Abstract
Intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) play an immunoregulatory role in the intestine. This role involves cell-cell interactions with intraepithelial lymphocytes that may also play a role in some enteropathies. The discovery of the RGD motif-containing Protein ADAM-15 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease-15) raises the question of its involvement in these cell-cell interactions. Cell adhesion assays were performed using the Jurkat E6.1 T cell line as a model of T lymphocytes and Caco2-BBE monolayers as a model of intestinal epithelia. Our results show that an anti-ADAM-15 ectodomain antibody inhibited the attachment of Jurkat cells on Caco2-BBE monolayers. Overexpression of ADAM-15 in Caco2-BBE cells enhanced Jurkat cell binding, and overexpression of ADAM-15 in Jurkat cells enhanced their aggregation. Mutagenesis experiments showed that both the mutation of ADAM-15 RGD domain or the deletion of its cytoplasmic tail decreased these cell-cell interactions. Moreover, wound-healing experiments showed that epithelial ADAM-15-mediated Jurkat cell adhesion to Caco2-BBE cells enhances the mechanisms of wound repair. We also found that ADAM-15-mediated aggregation of Jurkat cells increases the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha mRNA. These results demonstrate the following: 1) ADAM-15 is involved in heterotypic adhesion of intraepithelial lymphocytes to IEC as well as in homotypic aggregation of T cells; 2) both the RGD motif and the cytoplasmic tail of ADAM-15 are involved for these cell-cell interactions; and 3) ADAM-15-mediated cell-cell interactions are involved in mechanisms of epithelial restitution and production of pro-inflammatory mediators. Altogether these findings point to ADAM-15 as a possible therapeutic target for prevention of inappropriate T cell activation involved in some pathologies.

Abstract
Src-homology (SH3) domain belongs to a class of ubiquitous modular protein domains found in nature. SH3 domains have a conserved surface that recognises proline-rich peptides in ligand proteins, but additional contacts also contribute to binding. Using the SH3 domain of hematopoietic cell kinase as a test case, we show that SH3 binding properties can be profoundly altered by modifications within a hexapeptide sequence in the RT-loop region that is not involved in recognition of currently known consensus SH3 target peptides. These results highlight the role of non-conserved regions in SH3 target selection, and introduce a strategy that may be generally feasible for generating artificial SH3 domains with desired ligand binding properties.

Abstract
We studied the interaction of hematopoietic cell kinase SH3 domain (HckSH3) with an artificial 12-residue proline-rich peptide PD1 (HSKYPLPPLPSL) identified as high affinity ligand (K(D)=0.2 muM). PD1 shows an unusual ligand sequence for SH3 binding in type I orientation because it lacks the typical basic anchor residue at position P(-3), but instead has a tyrosine residue at this position. A basic lysine residue, however, is present at position P(-4). The solution structure of the HckSH3:PD1 complex, which is the first HckSH3 complex structure available, clearly reveals that the P(-3) tyrosine residue of PD1 does not take the position of the typical anchor residue but rather forms additional van der Waals interactions with the HckSH3 RT loop. Instead, lysine at position P(-4) of PD1 substitutes the function of the P(-3) anchor residue. This finding expands the well known ligand consensus sequence +xxPpxP by +xxxPpxP. Thus, software tools like iSPOT fail to identify PD1 as a high-affinity HckSH3 ligand so far. In addition, a short antiparallel beta-sheet in the RT loop of HckSH3 is observed upon PD1 binding. The structure of the HckSH3:PD1 complex reveals novel features of SH3 ligand binding and yields new insights into the structural basics of SH3-ligand interactions. Consequences for computational prediction tools adressing SH3-ligand interactions as well as the biological relevance of our findings are discussed.

