Many integrin receptors localize to focal contact sites upon binding their ligand. However, unoccupied integrin receptors do not localize to focal contact sites. Because the integrin beta 1 cytoplasmic domain appears to have a focal contact localization signal, there must be a mechanism by which this domain is kept inactive in the unoccupied state and becomes exposed or activated in the occupied receptor. We considered that this mechanism involves the alpha subunit cytoplasmic domain. To test this hypothesis, we have established two NIH 3T3 cell lines that express either the human alpha 1 wild-type subunit (HA1 cells) or the cytoplasmic domain deleted alpha 1 subunit (CYT cells). Both cell lines express similar levels of the human alpha 1 subunit, and there is no significant effect of the deletion on the dimerization and surface expression of the receptor. Furthermore, the deletion had no effect on the binding or adhesion via alpha 1 beta 1 to its ligand collagen IV. However, when these two cell lines are plated on fibronectin (FN), which is a ligand for alpha 5 beta 1 but not for alpha 1 beta 1, there is a striking difference in the cellular localization of alpha 1 beta 1. The HA1 cells show only alpha 5 in focal contacts, without alpha 1, demonstrating that all of the integrin localization is ligand dependent. In contrast, when the CYT cells are plated on FN, the mutant alpha 1 appears in focal contacts along with the alpha 5/beta 1. Thus, there is both ligand-dependent (alpha 5/beta 1) and ligand-independent (alpha 1/beta 1) focal contact localization in these cells. The truncated alpha 1 also localized to focal contacts in a ligand-independent manner on vitronectin. We conclude that the mutant alpha 1 no longer requires ligand occupancy for focal contact localization. These data strongly suggest that the alpha cytoplasmic domain plays a role in the normal ligand-dependent integrin focal contact localization. 相似文献

The beta subunit cytoplasmic domains of integrin adhesion receptors are necessary for the connection of these receptors to the actin cytoskeleton. The cytoplasmic protein, talin, binds to beta integrin cytoplasmic tails and actin filaments, hence forming an integrin-cytoskeletal linkage. We used recombinant structural mimics of beta(1)A, beta(1)D and beta(3) integrin cytoplasmic tails to characterize integrin-binding sites within talin. Here we report that an integrin-binding site is localized within the N-terminal talin head domain. The binding of the talin head domain to integrin beta tails is specific in that it is abrogated by a single point mutation that disrupts integrin localization to talin-rich focal adhesions. Integrin-cytoskeletal interactions regulate integrin affinity for ligands (activation). Overexpression of a fragment of talin containing the head domain led to activation of integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3); activation was dependent on the presence of both the talin head domain and the integrin beta(3) cytoplasmic tail. The head domain of talin thus binds to integrins to form a link to the actin cytoskeleton and can thus regulate integrin function. 相似文献

Syndecan-4 modulates focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

The cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan syndecan-4 acts in conjunction with the alpha(5)beta(1) integrin to promote the formation of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions in fibronectin (FN)-adherent cells. Fibroblasts seeded onto the cell-binding domain (CBD) fragment of FN attach but do not fully spread or form focal adhesions. Activation of Rho, with lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), or protein kinase C, using the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, or clustering of syndecan-4 with antibodies directed against its extracellular domain will stimulate formation of focal adhesions and stress fibers in CBD-adherent fibroblasts. The distinct morphological differences between the cells adherent to the CBD and to full-length FN suggest that syndecan-4 may influence the organization of the focal adhesion or the activation state of the proteins that comprise it. FN-null fibroblasts (which express syndecan-4) exhibit reduced phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) tyrosine 397 (Tyr(397)) when adherent to CBD compared with FN-adherent cells. Treating the CBD-adherent fibroblasts with LPA, to activate Rho, or the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor sodium vanadate increased the level of phosphorylation of Tyr(397) to match that of cells plated on FN. Treatment of the fibroblasts with PMA did not elicit such an effect. To confirm that this regulatory pathway includes syndecan-4 specifically, we examined fibroblasts derived from syndecan-4-null mice. The phosphorylation levels of FAK Tyr(397) were lower in FN-adherent syndecan-4-null fibroblasts compared with syndecan-4-wild type and these levels were rescued by the addition of LPA or re-expression of syndecan-4. These data indicate that syndecan-4 ligation regulates the phosphorylation of FAK Tyr(397) and that this mechanism is dependent on Rho but not protein kinase C activation. In addition, the data suggest that this pathway includes the negative regulation of a protein-tyrosine phosphatase. Our results implicate syndecan-4 activation in a direct role in focal adhesion regulation. 相似文献

