Beta1 integrin and alpha-dystroglycan binding sites are localized to different laminin-G-domain-like (LG) modules within the laminin alpha5 chain G domain.

ABSTRACT: Laminins are a group of extracellular-matrix proteins important in development and disease. They are heterotrimers, and specific domains in the different chains have specialized functions. The G domain of the alpha5 chain has now been produced in transfected mammalian cells as single modules and two tandem arrays, alpha5LG1-3 and alpha5LG4-5 (LG is laminin G domain-like). Using these fragments we produced specific polyclonal antibodies functional in immunoblotting and immunofluorescence studies and in solid-phase assays. Both alpha5LG tandem arrays had physiologically relevant affinities for sulphated ligands such as heparin and sulphatides. Cells adhered to these fragments and acquired a spread morphology when plated on alpha5LG1-3. Binding of integrins alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta1 was localized to the alpha5LG1-3 modules, and alpha-dystroglycan binding was localized to the alpha5LG4-5 modules, thus locating these activities to different LG modules within the laminin alpha5 G domain. However, both these activities were of relatively low affinity, indicating that integrin-mediated cell adhesion to the laminin 10/11 alpha5G domain depends on contributions from the other chains of the heterotrimer and that high-affinity alpha-dystroglycan binding could be dependent on specific Ca(2+)-ion-co-ordinating amino acids absent from alpha5LG4-5.

Regulation of integrin function: evidence that bivalent-cation-induced conformational changes lead to the unmasking of ligand-binding sites within integrin alpha5 beta1.

Project description:The molecular mechanisms that regulate integrin-ligand binding are unknown; however, bivalent cations are essential for integrin activity. According to recent models of integrin tertiary structure, sites involved in ligand recognition are located on the upper face of the seven-bladed beta-propeller formed by the N-terminal repeats of the alpha subunit and on the von Willebrand factor A-domain-like region of the beta subunit. The epitopes of function-altering monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) cluster in these regions of the alpha and beta subunits; hence these mAbs can be used as probes to detect changes in the exposure or shape of the ligand-binding sites. Bivalent cations were found to alter the apparent affinity of binding of the inhibitory anti-alpha5 mAbs JBS5 and 16, the inhibitory anti-beta1 mAb 13, and the stimulatory anti-beta1 mAb 12G10 to alpha5 beta1. Analysis of the binding of these mAbs to alpha5beta1 over a range of Mn2+, Mg2+ or Ca2+ concentrations demonstrated that there was a concordance between the ability of cations to elicit conformational changes and the ligand-binding potential of alpha5 beta1. Competitive ELISA experiments provided evidence that the domains of the alpha5 and beta1 subunits recognized by mAbs JBS5/16 and 13/12G10 are spatially close, and that the distance between these two domains is increased when alpha5 beta1 is occupied by bivalent cations. Taken together, our findings suggest that bivalent cations induce a conformational relaxation in the integrin that results in exposure of ligand-binding sites, and that these sites lie near an interface between the alpha subunit beta-propeller and the beta subunit putative A-domain.

Laminin-332-beta1 integrin interactions negatively regulate invadopodia.

Project description:Adhesion of epithelial cells to basement membranes (BM) occurs through two major structures: actin-associated focal contacts and keratin-associated hemidesmosomes, both of which form on laminin-332 (Ln-332). In epithelial-derived cancer cells, additional actin-linked structures with putative adhesive properties, invadopodia, are frequently present and mediate BM degradation. A recent study proposed that BM invasion requires a proper combination of focal contacts and invadopodia for invading cells to gain traction through degraded BM, and suggested that these structures may compete for common molecular components such as Src kinase. In this study, we tested the role of the Ln-332 in regulating invadopodia in 804G rat bladder carcinoma cells, a cell line that secretes Ln-332 and forms all three types of adhesions. Expression of shRNA to Ln-332 gamma2 chain (gamma2-kd) led to increased numbers of invadopodia and enhanced extracellular matrix degradation. Replating gamma2-kd cells on Ln-332 or collagen-I fully recovered cell spreading and inhibition of invadopodia. Inhibition of alpha3 or beta1, but not alpha6 or beta4, phenocopied the effect of gamma2-kd, suggesting that alpha3beta1-mediated focal contacts, rather than alpha6beta4-mediated hemidesmosome pathways, intersect with invadopodia regulation. gamma2-kd cells exhibited alterations in focal contact-type structures and in activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and Src kinase. Inhibition of FAK also increased invadopodia number, which was reversible with Src inhibition. These data are consistent with a model whereby actin-based adhesions can limit the availability of active Src that is capable of invadopodia initiation and identifies Ln-332-beta1 interactions as a potent upstream regulator that limits cell invasion.

Structure of the C-terminal laminin G-like domain pair of the laminin alpha2 chain harbouring binding sites for alpha-dystroglycan and heparin.

