Intercellular adhesion molecule-4 (ICAM-4, syn. LW glycoprotein) interacts with the integrins L 2, M 2, 4 1, the V family and IIb 3. Systematic mutagenesis of surface exposed residues conserved between human and murine ICAM-4 defined twelve single amino-acid changes that affect ICAM-4's interaction with V integrins. Mutation of ten of these residues, eight of which are spatially close on the surface of the molecule, led to a reduction in adhesion. Moreover, peptides corresponding to regions of ICAM-4 involved in its interaction with V integrins inhibited these interactions. The other two mutations increased the extent of interaction of ICAM-4 with V integrins. These mutations appear to prevent glycosylation of N160 suggesting that changes in glycosylation may modulate ICAM-4- V integrin interactions. The region of ICAM-4 identified as the binding site for V integrins is adjacent to the binding sites for L 2 and M 2. Selective binding of ICAM-4 to different integrins may be important for a variety of normal red cell functions and also relevant to the pathology of thrombotic disorders and vaso-occlusive events in sickle cell disease. Our findings suggest the feasibility of developing selective inhibitors of ICAM-4-integrin adhesion of therapeutic value in these diseases.