The integrins have recently been implicated in signal transduction. A likely mediator of integrin signaling is focal adhesion kinase (pp125FAK or FAK), a structurally distinct protein tyrosine kinase that becomes enzymatically activated upon engagement of integrins with their ligands. A second candidate signaling molecule is paxillin, a focal adhesion associated, cytoskeletal protein that coordinately becomes phosphorylated on tyrosine upon activation of pp125FAK. Paxillin physically complexes with two protein tyrosine kinases, pp60src and Csk (COOH-terminal src kinase), and the oncoprotein p47gag-crk, each of which could function as part of a paxillin signaling complex. Using an in vitro assay we have established that the cytoplasmic domain of the beta 1 integrin can bind to paxillin and pp125FAK from chicken embryo cell lysates. The NH2-terminal, noncatalytic domain of pp125FAK can bind directly to the cytoplasmic tail of beta 1 and recognizes integrin sequences distinct from those involved in binding to alpha-actinin. Paxillin binding is independent of pp125FAK binding despite the fact that both bind to the same region of beta 1. These results demonstrate that the cytoplasmic domain of the beta subunits of integrins contain binding sites for both signaling molecules and structural proteins suggesting that integrins can coordinate the generation of cytoplasmic signals in addition to their role in anchoring components of the cytoskeleton. 相似文献

We previously demonstrated contrasting roles for integrin alpha subunits and their cytoplasmic domains in controlling cell cycle withdrawal and the onset of terminal differentiation (Sastry, S., M. Lakonishok, D. Thomas, J. Muschler, and A.F. Horwitz. 1996. J. Cell Biol. 133:169-184). Ectopic expression of the integrin alpha5 or alpha6A subunit in primary quail myoblasts either decreases or enhances the probability of cell cycle withdrawal, respectively. In this study, we addressed the mechanisms by which changes in integrin alpha subunit ratios regulate this decision. Ectopic expression of truncated alpha5 or alpha6A indicate that the alpha5 cytoplasmic domain is permissive for the proliferative pathway whereas the COOH-terminal 11 amino acids of alpha6A cytoplasmic domain inhibit proliferation and promote differentiation. The alpha5 and alpha6A cytoplasmic domains do not appear to initiate these signals directly, but instead regulate beta1 signaling. Ectopically expressed IL2R-alpha5 or IL2R-alpha6A have no detectable effect on the myoblast phenotype. However, ectopic expression of the beta1A integrin subunit or IL2R-beta1A, autonomously inhibits differentiation and maintains a proliferative state. Perturbing alpha5 or alpha6A ratios also significantly affects activation of beta1 integrin signaling pathways. Ectopic alpha5 expression enhances expression and activation of paxillin as well as mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase with little effect on focal adhesion kinase (FAK). In contrast, ectopic alpha6A expression suppresses FAK and MAP kinase activation with a lesser effect on paxillin. Ectopic expression of wild-type and mutant forms of FAK, paxillin, and MAP/erk kinase (MEK) confirm these correlations. These data demonstrate that (a) proliferative signaling (i.e., inhibition of cell cycle withdrawal and the onset of terminal differentiation) occurs through the beta1A subunit and is modulated by the alpha subunit cytoplasmic domains; (b) perturbing alpha subunit ratios alters paxillin expression and phosphorylation and FAK and MAP kinase activation; (c) quantitative changes in the level of adhesive signaling through integrins and focal adhesion components regulate the decision of myoblasts to withdraw from the cell cycle, in part via MAP kinase. 相似文献

