摘要


Within each hemidesmosome, alpha6beta4 integrin plays a crucial role in hemidesmosome assembly by binding to laminin-5 in the basement membrane zone of epithelial tissue. Recent analyses have implicated "specificity-determining loops" (SDLs) in the I-like domain of beta integrin in regulating ligand binding. Here, we investigated the function of an SDL-like motif within the extracellular I-like domain of beta4 integrin. We generated point mutations within the SDL of beta4 integrin tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP-beta4K150A and GFP-beta4Q155L). We also generated a mutation within the I-like domain of the beta4 integrin, lying outside the SDL region (GFP-beta4V284E). We transfected constructs encoding the mutated beta4 integrins and a GFP-conjugated wild type beta4 integrin (GFP-beta4WT) into 804G cells, which assemble hemidesmosomes, and human endothelial cells, which express little endogenous beta4 integrin. In transfected 804G cells, GFP-beta4WT and GFP-beta4V284E colocalize with hemidesmosome proteins, whereas hemidesmosomal components in cells expressing GFP-beta4K150A and GFP-beta4Q155L are aberrantly localized. In endothelial cells, GFP-beta4WT and mutant proteins are co-expressed at the cell surface with alpha6 integrin. When transfected endothelial cells are plated onto laminin-5 matrix, GFP-beta4WT and GFP-beta4V284E localize with laminin-5, whereas GFP-beta4K150A and GFP-beta4Q155L do not. GFP-beta4WT and GFP-beta4V284E expressed in endothelial cells associate with the adaptor protein Shc when the cells are stimulated with laminin-5. However, GFP-beta4K150A and GFP-beta4Q155L fail to associate with Shc even when laminin-5 is present, thus impacting downstream signaling. These results provide evidence that the SDL segment of the beta4 integrin subunit is required for ligand binding and is involved in outside-in signaling.
