Abstract
OBJECTIVES To detect a potential hidden dissemination of the blaOXA-48 gene among Proteus mirabilis isolates obtained from a single centre. METHODS P. mirabilis from diverse clinical samples presenting an ESBL phenotype or obtained from blood cultured from 2017 to 2019 were evaluated. Bacterial identification was performed using MALDI-TOF MS. MICs were determined using International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard microdilution and interpreted following EUCAST guidelines. WGS was performed using both short- and long-read technologies and assemblies were done using Unicycler. Resistomes were assessed using the ResFinder database. SNPs were detected using the PATRIC bioinformatics platform. Cloning experiments were performed using the pCRII-TOPO cloning kit. RESULTS Thirty-one out of 108 (28.7%) isolates were positive for blaOXA-48 and blaCTX-M-15. Twenty-nine out of 31 of the isolates were susceptible to temocillin, piperacillin/tazobactam, ertapenem and meropenem, whereas only 2/31 showed a resistance phenotype against these antibiotics. Both blaOXA-48 and blaCTX-M-15 genes were detected within the same chromosomally integrated new transposon in all isolates. The resistant isolates displayed a single mutation located in the putative promoter upstream of blaOXA-48. Cloning experiments confirmed that the mutation was responsible for the resistance phenotype. CONCLUSIONS The presence of a chromosomal copy of blaOXA-48 did not confer resistance to carbapenems, but a single mutation in the promoter could lead to an increase in resistance. This study shows a hidden circulation of OXA-48-positive, but carbapenem- and piperacillin/tazobactam-susceptible, P. mirabilis isolates that can become resistant to β-lactams after a single mutation.

Abstract
Regulation of gene expression is a key factor influencing the success of antimicrobial resistance determinants. A variety of determinants conferring resistance against aminoglycosides (Ag) are commonly found in clinically relevant bacteria, but whether their expression is regulated or not is controversial. The expression of several Ag resistance genes has been reported to be controlled by a riboswitch mechanism encoded in a conserved sequence. Yet this sequence corresponds to the integration site of an integron, a genetic platform that recruits genes of different functions, making the presence of such a riboswitch counterintuitive. We provide, for the first time, experimental evidence against the existence of such Ag-sensing riboswitch. We first tried to reproduce the induction of the well characterized aacA5 gene using its native genetic environment, but were unsuccessful. We then broadened our approach and analyzed the inducibility of all AgR genes encoded in integrons against a variety of antibiotics. We could not observe biologically relevant induction rates for any gene in the presence of several aminoglycosides. Instead, unrelated antibiotics produced mild but consistently higher increases in expression, that were the result of pleiotropic effects. Our findings rule out the riboswitch control of aminoglycoside resistance genes in integrons.

Abstract
Macrolides are broad-spectrum antibiotics used to treat a range of infections. Resistance to macrolides is often conferred by mobile resistance genes encoding Erm methyltransferases or Mph phosphotransferases. New erm and mph genes keep being discovered in clinical settings but their origins remain unknown, as is the type of macrolide resistance genes that will appear in the future. In this study, we used optimized hidden Markov models to characterize the macrolide resistome. Over 16 terabases of genomic and metagenomic data, representing a large taxonomic diversity (11 030 species) and diverse environments (1944 metagenomic samples), were searched for the presence of erm and mph genes. From this data, we predicted 28 340 macrolide resistance genes encoding 2892 unique protein sequences, which were clustered into 663 gene families (<70 % amino acid identity), of which 619 (94 %) were previously uncharacterized. This included six new resistance gene families, which were located on mobile genetic elements in pathogens. The function of ten predicted new resistance genes were experimentally validated in Escherichia coli using a growth assay. Among the ten tested genes, seven conferred increased resistance to erythromycin, with five genes additionally conferring increased resistance to azithromycin, showing that our models can be used to predict new functional resistance genes. Our analysis also showed that macrolide resistance genes have diverse origins and have transferred horizontally over large phylogenetic distances into human pathogens. This study expands the known macrolide resistome more than ten-fold, provides insights into its evolution, and demonstrates how computational screening can identify new resistance genes before they become a significant clinical problem.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our aim was to characterize the putative MBL of the environmental strain Zhongshania aliphaticivorans isolated from a marine environment. METHODS The putative MBL was identified in silico using the NCBI database. The β-lactamase gene was cloned into different Escherichia coli backgrounds. Kinetic parameters were determined using the purified enzyme. RESULTS The enzyme named ZHO-1 shared 51% amino acid identity with the acquired class B carbapenemases IMP-1, KHM-1 and DIM-1. Expression of the blaZHO-1 gene in a susceptible E. coli resulted in a carbapenemase phenotype. Kinetic parameters determined from purified ZHO-1 enzyme showed that it had significant hydrolytic activity against most β-lactams including penicillins, cephalosporins and carbapenems, with the exception of aztreonam and cefepime. CONCLUSIONS This study adds to the knowledge regarding environmental species as a reservoir of possible clinically relevant MBLs.

