Abstract
Cluster of differentiation (CD155), formerly identified as poliovirus receptor (PVR) and later as immunoglobulin molecule involved in cell adhesion, proliferation, invasion and migration. It is a surface protein expressed mostly on normal and transformed malignant cells. The expression of the receptor varies based on the origin of tissue. The expression of the protein is determined by factors involved in sonic hedgehog pathway, Ras-MEK-ERK pathway and during stress conditions like DNA damage response. The protein uses alternate splicing mechanism, producing four isoforms - two being soluble (CD155β and CD155γ) and two being transmembrane protein (CD155α and CD155δ). Apart from being a viral receptor, researchers have identified CD155 having important roles in cancer research and cell signaling field. The receptor is recognized as biomarker for identifying cancerous tissue. The receptor interacts with molecules involved in cells defense mechanism. The immune-surveillance role of CD155 is being deciphered to understand the mechanistic approach it utilizes as onco-immunologic molecule. CD155 is a non-MHC-I ligand which helps in identifying non-self to NK cells via an inhibitory TIGIT ligand. The TIGIT-CD155 pathway is a novel MHC-I-independent education mechanism for cell tolerance and activation of NK cell. The receptor also has a role in metastasis of cancer and trans endothelial mechanism. In this review, authors discuss the virus-host interaction that occurs via single transmembrane receptor, the poliovirus infection pathway, which is being exploited as therapeutic pathway. The oncolytic virotherapy is now promising way for curing cancer.

Abstract
Over the past 10 years, the interest in intranasal drug delivery in pharmaceutical R&D has increased. This review article summarises information on intranasal administration for local and systemic delivery, as well as for CNS indications. Nasal delivery offers many advantages over standard systemic delivery systems, such as its non-invasive character, a fast onset of action and in many cases reduced side effects due to a more targeted delivery. There are still formulation limitations and toxicological aspects to be optimised. Intranasal drug delivery in the field of drug development is an interesting delivery route for the treatment of neurological disorders. Systemic approaches often fail to efficiently supply the CNS with drugs. This review paper describes the anatomical, histological and physiological basis and summarises currently approved drugs for administration via intranasal delivery. Further, the review focuses on toxicological considerations of intranasally applied compounds and discusses formulation aspects that need to be considered for drug development.

Abstract
After eradication and containment of wild poliovirus (PV) and cessation of oral polio vaccinations, it is critical to minimize the risk of reintroducing PV into PV-free communities via facilities that handle the virus. The potential risk of unintentional PV propagation through unidentified contaminated materials is a serious issue. This study reports the generation of HeLa and RD-A cells deficient in functional CD155 gene (∆PVR cells); these cells are not susceptible to PV but remain susceptible to other picornaviruses. These ∆PVR cells will minimize the risk of unintentional transmission of PV and support performing the experiments more safely.

Abstract
CD58 is an adhesion molecule that is known to play a critical role in costimulation of effector cells and is intrinsic to immune synapse structure. Herein, we describe a virally encoded gene that inhibits CD58 surface expression. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL148 was necessary and sufficient to promote intracellular retention of CD58 during HCMV infection. Blocking studies with antagonistic anti-CD58 mAb and an HCMV UL148 deletion mutant (HCMV∆UL148) with restored CD58 expression demonstrated that the CD2/CD58 axis was essential for the recognition of HCMV-infected targets by CD8+ HCMV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Further, challenge of peripheral blood mononuclear cells ex vivo with HCMV∆UL148 increased both CTL and natural killer (NK) cell degranulation against HCMV-infected cells, including NK-driven antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, showing that UL148 is a modulator of the function of multiple effector cell subsets. Our data stress the effect of HCMV immune evasion functions on shaping the immune response, highlighting the capacity for their potential use in modulating immunity during the development of anti-HCMV vaccines and HCMV-based vaccine vectors.

Abstract
Amino acid changes in the C'C"D region in poliovirus receptor domain 1 disrupt poliovirus binding. To examine further the role of the C'C"D region in poliovirus infection, we substituted this region of Pvr into the corresponding region of a murine homolog, nectin-2. The chimeric receptor, nectin-2Pvr(c'c"d), rendered transformed L cells susceptible to infection with poliovirus P1/Mahoney, but not with polioviruses P2/Lansing and P3/Leon, due to lack of binding. Twenty-four variants of P2/Lansing were selected that replicate in nectin-2Pvr(c'c"d) producing cell lines. Sequence analysis revealed 30 amino acid changes at 28 capsid residues. One change, K1103R, is found in nearly all isolates and is located at one end of the VP1 BC loop. Other alterations are located on the canyon surface, at the protomer interface, and along the perimeter of the canyon south wall. Unlike poliovirus-Pvr binding, the VP1 BC loop is required for infection of cells producing nectin-2Pvr(c'c"d).

Abstract
Transgenic mice (tg mice) that express the human poliovirus receptor (PVR), CD155, are susceptible to poliovirus and develop a neurological disease that resembles human poliomyelitis. Assessment of the neurovirulence levels of poliovirus strains, including mutant viruses produced by reverse genetics, circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus, and vaccine candidates, is useful for basic research of poliovirus pathogenicity, the surveillance of circulating polioviruses, and the quality control of oral live poliovirus vaccines, and does not require the use of monkeys. Furthermore, PVR-tg mice are useful for studying poliovirus tissue tropism and host immune responses. PVR-tg mice can be bred with mice deficient in the genes involved in viral pathogenicity. This report describes the methods used to analyze the pathogenicity and immune responses of poliovirus using the PVR-tg mouse model.

Abstract
As a possible route for invasion of the CNS, circulating poliovirus (PV) in the blood is believed to traverse the blood-brain barrier (BBB), resulting in paralytic poliomyelitis. However, the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrated that mouse transferrin receptor 1 (mTfR1) is responsible for PV attachment to the cell surface, allowing invasion into the CNS via the BBB. PV interacts with the apical domain of mTfR1 on mouse brain capillary endothelial cells (MBEC4) in a dose-dependent manner via its capsid protein (VP1). We found that F-G, G-H, and H-I loops in VP1 are important for this binding. However, C-D, D-E, and E-F loops in VP1-fused Venus proteins efficiently penetrate MBEC4 cells. These results imply that the VP1 functional domain responsible for cell attachment is different from that involved in viral permeation of the brain capillary endothelium. We observed that co-treatment of MBEC4 cells with excess PV particles but not dextran resulted in blockage of transferrin transport into cells. Using the Transwell in vitro BBB model, transferrin co-treatment inhibited permeation of PV into MBEC4 cells and delayed further viral permeation via mTfR1 knockdown. With mTfR1 as a positive mediator of PV-host cell attachment and PV permeation of MBEC4 cells, our results indicate a novel role of TfR1 as a cellular receptor for human PV receptor/CD155-independent PV invasion of the CNS.