Abstract
A disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM)15 is upregulated in some tissues undergoing remodeling. This glycoprotein is characterized by adhesive function through its interaction with members of the integrin family and protease properties. The goal of this work was to describe the tissue distribution of ADAM15 and its spatial relationship with its known binding partners in inflammatory bowel disease. ADAM15 expression was examined using frozen tissues from eight patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease and four normal colons by immunohistochemistry, immunoblotting and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. In addition expression of alpha5beta1- and alphavbeta3-integrins, VE-cadherin, alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) and collagen IV was examined using immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy. In the normal colon, ADAM15 was expressed by all epithelial cells throughout the crypt and by pericryptic myofibroblasts coexpressing alpha-SMA and collagen IV. ADAM15 was also expressed by endothelial cells and vascular myocytes in all layers of the intestinal wall as well as by nonvascular myocytes of the muscularis mucosae and muscularis propria. In inflammatory bowel diseases, ADAM15 was strongly upregulated at the mRNA level and expressed only as an active form as shown by immunoblotting analysis. Parallel to its upregulation, ADAM15 expression was found both at the plasma membrane and in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells in acute attacks of the disease. In the crypt abcesses, ADAM15-positive epithelial cells were in close contact with alpha5beta1-integrin-positive leukocytes localized between these cells and in the crypt lumen. In the regenerative areas, ADAM15-positive epithelial cells were in close contact with alpha5beta1- and alphavbeta3-positive pericryptic myofibroblasts. In endothelial cells, VE-cadherin was decreased. In contrast, ADAM15 was strongly expressed by endothelial cells and was in close contact with alpha5beta1-positive leukocytes. There is a differential expression of ADAM15 in epithelial cells during inflammatory bowel disease compared with the normal colon. In addition, the spatial relationships with its binding partners suggest a role for ADAM15 in the differentiation of regenerative colonic mucosa as well as in leukocyte transmigration across epithelial and endothelial barriers.

Abstract
ADAM22 is one of three catalytically inactive ADAM family members highly expressed in the brain. ADAM22 has numerous splice variants, all with considerable cytoplasmic tails of up to 148 amino acids. ADAM22 can act to inhibit cell proliferation, however, it has been suggested that it also acts as an adhesion protein. We identified three 14-3-3 protein members by a yeast two-hybrid screen and show by co-immunoprecipitation that the cytoplasmic domain of ADAM22 can interact with all six 14-3-3 proteins expressed in the brain. In addition, we show that 14-3-3 proteins interact preferentially with the serine phosphorylated precursor form of ADAM22. ADAM22 has two 14-3-3 protein binding consensus motifs; the first binding site, spanning residues 831-834, was shown to be the most crucial for 14-3-3 binding to occur. The interaction between ADAM22 and 14-3-3 proteins is dependent on phosphorylation of ADAM22, but not of 14-3-3 proteins. ADAM22 point mutants lacking functional 14-3-3 protein binding motifs could no longer accumulate efficiently at the cell surface. Deletion of both 14-3-3 binding sites and newly identified ER retention motifs restored localization of ADAM22 at the cell surface. These results reveal a role for 14-3-3 proteins in targeting ADAM22 to the membrane by masking ER retention signals.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like proteins comprise a group of structurally similar growth factors, which contain a conserved six-cysteine residue motif called the EGF-domain. EGF-like factors are synthesized as transmembrane precursors, which can undergo proteolytic cleavage at the cell surface to release a mature soluble ectodomain; a process often referred to as "ectodomain shedding". Ectodomain shedding of EGF-like factors has been linked to multiple zinc-binding metalloproteases of the matrix metalloprotease (MMP) and a disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) families. Shedding can be activated by a variety of pharmacological and physiological stimuli and these activation events have been linked to the enhancement of metalloprotease activity, possibly via the action of intracellular signaling modules. Once shed from the cell surface, EGF-like factors bind to a family of four cell surface receptors named ErbB-1, -2, -3 and -4. Heterodimerization or homodimerization of these receptors following ligand binding drives intracellular signal transduction cascades, which eventuate in diverse cell fates including proliferation, differentiation, migration and inhibition of apoptosis. In addition to its role in driving normal developmental processes, a wealth of evidence now exists showing that de-regulated ErbB signaling is associated with the formation of tumors in a variety of tissues and that ectodomain shedding of EGF-like factors plays a critical event in this process. Thus, knowledge of the molecular mechanisms by which EGF-like factors are shed from the cell surface and the nature of the proteases and cellular signals that govern this process is crucial to understanding ErbB receptor signaling and potentially also in the development of novel cancer therapeutics targeting the ErbB pathway. This review focuses on the structure and function of EGF-like factors, and the mechanisms that govern the shedding of these transmembrane molecules from the cell surface.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors induce EGF receptor (EGFR) signaling, leading to the proliferation and invasion of cancer cells. Elucidation of the mechanism of EGFR activation by G protein-coupled receptors may identify new signaling paradigms. A gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP)/GRP receptor-mediated autocrine pathway was previously described in squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck. In the present study, we demonstrate that TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE), a disintegrin and metalloproteinse-17, undergoes a Src-dependent phosphorylation that regulates release of the EGFR ligand amphiregulin upon GRP treatment. Further investigation reveals the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) as the intermediate of c-Src and TACE, contributing to their association and TACE phosphorylation. Phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1), a downstream target of PI3-K, has been identified as the previously undescribed kinase to directly phosphorylate TACE upon GRP treatment. These findings suggest a signaling cascade of GRP-Src-PI3-K-PDK1-TACE-amphiregulin-EGFR with multiple points of interaction, translocation, and phosphorylation. Furthermore, knockdown of PDK1 augmented the antitumor effects of the EGFR inhibitor erlotinib, indicating PDK1 as a therapeutic target to improve the clinical response to EGFR inhibitors.