Abstract
Background A strategy used by bacterial strains to resist β-lactam antibiotics is the expression of metallo-β-lactamases (MBL) requiring zinc for activity. The use of a zinc chelator may restore carbapenem activity against MBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. DMSA is a heavy metal chelator approved in humans with a satisfactory safety record. Our objective was to evaluate the activity of DMSA in combination with carbapenems, in vitro and in a fatal murine peritonitis model, against MBL-producing Escherichia coli. Methods Isogenic derivatives of wild-type E. coli CFT073 producing the MBL NDM-1, VIM-2, IMP-1, and the serine carbapenemases OXA-48 and KPC-3 were constructed. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of imipenem, meropenem, and ertapenem were determined against each strain alone or in combination with DMSA. Mice were infected with E. coli CFT073 or NDM-1 and treated intraperitoneally for 24 hours with imipenem 100 mg/kg every 4 hours, DMSA 200 mg/kg every 4 hours, or both. Mice survival rates and bacterial counts in peritoneal fluid (PF) and spleen were assessed at 24 hours. Results In vitro, DMSA in combination with each carbapenem permitted a significant decrease of the MICs against all MBL-producing strains, in a concentration-dependent manner. The maximum effect was found for the NDM-1 strain with a 6- to 8-fold MIC reduction, depending on the carbapenem used. NDM-1 strain became susceptible to carbapenems with concentrations of DMSA ≥6 mM. Increasing zinc concentrations above 1 mg/L (average human plasma concentration) did not alter this effect. No benefit of DMSA was observed against non-MBL strains. In vivo, when used alone, the DMSA regimen was not toxic in uninfected mice and ineffective against NDM-1-infected mice (100% mortality). Combination of imipenem and DMSA significantly reduced bacterial counts in PF and spleen as compared with imipenem alone (P < 0.001), and reduced mortality, although not significantly (11% vs. 37%, respectively, P = 0.12). No benefit of the combination was observed against CFT073. Conclusion DMSA is highly effective in vitro in reducing carbapenems MICs against MBL-producing E. coli and appears as a promising strategy in combination with carbapenems for the treatment of NDM-1-related infections.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Colistin often remains the last resort antibiotic active against carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae. However, while in vitro inoculum effect has been reported, therapeutic relevance of this phenomenon remains questioned. METHODS Ten E. coli strains were used that included the wild-type CFT073 and its transconjugant CFT073-MCR-1 and eight susceptible clinical isolates. Mice with peritonitis were treated for 24 h with colistin sulfate. Bacterial loads were determined in peritoneal fluid (PF) and spleen and colistin-resistant mutants were detected. RESULTS MICs of colistin against the eight susceptible clinical strains and CFT073 ranged from 0.125 to 0.5 mg/L with an inoculum of 105 CFU/mL and from 2 to 4 mg/L with a 107 CFU/mL inoculum; 5/9 strains with an MIC of 4 mg/L were considered resistant according to EUCAST breakpoint (resistance, > 2 mg/L). When the bacterial load of wild-type CFT073 inoculated in mice increased from 107 to 108 CFU: i) mean log10 CFU reduction generated by colistin in PF and spleen decreased from 5.8/mL and 3.1/g, respectively, (p < 0.01) to 0.9/mL and 0.8/g, respectively (NS); ii) mice survival rate decreased from 15/15 (100%) to 6/15 (40%) (p = 0.017); and iii) proportion of mice with selection of colistin-resistant mutants increased from 4/15 to 15/15 (p < 0.01). These results were comparable to those obtained when peritonitis was produced with a 107 CFU bacterial load of E. coli CFT073 expressing mcr-1, for which the mean log10 CFU reductions were 3.5/mL and 0.6/g in PF and spleen, respectively (NS), and survival rate was 8/15 (53%) (p < 0.01 versus survival of mice infected with wild-type CFT073). CONCLUSIONS Phenotypic colistin resistance in wild-type E. coli due to an increase in inoculum size had a therapeutic impact in mice with peritonitis that was comparable to that observed when the mcr-1 gene was expressed.

