Integrins are a major family of cell-matrix and cell-cell receptors. Bidirectional signal transmission between the extracellular matrix or other integrin ligands and the submembranous cytoskeleton and associated adaptor proteins is now being resolved (1-6). This review will concentrate on an emerging area of study: how the type of adhesion and the signaling following integrin ligation may be modulated by lateral interactions with other membrane components. This may occur through direct or indirect interactions. Two major groups of transmembrane proteins will form the focus of this review. One group, the tetraspans or TM4SF proteins (7-9), is composed of transmembrane proteins implicated in regulation of cell migration and invasion. They can interact directly with the extracellular domain of the alpha  chain of specific integrins. The second group, the syndecans (10-15), has not been shown to bind integrins directly but to bind to separate domains within integrin ligands. These also modify integrin-based adhesion, migration, invasiveness, and matrix assembly. The similarities in integrin modulation will be discussed.

Because of space constraints, integrin interactions with other transmembrane proteins will only be briefly mentioned. The first integrin-associated transmembrane protein (IAP,1 CD47) was cloned in 1993 (16). This is a receptor for the cell-binding domain of thrombospondin (17), and it can regulate vitronectin binding to alpha vbeta 3 (16, 18) and activate alpha IIbbeta 3 through thrombospondin binding (19). Mice lacking IAP have decreased resistance to bacterial infection probably because of delayed neutrophil migration to the site of infection and defective activation (20). IAP may also interact with alpha 2beta 1 integrin in vascular smooth muscle cells (21). Second, integrin and growth factor signaling pathways intersect, and a subset of highly phosphorylated platelet-derived growth factor and insulin receptors, together with other downstream signaling components, coprecipitates with alpha vbeta 3 after treatment of cells with platelet-derived growth factor or insulin (22). Third, urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (CD87) co-immunoprecipitates with beta 1, beta 2, and beta 3 integrins (23). Other membrane molecules (reviewed in Ref. 9) shown to interact by co-immunoprecipitation are CD98 (with alpha 3beta 1), which may regulate beta 1 integrin activation (24), CD36 (with alpha IIbbeta 3), and CD46 (with alpha 3beta 1). It is not yet clear whether interactions seen by co-immunoprecipitation are direct or due to formation of membrane microdomains containing multiple components, but some cross-linking studies (reviewed in Refs. 7-10) indicate direct binding. In addition, EMMPRIN/basigin (CD147), which regulates matrix metalloproteinase production, co-immunoprecipitates and colocalizes with alpha 3beta 1 and alpha 6beta 1 integrins (25) and can be cross-linked to these at the cell surface. The dystrophin complex can also associate with beta 1 integrins, possibly through alpha  and gamma  sarcoglycan (26). Finally, several studies (Ref. 27 and references therein) demonstrate that alpha 4beta 1, but not alpha 5beta 1, integrin-mediated melanoma cell adhesion requires a transmembrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (MCSP in human, NG2 in rat). A sequence in the alpha 4 integrin subunit can bind directly to chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan and, when used as an antagonist, can block alpha 4beta 1-mediated melanoma cell adhesion (27).

Tetraspans/TM4SFs are a large family of transmembrane proteins, which have four transmembrane domains, short N- and C-terminal cytoplasmic tails, and two extracellular loops (reviewed in Refs. 7-9). The transmembrane domains are the most highly conserved between family members, particularly the inclusion of polar amino acids, and the sequences of hydrophobic residues. There are also 2-3 conserved charged residues in the 4-amino acid cytoplasmic loop between transmembrane domains 2 and 3, including a glutamic acid residue. These, together with a PXSC motif and the conserved placement of 3 cysteines in the large extracellular domain form the structural basis for the family classification (7-9). The extracellular domains of tetraspans/TM4SFs are otherwise divergent between each family member and, except for some conservation of glycosylation sites, are approx 80% identical between species. An exception to this is the tetraspan/TM4SF (NAG-2), which is 90% conserved between mouse and human (27).

Tetraspans/TM4SFs are very widely expressed and can interact with themselves, other tetraspans/TM4SFs, and a range of other cell surface components. Because of the multicomponent complexes they participate in, they have been termed "adaptor" or "facilitator" molecules (7, 8). Some are nearly ubiquitously expressed (e.g. CD9, CD63, and CD81), whereas others are limited to platelets, immune cells, or neuronal cells (reviewed in Refs. 7-9). Many were originally identified as tumor-associated proteins and implicated in changes in adhesion, motility, metastatic potential, or proliferation (7-9). For example, CD9 transfection into carcinoma cells reduced motility and metastasis, and reduced CD9 expression accompanies poor prognosis in breast carcinoma (29). They also may play role(s) in development. For example, the Drosophila lbl gene is needed for normal formation of neuromuscular junctions, CD9 is transiently expressed during neuronal development, and the complement of tetraspans/TM4SFs expressed by T and B cells differs with the developmental stage (reviewed in Refs. 7-9).