Abstract
There is much to find out about this fascinating and complex molecule in relation to the development and progression of asthma. Added to it are three further new asthma/allergy genes identified by positional cloning: PDH Finger Protein II (PHF11) on chromosome 13q14, which encodes NY-REN-34 a protein first described in patients with renal cell carcinoma [67]; Dipeptidyl diptidase 10 (DDP10) on chromosome 2q14 [68]; and G protein-coupled receptor for asthma susceptibility (GPRA) on chromosome 7p [69]. For each of these genes, as is the case for ADAM33, determining their normal function(s) and how these become disordered in asthma is the future challenge.

Abstract
We analyzed the ligand binding specificity of the lymphocyte specific kinase (Lck) SH3 domain. We identified artificial Lck SH3 ligands using phage display. In addition, we analyzed Lck SH3 binding sites within known natural Lck SH3 binding proteins using an Lck specific binding assay on membrane-immobilized synthetic peptides. On one hand, from the phage-selected peptides, representing mostly special class I' ligands, a well-defined consensus sequence was obtained. Interestingly, a histidine outside the central polyproline motif contributes significantly to Lck SH3 binding affinity and specificity. On the other hand, we confirmed previously mapped Lck SH3 binding sites in ADAM15, HS1, SLP76, and NS5A, and identified putative Lck SH3 binding sites of Sam68, FasL, c-Cbl, and Cbl-b. Without exception, the comparatively diverse Lck SH3 binding sites of all analyzed natural Lck SH3 binding proteins emerged as class II proteins. Possible explanations for the observed variations between artificial and native ligands-which are not due to significant K(D) value differences as shown by calculating Lck SH3 affinities of artificial peptide PD1-Y(-3)R as well as for peptides comprising putative Lck SH3 binding sites of NS5A, Sos, and Sam68-are discussed. Our data suggest that phage display, a popular tool for determining SH3 binding specificity, must-at least in the case of Lck-not irrevocably mirror physiologically relevant protein-ligand interactions.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor alpha-converting enzyme (TACE/ADAM17) has been implicated in the inducible shedding of numerous cell surface proteins. In light of this, the regulation of TACE catalytic activation and protein maturation has recently received considerable interest in the context of extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation and the subsequent phosphorylation of TACE at residue Thr735. In this study, we analysed the subcellular localisation of TACE derivatives using laser-scanning confocal microscopy and cell surface biotinylation. Whereas WT.TACE- and T735A.TACE-enhanced green fluorescent protein (-eGFP) fusion derivatives of TACE were both found to localise with the endoplasmic reticulum, a phosphomimicking form of TACE (T735E.TACE-eGFP) was found to colocalise predominantly with components of the protein secretory pathway (COPII vesicles and trans-Golgi network). Additionally, upon analysis of biotinylated ectopic TACE, we observed that inducible trafficking of TACE to the cell surface was dependent upon extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation and phosphorylation of Thr735. We conclude from our observations that phosphorylation of TACE at Thr735 highlights a key step in inducible TACE protein trafficking and maturation.