Abstract
The gene encoding the metallo-β-lactamase (MβL) PAN-1 was identified in the genome of the environmental Gram-negative species Pseudobacteriovorax antillogorgiicola. PAN-1 shares 57% amino-acid identity with the acquired MβL SPM-1, its closest relative. Kinetic parameters performed on purified PAN-1 showed it displayed a hydrolytic activity toward most β-lactams including carbapenems but spared cefepime and aztreonam. These results further highlight that environmental bacterial species may be reservoirs of MβL encoding genes.

Abstract
The mcr-1 (mobile colistin resistance 1) gene, which encodes phosphoethanolamine transferase, has been recently identified as a source of acquired resistance to polymyxins in Escherichia coli. Using the SuperPolymyxin selective medium, we prospectively screened 100 pigs at 2 farms in Portugal for polymyxin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and recovered 98 plasmid-mediated MCR-1–producing isolates. Most isolates corresponded to nonclonally related E. coli belonging to many sequence types; we also found 2 Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence types. The mcr-1 gene was carried on IncHI2 or IncP plasmid backbones. Our finding of a high rate of MCR-1 producers on 2 pig farms in Portugal highlights the diffusion of that colistin-resistance determinant at the farm level. The fact that the pigs received colistin as metaphylaxis in their feed during the 6 weeks before sampling suggests selective pressure.

Abstract
PER-1 is an extended-spectrum β-lactamase that is encoded by a gene located in composite transposon Tn1213 made by two distinct insertion sequences, namely, ISPa12 and ISPa13. In vitro mobilization performed in Escherichia coli shows that Tn1213 is functional and is able to mobilize the blaPER-1 gene, although at a very low frequency (ca. 1 × 10-9).