Abstract
We previously identified human scavenger receptor class B, member 2 (SCARB2), as a cellular receptor for enterovirus 71 (EV71). Expression of human SCARB2 (hSCARB2) permitted mouse L929 cells to efficiently bind to virions and to produce both viral proteins and progeny viruses upon EV71 infection. Mouse Scarb2 (mScarb2) exhibited 85.8% amino acid identity and 99.9% similarity to hSCARB2. The expression of mScarb2 in L929 cells conferred partial susceptibility. Very few virions bound to mScarb2-expressing cells. The viral titer in L929 cells expressing mScarb2 was approximately 40- to 100-fold lower than that in L929 cells expressing hSCARB2. Using hSCARB2-mScarb2 chimeric mutants, we attempted to map the region that was important for efficient EV71 infection. L929 cells expressing chimeras that carried amino acids 142 to 204 from the human sequence were susceptible to EV71, while chimeras that carried the mouse sequence in this region were not. Moreover, this region was also critical for binding to virions. The determination of this region in hSCARB2 that is important for EV71 binding and infection greatly contributes to the understanding of virus-receptor interactions. Further studies will clarify the early steps of EV71 infection.

Abstract
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL141 induces protection against natural killer cell-mediated cytolysis by downregulating cell surface expression of CD155 (nectin-like molecule 5; poliovirus receptor), a ligand for the activating receptor DNAM-1 (CD226). However, DNAM-1 is also recognized to bind a second ligand, CD112 (nectin-2). We now show that HCMV targets CD112 for proteasome-mediated degradation by 48 h post-infection, thus removing both activating ligands for DNAM-1 from the cell surface during productive infection. Significantly, cell surface expression of both CD112 and CD155 was restored when UL141 was deleted from the HCMV genome. While gpUL141 alone is sufficient to mediate retention of CD155 in the endoplasmic reticulum, UL141 requires assistance from additional HCMV-encoded functions to suppress expression of CD112.

Abstract
Poliovirus infections can be asymptomatic or cause severe paralysis. Why some individuals develop paralytic poliomyelitis is unknown, but a role for host genetic factors has been suggested. To investigate if a polymorphism, Ala67Thr, in the poliovirus receptor, which has been found to facilitate increased resistance against poliovirus-induced cell lysis and apoptosis, is associated with increased risk of paralytic poliomyelitis, poliovirus receptor genotyping was undertaken among Italian subjects with vaccine-associated (n = 9), or with wild-type paralytic poliomyelitis (n = 6), and control subjects (n = 71), using RFLP-PCR and pyrosequencing. Heterozygous poliovirus receptor Ala67Thr genotype was found in 13.3% of the patients with paresis and in 8.5% of the controls (Odds Ratio = 1.667). The frequency of Ala67Thr among the controls is in agreement with earlier published data. It is concluded that the Ala67Thr mutation in the poliovirus receptor is a possible risk factor for the development of vaccine-associated or paralytic poliomyelitis associated with wild-type virus.

Abstract
When poliovirus (PV) recognizes its receptor, CD155, the virus changes from a 160S to a 135S particle before releasing its genome into the cytoplasm. CD155 is a transmembrane protein with 3 Ig-like extracellular domains, D1-D3, where D1 is recognized by the virus. The crystal structure of D1D2 has been determined to 3.5-A resolution and fitted into approximately 8.5-A resolution cryoelectron microscopy reconstructions of the virus-receptor complexes for the 3 PV serotypes. These structures show that, compared with human rhinoviruses, the virus-receptor interactions for PVs have a greater dependence on hydrophobic interactions, as might be required for a virus that can inhabit environments of different pH. The pocket factor was shown to remain in the virus during the first recognition stage. The present structures, when combined with earlier mutational investigations, show that in the subsequent entry stage the receptor moves further into the canyon when at a physiological temperature, thereby expelling the pocket factor and separating the viral subunits to form 135S particles. These results provide a detailed analysis of how a nonenveloped virus can enter its host cell.

Abstract
In contrast to Old World monkeys, most New World monkeys (NWMs) are not susceptible to poliovirus (PV), regardless of the route of infection. We have investigated the molecular basis of restricted PV pathogenesis of NWMs with two kidney cell lines of NWMs, TMX (tamarin) and NZP-60 (marmoset), and characterized their PV receptor homologues. TMX cells were susceptible to infection by PV1 (Mahoney) and PV3 (Leon) but not by PV2 (Lansing). Binding studies to TMX cells indicated that the formation of PV/receptor complexes increased when measured first at 4 degrees C and then at 25 degrees C, whereas PV2 did not significantly bind to TMX cells at either temperature. On the other hand, NZP-60 cells were not susceptible to infection by any of the PV serotypes. However, a low amount of PV1 bound to NZP-60 cells at 4 degrees C, but there was no increase of binding at 25 degrees C. In contrast, both NWM cell lines supported genome replication and virion formation when transfected with viral RNAs of either serotype, an observation indicating that infection was blocked in receptor-virus interaction. To overcome the receptor block, we substituted 3 amino acids in the marmoset receptor (nCD155), H80Q, N85S, and P87S, found in the human PV receptor, hCD155. Cells expressing the mutant receptor (L-nCD155mt) were now susceptible to infection with PV1, which correlated with an increase in PV1-bound receptor complexes from 4 degrees C to 25 degrees C. L-nCD155mt cells were, however, still resistant to PV2 and PV3. These data show that an increase in the formation of PV/receptor complexes, when measured at 4 degrees C and at 25 degrees C, correlates with and is an indicator of successful infection at 37 degrees C, suggesting that the complex formed at 25 degrees C may be an intermediate in PV uptake.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cells are crucial in the control of cytomegalovirus infections in mice and humans. Here we show that the viral UL141 gene product has an immunomodulatory function that is associated with low-passage strains of human cytomegalovirus. UL141 mediated efficient protection of cells against killing by a wide range of human NK cell populations, including interferon-alpha-stimulated bulk cultures, polyclonal NK cell lines and most NK cell clones tested. Evasion of NK cell killing was mediated by UL141 blocking surface expression of CD155, which was previously identified as a ligand for NK cell-activating receptors CD226 (DNAM-1) and CD96 (TACTILE). The breadth of the UL141-mediated effect indicates that CD155 has a key role in regulating NK cell function.

Abstract
Poliovirus (PV) is the causal agent of paralytic poliomyelitis, an acute disease of the central nervous system (CNS) resulting in flaccid paralysis. The development of new animal and cell models has allowed the key steps of the pathogenesis of poliomyelitis to be investigated at the molecular level. In particular, it has been shown that PV-induced apoptosis is an important component of the tissue injury in the CNS of infected mice, which leads to paralysis. In this review the molecular biology of PV and the pathogenesis of poliomyelitis are briefly described, and then several models of PV-induced apoptosis are considered; the role of the cellular receptor of PV, CD155, in the modulation of apoptosis is also addressed.

Abstract
Poliovirus has been implicated in the etiology of sporadic motor neuron disease. DNA polymorphisms in the poliovirus receptor gene (PVR) are associated with persistent poliovirus infection in cell culture. PVR DNA polymorphisms were therefore studied in 110 cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, 30 cases of progressive muscular atrophy (a disorder of lower motor neurons) and 280 normal controls. In exon 2 of PVR the heterozygous Ala67Thr change was detected in 20.0% of progressive muscular atrophy, 11.8% of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and 6.8% of control subjects. The frequency of the polymorphism was significantly higher in patients with progressive muscular atrophy than in controls. Differences in the poliovirus receptor gene may result in slowly progressive viral cytopathic effects that lead to lower motor neuron forms of motor neuron disease.