Abstract
ADAM genes have been associated with cancer, with ADAM expression, genomic rearrangements, and, by implication of ADAM proteins in the altered behavior found in tumor cells. In the present study, increased copy number of the ADAM15 gene in human breast cancer cell lines was demonstrated by fluorescence in situ hybridization. This was not reflected in mRNA levels, however. Instead, the use of alternative ADAM15 exons appeared erratic, leading to aberrant combinations of ADAM15 mRNA isoforms in the cancer cells. Clustering analysis indicated that these isoform patterns were nonrandom, suggesting a failure in the regulation mechanism or mechanisms of the alternative exon usage. Altered regulation of alternative exon usage may provide a useful target for cancer diagnostics development. ADAM15 would be particularly appropriate for breast cancer diagnostics because the various combinations of its three alternatively used exons can be readily examined with a simple, straightforward PCR protocol.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway is one of the most important pathways that regulate growth, survival, proliferation, and differentiation in mammalian cells. Reflecting this importance, it is one of the best-investigated signaling systems, both experimentally and computationally, and several computational models have been developed for dynamic analysis. A map of molecular interactions of the EGFR signaling system is a valuable resource for research in this area. In this paper, we present a comprehensive pathway map of EGFR signaling and other related pathways. The map reveals that the overall architecture of the pathway is a bow-tie (or hourglass) structure with several feedback loops. The map is created using CellDesigner software that enables us to graphically represent interactions using a well-defined and consistent graphical notation, and to store it in Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The membrane-anchored metalloproteinase disintegrin ADAM15 is up-regulated in osteoarthritis and has been implicated in proteolysis and cell-matrix interactions. To address its role in cartilage metabolism, we performed an analysis of joint morphology in aging mice with a targeted inactivation of the ADAM15 gene (ADAM15(-/-)). In addition, a human chondrocyte cell line overexpressing ADAM15 was used to investigate the role of ADAM15 in an in vitro model of chondrocyte-matrix interactions. METHODS Knee joint sections from 3-, 6-, and 12-14-month-old ADAM15(-/-) and wild-type (WT) 129/SvJ mice were examined for synovial hyperplasia, cartilage degradation, and osteophyte formation. Stable transfection of the human T/C28a4 chondrocyte cell line with full-length human ADAM15 complementary DNA led to the establishment of ADAM15-overexpressing chondrocytes that were further analyzed for their capability to adhere to and to survive on cartilage matrix molecules (fibronectin and types II and VI collagen) under conditions of serum starvation. ADAM15 expression was investigated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. RESULTS Aging ADAM15(-/-) mice exhibited accelerated development of osteoarthritic lesions compared with WT mice, and the difference was statistically significant at age 12 months. The osteoarthritic changes preferentially affected male ADAM15(-/-) mice. ADAM15 overexpression in T/C28a4 cells led to the specific reinforcement of chondrocyte adhesion to cartilage types II and VI collagen, and this was associated with enhanced cell viability under conditions of serum starvation. CONCLUSION The accelerated development of murine osteoarthritis in ADAM15 deficiency as well as the proadhesive and cell survival-promoting in vitro effect of ADAM15 overexpression suggest a homeostatic rather than a destructive role of ADAM15 in cartilage remodeling.

Abstract
ERBB receptor tyrosine kinases have important roles in human cancer. In particular, the expression or activation of epidermal growth factor receptor and ERBB2 are altered in many epithelial tumours, and clinical studies indicate that they have important roles in tumour aetiology and progression. Accordingly, these receptors have been intensely studied to understand their importance in cancer biology and as therapeutic targets, and many ERBB inhibitors are now used in the clinic. We will discuss the significance of these receptors as clinical targets, in particular the molecular mechanisms underlying response.

Abstract
ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease) proteins are membrane-anchored metalloproteases that process and shed the ectodomains of membrane-anchored growth factors, cytokines and receptors. ADAMs also have essential roles in fertilization, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, heart development and cancer. Research on ADAMs and their role in protein ectodomain shedding is emerging as a fertile ground for gathering new insights into the functional regulation of membrane proteins.

