-Catenin-independent Recruitment of ZO-1 to Nectin-based
Cell-Cell Adhesion Sites through Afadin

*Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry and ZO-1 is an actin filament (F-actin)-binding protein that localizes
to tight junctions and connects claudin to the actin cytoskeleton in
epithelial cells. In nonepithelial cells that have no tight junctions,
ZO-1 localizes to adherens junctions (AJs) and may connect cadherin to
the actin cytoskeleton indirectly through

- and
-catenins as one
of many F-actin-binding proteins. Nectin is an immunoglobulin-like
adhesion molecule that localizes to AJs and is associated with the
actin cytoskeleton through afadin, an F-actin-binding protein. Ponsin
is an afadin- and vinculin-binding protein that also localizes to AJs.
The nectin-afadin complex has a potency to recruit the
E-cadherin-
-catenin complex through
-catenin in a manner
independent of ponsin. By the use of cadherin-deficient L cell lines
stably expressing various components of the cadherin-catenin and
nectin-afadin systems, and
-catenin-deficient F9 cell lines, we
examined here whether nectin recruits ZO-1 to nectin-based cell-cell
adhesion sites. Nectin showed a potency to recruit not only
-catenin
but also ZO-1 to nectin-based cell-cell adhesion sites. This
recruitment of ZO-1 was dependent on afadin but independent of
-catenin and ponsin. These results indicate that ZO-1 localizes to
cadherin-based AJs through interactions not only with
-catenin but
also with the nectin-afadin system.
