Abstract

Intercellular adhesion mediated by integrin alpha4beta1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) plays a crucial role in both the rolling and firm attachment of leukocytes onto the vascular endothelium. Essential to the alpha4beta1/VCAM-1 interaction is its mechanical strength that allows the complex to resist the large shear forces imposed by the bloodstream. Herein we employed single-molecule dynamic force spectroscopy to investigate the dynamic strength of the alpha4beta1/VCAM-1 complex. Our force measurements revealed that the dissociation of the alpha4beta1/VCAM-1 complex involves overcoming at least two activation potential barriers: a steep inner barrier and a more elevated outer barrier. The inner barrier grants the complex the tensile strength to withstand large pulling forces (>50 pN) and was attributed to the ionic interaction between the chelated Mg2+ ion at the N-terminal A-domain of the beta1 subunit of alpha4beta1 and the carboxyl group of Asp-40 of VCAM-1 through the use of site-directed mutations. In general, additional mutations within the C-D loop of domain 1 of VCAM-1 suppressed both inner and outer barriers of the alpha4beta1/VCAM-1 complex, while a mutation at Asp-143 of domain 2 of VCAM-1 resulted i...Continue Reading