Abstract
Asthma is known to be a Th2 inflammatory syndrome that leads to intermittent airway obstruction. However, the mechanisms involved in development of the clinical features remain enigmatic, although genetic elements clearly are involved. Recently, based on a large genome wide screen involving families in the United Kingdom and the United States with at least two siblings with asthma, a locus was identified that encoded for a family of proteases. This group of proteins is now known as the ADAM superfamily. In this review, we discuss the ADAM superfamily and, in particular, ADAM 33, a member of a family of genes which encode a subgroup of zinc dependent metalloproteinase (metzincin). The potential for therapeutic intervention with ADAM 33 is extremely attractive and further work will not only focus on the specific domains of ADAM 33, but also the mechanisms by which they lead to bronchial hyperreactivity.

Abstract
The disintegrin metalloproteases (or ADAMs) are membrane-anchored glycoproteins that have been implicated in cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions and in proteolysis of molecules on the cell surface. The expression and/or the pathophysiological implications of ADAMs are not known in intestinal epithelial cells. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the expression and the role of ADAMs in intestinal epithelial cells. Expression of ADAMs was assessed by RT-PCR, Western blot analysis, and immunufluorescence experiments. Wound-healing experiments were performed by using the electric cell substrate impedence sensing technology. Our results showed that ADAMs-10, -12, and -15 mRNA are expressed in the colonic human cell lines Caco2-BBE and HT29-Cl.19A. An ADAM-15 complementary DNA cloned from Caco2-BBE poly(A)+ RNA, and encompassing the entire coding region, was found to be shorter and to present a different region encoding the cytoplasmic tail compared with ADAM-15 sequence deposited in the database. In Caco2-BBE cells and colonic epithelial cells, ADAM-15 protein was found in the apical, basolateral, and intracellular compartments. We also showed that the overexpression of ADAM-15 reduced cell migration in a wound-healing assay in Caco2-BBE monolayers. Our data show that 1) ADAM-15 is expressed in human intestinal epithelia, 2) a new variant of ADAM-15 is expressed in a human intestinal epithelial cell line, and 3) ADAM-15 is involved in intestinal epithelial cells wound-healing processes. Together, these results suggest that ADAM-15 may have important pathophysiological roles in intestinal cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to show variant species of ADAM15 and unique Src homology 3 (SH3)-binding motifs, which strongly bound Src family proteins compared with ADAM15. METHODS AND RESULTS RT-PCR using primers for the cytoplasmic domain revealed the presence of different species, designated ADAM15v1 and ADAM15v2, which had characteristic SH3-binding class I and class II motifs. The mRNA of ADAM15v1 and ADAM15v2 was mainly found in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, T lymphocytes and monocytic cell lines. ADAM15v2 protein interacted more strongly with the Src family proteins Lck and Hck than did ADAM15 protein, as examined by pull-down analysis and immunoprecipitation followed by immunoblot analysis. The binding with Lck and Hck was enhanced by the phosphorylation of ADAM15v2 protein. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the cytoplasmic domain of ADAM15v2 strongly interacts with Lck and Hck and regulates leukocyte function.

Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) are characterized by up-regulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). We previously reported that a gastrin-releasing peptide/gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRP/GRPR) autocrine growth pathway is activated early in HNSCC carcinogenesis. GRP can induce rapid phosphorylation of EGFR and p42/44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation in part via extracellular release of transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). It has been reported that Src family kinases are activated by G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), followed by downstream EGFR and MAPK activation. To further elucidate the mechanism of activation of EGFR by GRP in HNSCC, we investigated the role of Src family kinases. Blockade of Src family kinases using an Src-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor A-419259 decreased GRP-induced EGFR phosphorylation and MAPK activation. GRP also failed to induce MAPK activation in dominant-negative c-Src-transfected HNSCC cells. Invasion and growth assays showed that c-Src was required for GRP-induced proliferation or invasion of HNSCC cells. In addition to TGF-alpha release, GRP induced amphiregulin, but not EGF, secretion into HNSCC cell culture medium, an effect that was blocked by the MMP inhibitor marimastat. TGF-alpha and amphiregulin secretion by GRP stimulation also was inhibited by blockade of Src family kinases. These results suggest that Src family kinases contribute to GRP-mediated EGFR growth and invasion pathways by facilitating cleavage and release of TGF-alpha and amphiregulin in HNSCC.