Abstract
The herpes simplex virus type 1(JMP) [HSV-1(JMP)] mutant was selected for its ability to grow and form plaques in receptor-negative J cells. It enters J cells through a novel gD-dependent pathway, independent of all known HSV receptors, nectin1, nectin2, and HveA. Evidence that the pathway is dependent on a nectin3 binding site on HSV-1(JMP) and requires three mutations in gD rests on the following. We derived monoclonal antibodies to nectin3 and show that J cells express nectin3. HSV-1(JMP) entry and cell-to-cell spread were inhibited by soluble nectin3-Fc, demonstrating that virions carry a binding site for nectin3. The site is either directly involved in HSV-1(JMP) entry, or nectin3 binding to its site affects the gD domains involved in entry (entry site). HSV-1(JMP) entry and cell-to-cell spread in J cells were also inhibited by soluble nectin1-Fc, showing that the nectin1 binding site on gD(JMP) overlaps with the entry site or that nectin1 binding to gD affects the entry site. gD(JMP) carries three mutations, S140N, R340H, and Q344R. The latter two lie in the C tail and are present in the parental HSV-1(MP). HSV-1 strain R5000 carrying the S140N substitution was not infectious in J cells, indicating that this substitution was not sufficient. We constructed two recombinants, one carrying the three substitutions and the other carrying the two C-tail substitutions. Only the first recombinant infected J cells with an efficiency similar to that of HSV-1(JMP), indicating that the three mutations are required for the novel entry pathway. The results highlight plasticity in gD which accounts for changes in receptor usage.

Abstract
Transgenic mice bearing the human poliovirus receptor (TgPVR) are less susceptible to oral inoculation, although they are susceptible to parenteral inoculation. We investigated the susceptibility of TgPVR 21 line [Arch. Virol. 130 (1994) 351] to poliovirus through various mucosal routes. Intranasal inoculation of a neurovirulent Mahoney strain (OM1) caused flaccid paralysis with viral replication in the central nervous system at a dose of 10(6) cell culture infectious dose (CCID50), in contrast, no paralysis following oral or intragastric inoculation of the same dose. Intranasal inoculation of a vaccine strain, Sabin 1, at 10(6) CCID50, resulted in no paralysis. Initial replication of poliovirus in the nasal cavity was confirmed by virus isolation and detection of negative-stranded replicative intermediates by RT-PCR and viral antigens using a high-sensitive immunohistochemistry and genome/transcripts by in situ hybridization. Poliovirus-specific IgG antibodies were elevated in the sera of surviving TgPVR21. This model can be used as a mucosal infection model and for differentiation of neurovirulent and attenuated poliovirus strains.

Abstract
Nectins present a novel class of Ig superfamily adhesion molecules that, cooperatively with cadherins, establish and maintain cell-cell adherens junctions. CD155, the cognate receptor for poliovirus, undergoes cell-matrix contacts by binding to the extracellular matrix protein vitronectin. The significant homology of nectins with CD155 prompted us to investigate the possibility of their interaction. We determined that nectin-3 binds CD155 and its putative mouse homologue Tage4 in cell-based ligand binding assays. Coculture of nectin-3- and CD155-expressing HeLa cells led to CD155-dependent recruitment of nectin-3 to cell-cell contacts. In a heterologous coculture system with CD155 expressing mouse neuroblastoma cells, HeLa cell-expressed nectin-3 was recruited to contact sites with CD155 bearing neurites. CD155 and nectin-3 colocalized to epithelial cell-cell junctions in renal proximal tubules and in the amniotic membrane. Efficient interaction depended on CD155 dimerization, which appears to be aided by cell type-specific cofactors. We furthermore found CD155 to codistribute with alpha(v) integrin microdomains on the surface of transfected mouse fibroblasts and at amniotic epithelial cell junctions. Our findings demonstrate the possible trans-interaction between the bona fide cell-cell adherens type adhesion system (cadherin/nectin) and the cell-matrix adhesion system (integrin/CD155) by virtue of their nectin-3 and CD155 components, respectively.

Abstract
RA175, a new immunoglobulin superfamily member, is preferentially expressed during differentiation of P19 embryonic carcinoma (EC) cells induced by retinoic acid. In the present study, we isolated mouse RA175 cDNA in its entirety and showed that RA175 is the mouse ortholog of TSLC1, a tumor suppressor gene in human lung cancer. RA175/TSLC1 was localized in the adherent region of human lung squamous carcinoma cells and in the differentiated P19 EC cells. RA175/TSLC1 showed homophilic trans-interaction activity in a Ca(2+)-independent manner. RA175/TSLC1 was preferentially expressed in the polarized cells lining the lumen of developing mouse lung epithelium. This suggests that RA175/TSLC1 is a cell adhesion molecule that is acting as a tumor suppressor gene in the metastasis of lung tumors. RA175/TSLC1 may be necessary for cells to remain tightly associated in the epithelium, thereby suppressing metastasis.

Abstract
Nectin and afadin constitute a novel intercellular adhesion system that organizes adherens junctions in cooperation with the cadherin-catenin system in epithelial cells. Nectin is a Ca(2+)-independent immunoglobulin-like adhesion molecule and afadin is an actin filament (F-actin)-binding protein that connects nectin to the actin cytoskeleton. At the puncta adhaerentia junctions (PAs) between the mossy fiber terminals and the dendrites of the pyramidal cells in the CA3 area of the adult mouse hippocampus, the nectin-afadin system also colocalizes with the cadherin-catenin system and has a role in the formation of synapses. ZO-1 is another F-actin-binding protein that localizes at tight junctions (TJs) and connects claudin to the actin cytoskeleton in epithelial cells. The nectin-afadin system is able to recruit ZO-1 to the nectin-based cell-cell adhesion sites in nonepithelial cells that have no TJs. In the present study, we investigated the localization of ZO-1 in the mouse hippocampus. Immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy revealed that ZO-1 also localized at the PAs between the mossy fiber terminals and the dendrites of the pyramidal cells in the CA3 area of the adult mouse hippocampus, as described for afadin. ZO-1 colocalized with afadin during the development of synaptic junctions and PAs. Microbeads coated with the extracellular fragment of nectin, which interacts with cellular nectin, recruited both afadin and ZO-1 to the bead-cell contact sites in cultured rat hippocampal neurons. These results indicate that ZO-1 colocalizes with nectin and afadin at the PAs and that the nectin-afadin system is involved in the localization of ZO-1.