By using transient elevations of cytosolic free calcium levels triggered by integrin antibody or laminin (Kwon, M. S., Park, C. S., Choi, K., Park, C.-S., Ahnn, J., Kim, J. I., Eom, S. H., Kaufman, S. J., and Song, W. K. (2000) Mol. Biol. Cell 11, 1433-1443), we have demonstrated that protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is implicated in the regulation of reversible phosphorylation of integrin. In E63 skeletal myoblasts, the treatment of PP2A inhibitors such as okadaic acid and endothall induces an increase of phosphorylation of integrin beta1A and thereby inhibits integrin-induced elevation of cytosolic calcium level and formation of focal adhesions. None of these effects were in differentiated myotubes expressing the alternate beta1D isoform. In the presence of okadaic acid, PP2A in association with integrin beta1A was reduced on myoblasts, whereas beta1D on myotubes remained bound with PP2A. Both co-immunoprecipitation and in vitro phosphatase assays revealed that dephosphorylation of residues Thr788-Thr789 in the integrin beta1A cytoplasmic domain is dependent upon PP2A activity. Mutational analysis of the cytoplasmic domain and confocal microscopy experiments indicated that substitution of Thr788-Thr789 with Asn788-Asn789 is of critical importance for regulating the function of integrin beta1. These results suggest that PP2A may be a primary regulator of threonine phosphorylation of integrin beta1A and subsequent activation of downstream signaling molecules. Taken together, we propose that dephosphorylation of residues Thr788-Thr789 in the cytoplasmic domain of integrin beta1A may contribute to the linkage of integrins to focal adhesion sites and induce the association with cytoskeleton proteins. The switch of integrin beta1A to beta1D isoform in myotubes therefore may be a mechanism to escape from phospho-regulation by PP2A and promotes a more stable association of the cytoskeleton with the extracellular matrix. 相似文献

In the present study, the functional role of suggested phosphorylation of the conserved threonines in the cytoplasmic domain of integrin subunit beta1 was investigated. Mutants mimicking phosphorylated and unphosphorylated forms of beta1 were expressed in beta1 deficient GD25 cells. T788 in beta1 was identified as a site with major influence on integrin function. The mutation to A788 strongly reduced beta1-dependent cell attachment and exposure of the extracellular 9EG7 epitope, whereas replacement of T789 with alanine did not interfere with the ligand-binding ability. Talin has been shown to mediate integrin activation, but the talin head domain bound equally well to the wild-type beta1 and the mutants indicating that the T788A mutation caused defect integrin activation by another mechanism. The phosphorylation-mimicking mutation T788D was fully active in promoting cell adhesion. GD25 cells expressing beta1T788D accumulated increased number of focal contacts and migrated slowly compared to GD25 beta1 wild-type. An analogous phenotype is seen when focal adhesion kinase activation is abrogated. However, neither the beta1T788D nor the beta1T788A mutation failed to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase. The results suggest that phosphorylation of T788 in integrin beta1 promotes inside-out receptor activation, as well as focal contact accumulation. 相似文献

Immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily members are abundant with diverse functions including cell adhesion in various tissues. Here, we identified and characterized a novel adhesion molecule that belongs to the CTX protein family and named as DICAM (Dual Ig domain containing cell adhesion molecule). DICAM is a type I transmembrane protein with two V-type Ig domains in the extracellular region and a short cytoplasmic tail of 442 amino acids. DICAM is found to be expressed ubiquitously in various organs and cell lines. Subcellular localization of DICAM was observed in the cell-cell contact region and nucleus of cultured epithelial cells. Cell-cell contact region was colocalized with tight junction protein, ZO-1. The DICAM increased MDCK cell adhesion to 60% levels of fibronectin. DICAM mediated cell adhesion was specific for the alphavbeta3 integrin; other integrins, alpha2, alpha5, beta1, alpha2beta1, alpha5beta1, were not involved in cell adhesion. In identifying the interacting domain of DICAM with alphavbeta3, the Ig domain 2 showed higher cell adhesion activity than that of Ig domain 1. Although RGD motif in Ig domain 2 was engaged in cell adhesion, it was not participated in DICAM-alphavbeta3 mediated cell adhesion. Furthermore, differentially expressing DICAM stable cells showed well correlated cell to cell adhesion capability with integrin beta3-overexpressing cells. Collectively, these results indicate that DICAM, a novel dual Ig domain containing adhesion molecule, mediates cell adhesion via alphavbeta3 integrin. 相似文献

