Although the regulation of hemidesmosome dynamics during processes such as epithelial migration, wound healing, and carcinoma invasion is important, the mechanisms involved are poorly understood. The integrin alpha 6 beta 4 is an essential component of the hemidesmosome and a target of such regulation. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) can induce hemidesmosome disassembly by a mechanism that involves serine phosphorylation of the beta 4 integrin subunit. Using a combination of biochemical and mutational analyses, we demonstrate that EGF induces the phosphorylation of three specific serine residues (S(1356), S(1360), and S(1364)) located within the connecting segment of the beta 4 subunit and that phosphorylation on these residues accounts for the bulk of beta 4 phosphorylation stimulated by EGF. Importantly, phosphorylation of these serines is critical for the ability of EGF to disrupt hemidesmosomes. Using COS-7 cells, which assemble hemidesmosomes type II upon exogenous expression of the alpha 6 beta 4 integrin, we observed that expression of a beta 4 construct containing Ser-->Ala mutations of S(1356), S(1360), and S(1364) reduced the ability of EGF to disrupt hemidesmosomes and that this effect appears to involve cooperation among these phosphorylation sites. Moreover, expression of Ser-->Asp mutants that mimic constitutive phosphorylation reduced hemidesmosome formation. Protein kinase C-alpha (PKC-alpha) is the kinase responsible for phosphorylating at least two of these serines, based on in vitro kinase assays, peptide mapping, and mutational analysis. Together, these results highlight the importance of serine phosphorylation in regulating type II hemidesmosome disassembly, implicate a cluster of serine residues within the connecting segment of beta 4, and argue for a key role for PKC-alpha in regulating these structures. 相似文献

Laminins, as basal membrane glycoproteins, are able to stimulate cell adhesion and migration, and to influence gene expression. The laminin molecule has a set of bioactive sites that interact with different integrin and nonintegrin receptors, and, as a result, the reaction of the same cell type to different laminin isoforms may be different. The aim of this study was to determine the contributions of both integrins with beta 1 and beta 4 chains and 67 kDa laminin receptor in the interaction of A431 cells with two laminin isoforms: laminin-1 and laminin-2/4. The obtained data show that integrin alpha 6 beta 4 is more specific for interaction with laminin-2/4 than with laminin-1 and takes part in the stage of attachment of A431 cells to laminin. 67 kDa receptor promotes cell spreading on laminin-2/4 and inhibits cell spreading on laminin-1. An assumption was made about the complex action of receptors for interaction of A431 cells with laminins ("integrin alpha 6 beta 4--67 kDa receptors" complex). 相似文献

The alpha6beta4 integrin-a laminin-5 receptor-mediates assembly of hemidesmosomes and recruitment of Shc and phosphoinositide 3-kinase through the unique cytoplasmic extension of beta4. Mice carrying a targeted deletion of the signaling domain of beta4 develop normally and do not display signs of skin fragility. The epidermis of these mice contains well-structured hemidesmosomes and adheres stably to the basement membrane. However, it is hypoplastic due to reduced proliferation of basal keratinocytes and undergoes wound repair at a reduced rate. Keratinocytes from beta4 mutant mice undergo extensive spreading but fail to proliferate and migrate in response to epidermal growth factor (EGF) on laminin-5. EGF causes significant phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) and phosphorylation and degradation of IkappaB in beta4 mutant cells adhering to laminin-5. Unexpectedly, however, ERK, JNK, and NF-kappaB remain in the cytoplasm in beta4 mutant cells on laminin-5, whereas they enter effectively into the nucleus in the same cells on fibronectin or in wild-type cells on both matrix proteins. Inhibitor studies indicate that alpha6beta4 promotes keratinocyte proliferation and migration through its effect on NF-kappaB and P-JNK. These findings provide evidence that beta4 signaling promotes epidermal growth and wound healing through a previously unrecognized effect on nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. 相似文献

