To study the role of CD44s-ankyrin interaction in regulating human prostate tumor cells, we have constructed several CD44s cytoplasmic deletion mutants that lack the ankyrin-binding site(s). These truncated cDNAs were stably transfected into CD44-negative human prostate tumor cells (LNCaP). Our results indicate that a critical region of 15-amino acids (aa) between aa 304 and aa 318 of CD44s is required for ankyrin binding. Biochemical analyses, using competition binding assays with a synthetic peptide containing the 15 aa between aa 304 and aa 318 (NSGNGAVEDRKPSGL), further support the conclusion that this region contains the ankyrin-binding domain of CD44s. Deletion of this 15-aa ankyrin-binding sequence from CD44s results in a drastic reduction of HA-mediated binding/cell adhesion, Src p60 kinase(s) interaction and anchorage-independent growth in soft agar. These findings suggest that the binding of cytoskeletal proteins, such as ankyrin, to the cytoplasmic domain of CD44s plays a pivotal role in regulating HA-mediated functions as well as Src kinase activity and prostate tumor cell transformation.</p>","PeriodicalId":9675,"journal":{"name":"Cell motility and the cytoskeleton","volume":"39 3","pages":"209-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/(SICI)1097-0169(1998)39:3<209::AID-CM4>3.0.CO;2-#","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20442489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown here that the cellular ATP concentration varies through the cell cycle, reaching a peak at G2M- and minimum at late G1/early S-phase. Furthermore, we have found, using indirect immunofluorescent staining with an antitubulin antibody, that depolymerization of the interphase microtubular network may be induced by increasing the intracellular ATP concentration in cultured fibroblasts from 2.2 mM to 4.1 mM. This may be obtained through addition of adenosine and P1 to the growth medium. Our results indicate that this effect of adenosine and Pi is not mediated via adenosine receptors, but through an elevated cellular ATP concentration.

Three regimes describe the cellular response: (1) Cell morphology and density remain unaltered at forces below a threshold of about 10(-7) N; (2) Between this critical force and a second threshold of about 1.5 10(-7)N, the number of adherent cells decreases exponentially with time and acceleration, with no alteration of cell morphology. This behavior can be modeled by a constant probability of detaching and by an exponential distribution of cell-to-substrate adhesive forces; (3) Past the second threshold, cells that are still adherent exhibit elongated morphologies, the degree of elongation increasing linearly with the force. The fact that cells lose their vinculin-rich focal contacts past the first threshold and that cells cultured on gelatin-coated plastic show an increased resistance to detachment suggests a rupture of cell-to-substrate adhesions upon centrifugation. Immunofluorescent labeling of cells for actin and tubulin shows a reorganization of the cytoskeleton upon centrifugation, and treatment of cells with the drugs cytochalasin D and nocodazole demonstrates that cytoskeletal elements are actively involved in the structural deformation of cells past the second acceleration threshold, microtubules and microfilaments paying antagonistic roles.</p>","PeriodicalId":9675,"journal":{"name":"Cell motility and the cytoskeleton","volume":"33 4","pages":"276-87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/(SICI)1097-0169(1996)33:4<276::AID-CM4>3.0.CO;2-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19772646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