Recently (30) tetraspans/TM4SFs were found to interact with integrins. The association is constitutive, e.g. in resting platelets (31), and independent of adhesion because it occurs in cells in suspension (32). Most studies have used co-immunoprecipitation under low stringency conditions and surface cross-linking and have identified integrin-tetraspan/TM4SF interactions with alpha 4beta 1, alpha 3beta 1, alpha 6beta 1, and alpha IIbbeta 3 with cell type-specific or contradictory reports for alpha 2beta 1, alpha 5beta 1, or alpha Lbeta 2 (reviewed in Refs. 7-9). Although deletion/chimeric transfection studies indicate tetraspans/TM4SFs interact through the extracellular domain of the alpha  subunit (32, 33), hydrophobic interactions may play some role (31), and the beta  subunit may also contribute because, although alpha 6beta 1 does interact, alpha 6beta 4 does not (30, 34).

Integrins and tetraspans/TM4SFs co-localize in clusters, particularly at leading lamellae of cells or in "footprints" left after cell detachment (28, 30-32, 34) or at intercellular contact sites (35). However, tetraspans/TM4SFs seem to be excluded from focal adhesions (28, 30-32, 34, 36). Indeed, in CHO co-transfection experiments, CD9 colocalized with alpha IIbbeta 3 integrin only in clusters at the leading edge of lamellae, whereas alpha IIbbeta 3 was additionally present in focal adhesions in cells seeded on fibrinogen (31). Furthermore, CD9 transfection of CHO cells did not alter focal adhesion formation (31). However, transfection with CD9 did alter actin cytoskeleton organization in HT1080 cells (36), and the effect varied with substrate. Most studies point to a role for tetraspans/TM4SFs and their associated integrins (e.g. alpha 3beta 1 and alpha 6beta 1) in migration rather than adhesion per se (8, 35, 37). This is highlighted by one study (33) that confirmed a stable, specific interaction of one tetraspan/TM4SF (CD151) with integrin alpha 3beta 1 by co-immunoprecipitation under stringent conditions. Unlike previous studies, where only subsets of tetraspan/TM4SF or integrin molecules interacted, most (70-90%) of alpha 3beta 1 associated with CD151 and no additional cell surface components were co-immunoprecipitated. Antibodies against either CD151 or alpha 3beta 1 dramatically reduced neutrophil migration, confirmed in a separate study (35). Anti-alpha 3beta 1 (but not anti-alpha 6beta 1) or anti-CD151 (but not anti-CD9) specifically inhibited neurite outgrowth, with no effect on adhesion. It remains to be seen whether the association of alpha 3beta 1 with CD151 is responsible for the previously observed association of alpha 3beta 1 with CD9, CD63, CD81, and NAG-2 (33).

Tetraspan/TM4SF interaction with integrins may provide indirect association of integrins, which do not have intrinsic enzymatic activity, with enzymes or other signaling molecules. Src family tyrosine kinase and lesser amounts of serine/threonine kinase activities associate with CD63-beta 2 integrin complexes (37), and CD53 binds an unknown tyrosine phosphatase (38). Conventional protein kinase C (cPKC) isotypes can associate with CD81 and CD151 (9) after activation. Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PI4-K; probably type II) associates constitutively with a multicomponent complex containing the tetraspans/TM4SFs CD63, CD81, and alpha 3beta 1 (32) and with the CD151-alpha 3beta 1 complex (33). Indeed, 95% of PI4-K activity was associated with alpha 3beta 1 through CD151 with only minor amounts through CD63 and CD81. The enzyme associates with the tetraspan/TM4SF protein rather than alpha 3beta 1 (32, 33). Interestingly, clustering the alpha 3beta 1-CD63-CD81 complex with antibodies to either tetraspan/TM4SF protein did not induce tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK or pp130cas, whereas clustering with anti-integrin did. HT1080 cells containing CD9 do, however, differ in FAK phosphorylation from wild type, and again this depends on which substrate is used for adhesion (36). Furthermore, antibodies against CD63, CD82, or CD151 all potentiated FAK phosphorylation when present as a mixed substrate with collagen (36), but adhesion to these antibodies alone reduced the level of FAK phosphorylation below even that seen in suspended cells. Thus, signaling through the tetraspans/TM4SF proteins appears complex. This recent study also demonstrated that tetraspan/TM4SF proteins are only weakly associated with the actin cytoskeleton (36). Thus, interactions of tetraspan/TM4SF proteins with their ligands has been suggested as an alternate signaling pathway leading to weak or transient cell-matrix-cytoskeleton interactions suitable for lamellipodial extension and retraction. CD9, CD63, CD81, CD82, and CD151 colocalize at punctate structures at the cell periphery, rather than focal adhesions, and although some colocalization of talin and FAK occurs, they do not appear to colocalize with vinculin- or paxillin-containing structures (36). Integrins are inserted at the leading edge of cells (reviewed in Ref. 39), PI4-K is implicated in vesicular transport (40), and CD63 has an internalization motif (41), which allows for lamellipodial colocalization of integrin/CD63 and rapid re-internalization of alpha 3beta 1 if complexes are not stabilized.