Project description:The laminins are large heterotrimeric glycoproteins with fundamental roles in basement membrane architecture and function. The C-terminus of the laminin alpha chain contains a tandem of five laminin G-like (LG) domains. We report the 2.0 A crystal structure of the laminin alpha2 LG4-LG5 domain pair, which harbours binding sites for heparin and the cell surface receptor alpha-dystroglycan, and is 41% identical to the laminin alpha1 E3 fragment. LG4 and LG5 are arranged in a V-shaped fashion related by a 110 degrees rotation about an axis passing near the domain termini. An extended N-terminal segment is disulfide bonded to LG5 and stabilizes the domain pair. Two calcium ions, one each in LG4 and LG5, are located 65 A apart at the tips of the domains opposite the polypeptide termini. An extensive basic surface region between the calcium sites is proposed to bind alpha-dystroglycan and heparin. The LG4-LG5 structure was used to construct a model of the laminin LG1-LG5 tandem and interpret missense mutations underlying protein S deficiency.

Beta1-integrin orients epithelial polarity via Rac1 and laminin.

Project description:Epithelial cells polarize and orient polarity in response to cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion. Although there has been much recent progress in understanding the general polarizing machinery of epithelia, it is largely unclear how this machinery is controlled by the extracellular environment. To explore the signals from cell-matrix interactions that control orientation of cell polarity, we have used three-dimensional culture systems in which Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells form polarized, lumen-containing structures. We show that interaction of collagen I with apical beta1-integrins after collagen overlay of a polarized MDCK monolayer induces activation of Rac1, which is required for collagen overlay-induced tubulocyst formation. Cysts, comprised of a monolayer enclosing a central lumen, form after embedding single cells in collagen. In those cultures, addition of a beta1-integrin function-blocking antibody to the collagen matrix gives rise to cysts that have defects in the organization of laminin into the basement membrane and have inverted polarity. Normal polarity is restored by either expression of activated Rac1, or the inclusion of excess laminin-1 (LN-1). Together, our results suggest a signaling pathway in which the activation of beta1-integrins orients the apical pole of polarized cysts via a mechanism that requires Rac1 activation and laminin organization into the basement membrane.

Opposing roles of integrin alpha6Abeta1 and dystroglycan in laminin-mediated extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation.

Project description:Laminin-integrin interactions can in some settings activate the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) but the control mechanisms are poorly understood. Herein, we studied ERK activation in response to two laminins isoforms (-1 and -10/11) in two epithelial cell lines. Both cell lines expressed beta1-containing integrins and dystroglycan but lacked integrin alpha6beta4. Antibody perturbation assays showed that both cell lines bound to laminin-10/11 via the alpha3beta1and alpha6beta1 integrins. Although laminin-10/11 was a stronger adhesion complex than laminin-1 for both cell lines, both laminins activated ERK in only one of the two cell lines. The ERK activation was mediated by integrin alpha6beta1 and not by alpha3beta1 or dystroglycan. Instead, we found that dystroglycan-binding domains of both laminin-1 and -10/11 suppressed integrin alpha6beta1-mediated ERK activation. Moreover, the responding cell line expressed the two integrin alpha6 splice variants, alpha6A and alpha6B, whereas the nonresponding cell line expressed only alpha6B. Furthermore, ERK activation was seen in cells transfected with the integrin alpha6A subunit, but not in alpha6B-transfected cells. We conclude that laminin-1 and -10/11 share the ability to induce ERK activation, that this is regulated by integrin alpha6Abeta1, and suggest a novel role for dystroglycan-binding laminin domains as suppressors of this activation.

Laminin-dystroglycan signaling regulates retinal arteriogenesis.

Project description:Proper arteriovenous morphogenesis is crucial for maintaining normal tissue perfusion. However, our understanding of how arterial morphogenesis is regulated in the CNS is incomplete. In this study, we asked whether vascular basement membrane (BM) laminins, specifically the ?3-containing isoforms, regulate retinal arterial morphogenesis. We provide evidence that Laminin-?3 is deposited at both arterial and venous BMs during arteriogenesis. Vascular BM Laminin-?3 bound dystroglycan (DG), a laminin receptor preferentially expressed by arterial endothelial cells (ECs) during arteriogenesis. Blockade of laminin-DG binding in vitro led to decreased Delta-like ligand (DLL)-4 expression in ECs. Moreover, genetic deletion of the Laminin-?3- and EC-specific deletion of DG led to similar defects in retinal arteriogenesis, including reduced Dll4 expression, hyperbranching and reduced smooth muscle coverage. These results implicate a newly identified Laminin-?3-DG signaling cascade that regulates arterial Dll4/Notch signaling to specify and stabilize retinal arteries.-Biswas, S., Watters, J., Bachay, G., Varshney, S., Hunter, D. D., Hu, H., Brunken, W. J. Laminin-dystroglycan signaling regulates retinal arteriogenesis.

Integrin and dystroglycan compensate each other to mediate laminin-dependent basement membrane assembly and epiblast polarization.