Upon ligand binding, the alpha6beta4 integrin becomes phosphorylated on tyrosine residues and combines sequentially with the adaptor molecules Shc and Grb2, linking to the ras pathway, and with cytoskeletal elements of hemidesmosomes. Since alpha6beta4 is expressed in a variety of tissues regulated by the EGF receptor (EGFR), we have examined the effect of EGF on the cytoskeletal and signaling functions of alpha6beta4. Experiments of immunoblotting with anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies and immunoprecipitation followed by phosphoamino acid analysis and phosphopeptide mapping showed that activation of the EGFR causes phosphorylation of the beta4 subunit at multiple tyrosine residues, and this event requires ligation of the integrin by laminins or specific antibodies. Immunoprecipitation experiments indicated that stimulation with EGF does not result in association of alpha6beta4 with Shc. In contrast, EGF can partially suppress the recruitment of Shc to ligated alpha6beta4. Immunofluorescent analysis revealed that EGF treatment does not induce increased assembly of hemidesmosomes, but instead causes a deterioration of these adhesive structures. Finally, Boyden chamber assays indicated that exposure to EGF results in upregulation of alpha6beta4-mediated cell migration toward laminins. We conclude that EGF-dependent signals suppress the association of activated alpha6beta4 with both signaling and cytoskeletal molecules, but upregulate alpha6beta4-dependent cell migration. The changes in alpha6beta4 function induced by EGF may play a role during wound healing and tumorigenesis. 相似文献

The tetraspanin CD151 forms a stable complex with integrin alpha3beta1, a widely expressed laminin receptor, and is implicated in the regulation of integrin alpha3beta1-mediated cellular responses, including cell attachment, spreading and migration. However, the molecular mechanism by which CD151 regulates integrin alpha3beta1 functions remains unclear. To address this issue, we knocked down CD151 expression in A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells by RNA interference. When plated on laminin-511 (laminin-10), the CD151-knocked-down cells showed aberrant membrane protrusions and exhibited reductions in the tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase, Src, p130Cas and paxillin. The formation of membrane protrusions was attenuated when the cells were either plated on surfaces coated with higher concentrations of laminin-511 or treated with the integrin beta1-activating mAb TS2/16; however, neither treatment could rescue the reduced tyrosine phosphorylation. These results indicate that CD151 knockdown weakens the integrin alpha3beta1-mediated adhesion to laminin-511 and thereby provokes an aberrant morphology, but this reduced adhesive activity is not involved in the decline of signaling events in CD151-knocked-down cells. Thus, our results suggest that CD151 regulates integrin alpha3beta1 functions in two independent aspects: potentiation of integrin alpha3beta1-mediated cell adhesion and promotion of integrin alpha3beta1-stimulated signaling events involving tyrosine phosphorylation. 相似文献

We have examined the mechanism and functional significance of hemidesmosome disassembly during normal epithelial cell migration and squamous carcinoma invasion. Our findings indicate that a fraction of EGF receptor (EGF-R) combines with the hemidesmosomal integrin alpha6beta4 in both normal and neoplastic keratinocytes. Activation of the EGF-R causes tyrosine phosphorylation of the beta4 cytoplasmic domain and disruption of hemidesmosomes. The Src family kinase inhibitors PP1 and PP2 prevent tyrosine phosphorylation of beta4 and disassembly of hemidesmosomes without interfering with the activation of EGF-R. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments indicate that Fyn and, to a lesser extent, Yes combine with alpha6beta4. By contrast, Src and Lck do not associate with alpha6beta4 to a significant extent. A dominant negative form of Fyn, but not Src, prevents tyrosine phosphorylation of beta4 and disassembly of hemidesmosomes. These observations suggest that the EGF-R causes disassembly of hemidesmosomes by activating Fyn, which in turn phosphorylates the beta4 cytoplasmic domain. Neoplastic cells expressing dominant negative Fyn display increased hemidesmosomes and migrate poorly in vitro in response to EGF. Furthermore, dominant negative Fyn decreases the ability of squamous carcinoma cells to invade through Matrigel in vitro and to form lung metastases following intravenous injection in nude mice. These results suggest that disruption of hemidesmosomes mediated by Fyn is a prerequisite for normal keratinocyte migration and squamous carcinoma invasion. 相似文献