Abstract
The analytical performances of the RAPIDEC CARBA NP® (bioMérieux) and the β-CARBA® (Bio-Rad) tests were evaluated for the rapid detection of any known type of carbapenemases in Enterobacteriaceae. An international collection of 149 enterobacterial isolates comprising 111 Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) and 38 non-carbapenemase producers was used. CPE included 32 carbapenemase producers of class A (18 KPC-2, 1 FRI-1, 5 SME and 8 IMI), 33 of class B (13 NDM, 11 VIM and 9 IMP) and 46 of class D (15 OXA-48, 14 OXA-181, 10 OXA-204, 3 OXA-232 and 4 OXA-162). The RAPIDEC CARBA NP® and the β-CARBA® tests were performed in strict accordance to the manufacturer's instructions and results were read within 2 h and 30 min, respectively. RAPIDEC CARBA NP® detected 104/111 CPE isolates compared to 72/111 for the β-CARBA® test. The overall sensitivity and specificity were 93.7% and 100%, respectively, for the RAPIDEC CARBA NP® test, and 64.9% and 90%, respectively, for the β-CARBA® test. The β-CARBA® test failed to detect all the non-KPC class A carbapenemases (14/14) and most (24/31) of the OXA-48-like producers (OXA-162, OXA-181, OXA-204 and OXA-232), and detected 1/1 OXA-163 and 1/1 OXA-405 as carbapenemase producers whereas these enzymes are rather defined as non carbapenemases. RAPIDEC CARBA NP® test exhibited better performances than those of the β-CARBA® test and confirmed to be a reliable tool for the detection of CPE, especially for OXA-48-like producers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have recently reported a novel mutation in the beta3 subunit of the platelet fibrinogen receptor (alpha(IIb)beta3D723H) identified in a patient with dominantly inherited macrothrombocytopenia, and we have shown that this mutation promotes a new phenotype in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, characterized by fibrinogen-dependent, microtubule-driven proplatelet-like cell extensions. RESULTS Here we demonstrate that the partially activated alpha(IIb)beta3D723H or alpha(IIb)beta3D723A salt bridge mutants, but not fully activated alpha(IIb)beta3 mutants, cause this phenotype. Time-lapse videomicroscopy clearly differentiated these stable microtubule-driven and nocodazole-sensitive extensions from common dynamic actin-driven pseudopodia. In addition, overexpression of a mitochondrial marker confirmed their functional role in organelle transport. Comparative immunofluorescence analysis of the subcellular localization of alpha(IIb)beta3, the focal adhesion proteins talin or vinculin and actin revealed a similar membrane labeling of CHO cell extensions and CD34+-derived megakaryocyte proplatelets. Mutant alpha(IIb)beta3D723H signaling was independent of Src, protein kinase C or phosphoinositide 3-kinase, but correlated with decreased RhoA activity as compared with wild-type alpha(IIb)beta3 signaling, reminiscent of integrin signaling during neurite outgrowth. Accordingly, overexpression of constitutively active RhoA in CHO alpha(IIb)beta3D723H cells prevented protrusion formation on fibrinogen. Most interestingly, RhoA/ROCK inhibition was necessary, but not sufficient, and integrin activity was additionally required to induce CHO cell extension formation. CONCLUSIONS CHO alpha(IIb)beta3D723H cell protrusions and megakaryocyte proplatelets, like neuronal cell neurites, result from a common integrin-dependent signaling pathway, promoting strongly decreased RhoA activity and leading to microtubule-driven formation of cytoplasmic extensions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alpha(IIb)beta3-mediated platelet adhesive interactions in the vasculature, which are dependent on the functional state of this receptor, may be sensitive to shear forces. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the influence of the alpha(IIb)beta3 affinity state on cell attachment under flow, we compared Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing the low affinity alpha(IIb)beta3 wild-type (wt) receptor to those expressing the high affinity alpha(IIb)beta3 T562N receptor. MATERIALS AND METHODS We designed a real-time videomicroscopy adhesion assay for von Willebrand factor (VWF) or fibrinogen under flow conditions. RESULTS At 50 s(-1), alpha(IIb)beta3 T562N supported higher cell adhesion to fibrinogen (63.3 +/- 2.9 cells/field) than alpha(IIb)beta3 wt (38.7 +/- 2.4 cells/field, P < 0.0001). At 100 s(-1), alpha(IIb)beta3 T562N mediated cell adhesion (40.5 +/- 3.8 cells/field), while alpha(IIb)beta3 wt did not (5.3 +/- 1.4 cells/field, P < 0.001), allowing to discriminate the efficiency of each receptor. Similar findings were observed for adhesion to VWF. Complete inhibition of cell adhesion to fibrinogen was achieved with 800 microM fibrinogen gamma-chain dodecapeptide [HHLGGAKQAGDV (H12)], while Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) peptide (10-1000 microM) induced a dose-dependent cell detachment. These results suggest that the H12 motif allows initial attachment, in contrast to the RGDS site, which strengthens the stability of adhesion. Interestingly, compared with wt, a 10-fold lower concentration of RGDS was required to reach a similar reduction of cell adhesion mediated by alpha(IIb)beta3 T562N. CONCLUSIONS Our data show that alpha(IIb)beta3 activation is associated with a stabilization of integrin binding to fibrinogen or VWF under shear.

