways, the ligands recognize and bind two structurally related serine/threonine kinase receptors, termed type I and type II, on the cell surface. Here, we present the crystal structures of BMP-3 and BMP-6, of which BMP-3 has remained poorly understood with respect to its receptor identity, affinity, and specificity. Using surface plasmon resonance (BIAcore) we show that BMP-3 binds Activin Receptor type II (ActRII) with Kd approximately 1.8 microM but ActRIIb with 30-fold higher affinity at Kd approximately 53 nM. This low affinity for ActRII may involve Ser-28 and Asp-33 of BMP-3, which are found only in BMP-3's type II receptor-binding interfaces. Point mutations of either residue to alanine results in up to 20-fold higher affinity to either receptor. We further demonstrate by Smad-based whole cell luciferase assays that the increased affinity of BMP-3S28A to ActRII enables the ligand's signaling ability to a level comparable to that of BMP-6. Focusing on BMP-3's preference for ActRIIb, we find that Lys-76 of ActRII and the structurally equivalent Glu-76 of ActRIIb are distinct between the two receptors. We demonstrate that ActRIIbE76K and ActRII bind BMP-3 with similar affinity, indicating BMP-3 receptor specificity is controlled by the interaction of Lys-30 of BMP-3 with Glu-76 of ActRIIb. These studies illustrate how a single amino acid can regulate the specificity of ligand-receptor binding and potentially alter biological signaling and function in vivo. 相似文献