Engagement of integrin receptors by the extracellular matrix (ECM) protein fibronectin (FN) activates intracellular signaling, cytoskeletal reorganization and cellular tension. The soluble factor lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) acts through Rho GTPase and its effector Rho kinase (ROCK) to enhance α5β1 integrin-mediated cell spreading on the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) cell-binding domain of FN. A second cell-binding site for α4 integrins resides in the CS1 segment of the alternatively spliced V region of FN. We show here that LPA treatment of α4β1-expressing CHOα4 cells on FN induced a significant decrease in spread cell area. LPA also decreased apoptosis induced by serum-deprivation in CHOα4 and human A375 melanoma cells in an α4β1-dependent manner. Improvement in cell viability and changes in cell morphology were dependent on ROCK and on the number of substrate binding sites for α4β1. LPA signaling combined with α4β1-mediated adhesion appears to sustain cell viability in situations where FN matrix is limiting. Such cooperation may impact dynamic cellular events such as wound healing, fibrosis, and metastasis. 相似文献

We have previously shown that the transcellular migration of rat ascites hepatoma (AH130-MM1) cells through a cultured mesothelial cell monolayer (MCL) is triggered with lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) that stimulates actin polymerization and myosin light chain phosphorylation through the activation of Rho-ROCK (Rho-kinase) cascade. When, however, the motility of MM1 cells on a glass surface was tested by phagokinetic track motility assay, LPA failed to induce the motility. Nevertheless, when the glass had been coated with fibronectin (FN), LPA could induce phagokinetic motility which was accompanied by transformation of MM1 cells to fusiform-shape and assembly of focal adhesion. beta1 integrin, the counter receptor of FN, was expressed on MM1 cells. Anti-FN antibody, anti-beta1 integrin antibody and cyclo-GRGDSPA remarkably suppressed LPA-induced phagokinetic motility. These antibodies suppressed LPA-induced transcellular migration through MCL, as well. These results indicate that actin polymerization and phosphorylation of myosin light chain through Rho activation are insufficient for inducing motility but the cooperative FN/beta1 integrin-mediated adhesion is necessary for both the phagokinetic motility and transcellular migration of MM1 cells. 相似文献

Syndecans are transmembrane proteoglycans that support integrin-mediated adhesion. Well documented is the contribution of syndecan-4 that interacts through its heparan sulphate chains to promote focal adhesion formation in response to fibronectin domains. This process has requirements for integrin and signaling through the cytoplasmic domain of syndecan-4. Here an alternate pathway mediated by the extracellular domains of syndecans-2 and -4 is characterized that is independent of both heparan sulphate and syndecan signaling. This pathway is restricted to mesenchymal cells and was not seen in any epithelial cell line tested, apart from vascular endothelia. The syndecan ectodomains coated as substrates promoted integrin-dependent attachment, spreading and focal adhesion formation. Syndecan-4 null cells were competent, as were fibroblasts compromised in heparan sulphate synthesis that were unable to form focal adhesions in response to fibronectin. Consistent with actin cytoskeleton organization, the process required Rho-GTP and Rho kinase. While syndecan-2 and -4 ectodomains could both promote integrin-mediated adhesion, their pathways were distinct, as shown by competition assays. Evidence for an indirect interaction of beta1 integrin with both syndecan ectodomains was obtained, all of which suggests a distinct mechanism of integrin-mediated adhesion. 相似文献

