Dynamics of the alpha 6beta 4 Integrin in Keratinocytes

Cecile A. W. Geuijen, and Arnoud Sonnenberg*

Division of Cell Biology, The Netherlands Cancer Institute, 1066 CX Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The integrin alpha 6beta 4 has been implicated in two apparently contrasting processes, i.e., the formation of stable adhesions, and cell migration and invasion. To study the dynamic properties of alpha 6beta 4 in live cells two different beta 4-chimeras were stably expressed in beta 4-deficient PA-JEB keratinocytes. One chimera consisted of full-length beta 4 fused to EGFP at its carboxy terminus (beta 4-EGFP). In a second chimera the extracellular part of beta 4 was replaced by EGFP (EGFP-beta 4), thereby rendering it incapable of associating with alpha 6 and thus of binding to laminin-5. Both chimeras induce the formation of hemidesmosome-like structures, which contain plectin and often also BP180 and BP230. During cell migration and division, the beta 4-EGFP and EGFP-beta 4 hemidesmosomes disappear, and a proportion of the beta 4-EGFP, but not of the EGFP-beta 4 molecules, become part of retraction fibers, which are occasionally ripped from the cell membrane, thereby leaving "footprints" of the migrating cell. PA-JEB cells expressing beta 4-EGFP migrate considerably more slowly than those that express EGFP-beta 4. Studies with a beta 4-EGFP mutant that is unable to interact with plectin and thus with the cytoskeleton (beta 4R1281W-EGFP) suggest that the stabilization of the interaction between alpha 6beta 4 and LN-5, rather than the increased adhesion to LN-5, is responsible for the inhibition of migration. Consistent with this, photobleaching and recovery experiments revealed that the interaction of beta 4 with plectin renders the bond between alpha 6beta 4 and laminin-5 more stable, i.e., beta 4-EGFP is less dynamic than beta 4R1281W-EGFP. On the other hand, when alpha 6beta 4 is bound to laminin-5, the binding dynamics of beta 4 to plectin are increased, i.e., beta 4-EGFP is more dynamic than EGFP-beta 4. We suggest that the stability of the interaction between alpha 6beta 4 and laminin-5 is influenced by the clustering of alpha 6beta 4 through the deposition of laminin-5 underneath the cells. This clustering ultimately determines whether alpha 6beta 4 will inhibit cell migration or not.