Abstract
IQGAP1, a putative downstream target of the Rho family small G proteins, Cdc42 and Rac, localizes at adherens junctions (AJs) in epithelial cells. It has been suggested that IQGAP1 localizes at AJs through its binding to beta-catenin, and negatively regulates the E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion. Nectin is a Ca(2+)-independent, immunoglobulin-like cell-cell adhesion molecule that localizes at AJs. Nectin is associated with E-cadherin through their respective cytoplasmic tail-binding proteins, afadin and catenins, and involved in the formation of AJs cooperatively with E-cadherin. Here we investigated a role of nectin in the localization of IQGAP1 at AJs. Ca(2+) chelation from the medium causes disruption of the E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion, but not the nectin-based cell-cell adhesion, in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. IQGAP1 remained at the residual nectin-based cell-cell adhesion sites where the E-cadherin immunofluorescence signal disappeared. Restoration of Ca(2+) in the medium causes re-accumulation of E-cadherin to the residual nectin-based cell-cell adhesion sites to re-form AJs. Nectin inhibitors inhibit this re-accumulation of E-cadherin to re-form AJs by impairing the nectin-based cell-cell adhesion. The nectin inhibitors also reduced the localization of IQGAP1 at the cell-cell adhesion sites. When MDCK cells were incubated with microbeads coated with the extracellular fragment of nectin that interacts with cellular nectin, IQGAP1 also accumulated at the bead-MDCK cell contact sites. The accumulation of IQGAP1 at the cell-cell adhesion sites was inhibited by actin filament-disrupting agents, latrunculin A and cytochalasin D. These results indicate that nectin is involved in the localization of IQGAP1 at AJs through the actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A novel cell-cell adhesion system that consists of nectin and afadin has been identified at cadherin-based cell-cell adherens junctions. Nectin is a Ca2+-independent homophilic and heterophilic cell adhesion molecule that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. Nectin has recently been shown to serve as an alpha-herpesvirus entry and cell-cell spread mediator. In spite of the ubiquitous expression of nectin-1alpha, its detailed localization in human skin has not been examined so far. OBJECTIVES To investigate the localization of nectin-1alpha in normal human skin and the alteration of its expression in malignant skin tumours. METHODS Immunohistochemistry was employed to determine the expression of nectin-1alpha and other adhesion molecules. RESULTS We detected nectin-1alpha in normal human epidermis, follicles and eccrine ducts. Nectin-1alpha was colocalized with E-cadherin at cell-cell adherens junctions of the epidermis. The concentration of the nectin-afadin system at cell-cell adherens junctions was reduced in the early stage of malignant transformation of keratinocytes, such as in basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas, where the cadherin-catenin system was preserved. Nectin-1alpha at cell-cell adherens junctions was reduced in human epithelial cancer cells located at the advancing border of the tumour. CONCLUSIONS Our results showed that nectin-1alpha is located at cell-cell adherens junctions in human skin and that reduction of nectin-1alpha at cell-cell adherens junctions may be involved in the invasion of squamous cell tumours.

Abstract
E-cadherin is a Ca(2+)-dependent cell-cell adhesion molecule at adherens junctions (AJs) of epithelial cells. A fragment of N-cadherin lacking its extracellular region serves as a dominant negative mutant (DN) and inhibits cell-cell adhesion activity of E-cadherin, but its mode of action remains to be elucidated. Nectin is a Ca(2+)-independent immunoglobulin-like cell-cell adhesion molecule at AJs and is associated with E-cadherin through their respective peripheral membrane proteins, afadin and catenins, which connect nectin and cadherin to the actin cytoskeleton, respectively. We showed here that overexpression of nectin capable of binding afadin, but not a mutant incapable of binding afadin, reduced the inhibitory effect of N-cadherin DN on the cell-cell adhesion activity of E-cadherin in keratinocytes. Overexpressed nectin recruited N-cadherin DN to the nectin-based cell-cell adhesion sites in an afadin-dependent manner. Moreover, overexpression of nectin enhanced the E-cadherin-based cell-cell adhesion activity. These results suggest that N-cadherin DN competitively inhibits the association of the endogenous nectin-afadin system with the endogenous E-cadherin-catenin system and thereby reduces the cell-cell adhesion activity of E-cadherin. Thus, nectin plays a role in the formation of E-cadherin-based AJs in keratinocytes.

Abstract
Afadin is an actin filament (F-actin)-binding protein that is associated with the cytoplasmic tail of nectin, a Ca(2+)-independent immunoglobulin-like cell-cell adhesion molecule. Nectin and afadin strictly localize at cell-cell adherens junctions (AJs) undercoated with F-actin bundles and are involved in the formation of AJs in cooperation with E-cadherin in epithelial cells. In epithelial cells of afadin (-/-) mice and (-/-) embryoid bodies, the proper organization of AJs is markedly impaired. However, the molecular mechanism of how the nectin-afadin system is associated with the E-cadherin-catenin system or functions in the formation of AJs has not yet been fully understood. Here we identified a novel afadin-binding protein, named ADIP (afadin DIL domain-interacting protein). ADIP consists of 615 amino acids with a calculated M(r) of 70,954 and has three coiled-coil domains. Northern and Western blot analyses in mouse tissues indicated that ADIP was widely distributed. Immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy revealed that ADIP strictly localized at cell-cell AJs undercoated with F-actin bundles in small intestine absorptive epithelial cells. This localization pattern was the same as those of afadin and nectin. ADIP was undetectable at cell-matrix AJs. ADIP furthermore bound alpha-actinin, an F-actin-bundling protein known to be indirectly associated with E-cadherin through its direct binding to alpha-catenin. These results indicate that ADIP is an afadin- and alpha-actinin-binding protein that localizes at cell-cell AJs and may have two functions. ADIP may connect the nectin-afadin and E-cadherin-catenin systems through alpha-actinin, and ADIP may be involved in organization of the actin cytoskeleton at AJs through afadin and alpha-actinin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nectin is a Ca2+-independent immunoglobulin-like cell-cell adhesion molecule at the E-cadherin-based cell-cell adherens junctions (AJs), and comprises a family consisting of four members, nectin-1, -2, -3, and -4. Nectin and E-cadherin are associated with afadin and alpha-catenin, actin filament (F-actin)-binding proteins connecting respective adhesion molecules to the actin cytoskeleton, but the role of nectin in the formation of the E-cadherin-based cell-cell AJs has not yet been fully understood. To obtain evidence for this role of nectin, we attempted to develop an antagonist and/or agonist of nectin. RESULTS We made a recombinant extracellular fragment of nectin-3 (Nef-3). Nef-3 trans-interacted with cellular nectin-1 and thereby diminished the formation of the nectin-1-based cell-cell adhesion. This resulted in a reduction of the formation of the E-cadherin-based cell-cell adhesion in L fibroblasts stably expressing both exogenous nectin-1alpha and E-cadherin (nectin-1-EL cells) and MDCK cells stably expressing exogenous nectin-1alpha (nectin-1-MDCK cells). This antagonistic effect of Nef-3 was also observed in L cells stably expressing exogenous E-cadherin alone (EL cells) and wild-type MDCK cells. Conversely, Nef-3 coated on microbeads first recruited the nectin-afadin complex and then the E-cadherin-catenin complex to the bead-cell contact sites in nectin-1-EL and nectin-1-MDCK cells. CONCLUSION These results suggest that nectin is necessary and sufficient for the recruitment of E-cadherin to the nectin-based cell-cell adhesion sites and involved in the formation of E-cadherin-based cell-cell AJs.