Abstract
We have investigated the effect of a new Leu196Pro mutation, identified in the MIDAS-like domain of the beta3 integrin subunit in a patient with type II Glanzmann thrombasthenia, on beta3 integrin receptor function. Expression of the mutant beta3Pro196 subunit in CHO cells, either associated with recombinant human alphaIIb or alphav, resulted in normal biosynthesis of beta3 and heterodimerization with alphav or alphaIIb, but selectively interfered with alphaIIbbeta3 maturation and transport to the cell surface. Functional analysis of the beta3 mutant receptors revealed strong inhibition of alphavbeta3-mediated cell spreading on immobilized fibrinogen, focal contact formation, p125FAK phosphorylation and fibrin clot retraction, as opposed to normal alphaIIbbeta3-mediated cell interaction with immobilized fibrinogen, focal contact translocation and signaling. In contrast, antibody- or DTT-activated mutant aIIbbeta3 was unable to bind soluble fibrinogen or the ligand mimetic PAC-1 monoclonal antibody, but underwent a conformational change following RGD peptide binding as demonstrated by AP5-LIBS epitope expression. These results suggest that (1) the highly conserved TL196T motif in the beta3 integrin subunit is located in a domain structurally important for the exposure of a functional binding site for soluble fibrinogen; and (2) that the MIDAS-like contact site in beta3 is not involved in alphaIIbbeta3-mediated cell adhesion to immobilized fibrinogen, while it is essential for alphavbeta3-mediated interaction with this ligand.

Abstract
We have investigated receptor function and epitope expression of recombinant alpha(IIb)beta(3) mutated at Cys(177) or Cys(273) in the I-like domain as well as Cys(598), located in the fourth repeat of the membrane-proximal cysteine-rich region and mutated in a Glanzmann's thrombasthenia type II patient. The beta(3) mutants beta(3)C177A, beta(3)C273A, and beta(3)C598Y exhibited a decreased electrophoretic mobility in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions, confirming the disruption of the respective disulfide loops. Despite reduced surface expression, the alpha(IIb)beta(3)C177A, alpha(IIb)beta(3)C273A, and alpha(IIb)beta(3)C598Y receptors mediated cell adhesion to immobilized fibrinogen and translocated into focal adhesion plaques. The beta(3)C598Y mutation, but not the beta(3)C177A or beta(3)C273A mutations, induced spontaneous binding of the ligand mimetic monoclonal antibody PAC-1, while the beta(3)C177A and beta(3)C273A mutants exhibited reduced complex stability in the absence of Ca(2+). Epitope mapping of function-blocking monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) allowed the identification of two distinct subgroups; mAbs A2A9, pl2-46, 10E5, and P256 did not interact with alpha(IIb)beta(3)C273A and bound only weakly to alpha(IIb)beta(3)C177A, while mAbs AP2, LM609 and 7E3 bound normally to mutant alpha(IIb)beta(3)C273A, but interacted only weakly with mutant alpha(IIb)beta(3)C177A. Furthermore, a cryptic epitope recognized by mAb 4D10G3 and not exposed on wild type alpha(IIb)beta(3) became accessible only on mutant alpha(IIb)beta(3)C177A and was mapped to the 60-kDa chymotrypsin fragment of beta(3). Finally, the ligand-induced binding site (LIBS) epitopes AP5, D3, LIBS1, and LIBS2 were spontaneously expressed on all three mutants independent of RGDS or dithiothreitol treatment. Our results provide evidence that disruption of a single cysteine disulfide bond in the cysteine-rich repeat domain, but not in the I-like domain, activates integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3). In contrast, disruption of each of the disulfide bonds in the two long insertions of the I-like domain predicted to be in close contact with the alpha subunit beta-propeller domain affect the stability of the alpha(IIb)beta(3) heterodimer and inhibit complex-specific mAb binding without affecting the RGD binding capacity of the metal ion-dependent adhesion site-like domain.