The integrin alpha6beta4 has been implicated in two apparently contrasting processes, i.e., the formation of stable adhesions, and cell migration and invasion. To study the dynamic properties of alpha6beta4 in live cells two different beta4-chimeras were stably expressed in beta4-deficient PA-JEB keratinocytes. One chimera consisted of full-length beta4 fused to EGFP at its carboxy terminus (beta4-EGFP). In a second chimera the extracellular part of beta4 was replaced by EGFP (EGFP-beta4), thereby rendering it incapable of associating with alpha6 and thus of binding to laminin-5. Both chimeras induce the formation of hemidesmosome-like structures, which contain plectin and often also BP180 and BP230. During cell migration and division, the beta4-EGFP and EGFP-beta4 hemidesmosomes disappear, and a proportion of the beta4-EGFP, but not of the EGFP-beta4 molecules, become part of retraction fibers, which are occasionally ripped from the cell membrane, thereby leaving "footprints" of the migrating cell. PA-JEB cells expressing beta4-EGFP migrate considerably more slowly than those that express EGFP-beta4. Studies with a beta4-EGFP mutant that is unable to interact with plectin and thus with the cytoskeleton (beta4(R1281W)-EGFP) suggest that the stabilization of the interaction between alpha6beta4 and LN-5, rather than the increased adhesion to LN-5, is responsible for the inhibition of migration. Consistent with this, photobleaching and recovery experiments revealed that the interaction of beta4 with plectin renders the bond between alpha6beta4 and laminin-5 more stable, i.e., beta4-EGFP is less dynamic than beta4(R1281W)-EGFP. On the other hand, when alpha6beta4 is bound to laminin-5, the binding dynamics of beta4 to plectin are increased, i.e., beta4-EGFP is more dynamic than EGFP-beta4. We suggest that the stability of the interaction between alpha6beta4 and laminin-5 is influenced by the clustering of alpha6beta4 through the deposition of laminin-5 underneath the cells. This clustering ultimately determines whether alpha6beta4 will inhibit cell migration or not. 相似文献

In mammalian epidermis, alpha6beta4 integrin is expressed exclusively on the basal layer localized to the hemidesmosomes, where it interacts extracellularly with the laminin-5 ligand. During differentiation, loss of alpha6beta4 is associated with keratinocyte detachment from the basement membrane and upward migration. The protein kinase C (PKC) family of isoforms participates in regulation of integrin function and is linked to skin differentiation. Exposure of primary murine keratinocytes to PKC activators specifically downregulates alpha6beta4 expression. Utilizing recombinant adenoviruses, we selectively overexpressed skin PKC isoforms in primary keratinocytes. PKCdelta and PKCzeta induced downregulation of alpha6beta4 protein expression, leading to reduced keratinocyte attachment to laminin-5 and enhanced gradual detachment from the underlying matrix. In contrast, PKCalpha upregulated alpha6beta4 protein expression, leading to increased keratinocyte attachment to laminin-5 and to the underlying matrix. Altogether, these results suggest distinct roles for specific PKC isoforms in alpha6beta4 functional regulation during the early stages of skin differentiation. 相似文献

The integrin alpha6beta4, a laminin receptor that stabilizes epithelial cell adhesion to the basement membrane (BM) through its association with cytokeratins, can stimulate the formation and stabilization of actin-rich protrusions in carcinoma cells. An important, unresolved issue, however, is whether this integrin can transmit forces to the substrate generated by the acto-myosin system. Using a traction-force detection assay, we detected forces exerted through alpha6beta4 on either laminin-1 or on an anti-alpha6 antibody, demonstrating that this integrin can transmit forces without the need to engage other integrins. These alpha6beta4-dependent traction forces were organized into a compression machine localized to the base of lamellae. We hypothesized that the compression forces generated by alpha6beta4 result in the remodeling of BMs because this integrin plays a major role in the interaction of epithelial and carcinoma cells with such structures. Indeed, we observed that carcinoma cells are able to remodel a reconstituted BM through alpha6beta4-mediated compression forces by a process that involves the packing of BM material under the cells and the mechanical removal of BM from adjacent areas. The distinct signaling functions of alpha6beta4, which activate phosphoinositide 3-OH kinase and RhoA, also contribute to remodeling. Importantly, we demonstrate remodeling of a native BM by epithelial cells and the involvement of alpha6beta4 in this remodeling. Our findings have important implications for the mechanism of both BM organization and tumor invasion. 相似文献

