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