Abstract
Using green fluorescent protein (GFP) as an autofluorescent tag, we report the first successful visualization of a beta3 integrin in a living cell. GFP fused in frame to the cytoplasmic tail of either alphaIIb or beta3 allowed normal expression, heterodimerization, processing and surface exposure of alphaIIbGFPbeta3 and alphaIIb(beta3)GFP receptors in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Direct microscopic observation of the autofluorescent cells in suspension following antibody-induced alphaIIb(beta3) capping revealed an intense autofluorescent cap corresponding to unlabelled immunoclustered GFP-tagged alphaIIb(beta3). GFP-tagged alphaIIbbeta3 receptors mediated fibrinogen-dependent cell adhesion, were readily detectable in focal adhesions of unstained living cells and triggered p125(FAK) tyrosine phosphorylation similar to wild-type alphaIIb(beta3) (where FAK corresponds to focal adhesion kinase). However, GFP tagged to beta3, but not to alphaIIb, induced spontaneous CHO cell aggregation in the presence of soluble fibrinogen, as well as binding of the fibrinogen mimetic monoclonal antibody PAC1 in the absence of alphaIIb(beta3) receptor activation. Time-lapse imaging of living transfectants revealed a characteristic redistribution of GFP-tagged alphaIIb(beta3) during the early stages of cell attachment and spreading, starting with alphaIIb(beta3) clustering at the rim of the cell contact area, that gradually overlapped with the boundary of the attached cell, and, with the onset of cell spreading, to a reorganization of alphaIIb(beta3) in focal adhesions. Taken together, our results demonstrate that (1) fusion of GFP to the cytoplasmic tail of either alphaIIb or beta3 integrin subunits allows normal cell surface expression of a functional receptor, and (2) structural modification of the beta3 integrin cytoplasmic tail, rather than the alphaIIb subunit, plays a major role in alphaIIb(beta3) affinity modulation. With the successful direct visualization of functional alphaIIb(beta3) receptors in living cells, the generation of autofluorescent integrins in transgenic animals will become possible, allowing new approaches to study the dynamics of integrin functions.

Abstract
In order to explore the mechanisms leading to conformational changes of the vitronectin receptor alphavbeta3 following ligand or divalent cation binding, we have investigated the expression of epitopes known as ligand-induced binding sites (LIBS) on beta3 cytoplasmic tail mutants expressed in CHO cells. Truncation of the entire beta3 cytoplasmic domain induced constitutive LIBS exposure on alphavbeta3 and alphaIIbeta3. Deletion of the C-terminal NITY759 sequence or disruption of the NPLY747 motif by a Y747A substitution impaired extracellular conformational changes on alphavbeta3 following RGDS, echistatin or Mn2+ binding, whereas the substitutions Y747F, Y759A or Y759F allowed normal LIBS exposure. Furthermore, metabolic energy depletion totally prevented Mn2+-dependent LIBS exposure, but had only a minor effect on RGDS-induced conformational changes. Our results demonstrate that the structural integrity of the NPLY747 motif in the beta3 cytoplasmic domain, rather than potential phosphorylation of Tyr747 or Tyr759, is a prerequisite for conformational changes within the alphavbeta3 ectodomain, and suggest that two different mechanisms are responsible for RGDS- and Mn2+-dependent conformational changes.

Abstract
Calreticulin was recently identified as a hookworm (Necator americanus) allergen, implying secretion, and contact with cells of the immune system, or significant worm attrition in the tissues of the host. As human calreticulin has been shown to bind to and neutralize the haemolytic activity of the complement component C1q, and to be putatively involved in integrin-mediated intracellular signalling events in platelets, it was of interest to determine whether a calreticulin from a successful nematode parasite of humans, with known immune modulatory and antihaemostatic properties, exhibited a capacity to interfere with complement activation and to interact with integrin domains associated with cell signalling in platelets and other leucocytes. We can now report that recombinant calreticulin failed to demonstrate significant calcium binding capacity, which is a hallmark of calreticulins in general and may indicate inappropriate folding following expression in a prokaryote. Nevertheless, recombinant calreticulin retained sufficient molecular architecture to bind to, and inhibit the haemolytic capacity of, human C1q. Furthermore, recombinant calreticulin reacted in surface plasmon resonance analysis (SPR) with peptides corresponding to cytoplasmic signalling domains of the integrins alphaIIb and alpha5, in a calcium independent manner. SPR was also used to ratify the specificity of a polyclonal antibody to hookworm calreticulin, which was then used to assess the stage specificity of expression of the native molecule (in comparison with reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction), to indicate its apparent secretion, and to purify native calreticulin from worm extracts by affinity chromatography. This development will allow the functional tests described above to be repeated for native calreticulin, to ascertain its role in the host-parasite relationship.