The mechanical properties of integrin-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions are important for the mechanotransduction of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), a process that is associated with focal adhesions, and can be of particular significance in cardiovascular disease. In this study, we characterized the unbinding force and binding activity of the initial fibronectin (FN)-alpha5beta1 interaction on the surface of VSMC using atomic force microscopy (AFM). It is postulated that these initial binding events are important to the subsequent focal adhesion assembly. FN-VSMC adhesions were selectively blocked by antibodies against alpha5- and beta1-integrins as well as RGD-containing peptides but not by antibodies against alpha4- and beta3-integrins, indicating that FN primarily bound to alpha5beta1. A characteristic unbinding force of 39 +/- 8 pN was observed and interpreted to represent the FN-alpha5beta1 single-bond strength. The ability of FN to adhere to VSMC (binding probability) was significantly reduced by integrin antagonists, serum starvation, and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB, whereas lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) increased FN binding. However, no significant change in the resolved unbinding force was observed. After engagement, the force required to dislodge the FN-coated bead from VSMC increased with increasing of contact time, suggesting a time-dependent increase in number of adhesions and/or altered binding affinity. LPA enhanced this process, whereas PDGF reduced it, suggesting that these factors also affect the multimolecular process of focal contact assembly. Thus AFM is a powerful tool for the characterization of the mechanical properties of integrin-ECM interactions and their regulation. Our results indicate that the functional activity of alpha5beta1 and focal contact assembly can be rapidly regulated. 相似文献

Integrin activation in bovine placentomes and in caruncular epithelial cells isolated from pregnant cows 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In the bovine synepitheliochorial placenta, restricted trophoblast invasion requires complex interactions of integrin receptors with proteins of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and integrin receptors of neighboring cells. Activated integrins assemble to focal adhesions and are linked to the actin cytoskeleton via signaling molecules including alpha-actinin (ACTN), focal adhesion kinase (PTK2 or FAK), phosphotyrosine, and talin (TLN1). Aims of this study were to assess integrin activation and focal adhesion assembly within epithelial cells of bovine placentomes and low-passage (not transformed) placentomal caruncular epithelial cells cultured on dishes coated with ECM proteins. Immunofluorescence analysis was performed to colocalize the signaling molecules ACTN, PTK2, phosphotyrosine, and TLN1 with each other and with beta(1)-integrin (ITGB1) in placentomal cryosections throughout pregnancy and in caruncular epithelial cells in vitro. Antibody specificity was confirmed by Western blot. Cells were cultured on uncoated dishes, and the dishes were coated with fibronectin (FN), laminin (LAMA), and collagen type IV (COL4), thereby statistically assessing cell number and qualitatively assessing the expression pattern of ITGB1, phosphotyrosine, and TLN1. Results demonstrated integrin activation and focal adhesion assembly in the placentome and that low-passage caruncular epithelial cells maintain integrin-associated properties observed in vivo. Expression and/or colocalization of signaling molecules with ITGB1 confirmed, for the first time, integrin activation and participation in "outside-in" and "inside-out" signaling pathways. The prominent role of ECM, and FN in particular, in integrin signaling is supported by the in vitro enhancement of proliferation and focal adhesion expression. Thus, this in vitro model provides excellent potential for further mechanistic studies designed to elucidate feto-maternal interactions in the bovine placentome. 相似文献

Integrin-mediated cell-matrix adhesion plays an important role in control of cell behavior. We report here that MIG-2, a widely expressed focal adhesion protein, interacts with beta1 and beta3 integrin cytoplasmic domains. Integrin binding is mediated by a single site within the MIG-2 FERM domain. Functionally, the MIG-2/integrin interaction recruits MIG-2 to focal adhesions. Furthermore, using alphaIIbbeta3 integrin-expressing Chinese hamster ovary cells, a well described model system for integrin activation, we show that MIG-2 promotes integrin activation and enhances cell-extracellular matrix adhesion. Although MIG-2 is expressed in many cell types, it is deficient in certain colon cancer cells. Expression of MIG-2, but not of an integrin binding-defective MIG-2 mutant, in MIG-2-null colon cancer cells strengthened cell-matrix adhesion, promoted focal adhesion formation, and reduced cell motility. These results suggest that the MIG-2/integrin interaction is an important element in the cellular control of integrin-mediated cell-matrix adhesion and that loss of this interaction likely contributes to high motility of colon cancer cells. 相似文献