Cell surface proteoglycans can modify cell adhesion and migration, similar to the tetraspans/TM4SFs (reviewed in Refs. 10-15). Several early studies indicated a need for interaction of both heparin binding and "cell" binding motifs for the development of stress fibers and focal adhesions in a variety of anchorage-dependent cells (reviewed in Ref. 14). This has been confirmed recently (42, 43). Cell attachment and spreading appears to be integrin-mediated, whereas later cytoskeletal organization appears to be heparan sulfate proteoglycan-mediated (14), with concomitant activation of PKC (44). A study monitoring CHO responses through transfected alpha IIbbeta 3 to fibrinogen substrates (45) showed that antibody-coated substrates, whether integrin-activating or not, induced only limited spreading; full spreading required additional activation of PKC, and stress fiber formation followed Rho activation. The roles of the G proteins Rac, Rho, and Cdc42 in cell spreading and stress fiber/focal adhesion formation have been recently reviewed (46). Thus, there appear to be three sets of signaling involved in focal adhesion assembly: tyrosine phosphorylation events associated with integrin ligation, PKC activation associated with cell surface proteoglycan interactions, and Rho-GTP signaling.

There is one report of a syndecan being coimmunoprecipitated with CD9 tetraspanin/TM4SF, which also associates with integrin beta 1 (47). Direct interactions of syndecans with integrins have not been reported, but co-immunoprecipitation under low stringency such as used for tetraspan/TM4SF-integrin interactions has not been described. Syndecans have a single transmembrane domain, a short cytoplasmic domain, and a larger extracellular domain that bears 3-5 glycosaminoglycan chains, mostly heparan sulfate (10-15). The four mammalian syndecans have cell and developmental expression specificity (48). Briefly, syndecan-1, -2, and -3 are the major syndecans of epithelial, fibroblastic, and neuronal cells, respectively, whereas syndecan-4 is unusual, appearing as a minor component of most cells. Syndecan core proteins range in size from ~20 kDa (syndecan-4) to ~45 kDa (syndecan-1) as deduced from sequencing, which is not unlike that of tetraspans/TM4SFs (Table I). Like the tetraspans/TM4SFs, syndecan core proteins have high homology in the transmembrane domain. In addition, however, syndecans have two cytoplasmic regions, proximal and distal to the membrane, that are also highly conserved. We have termed these C1 and C2, respectively (14). In between these constant regions is a small cytoplasmic sequence (denoted V) unique to each syndecan but conserved between species. This has led to suggestions of syndecans having common and unique functions (14, 15). The extracellular domains are highly divergent except for the glycosaminoglycan attachment sites (10-15), even for the same syndecan of different species.

Table I
Similarities and properties of tetraspans and syndecans

Syndecans can bind a wide range of extracellular matrix molecules, growth factors, lipoproteins, and enzymes through their heparan sulfate chains (10-15). This has led to them being regarded as "co-receptors" for cell surface binding and internalization of a number of ligands (10). However, their precise roles in binding, presentation, and signaling are only now being revealed. Transfection experiments with syndecans have indicated that they can affect adhesion and/or migration. Syndecan-1 was the first to be cloned and has been the most studied. Expression of syndecan-1 in lymphocytes results in decreased invasion of collagen gels (49), whereas reduction of syndecan-1 in epithelial cells results in the cells appearing fibroblastic and invading collagen gels (50). This correlates with a loss of E-cadherin, and conversely, down-regulation of E-cadherin results in down-regulation of syndecan-1 (51). Syndecan-1, like tetraspans/TM4SFs, can be a prognosis marker for tumor progression (52). When expressed in Schwann cells, syndecan-1 led to increased cell spreading and stress fiber formation, and the transfected syndecan-1 codistributed with microfilaments during spreading but was not inserted into the focal adhesions that ultimately formed (reviewed in Ref. 12). Syndecan-1 and -3 can both codistribute with the microfilament system if clustered with antibodies against the ectodomain (12). Syndecan-2 overexpression also results in increased spreading (53) but does not increase focal adhesion formation nor is it a focal adhesion component in transfected cells or normal fibroblasts (54).