Abstract
We have recently identified integrin alpha(v)beta(3) and the associated CD47/integrin-associated protein (IAP) together with three other proteins as the potential tumor cell receptors for the alpha(3) chain of basement membrane type IV collagen (Shahan, T.A., Ziaie, Z., Pasco, S., Fawzi, A., Bellon, G., Monboisse, J. C., and Kefalides, N. A. (1999) Cancer Res. 59, 4584-4590). Using different cell lines expressing alpha(v)beta(3), alpha(IIb)beta(3), and/or CD47 and a liquid phase receptor capture assay, we now provide direct evidence that the synthetic and biologically active alpha3(IV)185-206 peptide, derived from the alpha3(IV) chain, interacts with the beta(3) subunit of integrin alpha(v)beta(3), independently of CD47. Increased alpha3(IV) peptide binding was observed on transforming growth factor-beta(1)-stimulated HT-144 cells shown to up-regulate alpha(v)beta(3) independently of CD47. Also, incubation of HT-144 melanoma cells in suspension induced de novo exposure of ligand-induced binding site epitopes on the beta(3) subunit similar to those observed following Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) stimulation. However, RGDS did not prevent HT-144 cell attachment and spreading on the alpha3(IV) peptide, suggesting that the alpha3(IV) binding domain on the beta(3) subunit is distinct from the RGD recognition site. alpha3(IV) peptide binding to HT-144 cells in suspension stimulated time-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation, while the RGDS peptide did not. Two major phosphotyrosine proteins of 120-130 and 85 kDa were immunologically identified as focal adhesion kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase). A direct involvement of PI3-kinase in alpha3(IV)-dependent beta(3) integrin signaling could be documented, since pretreatment of HT-144 cells with wortmannin, a PI3-kinase inhibitor, reverted the known inhibitory effect of alpha3(IV) on HT-144 cell proliferation as well as membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase gene expression. These results provide evidence that the alpha3(IV)185-206 peptide, by directly interacting with the beta(3) subunit of alpha(v)beta(3), activates a signaling cascade involving focal adhesion kinase and PI3-kinase.

Abstract
We have shown previously that integrin-linked kinase (ILK) is upregulated in human HT-144 melanoma cells following TGF-beta1 stimulation. Using mRNA from TGF-beta1 stimulated HT-144 cells and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, we have isolated a cDNA encoding a protein highly homologous to ILK. Sequencing of the full-length 1359 base pair cDNA and polypeptide translation revealed that this protein, designated ILK-2, differs from the known ILK (hereafter called ILK-1) by only four amino acids, while the cDNA sequence diverges by 102 nucleotides, thus excluding that ILK-2 is an allelic variant of ILK-1. Expression of ILK-2 mRNA was observed in metastatic human HT-144 melanoma and HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cell lines, but not in normal human tissues. Moreover, stimulation of HT-144 cells with TGF-beta1, but not with EGF, PDGF-AB or insulin, induced a selective overexpression of ILK-2 mRNA as compared to ILK-1 mRNA. Bacterially-expressed GST/ILK-2 autophosphorylated and labeled myelin basic protein as well as a recombinant GST/beta3 integrin cytoplasmic tail peptide. Transfection of either ILK-2 or ILK-1 cDNA into the non-metastatic melanoma cell line SK-Mel-2, expressing exclusively ILK-1, induced anchorage independent cell growth and cell proliferation, as demonstrated by growth in soft agar. Our data provide evidence that ILK-2 is a new isoform of ILK-1 that is expressed in some highly invasive tumor cell lines but not in normal adult human tissues and whose expression is regulated by TGF-beta1.

