The integrin alpha 9 subunit forms a single heterodimer, alpha 9beta 1. The alpha 9 subunit is most closely related to the alpha 4 subunit, and like alpha 4 integrins, alpha 9beta 1 plays an important role in leukocyte migration. The alpha 4 cytoplasmic domain preferentially enhances cell migration and inhibits cell spreading, effects that depend on interaction with the adaptor protein, paxillin. To determine whether the alpha 9 cytoplasmic domain has similar effects, a series of chimeric and deleted alpha 9 constructs were expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells and tested for their effects on migration and spreading on an alpha 9beta 1-specific ligand. Like alpha 4, the alpha 9 cytoplasmic domain enhanced cell migration and inhibited cell spreading. Paxillin also specifically bound the alpha 9 cytoplasmic domain and to a similar level as alpha 4. In paxillin-/- cells, alpha 9 failed to inhibit cell spreading as expected but surprisingly still enhanced cell migration. Further, mutations that abolished the alpha 9-paxillin interaction prevented alpha 9 from inhibiting cell spreading but had no effect on alpha 9-dependent cell migration. These findings suggest that the mechanisms by which the cytoplasmic domains of integrin alpha  subunits enhance migration and inhibit cell spreading are distinct and that the alpha 9 and alpha 4 cytoplasmic domains, despite sequence and functional similarities, enhance cell migration by different intracellular signaling pathways.
