摘要: Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM-1) is a cell surface receptor widely distributed on endothelium and hematopoietic-derived cells, and maintain the integrity of the blood vessels. PECAM-1 is widely recognized as an endothelial cell marker. The homophilic interaction through its extracellular domain of PECAM-1 (soluble PECAM-1, or sPECAM-1) is important to its functions. However, structural details for such dimerization are not fully understood. Here we report the production of recombinant sPECAM-1 in large quantity by Drosophila expression system and the small-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXS) study. The recombinant sPECAM-1 was found to form one population of dimer, but not oligomer, and was able to bind to heparin immobilized on a chip in surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) binding experiments. The results of SAXS demonstrated that sPECAM-1 formed a symmetric homodimer of Omega-shape in solution, and each protomer adopted an extended conformation. The dimer is mediated through the intermolecular interactions through the first N-terminal domain (D1) of sPECAM-1. This model provides new structural information for its homophilic interaction mechanism. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