Abstract
Poliovirus (PV) can establish persistent infections in human neuroblastoma IMR-32 cells. We previously showed that during persistent infection, specific mutations were selected in the first extracellular domain of the PV receptor (CD155) of these cells (N. Pavio, T. Couderc, S. Girard, J. Y. Sgro, B. Blondel, and F. Colbère-Garapin, Virology 274:331-342, 2000). These mutations included the Ala 67 --> Thr substitution, corresponding to a previously described allelic form of the PV receptor. The mutated CD155(Thr67) and the nonmutated IMR-32 CD155 (CD155(IMR)) were expressed independently in murine LM cells lacking the CD155 gene. Following infection of the cells with PV, we analyzed the death of cells expressing these two forms of CD155. Levels of DNA fragmentation, caspase activity, and cytochrome c release were lower in LM-CD155(Thr67) cells than in LM-CD155(IMR) cells. Thus, the level of apoptosis was lower in cells expressing mutated CD155 selected during persistent PV infection in IMR-32 than in cells expressing the wild-type receptor.

Abstract
The cadherin superfamily plays key roles in intercellular adhesion. An emerging intercellular adhesion system, consisting of nectin and afadin, also has roles in organization of a variety of intercellular junctions either in cooperation with, or independently of, cadherin. Nectin is a Ca(2+)-independent immunoglobulin-like intercellular adhesion molecule, and afadin is a nectin- and actin-filament-binding protein that connects nectin to the actin cytoskeleton. This novel intercellular adhesion system has roles in the organization of E-cadherin-based adherens junctions and claudin-based tight junctions in epithelial cells. The adhesion system is furthermore involved in the formation of synapses in neurons and the organization of heterotypic junctions between Sertoli cells and spermatids in the testis.

Abstract
Junctional adhesion molecule (JAM) is a Ca2+-independent immunoglobulin-like cell-cell adhesion molecule which localizes at tight junctions (TJs). Claudin is a key cell-cell adhesion molecule that forms TJ strands at TJs. JAM is associated with claudin through their cytoplasmic tail-binding protein, ZO-1. JAM is furthermore associated with Par-3, a cell polarity protein which forms a ternary complex with Par-6 and atypical protein kinase C. Nectin is another Ca2+-independent immunoglobulin-like cell-cell adhesion molecule which localizes at adherens junctions (AJs). Nectin is associated with E-cadherin through their respective cytoplasmic tail-binding proteins, afadin and catenins, and involved in the formation of AJs cooperatively with E-cadherin. We show here that nectin is furthermore involved in the localization of JAM at TJs. During the formation of the junctional complex consisting of AJs and TJs in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, JAM was recruited to the nectin-based cell-cell adhesion sites. This recruitment of JAM was inhibited by nectin inhibitors, which inhibited the trans-interaction of nectin. Microbeads coated with the extracellular fragment of nectin, that interacted with cellular nectin, also recruited JAM to the bead-MDCK cell contact sites. Furthermore, when cadherin-deficient L fibroblasts stably expressing both exogenous JAM and nectin (nectin-JAM-L cells) were co-cultured with L fibroblasts expressing only nectin (nectin-L cells), JAM was concentrated at the cell-cell adhesion sites between nectin-JAM-L and nectin-L cells without the trans-interaction of JAM. Analyses of the localization and immunoprecipitation of JAM revealed that it was associated with nectin through afadin and ZO-1. These results suggest that nectin has a role in the localization of JAM at TJs in the process of the formation of the junctional complex in epithelial cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In polarized epithelial cells, cell-cell adhesion forms specialized membrane structures comprised of claudin-based tight junctions (TJs) and of E-cadherin-based adherens junctions (AJs). These structures are aligned from the apical to the basal side of the lateral membrane, but the mechanism of this organization remains unknown. Nectin is a Ca2+ independent immunoglobulin-like cell-cell adhesion molecule which localizes at AJs. Nectin is associated with E-cadherin through their respective cytoplasmic tail-binding proteins, afadin and catenins, and involved in the formation of AJs in cooperation with E-cadherin. We show here that nectin is also involved in the formation of TJs. RESULTS During the formation of the junctional complex consisting of AJs and TJs in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, claudin and occludin accumulated at the apical sites of the nectin-based cell-cell adhesion sites. This accumulation of claudin and occludin was inhibited by inhibitors acting on the trans interaction of nectin. The barrier function of TJs was also impaired by the nectin inhibitors. It has been shown that a phorbol ester promotes the formation of a TJ-like structure in an E-cadherin-independent manner. This phorbol ester-induced formation of the TJ-like structure was also inhibited by the nectin inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest a role of the nectin-afadin system in the organization of TJs as well as AJs in epithelial cells.

Abstract
Nectins form a family of integral molecules that belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily. Their ectodomain is made of three Ig-like domains (V, C, C). This family comprises at least five members, namely nectin1, -2, -3, -4, and poliovirus receptor (PVR), that are involved in different physiological and pathological processes. (i) Nectins are adhesion molecules localized at adherens junctions in epithelial cells. (ii) Some nectins act as poliovirus or alpha-herpesvirus receptors (nectin1). (iii) Nectin1 mutations are involved in orofacial developmental abnormalities in humans. Adhesion properties of nectins are mediated by Ca(2+)-independent homophilic and heterophilic processes through ectodomain trans-interactions. We have described a nectin trans-hetero-interaction network: nectin3 binds to nectin1, nectin2, and PVR; nectin1 also binds to nectin4. In the present study we compared the affinities of the different trans-interactions mediated by nectin1. We found that the K(D) of nectin1/nectin3 and nectin1/nectin4 interactions is 1 and 100 nm, respectively, whereas the K(D) of the nectin1-mediated homophilic interaction is 1 microm. We show that nectin1/nectin3 and nectin1/nectin4 trans-hetero-interactions were mediated through trans V to V domain interactions, whereas C domains contributed to increase the affinity of the interaction. Nectin3 and nectin4 share a common binding region in the nectin1 V domain: (i) nectin3 strongly competed with nectin4 binding, (ii) nectin3 and nectin4 binding to nectin1 was reduced by a number of monoclonal antibodies directed against the nectin1 V domain, and (iii) the glycoprotein D of herpes simplex virus-1 that binds to the V domain of nectin1 reduced nectin3 and nectin4 binding. Finally, using chimeric nectin1/PVR receptors where PVR V domain beta-strands were substituted with the corresponding regions of nectin1, the nectin3 and nectin4 minimal binding region on nectin1 V domain was mapped to the C-C'-C"-D beta-strands.