Abstract
Cross-talk between G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling systems is widely established in a variety of normal and transformed cell types. Here, we demonstrate that the EGFR transactivation signal requires metalloproteinase cleavage of epidermal growth factor-like growth factor precursors in fibroblasts, ACHN kidney, and TccSup bladder carcinoma cells. Furthermore, we present evidence that blockade of the metalloproteinase-disintegrin tumor necrosis factor-alpha-converting enzyme (TACE/ADAM17) by a dominant negative ADAM17 mutant prevents angiotensin II-stimulated pro-HB-EGF cleavage, EGFR activation, and cell proliferation in ACHN tumor cells. Moreover, we found that in TccSup cancer cells, the lysophosphatidic acid-induced transactivation signal is mediated by ADAM15, demonstrating that distinct combinations of growth factor precursors and ADAMs (a disintegrin and metalloproteinases) regulate GPCR-EGFR cross-talk pathways in cell lines derived from urogenital cancer. Our data show further that activation of ADAMs results in discrete cellular responses; whereas GPCR agonists promote activation of the Ras/MAPK pathway and cell proliferation via the EGFR in fibroblasts and ACHN cells, EGFR transactivation pathways regulate activation of the survival mediator Akt/protein kinase B and the susceptibility of fibroblasts and TccSup bladder carcinoma cells to proapoptotic signals such as serum deprivation, death receptor stimulation, and the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin. Thus, ADAM15 and -17 function as effectors of GPCR-mediated signaling and define critical characteristics of cancer cells.

Abstract
A disintegrin and metalloproteases (ADAMs) are implicated in the ectodomain shedding of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligands in EGFR transactivation. However, the activation mechanisms of ADAMs remain elusive. To analyze the regulatory mechanisms of ADAM activation, we performed yeast two-hybrid screening using the cytoplasmic domain of ADAM12 as bait, and identified a protein that we designated Eve-1. Two cDNAs were cloned and characterized. They encode alternatively spliced isoforms of Eve-1, called Eve-1a and Eve-1b, that have four and five tandem Src homology 3 (SH3) domains in the carboxyl-terminal region, respectively, and seven proline-rich SH3 domain binding motifs in the amino-terminal region. The short forms of Eve-1, Eve-1c and Eve-1d, translated at Met-371 are human counterparts of mouse Sh3d19. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that Eve-1 is abundantly expressed in skeletal muscle and heart. Western blot analysis revealed the dominant production of Eve-1c in human cancer cell lines. Knockdown of Eve-1 by small interfering RNA in HT1080 cells reduced the shedding of proHB-EGF induced by angiotensin II and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, as well as the shedding of pro-transforming growth factor-alpha, promphiregulin, and proepiregulin by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, suggesting that Eve-1 plays a role in positively regulating the activity of ADAMs in the signaling of EGFR-ligand shedding.

Abstract
Metargidin, a transmembrane protein of the adamalysin family, and integrins, e.g., alpha5beta1 and alphav, are preferentially expressed on endothelial cells on angiogenesis. Furthermore, metargidin interacts with these integrins via its disintegrin domain. In this study, recombinant human disintegrin domain (RDD) was produced in Escherichia coli by subcloning its cDNA into the pGEX-2T vector, and the effect of purified RDD on different steps of angiogenesis was evaluated. At concentrations of 2-10 micro g/ml, RDD exhibited inhibitory activities in a variety of in vitro functional assays, including endothelial cell proliferation and adhesion on the integrin substrates fibronectin, vitronectin, and fibrinogen. RDD (10 micro g/ml) totally abrogated endothelial cell migration and blocked most capillary formation in a three-dimensional fibrin gel. To test RDD efficacy in vivo, the RDD gene inserted into pBi vector containing a tetracycline-inducible promoter was electrotransferred into nude mouse muscle. RDD was successfully synthesized by muscle cells in vivo as shown by immunolabeling and Western blotting. In addition, 78% less MDA-MB-231 tumor growth, associated with strong inhibition of tumor angiogenesis, was observed in athymic mice bearing electrotransferred RDD. Moreover, in the presence of RDD, 74% fewer B16F10 melanoma lung metastases were found in C57BL/6 mice. Taken together, these results identified this RDD as a potent intrinsic inhibitor of angiogenesis, tumor growth, and metastasis, making it a promising tool for use in anticancer treatment.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha-converting enzyme (TACE/ADAM-17) has diverse roles in the proteolytic processing of cell surface molecules and, due to its ability to process TNFalpha, is a validated therapeutic target for anti-inflammatory therapies. Unlike a number of other ADAM proteins, which interact with integrin receptors via their disintegrin domains, there is currently no evidence for an ADAM-17-integrin association. By analyzing the adhesion of a series of cell lines with recombinant fragments of the extracellular domain of ADAM-17, we now demonstrate a functional interaction between ADAM-17 and alpha(5)beta(1) integrin in a trans orientation. Because ADAM-17-mediated adhesion was sensitive to RGD peptides and EDTA, and the integrin-binding site within ADAM-17 was narrowed down to the disintegrin/cysteine-rich region, the two molecules appear to have a ligand-receptor relationship mediated by the alpha(5)beta(1) ligand binding pocket. Intriguingly, ADAM-17 and alpha(5)beta(1) were found to co-localize in both membrane ruffles and focal adhesions in HeLa cells. When confluent HeLa cell monolayers were wounded, ADAM-17 and alpha(5)beta(1) redistributed to the leading edge and co-localized, which is suggestive of a cis orientation. We postulate that the interaction of ADAM-17 with alpha(5)beta(1) may target or modulate its metalloproteolytic activity.