Syndecan-4, unlike integrin-associated tetraspans/TM4SFs, is localized to focal adhesions on a variety of substrates (54, 55), codistributed with alpha 5beta 1 or alpha vbeta 3 integrins in fibroblasts on fibronectin or vitronectin substrates, respectively (54). Its presence, therefore, is not limited to one specific integrin, but association may be limited to those integrins involved in focal adhesion formation. Primary fibroblasts will attach and spread on substrates coated with the "cell-binding" domain of fibronectin but do not form focal adhesions or stress fibers (42, 43, 56). Addition of clustering antibodies against syndecan-4 ectodomain can promote focal adhesion formation in cells prespread on the cell-binding domain of fibronectin (43).

Overexpression of syndecan-4 in CHO cells leads to an increase in spreading, accompanied by increased formation of focal adhesions and stress fibers (53). Expression of antisense cDNA for syndecan-4 or of a core protein with a truncated cytoplasmic domain, in contrast, leads to a decrease in spreading, focal adhesion, and stress fiber formation (53), confirming that signaling through syndecan-4 (see below) is fundamentally involved in cytoskeletal organization. Promotion of focal adhesion formation appears to be through clustering of the core protein, because this will occur if syndecan-4 core protein is overexpressed in mutant CHO cells that cannot add heparan sulfate chains and do not normally form focal adhesions (57). Syndecan core proteins spontaneously oligomerize (reviewed in Ref. 12).

Syndecan-4 cytoplasmic domain can bind PKCalpha and its constitutively active catalytic fragment PKM in vitro (58). It also associates in vivo with PKC as shown by co-clustering, co-immunoprecipitation, and affinity chromatography. Furthermore, interactions require prior activation of PKC, presumably to translocate PKC from the cytoplasm to the membrane (58). The site in syndecan-4 that binds PKC is its unique cytoplasmic V region, comprising the sequence LGKKPIYKK (58). The maximal activity of PKCalpha induced by phospholipid mediators, or of PKM, is enhanced in vitro by interaction with syndecan-4 core protein or with synthetic peptides encompassing the V region sequence (58). This requires multimerization of the core protein (54), which is a property of all syndecans (10-15). Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) promotes the oligomerization of the cytoplasmic domain of syndecan-4 (59, 60). PIP2 is itself an activator of cPKC isoforms and does not need to be cleaved by phospholipase C to diacylglycerol to achieve activation. Furthermore, syndecan-4 potentiates PKCalpha activation by PIP2 and abrogates the requirement for high levels of calcium needed for in vitro activity of the cPKC isoforms (60). Recent NMR studies (61) have indicated that the LGKKPIYKK (4V) peptide capable of activating PKC forms parallel dimers, in "twisted clamp" structures (Fig. 1), to which PIP2 binds on one face, potentially leaving the opposite face available for interactions with PKC or other syndecan-4/PIP2 oligomers. PIP2 also stabilizes syndecan-4 cytoplasmic domain dimer formation (61) and in chromatographic experiments promotes the formation of tetra- and octamers (60).

Fig. 2.   Schematic representation of integrin interactions with syndecan-4 (top) and tetraspan/TM4SF proteins (bottom). Tetraspans/TM4SFs bind extracellularly to the alpha  subunit of specific integrins and intracellularly associate with PI4-K constitutively and cPKC after activation, although the sites are unknown. Syndecan-4 colocalizes with specific integrins and binds PIP2 and PKCalpha internally through its central V region.

In addition to its effects on cell adhesion, syndecan-4 acts as a coreceptor in fibroblast growth factor signaling; its C1 domain is serine-phosphorylated in serum-starved endothelial cells (62). Dephosphorylation following fibroblast growth factor binding allows syndecan-4 core protein multimerization, revealing a mechanism for regulation of PKC binding and activation (63). Thus, syndecan-4 may play a pivotal role in the interplay between growth factor- and integrin-mediated signaling. Recent studies (43) have also indicated that syndecan-4 may activate Rho GTPase.