EWI-2, a cell surface immunoglobulin SF protein of unknown function, associates with tetraspanins CD9 and CD81 with high stoichiometry. Overexpression of EWI-2 in A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells did not alter cell adhesion or spreading on laminin-5, and had no effect on reaggregation of cells plated on collagen I (alpha2beta1 integrin ligand). However, on laminin-5 (alpha3beta1 integrin ligand), A431 cell reaggregation and motility functions were markedly impaired. Immunodepletion and reexpression experiments revealed that tetraspanins CD9 and CD81 physically link EWI-2 to alpha3beta1 integrin, but not to other integrins. CD81 also controlled EWI-2 maturation and cell surface localization. EWI-2 overexpression not only suppressed cell migration, but also redirected CD81 to cell filopodia and enhanced alpha3beta1-CD81 complex formation. In contrast, an EWI-2 chimeric mutant failed to suppress cell migration, redirect CD81 to filopodia, or enhance alpha3beta1-CD81 complex formation. These results show how laterally associated EWI-2 might regulate alpha3beta1 function in disease and development, and demonstrate how tetraspanin proteins can assemble multiple nontetraspanin proteins into functional complexes. 相似文献

Regulation of laminin 1-induced pancreatic beta-cell differentiation by alpha6 integrin and alpha-dystroglycan 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
BACKGROUND: The ability to manipulate the development of pancreatic insulin-producing beta cells has implications for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Previously, we found that laminin-1, a basement membrane trimeric glycoprotein, promotes beta-cell differentiation. We have investigated the mechanism of this effect, using agents that block the receptors for laminin-1, alpha6 integrin, and alpha-dystroglycan (alpha-DG). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Dissociated cells from 13.5-day postcoitum (dpc) fetal mouse pancreas were cultured for 4 days with laminin-1, with and without monoclonal antibodies and other agents known to block integrins or alpha-DG. Fetuses fixed in Bouin's solution or fetal pancreas cells fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde were processed for routine histology and for immunohistology to detect hormone expression and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) uptake. RESULTS: Blocking the binding of laminin-1 to alpha6 integrin with a monoclonal antibody, GoH3, abolished cell proliferation (BrdU uptake) and doubled the number of beta cells. Inhibition of molecules involved in alpha6 integrin signaling (phosphotidylinositol 3-kinase, F-actin, or mitogen-activated protein kinase) had a similar effect. Nevertheless, beta cells appeared to develop normally in alpha6 integrin-deficient fetuses. Blocking the binding of laminin-1 to alpha-DG with a monoclonal antibody, IIH6, dramatically decreased the number of beta cells. Heparin, also known to inhibit laminin-1 binding to alpha-DG, had a similar effect. In the presence of heparin, the increase in beta cells in response to blocking alpha integrin with GoH3 was abolished. CONCLUSIONS: These findings reveal an interplay between alpha6 integrin and alpha-DG to regulate laminin-1-induced beta-cell development. Laminin-I had a dominant effect via alpha-DG to promote cell survival and beta-cell differentiation, which was modestly inhibited by alpha6 signaling. 相似文献