Abstract
While asthma is a disorder of the conducting airways characterised by Th2-directed inflammation, a second set of mechanisms is being increasingly recognised as fundamental to disease chronicity and severity, for which the term "remodelling" has been used. The cellular and mediator responses underpinning airway remodelling involve aberrant communication between the airway epithelium and underlying mesenchyme, involving the generation of growth factors that lead to proliferation of fibroblasts and smooth muscle and the deposition of matrix proteins to cause airway wall thickening linked to bronchial hyperresponsiveness and fixed airflow obstruction. The identification of ADAM33 on chromosome 20p13 from positional cloning as a novel candidate gene involved in the pathogenesis of these structural and functional changes has opened the way to further insight into these processes that contribute to corticosteroid refractoriness. The preferential expression of ADAM33 in mesenchymal cells and its multiple molecular actions provide ample opportunity for incriminating this molecule in chronic asthma. Its association with progressive asthma and in predicting reduced lung function in young children suggest that ADAM33 has an important role in the natural history and possibly the origins of asthma, a disease unique to humans.

Abstract
The hematopoietic cell kinase Hck is a Src family tyrosine kinase expressed in cells of myelomonocytic lineage, B lymphocytes, and embryonic stem cells. To study its role in signaling pathways we used the Hck-SH3 domain in protein interaction cloning and identified C3G, the guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Rap1 and R-Ras, as a protein that associated with Hck. This interaction was direct and was mediated partly through the proline-rich region of C3G. C3G could be co-immunoprecipitated with Hck from Cos-1 cells transfected with Hck and C3G. C3G was phosphorylated on tyrosine 504 in cells when coexpressed with Hck but not with a catalytically inactive mutant of Hck. Phosphorylation of endogenous C3G at Tyr-504 was increased by treatment of human myelomonocytic THP-1 cells with mercuric chloride, which is known to activate Hck tyrosine kinase specifically. Coexpression of Hck with C3G induced a high level of apoptosis in many cell lines by 30-42 h of transfection. Induction of apoptosis was not dependent on Tyr-504 phosphorylation or the catalytic domain of C3G but required the catalytic activity of Hck. Using dominant negative constructs of caspases we found that caspase-1, -8, and -9 are involved in this apoptotic pathway. These results suggest that C3G and Hck interact physically and functionally in vivo to activate kinase-dependent and caspase-mediated apoptosis, which is independent of catalytic domain of C3G.

