Analysis of the CD23-αv integrin interaction: a study with model peptides

Abstract

The human CD23 protein binds to αvβ3 and αvβ5 integrins. The integrins recognize a short tripeptide motif of arg-lys-cys (RKC) in CD23, and peptides containing this motif inhibit the binding of CD23 to B cells and monocytes; neither fibronectin, nor vitronectin, which contain arg-gly-asp motifs, inhibit binding of RKC-containing peptides to cells. RKC-containing peptides derived from CD23 show dose-dependent, biphasic binding profiles to both αvβ3 and αvβ5 that are cation-independent but sensitive to high chloride ion concentrations. Substitution of one basic residue in the RKC motif with alanine reduces but does not abolish integrin binding or the ability of peptides to stimulate pre-B cell growth or cytokine release by monocytes. Substitution of both basic residues abolishes both integrin binding and biological activity of CD23-derived peptides. These features indicate that binding of RKC-containing peptides to αv integrins has clearly distinct characteristics to those for binding of RGD-containing ligands.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