CD151 is a cell surface protein that belongs to the tetraspan superfamily. It associates with other tetraspan molecules and certain integrins to form large complexes at the cell surface. CD151 is expressed by a variety of epithelia and mesenchymal cells. We demonstrate here that in human skin CD151 is codistributed with alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta4 at the basolateral surface of basal keratinocytes. Immunoelectron microscopy showed that CD151 is concentrated in hemidesmosomes. By immunoprecipitation from transfected K562 cells, we established that CD151 associates with alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta4. In beta4-deficient pyloric atresia associated with junctional epidermolysis bullosa (PA-JEB) keratinocytes, CD151 and alpha3beta1 are clustered together at the basal cell surface in association with patches of laminin-5. Focal adhesions are present at the periphery of these clusters, connected with actin filaments, and they contain both CD151 and alpha3beta1. Transient transfection studies of PA-JEB cells with beta4 revealed that the integrin alpha6beta4 becomes incorporated into the alpha3beta1-CD151 clusters where it induces the formation of hemidesmosomes. As a result, the amount of alpha3beta1 in the clusters diminishes and the protein becomes restricted to the peripheral focal adhesions. Furthermore, CD151 becomes predominantly associated with alpha6beta4 in hemidesmosomes, whereas its codistribution with alpha3beta1 in focal adhesions becomes partial. The localization of alpha6beta4 in the pre-hemidesmosomal clusters is accompanied by a strong upregulation of CD151, which is at least partly due to increased cell surface expression. Using beta4 chimeras containing the extracellular and transmembrane domain of the IL-2 receptor and the cytoplasmic domain of beta4, we found that for recruitment of CD151 into hemidesmosomes, the beta4 subunit must be associated with alpha6, confirming that integrins associate with tetraspans via their alpha subunits. CD151 is the only tetraspan identified in hemidesmosomal structures. Others, such as CD9 and CD81, remain diffusely distributed at the cell surface.In conclusion, we show that CD151 is a major component of (pre)-hemidesmosomal structures and that its recruitment into hemidesmosomes is regulated by the integrin alpha6beta4. We suggest that CD151 plays a role in the formation and stability of hemidesmosomes by providing a framework for the spatial organization of the different hemidesmosomal components. 相似文献

Laminin-2/4 is the major laminin isoform of normal muscle and nerve tissues and plays an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Despite the fact that laminin-2/4 has been found in the skin basement membrane, insufficient evidence is available on the effect of laminin-2/4 on the behavior of both normal and transformed skin cells. A comparison of the contribution of alpha2beta1, alpha3beta1, alpha6beta4 integrins and 67 kDa laminin receptor on the surface of the human epidermoid carcinoma cell, A-431, to interaction with laminin-2/4 was carried out. The cell interaction with extracellular matrix component is a multistage process. We employed new methods for studying different stages of the interaction of A-431 cells with laminin-2/4. We demonstrated that integrins alpha2beta1, alpha3beta1, alpha6beta4 and 67 kDa laminin receptor are involved in the interaction of A-431 cells with laminin-2/4. We found that contribution of the same receptors to different stages of the interaction with laminin can be different. alpha2beta1 integrins are involved in EGF-induced A-431 cells' migration on laminin-2/4. We demonstrated the cooperation between alpha2beta1 and alpha3beta1 integrins during adhesion and spreading of A-431 cells on laminin-2/4-coated substrate. These results provide information about laminin-2/4 receptors and their contribution to different stages of the interaction with cells. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor ligands such as EGF and transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) play an important role in controlling the proliferation, survival, morphology, and motility of colonic epithelial cells. There is also increasing evidence that growth factors and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins cooperate to regulate these cellular processes. We have reported previously that autocrine TGF-alpha and an unidentified ECM protein in the serum-free conditioned medium of the human colon carcinoma cell line LIM1215 synergize to induce spreading of these cells in low-density cultures. We have now purified the ECM protein secreted by LIM1215 cells and show that it synergizes with EGF to induce spreading of LIM1215 cells and other human cell lines from the colon and other tissues. The purified ECM migrated as a single protein band with an apparent molecular mass of approximately 800 kDa on SDS-PAGE under nonreducing conditions and, under reducing conditions, as three protein bands of approximately 360, 210, and 200 kDa. Immunoblotting experiments and mass spectrometry analysis of tryptic digests on the purified protein identified the 360-, 210-, and 200-kDa protein bands as laminin alpha5, beta1, and gamma1 chains, respectively, indicating that LIM1215 cells secrete laminin-10 (alpha5 beta1 gamma1). In serum-free medium, LIM1215 cells adhere to laminin-10 primarily via alpha2 beta1 and alpha3 beta1 integrin receptors. EGF-induced spreading of LIM1215 cells on laminin-10 is partially inhibited by pretreatment of the cells with blocking antibodies directed against integrin alpha3 or beta1 but not alpha2, alpha6, or beta4 subunits. Spreading is almost completely inhibited by blocking alpha3 + alpha2, alpha3 + alpha6, or beta1 + beta4 integrin chains and results in cell death. Increased spreading in the presence of EGF correlates with up-regulation of alpha6 beta4 integrins in these cells after exposure to EGF. These results indicate that colon cancer cells attach and spread on laminin-10 via multiple integrin receptors and suggest a critical role for alpha3 beta1 integrins in the spreading response. Together, our results support the concept that the adhesive properties of colon cancer cells are modulated by autocrine production of TGF-alpha and laminin-10 and autocrine induction of appropriate integrins. 相似文献

