Abstract
C-CAM (Cell-CAM 105) is a transmembrane cell adhesion molecule belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It mediates intercellular adhesion of rat hepatocytes and occurs in various isoforms in several epithelia, vessel endothelia and leukocytes. We now report that purified liver C-CAM interacts specifically with calmodulin. Binding was observed both when 125I-labeled C-CAM was used in a dot-blot assay and when 125I-labeled calmodulin was used in a gel overlay assay. Experiments with protease-generated peptides indicated that calmodulin bound to the cytoplasmic domain of C-CAM. Analyses of whole liver membranes demonstrated that C-CAM is one of five major proteins that bind calimodulin in a calcium-dependent manner.Keywords