Abstract
Actin-based cell-cell adherens junctions (AJs) are crucial not only for mechanical adhesion but also for cell morphogenesis and differentiation. While organization of homotypic AJs is attributed mostly to classic cadherins, the adhesive mechanism of heterotypic AJs in more complex tissues remains to be clarified. Nectin, a member of a family of immunoglobulin-like adhesion molecules at various AJs, is a possible organizer of heterotypic AJs because of its unique heterophilic trans-interaction property. Recently, nectin-2 (-/-) mice have been shown to exhibit the defective sperm morphogenesis and the male-specific infertility, but the role of nectin in testicular AJs has not been investigated. We show here the heterotypic trans-interaction between nectin-2 in Sertoli cells and nectin-3 in spermatids at Sertoli-spermatid junctions (SspJs), heterotypic AJs in testes. Moreover, each nectin-based adhesive membrane domain exhibits one-to-one colocalization with each actin bundle underlying SspJs. Inactivation of the mouse nectin-2 gene causes not only impaired adhesion but also loss of the junctional actin scaffold at SspJs, resulting in aberrant morphogenesis and positioning of spermatids. Localization of afadin, an adaptor protein of nectin with the actin cytoskeleton, is also nectin-2 dependent at SspJs. These results indicate that the nectin-afadin system plays essential roles in coupling cell-cell adhesion and the cortical actin scaffold at SspJs and in subsequent sperm morphogenesis.

Abstract
Nectin is an immunoglobulin-like adhesion molecule that comprises a family consisting of four members, nectin-1, -2, -3, and -4. Nectin is associated with the actin cytoskeleton through afadin, a nectin- and actin filament-binding protein. The nectin-afadin and cadherin-catenin systems are associated with each other and cooperatively form cell-cell adherens junctions in intact epithelial cells. HSC-39 cells, a human signet ring cell gastric cancer cell line, express E-cadherin but do not form cell-cell adhesion. The beta-catenin gene has been shown to be truncated at the N-terminal region including the alpha-catenin-binding domain in HSC-39 cells, but overexpression of normal beta-catenin failed to form cell-cell adhesion. HSC-39 cells expressed nectin-1, -2, and afadin, but not nectin-3. Overexpression of nectin-3 or -2 formed cell-cell adhesion and accumulation of E-cadherin, but not actin filaments, at the cell-cell adhesion sites. Overexpression of a truncated form of nectin-2 incapable of interacting with afadin failed to form cell-cell adhesion. However, the nectin-formed cell-cell adhesion was not so strong as that observed in epithelial cells, such as CaCo-2 cells. Co-expression of nectin-2 and normal beta-catenin did not form strong cell-cell adhesion. These results suggest that an unidentified mechanism, by which nectin and E-cadherin form the actin cytoskeleton-associated adherens junctions to form strong cell-cell adhesion, is impaired in HSC-39 cells.

Abstract
In order to determine the influence of poliovirus receptor (PVR) expression on poliovirus cell tropism and neuropathogenesis, two transgenic (tg) mouse models were produced in which PVR was expressed under the transcriptional control of the human PVR gene promoter (hg-PVR mice) and the CAG promoter (CAG-PVR mice). Then the pathogenicity of poliovirus after intracerebral inoculation of the type 1 Mahoney strain was compared. These showed completely different clinical and pathological changes. In the former, the expression of PVR in neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) conferred susceptibility to poliovirus, and a paralytic disease that resembled the human poliomyelitis occurred. In the latter, PVR expression was detected in glial and ependymal cells in addition to the neurons. Paralysis of the limbs and death were rarely observed and mice survived without showing substantial clinical abnormality. Histopathological examination revealed that glial and ependymal cells also became susceptible to poliovirus infection. Poliovirus antigens were mainly detected in ependymal and glial cells and hippocampal neurons near the lateral ventricles in the brain, but were not frequently detected in neurons in the brainstem unlike in the hg-PVR mice. The levels of viral antigens and virus recovered from the CNS of CAG-PVR mice began to decrease as early as 2 days after inoculation, which suggested induction of a fast immune response. These results suggest that the neuropathogenicity of poliovirus changes markedly depending on the specific expression of the PVR molecule in the CNS.

Abstract
Nectin is a Ca(2+)-independent immunoglobulin (Ig)-like cell-cell adhesion molecule that forms cell-cell adherens junctions cooperatively with E-cadherin in a variety of cells. Nectin has one transmembrane segment and three Ig-like loops in the extracellular region. The first Ig-like loop is essential for the trans-dimer formation of nectin of two neighboring cells, causing cell-cell adhesion. We show here that the second Ig-like loop is essential for the cis-dimer formation of nectin on the same cell, and that the cis-dimer formation is essential for the trans-dimer formation.

Abstract
In C. elegans, lin-7 as well as lin-2/lin-10 is involved in the proper localization of the LET-23 receptor tyrosine kinase that regulates vulval induction. The mammalian homologue, mLin-7, forms a ternary complex with the mammalian homologues of LIN-2 and LIN-10 and localizes at cell-cell junctions in epithelial cells, but the mechanism of this localization of mLin-7 is unknown. Nectin is an immunoglobulin-like cell-cell adhesion molecule that is involved in organization of adherens and tight junctions in epithelial cells. Nectin is indirectly associated with the cadherin-catenin system and the actin cytoskeleton through afadin, an actin filament-binding protein. We showed here that mLin-7 localized at the nectin-based cell-cell junctions. This localization of mLin-7 required the interaction of nectin with afadin, but not the cadherin-catenin system or the actin cytoskeleton. mLin-7 did not directly interact with nectin or afadin. The results indicate that mLin-7 localizes at cell-cell junctions through the nectin-afadin system.

Abstract
Structural studies of polio- and closely related viruses have provided a series of snapshots along their cell entry pathways. Based on the structures and related kinetic, biochemical, and genetic studies, we have proposed a model for the cell entry pathway for polio- and closely related viruses. In this model a maturation cleavage of a capsid protein precursor locks the virus in a metastable state, and the receptor acts like a transition-state catalyst to overcome an energy barrier and release the mature virion from the metastable state. This initiates a series of conformational changes that allow the virus to attach to membranes, form a pore, and finally release its RNA genome into the cytoplasm. This model has striking parallels with emerging models for the maturation and cell entry of more complex enveloped viruses such as influenza virus and HIV.

Abstract
Poliovirus receptor (hPVR/CD155) is a cell surface glycoprotein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily but its natural function remains unknown. Two membrane-bound isoforms, hPVRalpha and hPVRdelta, are known to date, and they differ only in the amino acid sequence of their cytoplasmic domains. To gain an insight into the possible function of the cytoplasmic domains, we examined the localization of introduced hPVRalpha and hPVRdelta in polarized epithelial cells deficient of native hPVRs. Basolateral sorting of hPVRalpha was observed in Madine-Darby canine kidney cells expressing mu1B, but not in LLC-PK1 porcine kidney cells deficient in mu1B. Distribution of hPVRdelta, however, occurred both on the apical and basolateral plasma membranes of these two cell lines. Basolateral sorting of hPVRalpha was also seen in LLC-PK1 cells that expressed an intact exogenous mu1B, but not in the cells that expressed a mutant mu1B lacking binding ability to tyrosine-containing signals. These results indicate that mu1B is involved in the distribution of hPVRalpha to the basolateral membrane. Comparative distribution analysis of hPVRalpha using a series of mutants with truncations and substitutions in the cytoplasmic tail demonstrated that determinant for the basolateral sorting resided in the tyrosine-containing motif of the cytoplasmic tail. Furthermore, yeast two hybrid analysis strongly suggested that the tyrosine motif directly interacted with mu1B protein. Thus, basolateral sorting of hPVRalpha appears to involve the interaction with mu1B through a tyrosine motif existing in the cytoplasmic domain.