Project description:During early embryogenesis, endodermal ?1-laminin expression is required for basement membrane (BM) assembly, promoting conversion of non-polar pluripotent cells into polarized epiblast. The influence of laminin-111 (Lm111) and its integrin and dystroglycan (DG) receptors on epiblast in embryoid bodies (EBs), a model for differentiation of the embryonic plate, was further investigated. Lm111 added to the medium of EBs initiated conversion of inner nonpolar cell to the polarized epiblast epithelium with an exterior-to-central basal-to-apical orientation. Microinjection of Lm111 into EB interiors resulted in an interior BM with complete inversion of cell polarity. Lm111 assembled a BM on integrin-?1 null EBs with induction of polarization at reduced efficiency. ?-Integrin compensation was not detected in these nulls with integrin adaptor proteins failing to assemble. A dimer of laminin LG domains 4-5 (LZE3) engineered to strongly bind to ?-dystroglycan almost completely inhibited laminin accumulation on integrin ?1-null EBs, reducing BM and ablating cell polarization. When Lm111 was incubated with integrin-?1/dystroglycan double-knockout EBs, laminin failed to accumulate on the EBs, the EBs did not differentiate, and the EBs underwent apoptosis. Collectively the findings support the hypotheses that the locus of laminin cell surface assembly can determine the axis of epithelial polarity. This requires integrin- and/or dystroglycan-dependent binding to laminin LG domains with the highest efficiency achieved when both receptors are present. Finally, EBs that cannot assemble a matrix undergo apoptosis.

Laminin G-like domains: dystroglycan-specific lectins.

Project description:A unique O-mannose-linked glycan on the transmembrane protein dystroglycan binds a number of extracellular matrix proteins containing laminin G-like (LG) domains. The dystroglycan-matrix interaction is essential for muscle function: disrupted biosynthesis of the matrix-binding modification causes several forms of muscular dystrophy. The complete chemical structure of this modification has been deciphered in the past few years. We now know that LG domains bind to a glycosaminoglycan-like polysaccharide of [-3GlcA?1,3Xyl?1-] units, termed matriglycan, that is attached to a highly unusual heptasaccharide linker. X-ray crystallography has revealed the principles of Ca2+-dependent matriglycan binding by LG domains. In this review, the new structural insights are applied to the growing number of LG domain-containing proteins that bind dystroglycan. It is proposed that LG domains be recognised as 'D-type' lectins to indicate their conserved function in dystroglycan binding.

ICAP-1, a novel beta1 integrin cytoplasmic domain-associated protein, binds to a conserved and functionally important NPXY sequence motif of beta1 integrin.

Project description:The cytoplasmic domains of integrins are essential for cell adhesion. We report identification of a novel protein, ICAP-1 (integrin cytoplasmic domain- associated protein-1), which binds to the 1 integrin cytoplasmic domain. The interaction between ICAP-1 and beta1 integrins is highly specific, as demonstrated by the lack of interaction between ICAP-1 and the cytoplasmic domains of other beta integrins, and requires a conserved and functionally important NPXY sequence motif found in the COOH-terminal region of the beta1 integrin cytoplasmic domain. Mutational studies reveal that Asn and Tyr of the NPXY motif and a Val residue located NH2-terminal to this motif are critical for the ICAP-1 binding. Two isoforms of ICAP-1, a 200-amino acid protein (ICAP-1alpha) and a shorter 150-amino acid protein (ICAP-1beta), derived from alternatively spliced mRNA, are expressed in most cells. ICAP-1alpha is a phosphoprotein and the extent of its phosphorylation is regulated by the cell-matrix interaction. First, an enhancement of ICAP-1alpha phosphorylation is observed when cells were plated on fibronectin-coated but not on nonspecific poly-L-lysine-coated surface. Second, the expression of a constitutively activated RhoA protein that disrupts the cell-matrix interaction results in dephosphorylation of ICAP-1alpha. The regulation of ICAP-1alpha phosphorylation by the cell-matrix interaction suggests an important role of ICAP-1 during integrin-dependent cell adhesion.

Basal lamina strengthens cell membrane integrity via the laminin G domain-binding motif of alpha-dystroglycan.

Project description:Skeletal muscle basal lamina is linked to the sarcolemma through transmembrane receptors, including integrins and dystroglycan. The function of dystroglycan relies critically on posttranslational glycosylation, a common target shared by a genetically heterogeneous group of muscular dystrophies characterized by alpha-dystroglycan hypoglycosylation. Here we show that both dystroglycan and integrin alpha7 contribute to force-production of muscles, but that only disruption of dystroglycan causes detachment of the basal lamina from the sarcolemma and renders muscle prone to contraction-induced injury. These phenotypes of dystroglycan-null muscles are recapitulated by Large(myd) muscles, which have an intact dystrophin-glycoprotein complex and lack only the laminin globular domain-binding motif on alpha-dystroglycan. Compromised sarcolemmal integrity is directly shown in Large(myd) muscles and similarly in normal muscles when arenaviruses compete with matrix proteins for binding alpha-dystroglycan. These data provide direct mechanistic insight into how the dystroglycan-linked basal lamina contributes to the maintenance of sarcolemmal integrity and protects muscles from damage.