Injury and EGF mediate the expression of alpha6beta4 integrin subunits in corneal epithelium 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Our goal was to evaluate the role of epidermal growth factor and injury on the expression of integrin subunits alpha6(alpha6) and beta4(beta4). An in vitro wound model was used to evaluate corneal wound repair and cellular migration. Primary rabbit corneal epithelial cell cultures were serum-starved and injured in the presence or absence of EGF or tyrphostin AG1478, an inhibitor of EGF receptor kinase activity. Repair was monitored morphologically and expression was analyzed using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry accompanied by confocal microscopy. The addition of EGF to cell cultures induced a dose-dependent increase in beta4 mRNA expression but the constitutive expression of alpha6 was several fold greater. In the wounded cultures there was a rapid change in expression at the edge of the wound that was enhanced with EGF. In our model there was an increase in beta4 and alpha6 protein in migrating cells. Changes in integrin expression were accompanied by a transient increase in activation of the EGF receptor. The addition of tyrphostin inhibited migration of cells and wound repair, the activation of the EGF receptor and phosphorylation of beta4 in the cytoplasm. These data indicate that the activation of the EGF receptor plays a critical role in the regulation of integrin receptors and the mediation of cellular migration. 相似文献

The alpha 6 beta 4 integrin and epithelial cell migration. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Although the involvement of alpha 6 beta 4, an integrin laminin receptor, in hemidesmosome organization has dominated the study of this integrin, recent studies are revealing novel functions for alpha 6 beta 4 in the migration of epithelial and carcinoma cells. The engagement of laminin by alpha 6 beta 4 can stabilize actin-rich protrusions and mediate traction forces necessary for cell movement. This integrin also has a significant impact on signaling molecules that stimulate migration and invasion, especially PI3-K and Rho GTPases. Activation of PI3-K by alpha 6 beta 4 enhances the formation of actin protrusions, and it may stimulate the function of other integrins, such as alpha 3 beta 1, that are also important for epithelial migration. Signaling through alpha 6 beta 4 may not always depend on the adhesive functions of this integrin, a possibility that has profound implications for migration and invasion because it implies that the ability of alpha 6 beta 4 to stimulate these processes is not limited to specific matrix environments. 相似文献