Abstract
Human nectin1 (hNectin1), an adhesion molecule belonging to the nectin family of the immunoglobulin superfamily, mediates entry of herpes simplex virus (HSV) into cells. The hNectin1 domain that mediates virus entry into cells and also binds glycoprotein D (gD) has been localized to the first N-terminal V-type domain. The poliovirus receptor (PVR) is a structural homolog to nectins, but it cannot function as an HSV entry receptor. hNectin1-PVR chimeras were constructed to functionally locate the site on hNectin1 involved in HSV entry (HSV entry site). The epitope recognized by monoclonal antibody (MAb) R1.302, which is able to block HSV entry, was also located. The chimeric receptors were designed to preserve the overall structure of the V domain. The HSV entry activity mapped entirely to the hNectin1 portion located between residues 64 and 94 (64-94), likely to encode the C, C', and C" beta-strands and intervening loops. In turn, this site consisted of two portions: one with low-level basal activity for HSV entry (77-94), and one immediately upstream (residues 64 to 76) which greatly enhanced the HSV entry activity of the downstream region. The gD-binding site mapped substantially to the same site, whereas the MAb R1.302 epitope also required a further downstream portion (95-102). The involvement of the 64-76 portion is at difference with previous indirect mapping results that were based on competitive binding studies (C. Krummenacher et al., J. Virol. 74:10863-10872, 2000). The A, A', B, D, E, F, and G beta-strands and intervening loops did not appear to play any role in HSV entry. According to the predicted three-dimensional structure of PVR, the C C' C" site is located peripherally in the V domain and very likely represents an accessible portion at the cell surface.

Abstract
The human receptor for poliovirus (CD155) is an immunoglobulin-like molecule with unknown normal function(s). Here we provide evidence that CD155 binds specifically to vitronectin with a dissociation constant (K(d)) of 72 nM as determined by surface plasmon resonance. Based on sequence homology to the CD155 gene, three poliovirus receptor-related genes (PRR1, PRR2, and PRR3) were cloned recently. PRR proteins were reported by others to mediate homophilic cell adhesion. Neither PRR1 nor PRR2 binds poliovirus and it is assumed that their physiological functions differ from that of CD155. Indeed, mPRR2 was found to bind to vitronectin only weakly, while its self-adhesion activity is characterized by a K(d) of 310 nM. Moreover, there is no evidence for CD155 self-adhesion. Both CD155 and vitronectin colocalize to follicular dendritic cells and B cells inside the germinal centers of secondary lymphoid tissue (tonsils)-an observation suggesting that the CD155/vitronectin interaction is required for the establishment of a proper immune response in this particular context.

Abstract
ZO-1 is an actin filament (F-actin)-binding protein that localizes to tight junctions and connects claudin to the actin cytoskeleton in epithelial cells. In nonepithelial cells that have no tight junctions, ZO-1 localizes to adherens junctions (AJs) and may connect cadherin to the actin cytoskeleton indirectly through beta- and alpha-catenins as one of many F-actin-binding proteins. Nectin is an immunoglobulin-like adhesion molecule that localizes to AJs and is associated with the actin cytoskeleton through afadin, an F-actin-binding protein. Ponsin is an afadin- and vinculin-binding protein that also localizes to AJs. The nectin-afadin complex has a potency to recruit the E-cadherin-beta-catenin complex through alpha-catenin in a manner independent of ponsin. By the use of cadherin-deficient L cell lines stably expressing various components of the cadherin-catenin and nectin-afadin systems, and alpha-catenin-deficient F9 cell lines, we examined here whether nectin recruits ZO-1 to nectin-based cell-cell adhesion sites. Nectin showed a potency to recruit not only alpha-catenin but also ZO-1 to nectin-based cell-cell adhesion sites. This recruitment of ZO-1 was dependent on afadin but independent of alpha-catenin and ponsin. These results indicate that ZO-1 localizes to cadherin-based AJs through interactions not only with alpha-catenin but also with the nectin-afadin system.

Abstract
The human herpesvirus entry mediator C (HveC), also known as the poliovirus receptor-related protein 1 (PRR1) and as nectin-1, allows the entry of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and HSV-2 into mammalian cells. The interaction of virus envelope glycoprotein D (gD) with such a receptor is an essential step in the process leading to membrane fusion. HveC is a member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily and contains three Ig-like domains in its extracellular portion. The gD binding site is located within the first Ig-like domain (V domain) of HveC. We generated a panel of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the ectodomain of HveC. Eleven of these, which detect linear or conformational epitopes within the V domain, were used to map a gD binding site. They allowed the detection of HveC by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blotting, and biosensor analysis or directly on the surface of HeLa cells and human neuroblastoma cell lines, as well as simian Vero cells. The anti-HveC V-domain MAbs CK6, CK8, and CK41, as well as the previously described MAb R1.302, blocked HSV entry. Their binding to soluble HveC was blocked by the association of gD with the receptor, indicating that their epitopes overlap a gD binding site. Competition assays on an optical biosensor showed that CK6 and CK8 (linear epitopes) inhibited the binding of CK41 and R1.302 (conformational epitopes) to HveC and vice versa. Epitope mapping showed that CK6 and CK8 bound between residues 80 and 104 of HveC, suggesting that part of the gD binding site colocalizes in the same region.

Abstract
We have isolated nectin3/PRR3, the fourth human member of the nectin/PRR family, also described as the alpha herpes virus receptor family. Nectin/PRR members are adhesion molecules expressed at intercellular junctions. Nectin3/PRR3 is a transmembrane protein, whose extracellular region contains three Ig-like domains (V, C and C) and shares approximately 30% identity with the other members. It is mainly expressed in testis and placental tissues. SDS-PAGE analyses demonstrate that nectin3/PRR3 has a molecular weight of 83kDa. Nectin1/PRR1L and nectin2/PRR2S and L were found to be specifically expressed at the intercellular junctions. This localization is in part due to the interaction of the C-terminal part of these receptors (ended by the consensus sequence A/EXYV) and the PDZ domain of afadin. In this report we demonstrate that the nectin3/PRR3 receptor carries the A/EXYV consensus sequence and interacts in vivo with both long and short isoforms of afadin. These results suggest that the human nectin3/PRR3 is a new afadin-associated molecule.

Abstract
We have found a new cell-cell adhesion system at cadherin-based cell-cell adherens junctions (AJs) consisting of at least nectin and l-afadin. Nectin is a Ca(2+)-independent homophilic immunoglobulin-like adhesion molecule, and l-afadin is an actin filament-binding protein that connects the cytoplasmic region of nectin to the actin cytoskeleton. Both the trans-interaction of nectin and the interaction of nectin with l-afadin are necessary for their colocalization with E-cadherin and catenins at AJs. Here, we examined the mechanism of interaction between these two cell-cell adhesion systems at AJs by the use of alpha-catenin-deficient F9 cell lines and cadherin-deficient L cell lines stably expressing their various components. We showed here that nectin and E-cadherin were colocalized through l-afadin and the COOH-terminal half of alpha-catenin at AJs. Nectin trans-interacted independently of E-cadherin, and the complex of E-cadherin and alpha- and beta-catenins was recruited to nectin-based cell-cell adhesion sites through l-afadin without the trans-interaction of E-cadherin. Our results indicate that nectin and cadherin interact through their cytoplasmic domain-associated proteins and suggest that these two cell-cell adhesion systems cooperatively organize cell-cell AJs.

