title: CD98 induces LFA-1-mediated cell adhesion in lymphoid cells via activation of Rap1.
abstract: CD98 is a multifunctional heterodimeric membrane protein involved in the regulation of cell adhesion as well as amino acid transport. We show that CD98 cross-linking persistently activates Rap1 GTPase in a LFA-1-dependent manner and induces LFA-1/ICAM-1-mediated cell adhesion in lymphocytes. Specific phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors suppressed both LFA-1 activation and Rap1GTP generation, and abrogation of Rap1GTP by retroviral over-expression of a specific Rap1 GTPase activating protein, SPA-1, totally inhibited the LFA-1/ICAM-1-mediated cell adhesion. These results suggest that CD98 cross-linking activates LFA-1 via the PI3K signaling pathway and induces accumulation of Rap1GTP in a LFA-1-dependent manner, which in turn mediates the cytoskeleton-dependent cell adhesion process.