Abstract
The murine cell surface antigen ADAM 15 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed in a variety of cells including monocytic and T cell lines and consists of a metalloprotease domain, a disintegrin domain, a cysteine-rich domain, and an epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain in the extracellular region. The cytoplasmic domain comprises 103 amino acids containing proline-rich endophilin I, Src homology 3 (SH3), and phox homology domain-containing protein (SH3PX1) binding motifs. The ADAM15 gene is composed of 21 exons and 20 introns and spans approximately 10 kb. The transcription initiation site of the ADAM15 gene was defined by an oligonucleotide-capping method. Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR using primers of the cytoplasmic domain of ADAM15 revealed the presence of different ADAM15 species designated ADAM15v1 and ADAM15v2, respectively, that had characteristic SH3-binding class I and/or class II motifs. The ADAM15v1 and ADAM15v2 genes consist of an extra one exon and two exons, respectively, which exist in intron 19 of the ADAM15 gene. The expression of ADAM15v1 and ADAM15v2 mRNA was found in T lymphocyte and monocyte lines. ADAM15v2 protein interacted more strongly with the Src family proteins Lck and Src than ADAM15 protein, when examined by pull-down and immunoprecipitation followed by immunoblot analysis using a T lymphocyte line. Phosphorylation of ADAM15v2 protein markedly enhanced the binding with Lck. These results suggest that the cytoplasmic domain of ADAM15v2 strongly interacts with Lck and plays an important role in T lymphocytes.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha converting enzyme (TACE/ADAM-17) is a metalloprotease disintegrin that cleaves a variety of membrane proteins, releasing ("shedding") their extracellular domains from cells. Most TACE-mediated shedding events occur at low basal rates that are enhanced by treatment of cells with a variety of stimuli. To study the mechanism of induced shedding, we developed a peptide-cleavage assay that measures the cellular TACE activity. In unstimulated cells, cleavage of a TNFalpha processing-site peptide was mediated mainly by enzymes other than TACE. However, stimulation of cells with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) increased peptide cleavage in a TACE-dependent manner. PMA treatment did not increase the amount of TACE on the cell surface. Moreover, the cytoplasmic domain of TACE was not required for the induced activity. Based on these observations, induction of TACE-mediated shedding events occurs at least in part via an increase in the enzymatic activity of cellular TACE, independent of its cytoplasmic domain.

Abstract
ADAM15 (named for a disintegrin and metalloprotease 15, metargidin) is a membrane-anchored glycoprotein that has been implicated in cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions and in the proteolysis of molecules on the cell surface or extracellular matrix. To characterize the potential roles of ADAM15 during development and in adult mice, we analyzed its expression pattern by mRNA in situ hybridization and generated mice carrying a targeted deletion of ADAM15 (adam15(-/-) mice). A high level of expression of ADAM15 was found in vascular cells, the endocardium, hypertrophic cells in developing bone, and specific areas of the hippocampus and cerebellum. However, despite the pronounced expression of ADAM15 in these tissues, no major developmental defects or pathological phenotypes were evident in adam15(-/-) mice. The elevated levels of ADAM15 in endothelial cells prompted an evaluation of its role in neovascularization. In a mouse model for retinopathy of prematurity, adam15(-/-) mice had a major reduction in neovascularization compared to wild-type controls. Furthermore, the size of tumors resulting from implanted B16F0 mouse melanoma cells was significantly smaller in adam15(-/-) mice than in wild-type controls. Since ADAM15 does not appear to be required for developmental angiogenesis or for adult homeostasis, it may represent a novel target for the design of inhibitors of pathological neovascularization.

Abstract
Fish is a scaffolding protein and Src substrate. It contains an amino-terminal Phox homology (PX) domain and five Src homology 3 (SH3) domains, as well as multiple motifs for binding both SH2 and SH3 domain-containing proteins. We have determined that the PX domain of Fish binds 3-phosphorylated phosphatidylinositols (including phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate). Consistent with this, a fusion protein of green fluorescent protein and the Fish PX domain localized to punctate structures similar to endosomes in normal fibroblasts. However, the full-length Fish protein was largely cytoplasmic, suggesting that its PX domain may not be able to make intermolecular interactions in unstimulated cells. In Src-transformed cells, we observed a dramatic re-localization of some Fish molecules to actin-rich structures called podosomes; the PX domain was both necessary and sufficient to effect this translocation. We used a phage display screen with the fifth SH3 domain of Fish and isolated ADAM19 as a binding partner. Subsequent analyses in mammalian cells demonstrated that Fish interacts with several members of the ADAMs family, including ADAMs 12, 15, and 19. In Src-transformed cells, ADAM12 co-localized with Fish in podosomes. Because members of the ADAMs family have been implicated in growth factor processing, as well as cell adhesion and motility, Fish could be acting as an adaptor molecule that allows Src to impinge on these processes.
