Abstract
The Ig superfamily (IgSF) intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) equilibrates between monomeric and dimeric forms on the cell surface, and dimerization enhances cell adhesion. A crystal structure of ICAM-1 IgSF domains (D) 3-5 revealed a unique dimerization interface in which D4s of two protomers fuse through edge beta-strands to form a single super beta-sandwich domain. Here, we describe a crystal structure at 2.7-A resolution of monomeric ICAM-1 D3-D5, stabilized by the monomer-specific Fab CA7. CA7 binds to D5 in a region that is buried in the dimeric interface and is distal from the dimerization site in D4. In monomeric ICAM-1 D3-D5, a 16-residue loop in D4 that is disordered in the dimeric structure could clearly be traced as a BC loop, a short C strand, and a CE meander with a cis-Pro followed by a solvent-exposed, flexible four-residue region. Deletions of 6 or 10 residues showed that the C-strand is essential for monomer stability, whereas a distinct six-residue deletion showed little contribution of the CE meander. Mutation of two inward-pointing Leu residues in edge beta-strand E to Lys increased monomer stability, confirming the hypothesis that inward-pointing charged side chains on edge beta-strands are an important design feature to prevent beta-supersheet formation. Overall, the studies reveal that monomer-dimer transition is associated with a surprisingly large, physiologically relevant, IgSF domain rearrangement.

Atoms of cis-Pro-319 and atoms C and O of Val-318 are represented with sticks, and the hydrogen bond in the turn between the C-strand and CE meander is dashed. The disulfide bond is shown in yellow. (B) Comparison of the CE edges of D2 (magenta) and monomeric D4 (cyan) of ICAM-1. Superposition is on -strands B, C, E, and F and the region containing -strands A, A', and G is omitted for clarity.

Fig. 4. The CA7 Fab binding site in D5. CA7 Fab is shown as a surface representation colored in wheat (heavy chain) and light blue (light chain) bound to monomeric D5 shown as a magenta ribbon, with indicated side chains in the AA loop at the center of the epitope as black sticks. Dimeric D4 and D5 are shown as ribbons with a cyan monomer and a yellow monomer superimposed on monomeric D5. The inward-pointing Leu residues of -strand E of the cyan monomer are shown as blue sticks.