The presence of many laminin receptors of the beta1 integrin family on most cells makes it difficult to define the biological functions of other major laminin receptors such as integrin alpha6beta4 and dystroglycan. We therefore tested the binding of a beta1 integrin-null cell line GD25 to four different laminin variants. The cells were shown to produce dystroglycan, which based on affinity chromatography bound to laminin-1, -2/4, and -10/11, but not to laminin-5. The cells also expressed the integrin alpha6Abeta4A variant. GD25 beta1 integrin-null cells are known to bind poorly to laminin-1, but we demonstrate here that these cells bind avidly to laminin-2/4, -5, and -10/11. The initial binding at 20 min to each of these laminins could be inhibited by an integrin alpha6 antibody, but not by a dystroglycan antibody. Hence, integrin alpha6Abeta4A of GD25 cells was identified as a major receptor for initial GD25 cell adhesion to three out of four tested laminin isoforms. Remarkably, cell adhesion to laminin-5 failed to promote cell spreading, proliferation, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation, whereas all these responses occurred in response to adhesion to laminin-2/4 or -10/11. The data establish GD25 cells as useful tools to define the role integrin alpha6Abeta4A and suggest that laminin isoforms have distinctly different capacities to promote cell adhesion and signaling via integrin alpha6Abeta4A. 相似文献

Integrin alpha 3A cytoplasmic tail phosphorylation was mapped to amino acid S1042, as determined by mass spectrometry, and confirmed by mutagenesis. This residue occurs within a "QPSXXE" motif conserved in multiple alpha chains (alpha 3A, alpha 6A, alpha 7A), from multiple species. Phosphorylation of alpha 3A and alpha 6A did not appear to be directly mediated by protein kinase C (PKC) alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, or mu, or by any of several other known serine kinases, although PKC has an indirect role in promoting phosphorylation. A S1042A mutation did not affect alpha 3-Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell adhesion to laminin-5, but did alter 1) alpha 3-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase and paxillin (in the presence or absence of phorbol 12-myristate 13 acetate stimulation), and p130(CAS) (in the absence of phorbol 12-myristate 13 acetate stimulation), 2) the shape of cells spread on laminin-5, and 3) alpha 3-dependent random CHO cell migration on laminin-5. In addition, S1042A mutation altered the PKC-dependent, ligand-dependent subcellular distribution of alpha 3 and F-actin in CHO cells. Together, the results demonstrate clearly that alpha 3A phosphorylation is functionally relevant. In addition, the results strongly suggest that alpha 3 phosphorylation may regulate alpha 3 integrin interaction with the cytoskeleton. 相似文献

Keratinocytes and other epithelial cells express two receptors for the basement membrane (BM) extracellular matrix component laminin-5 (Ln-5), integrins alpha 3 beta 1 and alpha 6 beta 4. While alpha 3 beta 1 mediates adhesion, spreading, and migration (Kreidberg, J.A. 2000. Curr. Opin. Cell Biol. 12:548--553), alpha 6 beta 4 is involved in BM anchorage via hemidesmosomes (Borradori, L., and A. Sonnenberg. 1999. J. Invest. Dermatol. 112:411--418). We investigated a possible regulatory interplay between alpha 3 beta 1 and alpha 6 beta 4 in cell motility using HaCaT keratinocytes as a model. We found that alpha 6 beta 4 antibodies inhibit alpha 3 beta 1-mediated migration on Ln-5, but only when migration is haptotactic (i.e., spontaneous or stimulated by alpha 3 beta 1 activation), and not when chemotactic (i.e., triggered by epidermal growth factor receptor). Inhibition of migration by alpha 6 beta 4 depends upon phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K) since it is abolished by PI3-K blockers and by dominant-negative PI3-K, and constitutively active PI3-K prevents haptotaxis. In HaCaT cells incubated with anti-alpha 6 beta 4 antibodies, activation of PI3-K is mediated by alpha 6 beta 4-associated erbB-2, as indicated by erbB-2 autophosphorylation and erbB-2/p85 PI3-K coprecipitation. Furthermore, dominant-negative erbB-2 abolishes inhibition of haptotaxis by anti-alpha 6 beta 4 antibodies. These results support a model whereby (a) haptotactic cell migration on Ln-5 is regulated by concerted action of alpha 3beta 1 and alpha 6 beta 4 integrins, (b) alpha 6 beta 4-associated erbB-2 and PI3-K negatively affect haptotaxis, and (c) chemotaxis on Ln-5 is not affected by alpha 6 beta 4 antibodies and may require PI3-K activity. This model could be of general relevance to motility of epithelial cells in contact with BM. 相似文献