Syndecan-2 does not activate PKC but is itself a substrate for phosphorylation by PKC (Ref. 64 and references therein), which may be of importance in its effects on matrix synthesis (65). Syndecan-3 is preferentially expressed in the growth cones of neurites; interactions with its ligand HB-GAM promote growth cone extension, and its C1 region interacts with components of the Src-cortactin signaling pathway following interaction with its ligand (66). Interactions of the terminal EFYA sequence of the cytoplasmic domains of syndecans have been demonstrated with two PDZ proteins (syntenin (67) and CASK (68)), which may promote the formation of clusters of these proteoglycans. CASK contains a binding site for protein 4.1 (69). This may allow additional interactions between clustered membrane receptors and the cytoskeleton (reviewed in Ref. 15). CASK also has an SH3 domain capable of localizing adaptor/signaling molecules to multimeric complexes.

Syndecan regulation of adhesion may not be confined to cytoplasmic domain signaling. Expression of a tail-less syndecan-1 reduces matrix invasion by lymphocytes (49), and the cytoplasmic domain is not needed for retention in detergent-resistant cytoskeletal preparations (reviewed in Ref. 12). This, again, suggests some lateral association with other membrane molecules that are themselves somehow linked to the cytoskeleton. Further, recent data suggest a site in the ectodomain of syndecan-4 can interact with an unidentified surface molecule to promote adhesion without the need for the cytoplasmic domain (70). This is an important area for investigation with potential parallels to tetraspan/TM4SF biology.

Despite different structural characteristics, tetraspans/TM4SFs and syndecans have some strikingly convergent properties, some of which are listed in Table I and shown schematically in Fig. 2). They have similar protein sizes, very small cytoplasmic domains, and larger, but poorly conserved, ectodomains. Possibly structural motifs are conserved, whereas their constituent primary sequences are not. Perhaps most remarkable is the property of CD81, CD151, and syndecan-4 to bind activated cPKC (reviewed in Refs. 9 and 14). Direct interactions of PKC isoforms with transmembrane molecules are rare. PKC binding to tetraspans/TM4SFs may lead to serine phosphorylation of integrin alpha 3 and alpha 6 subunits (9), and the role of PKC in cytoskeletal organization is now emerging as a major field of study (e.g. Ref. 4 and references therein). Syndecan-4 may localize PKCalpha to forming focal adhesions, promote stable adhesion, and thereby reduce cell migration. Conversely, the same PKC bound to tetraspans/TM4SFs may enhance cell migration, because tetraspans/TM4SFs appear to be uniformly excluded from focal adhesions. How this system is balanced in cells is intriguing and may explain why PKC activation in different cell types can either promote adhesion or migration (4).

Fig. 1.   A ball and stick model of the energy-minimized average structure of the central V region of syndecan-4 cytoplasmic domain. It forms parallel twisted clamp dimers, and the two monomers are shown in green and blue. See Ref. 61 for full details.

Another common connection is with phosphoinositide metabolism. Syndecan-4 cytoplasmic domain dimers are stabilized by interactions with PIP2 (60, 61). Synthesis of this phospholipid is enhanced by integrin ligation and Rho and Rac activation (reviewed in Ref. 46). Many actin-associated protein functions are regulated by PIP2 (e.g. gelsolin, profilin, vinculin, ERM proteins) and, indeed, the assembly of focal adhesions may depend on its presence (71). With syndecan-4/PIP2 interactions, this may lead to a ternary signaling complex with PKCalpha activity being potentiated by concurrent interactions of its catalytic domain with the proteoglycan V region and its regulatory domain with PIP2. The functional consequence of PI4-K binding to some tetraspans/TM4SFs has also not been resolved. Clearly, it may also regulate inositol phosphate metabolism to regulate cytoskeletal interactions.

The emerging paradigm is that lateral interactions of the tetraspans/TM4SFs, syndecans, and perhaps other transmembrane molecules act as response modifiers for integrin function. Integrins do not have intrinsic kinase activity, and that activity may be the "collaborator" function to control signaling. Integrins associate with tyrosine kinases, e.g. FAK, pp130cas, Src, and integrin-linked kinase intracellularly, with effects on focal adhesion disassembly, growth, apoptosis, and matrix assembly. Tetraspans/TM4SFs and syndecans may optionally contribute finetuning of cytoskeletal organization through regulation of phosphoinositide metabolism and PKC location and activity.