Integrin transmembrane receptors generate multiple signals, but how they mediate specific signaling is not clear. Here we test the hypothesis that particular sequences along the beta(1) integrin cytoplasmic domain may exist that are intimately related to specific integrin-mediated signaling pathways. Using systematic alanine mutagenesis of amino acids conserved between different beta integrin cytoplasmic domains, we identified the tryptophan residue at position 775 of human beta(1) integrin as specific and necessary for integrin-mediated protein kinase B/Akt survival signaling. Stable expression of a beta(1) integrin mutated at this amino acid in GD25 beta(1)-null cells resulted in reduction of Akt phosphorylation at both Ser(473) and Thr(308) activation sites. As a consequence, the cells were substantially more sensitive to serum starvation-induced apoptosis when compared with cells expressing wild type beta(1) integrin. This inactivation of Akt resulted from increased dephosphorylation by a localized active population of protein phosphatase 2A. Both Akt and protein phosphatase 2A were present in beta(1) integrin-organized cytoplasmic complexes, but the activity of this phosphatase was 2.5 times higher in the complexes organized by the mutant integrin. The mutation of Trp(775) specifically affected Akt signaling, without effects on other integrin-activated pathways including phosphoinositide 3-kinase, MAPK, JNK, and p38 nor did it influence activation of the integrin-responsive kinases focal adhesion kinase and Src. The identification of Trp(775) as a specific site for integrin-mediated Akt signaling supports the concept of specificity of signaling along the integrin cytoplasmic domain. 相似文献

Although integrins are known to mediate connections between extracellular adhesion molecules and the intracellular actin cytoskeleton, the mechanisms that are responsible for coupling ligand binding to intracellular signaling, for generating diversity in signaling, and for determining the efficacy of integrin signaling in response to ligand engagement are largely unknown. By characterizing the class of anti-integrin monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that stimulate integrin activation and ligand binding, we have identified integrin-ligand-mAb complexes that exhibit differential signaling properties. Specifically, addition of 12G10 mAb to cells adhering via integrin alpha4beta1 was found to trigger disruption of the actin cytoskeleton and prevent cell attachment and spreading, whereas mAb addition to cells adhering via alpha5beta1 stimulated all of these processes. In contrast, soluble ligand binding to either alpha4beta1 or alpha5beta1 was augmented or unaffected by 12G10. The regions of the integrin responsible for differential signaling were then mapped using chimeras. Surprisingly, a chimeric alpha5 integrin containing the beta-propeller domain from the ligand binding pocket of alpha4 exhibited the same signaling properties as the full-length alpha4 integrin, whereas exchanging or removing cytoplasmic domains had no effect. Thus the mAb 12G10 demonstrates dual functionality, inhibiting cell adhesion and spreading while augmenting soluble ligand binding, via a mechanism that is determined by the extracellular beta-propeller domain of the associating alpha-subunit. These findings therefore demonstrate a direct and variable agonistic link between the ligand binding pocket of integrins and the cell interior that is independent of the alpha cytoplasmic domains. We propose that either ligand-specific transmembrane conformational changes or ligand-specific differences in the kinetics of transmembrane domain separation underlie integrin agonism. 相似文献

Using truncated or mutated alphaIIb integrin cytoplasmic domains fused to the alphaV extracellular domain and expressed with the beta3 integrin subunit, we demonstrate that the double mutation of proline residues 998 and 999 to alanine (PP998/999AA), previously shown to disturb the C-terminal conformation of the alphaIIb integrin cytoplasmic domain, prevents tyrosine phosphorylation of beta3 integrin induced by Arg-Gly-Asp peptide ligation. This mutation also inhibits integrin mediated actin assembly and cell adhesion to vitronectin. In contrast, progressive truncation of the alphaIIb-subunit cytoplasmic domain did not reproduce these effects. Interestingly, the PP998/999AA mutations of alphaIIb did not affect beta3 tyrosine phosphorylation, cell adhesion, or actin polymerization induced by manganese. Exogenous addition of manganese was sufficient to rescue beta3 phosphorylation, cell adhesion, and actin assembly in cells expressing the PP998/999AA mutation when presented with a vitronectin substrate. Further, induction of the high affinity conformation of this mutant beta3 integrin by incubation with either Arg-Gly-Asp peptide or exogenous manganese was equivalent. These results suggest that the extracellular structure of beta3 integrins in the high affinity conformation is not directly related to the structure of the cytoplasmic face of the integrin. Moreover, the requirement for beta3 phosphorylation is demonstrated without mutation of the beta3 subunit. In support of our previous hypothesis of a role for beta3 phosphorylation in adhesion, these studies demonstrate a strong correlation between beta3 tyrosine phosphorylation and assembly of a cytoskeleton competent to support firm cell adhesion. 相似文献

