Function[CADN_DROME] Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. May associate with arm neural isoform and participate in the transmission of developmental information. Publication Abstract from PubMedVertebrate classical cadherins mediate selective calcium-dependent cell adhesion by mechanisms now understood at the atomic level. However, structures and adhesion mechanisms of cadherins from invertebrates, which are highly divergent yet function in similar roles, remain unknown. Here we present crystal structures of three- and four-tandem extracellular cadherin (EC) domain segments from Drosophila N-cadherin (DN-cadherin), each including the predicted N-terminal EC1 domain (denoted EC1') of the mature protein. While the linker regions for the EC1'-EC2' and EC3'-EC4' pairs display binding of three Ca(2+) ions similar to that of vertebrate cadherins, domains EC2' and EC3' are joined in a "kinked" orientation by a previously uncharacterized Ca(2+)-free linker. Biophysical analysis demonstrates that a construct containing the predicted N-terminal nine EC domains of DN-cadherin forms homodimers with affinity similar to vertebrate classical cadherins, whereas deleting the ninth EC domain ablates dimerization. These results suggest that, unlike their vertebrate counterparts, invertebrate cadherins may utilize multiple EC domains to form intercellular adhesive bonds. Sequence analysis reveals that similar Ca(2+)-free linkers are widely distributed in the ectodomains of both vertebrate and invertebrate cadherins. Crystal structures of Drosophila N-cadherin ectodomain regions reveal a widely used class of Ca2+-free interdomain linkers.,Jin X, Walker MA, Felsovalyi K, Vendome J, Bahna F, Mannepalli S, Cosmanescu F, Ahlsen G, Honig B, Shapiro L Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2011 Dec 14.
