Engagement of CD81 induces ezrin tyrosine phosphorylation and its cellular redistribution with filamentous actin

Abstract: CD81 is a tetraspanin family member involved in diverse cellular interactions in the immune and nervous systems and in cell fusion events. However, the mechanism of action of CD81 and of other tetraspanins has not been defined. We reasoned that identifying signaling molecules downstream of CD81 would provide mechanistic clues. We engaged CD81 on the surface of B-lymphocytes and identified the induced tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins by mass spectrometry. This analysis showed that the most prominent tyrosine ph… Show more

“…Although we cannot rule out a functionally relevant transient or weak interaction between CD37 and b 2 integrin, we argue that the most likely model is that CD37 facilitates communication between b 2 integrins and the cytoskeleton. This model is consistent with several reports that tetraspanins modulate the activity of the cytoskeleton-regulating Rho GTPases (44,51,(59)(60)(61)(62), and interact with and regulate the activity of Ezrin-radixin-moesin proteins that can control cytoskeletal rearrangement through the Rho pathway (63,64). Thus, the impairment in the ability of CD37 2/2 neutrophils to bind stably to the vascular endothelium can be explained first by a defect in cytoskeletal rearrangement (Fig.…”

“…Thus, while the relative exclusion of CD81 renders virions more infectious, it is independent from the ability of Nef to increase virus infectivity. Based on the CD81-Ezrin interaction (77,78), the differential incorporation of CD81 into virions might be a consequence of the exclusion of Ezrin from WT virions (see below). ALG-2 was also suspected to restrict virus infectivity, based on its relative enrichment in the poorly infectious nef-deleted virions.…”

“…CD81, a four transmembrane protein with short cytoplasmic N-and C-terminal domains lacks tyrosine activation motifs (46). Nevertheless, the C-terminal domain of CD81 was shown to associate directly with ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM) proteins (47) and to modulate their activity (48). ERM proteins enable bridging between membrane proteins and the actin cytoskeleton and in doing so facilitate membrane reorganization (reviewed in ref.…”