Abstract
An extended array of cell surface molecules serve as receptors for HSV entry into cells. In addition to the heparan sulphate glycosaminoglycans, which mediate the attachment of virion to cells, HSV requires an entry receptor. The repertoire of entry receptors into human cells includes molecules from three structurally unrelated molecular families. They are (i) HveA (herpesvirus entry mediator A), (ii) members of the nectin family, (iii) 3-O-sulphated heparan sulphate. The molecules have different attributes and play potentially different roles in HSV infection and spread to human tissues. All the human entry receptors interact physically with the virion envelope glycoprotein D (gD). (i) HveA is a member of the TNF-receptor family. It mediates entry of a restricted range of HSV strains. Its expression is restricted to few lineages (e.g. T-lymphocytes). (ii) The human nectin1alpha (HIgR), nectin1delta (PRR1-HveC), and the nectin2alpha (PRR2alpha-HveB) and nectin2delta (PRR2delta) belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily. They are homologues of the poliovirus receptor (CD155), with which they share the overall structure of the ectodomain. The human nectin1alpha-delta are broadly expressed in cell lines of different lineages, are expressed in human tissue targets of HSV infection, serve as receptors for all HSV-1 and HSV-2 strains tested and mediate entry not only of free virions, but also cell-to-cell spread of virus. (iii) The 3-O-sulphated heparan sulphate is expressed in some selected human cell lines (e.g. endothelial and mast cells) and human tissues, and mediates entry of HSV-1, but not HSV-2. The human nectin2alpha and nectin2delta serve as receptors for a narrow range of viruses. A characteristic of the human nectin1alpha-delta is the promiscuous species non-specific receptor activity towards the animal alphaherpesviruses, pseudorabies virus (PrV) and bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1). By contrast with the human nectin1delta, its murine homologue (mNectin1delta) does not bind gD at detectable level, yet it mediates entry of HSV, as well as of PrV and BHV-1. This provides the first example of a mediator of HSV entry independent of a detectable interaction with gD.

Abstract
We have previously reported that Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), which is virulent for cattle and swine, can utilize the integrin alpha(v)beta(3) as a receptor on cultured cells. Since those studies were performed with the human integrin, we have molecularly cloned the bovine homolog of the integrin alpha(v)beta(3) and have compared the two receptors for utilization by FMDV. Both the alpha(v) and beta(3) subunits of the bovine integrin have high degrees of amino acid sequence similarity to their corresponding human subunits in the ectodomains (96%) and essentially identical transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. Within the putative ligand-binding domains, the bovine and human alpha(v) subunits have a 98.8% amino acid sequence similarity while there is only a 93% similarity between the beta(3) subunits of these two species. COS cell cultures, which are not susceptible to FMDV infection, become susceptible if cotransfected with alpha(v) and beta(3) subunit cDNAs from a bovine or human source. Cultures cotransfected with the bovine alpha(v)beta(3) subunit cDNAs and infected with FMDV synthesize greater amounts of viral proteins than do infected cultures cotransfected with the human integrin subunits. Cells cotransfected with a bovine alpha(v) subunit and a human beta(3) subunit synthesize viral proteins at levels equivalent to those in cells expressing both human subunits. However, cells cotransfected with the human alpha(v) and the bovine beta(3) subunits synthesize amounts of viral proteins equivalent to those in cells expressing both bovine subunits, indicating that the bovine beta(3) subunit is responsible for the increased effectiveness of this receptor. By engineering chimeric bovine-human beta(3) subunits, we have shown that this increase in receptor efficiency is due to sequences encoding the C-terminal one-third of the subunit ectodomain, which contains a highly structured cysteine-rich repeat region. We postulate that amino acid sequence differences within this region may be responsible for structural differences between the human and bovine beta(3) subunit, leading to more efficient utilization of the bovine receptor by this bovine pathogen.

Abstract
The ability of a virus to attach to a susceptible host cell is of utmost importance for the initiation of viral life cycle. Cell surface proteins called viral receptors mediate the initial steps of virus attachment and uptake. Poliovirus (PV) is one of the most studied animal viruses and its interaction with its cellular receptor, the human poliovirus receptor (hPVR) has been well characterized. This review will present our current understanding of the PV/hPVR interaction at the genetic and biochemical level. In addition, we will also discuss the implications of the PV/hPVR interaction on PV tissue tropism and the evolution of the three PV serotypes.

Abstract
The full-length cDNA of the murine homolog of human nectin1delta (mNectin1delta), also known as human poliovirus receptor related 1 (PRR1) or herpesvirus entry mediator C, was cloned and showed a >90% identity with its human counterpart. mNectin1delta is expressed in some murine cell lines, exemplified by NIH 3T3 and L cells, and in murine tissues. It mediates entry of an extended range of herpes simplex virus (HSV) strains, porcine pseudorabies virus (PrV), and bovine herpesvirus 1. A soluble form of the mediator blocked infectivity in mNectin1delta and human nectin1delta (hNectin1delta)-expressing cells, suggesting a physical interaction of the mediator with virions. The higher concentrations of soluble mNectin1 required to block infectivity relative to soluble hNectin1 suggest that the target of the two molecules is not identical. Entry of HSV, but not PrV, was blocked by soluble mNectin1delta in NIH 3T3 and L cells. Two features were unexpected. First, soluble mNectin1delta failed to physically interact with HSV glycoprotein D (gD) at a detectable level, although it interacted physically with virions. Second, coexpression of mNectin1delta and HSV gD did not restrict HSV or PrV infection, whereas coexpression of hNectin and gD did restrict infection, suggesting that mNectin1delta fails to be sequestered by HSV gD. We conclude that mNectin1delta serves as a species-nonspecific mediator for entry of the human and animal alphaherpesviruses. This activity, at least for HSV, is independent of a detectable binding to gD.

Abstract
Nectin-2 is a cell adhesion molecule encoded by a member of the poliovirus receptor gene family. This family consists of human, monkey, rat, and murine genes that are members of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily. Nectin-2 is a component of cell-cell adherens junctions and interacts with l-afadin, an F-actin-binding protein. Disruption of both alleles of the murine nectin-2 gene resulted in morphologically aberrant spermatozoa with defects in nuclear and cytoskeletal morphology and mitochondrial localization. Homozygous null males are sterile, while homozygous null females, as well as heterozygous males and females, are fertile. The production by nectin-2(-/-) mice of normal numbers of spermatozoa containing wild-type levels of DNA suggests that Nectin-2 functions at a late stage of germ cell development. Consistent with such a role, Nectin-2 is expressed in the testes only during the later stages of spermatogenesis. The structural defects observed in spermatozoa of nectin-2(-/-) mice suggest a role for this protein in organization and reorganization of the cytoskeleton during spermiogenesis.
