CD9, a member of the tetraspanin family of
proteins, is characterized by four transmembrane domains and two
extracellular loops. Surface expression of CD9 on Chinese hamster
ovary (CHO) cells dramatically enhances spreading and motility on
fibronectin. To elucidate the mechanistic basis of CD9-fibronectin
interaction, binding to fibronectin was investigated using purified and
recombinant forms of CD9. The affinity of fibronectin for CD9 in
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was 81 ± 25 nM. The binding of fibronectin to immobilized CD9 was
enhanced by Ca2+ ions. Protein binding and peptide
competition studies demonstrated that peptide 6 derived from CD9
extracellular loop 2 (amino acids 168-192) contained part of the
fibronectin-binding domain. Additionally, enhanced adhesion of
CD9-CHO-B2 cells to fibronectin was significantly reduced by peptide 6. CD9-CHO cells had a 5-fold increase in motility to fibronectin as
compared with mock-transfected controls, an effect that correlated with
CD9 cell surface density. Truncation of CD9 extracellular loop 2 and
peptide 6 caused inhibition of CD9-CHO cell motility to fibronectin.
Deletion of CD9 extracellular loop 1 had no significant effect on CHO
cell motility. These findings demonstrate a critical role for CD9
extracellular loop 2 in cell motility to fibronectin and clarify the
mechanism by which CD9-fibronectin interaction modulates cell adhesion
and motility.
