Abstract

The L1 adhesion molecule is an approx. 200–220 kDa type I membrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. L1 can bind in a homotypic fashion and was shown to support integrin-mediated binding via RGDs in the 6th Ig-like domain. In addition to its cell-surface expression, L1 can occur in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Here we demonstrate that L1 is constitutively released from the cell surface by membrane-proximal cleavage. L1 shed from B16F10 melanoma cells remains intact and can serve as substrate for integrin-mediated cell adhesion and migration. The release of L1 occurs in mouse and human cells and is blocked by the metalloproteinase inhibitor TAPI (Immunex compound 3). This compound has been shown previously to block release of L-selectin and TNF-alpha which is mediated by the membrane-bound metalloproteinase TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE). Using CHO cells that are low in TACE expression and do not release L-selectin we demonstrate that L1 release is distinct from L-selectin shedding. We propose that cell-surface release may be necessary for the conversion of L1 from a membrane into an ECM protein.
