摘要

Single molecule atomic force microscopy was used to characterize structure, binding strength (unbinding force). and binding kinetics of a classical cadherin, vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin, secreted by transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells as cis-dimerized full- length external domain fused to Fc-portion of human IgG. In physiological buffer, the external domain of VE-cadherin dimers is a ≈20-nm-long rod-shaped molecule that collapses and dissociates into monomers (V-shaped structures) in the absence of Ca~2+. Trans-interaction of dimers is a low-affinity reaction (KD = 10~-3- 10~-5 M, k_off = 1.8 s~-1,. k_on = 10~3-10~5 M-~1.s~-1) with relatively low unbinding force (35-55 pN at retrace velocities of 200-4,000 nm.s~-1). Higher order unbinding forces, that increase with inter- attion time, indicate association of cadherins into complexes with cumulative binding strength. These observations favor a model by which the inherently weak unit binding strength and affinity of cadherin trans-interaction requires clustering and cytoskeletal im- mobilization for amplification. Binding is regulated by low-affinity Ca~2+ binding sites (KD = 1.15 mM) with high cooperativity (Hill coefficient of 5.04). Local changes of free extracellular Ca2+ in the narrow intercellular space may be of physiological importance to facilitate rapid remodeling of intercellular adhesion and commu- nication.