CT domain of CCN2/CTGF directly interacts with fibronectin and enhances cell adhesion of chondrocytes through integrin alpha5beta1 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Searching for CCN family protein 2/connective tissue growth factor (CCN2/CTGF) interactive proteins by yeast-two-hybrid screening, we identified fibronectin 1 gene product as a major binding partner of CCN2/CTGF in the chondrosarcoma-derived chondrocytic cell line HCS-2/8. Only the CT domain of CCN2/CTGF bound directly to fibronectin (FN). CCN2/CTGF and its CT domain enhanced the adhesion of HCS-2/8 cells to FN in a dose-dependent manner. The CCN2/CTGF-enhancing effect on cell adhesion to FN was abolished by a blocking antibody against alpha5beta1 integrin (alpha5beta1), but not by one against anti-alphavbeta3 integrin. These findings suggest for the first time that CCN2/CTGF enhances chondrocyte adhesion to FN through direct interaction of its C-terminal CT domain with FN, and that alpha5beta1 is involved in this adhesion. 相似文献

Conformation, localization, and integrin binding of talin depend on its interaction with phosphoinositides 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

Talin is a structural component of focal adhesion sites and is thought to be engaged in multiple protein interactions at the cytoplasmic face of cell/matrix contacts. Talin is a major link between integrin and the actin cytoskeleton and was shown to play an important role in focal adhesion assembly. Consistent with the view that talin must be activated at these sites, we found that phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI4,5P(2)) bound to talin in cells in suspension or at early stages of adhesion, respectively. When phosphoinositides were associated with phospholipid bilayer, talin/phosphoinositide association was restricted to PI4,5P(2). This association led to a conformational change of the protein. Moreover, the interaction between integrin and talin was greatly enhanced by PI4,5P(2)-induced talin activation. Finally, sequestration of PI4,5P(2) by a specific pleckstrin homology domain confirms that PI4,5P(2) is necessary for proper membrane localization of talin and that this localization is essential for the maintenance of focal adhesions. Our results support a model in which PI4,5P(2) exposes the integrin-binding site on talin. We propose that PI4,5P(2)-dependent signaling modulates assembly of focal adhesions by regulating integrin-talin complexes. These results demonstrate that activation of the integrin-binding activity of talin requires not only integrin engagement to the extracellular matrix but also the binding of PI4,5P(2) to talin, suggesting a possible role of lipid metabolism in organizing the sequential assembly of focal adhesion components. 相似文献

In injured tissues, the fibrin-fibronectin (FN) provisional matrix provides a framework for cell adhesion, migration, and repair. Effective repair and remodeling require a proper balance between extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, contraction, and turnover. We utilized a three-dimensional (3D) fibrin-FN provisional matrix model to determine the contributions of the FN-binding integrin receptors alpha5beta1 and alpha4beta1 to matrix contraction. CHOalpha5 cells expressing alpha5beta1, a receptor for FN's RGD cell-binding domain, were highly contractile, and cells were well spread on a 3D fibrin-FN matrix. In contrast, CHOalpha4 cells expressing the alpha4beta1 receptor for FN's alternatively spliced V region attached less efficiently to FN and were deficient in fibrin-FN matrix contraction. Surprisingly, cell adhesion and matrix contraction by CHOalpha4 cells were dramatically enhanced, to levels equivalent to CHOalpha5 cells, when proteolyzed FN was used in place of intact FN in the fibrin-FN matrix. Similar enhancement was observed when ligand binding by alpha4beta1 integrins was activated by treatment with Mn(++), but not by stimulation of actin organization with LPA. Therefore, alpha4beta1-dependent cell responses to the provisional matrix are modulated by cleavage of matrix components. 相似文献