Abstract
The first step of laminin 1-induced signal transduction is initiated by the formation of alpha 6 beta 1 integrin-specific adhesion complexes. In contrast, on other laminin isoforms the adhesion complexes are alpha 3 beta 1 integrin-specific due to a transdominant regulation of the alpha 6 beta 1 integrin by the alpha 3 beta 1 integrin. To determine the mechanism of this regulation, peptides representing the cytoplasmic domain of the alpha 3 or alpha 6 integrin subunits were microinjected together with recombinant enhanced green fluorescence protein into live fibroblasts. Microinjection of the alpha 3 integrin peptide to laminin 1-adherent cells displaying alpha 6 beta 1 integrin-specific adhesion complexes resulted in the disengagement of the alpha 6 beta 1 integrin, while microinjection of green fluorescence protein alone or in combination with the alpha 6 integrin cytodomain had no effect. Further surface plasmon resonance studies revealed that the cytodomain of the beta 1 integrin subunit interacts with low affinity with the cytoplasmic tail of the alpha 3 integrin subunit, but not with that of several other alpha subunits including alpha 6. These results imply that the cytoplasmic tails of the integrin alpha subunits play a critical role in the regulation of integrin-induced signal transduction. In particular, the intracellular tail of the alpha 3 integrin subunit controls the formation of adhesion complexes in cells adhering to laminins.

Abstract
We have previously shown that 2 human melanoma cell lines, the metastatic HT-144 and the non-metastatic SK-Mel-2 cells, exhibit marked in vitro heterogeneity with respect to integrin expression, migration and invasion potential. Here, we provide evidence that HT-144 melanoma cells, but not SK-Mel-2 cells, undergo a reversible transition to a fibroblastoid morphology following treatment with either their own serum-free acidified conditioned medium or biologically active exogenous TGF-beta1, thus identifying TGF-beta as an autocrine regulator of the spindle shape morphology of HT-144 melanoma cells. The fibroblastoid phenotype correlated with up-regulated beta1 and beta3 integrin and down-regulated E-cadherin expression, as shown by flow cytometry, Western blot and RT-PCR, as well as up-regulated expression of the matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9, as demonstrated by zymography. Our data further illustrate the TGF-beta1-dependent up-regulation of integrin-linked kinase and the nuclear translocation of beta-catenin, 2 intracellular proteins involved in integrin and cadherin signaling.

Abstract
We have used recombinant or synthetic alphaIIb and beta3 integrin cytoplasmic peptides to study their in vitro complexation and ligand binding capacity by surface plasmon resonance. alpha.beta heterodimerization occurred in a 1:1 stoichiometry with a weak KD in the micromolar range. Divalent cations were not required for this association but stabilized the alpha.beta complex by decreasing the dissociation rate. alpha.beta complexation was impaired by the R995A substitution or the KVGFFKR deletion in alphaIIb but not by the beta3 S752P mutation. Recombinant calcium- and integrin-binding protein (CIB), an alphaIIb-specific ligand, bound to the alphaIIb cytoplasmic peptide in a Ca2+- or Mn2+-independent, one-to-one reaction with a KD value of 12 microM. In contrast, in vitro liquid phase binding of CIB to intact alphaIIbbeta3 occurred preferentially with Mn2+-activated alphaIIbbeta3 conformers, as demonstrated by enhanced coimmunoprecipitation of CIB with PAC-1-captured Mn2+-activated alphaIIbbeta3, suggesting that Mn2+ activation of intact alphaIIbbeta3 induces the exposure of a CIB-binding site, spontaneously exposed by the free alphaIIb peptide. Since CIB did not stimulate PAC-1 binding to inactive alphaIIbbeta3 nor prevented activated alphaIIbbeta3 occupancy by PAC-1, we conclude that CIB does not regulate alphaIIbbeta3 inside-out signaling, but rather is involved in an alphaIIbbeta3 post-receptor occupancy event.

Abstract
The beta3 cytoplasmic domain of the alpha v beta3 integrin is essential for intracellular signals required for cytoskeletal rearrangements. Expression of beta3Ser752Pro mutation in heterologous cells profoundly affects cell spreading and beta3 localization into focal contacts. However, the beta3Ser752Ala substitution mostly restores normal integrin functions, suggesting that the presence of Pro is responsible for the receptor's loss of function. To further assess the role of the Ser752 of the beta3 cytoplasmic domain in the cytoskeletal organization of adherent cells, we developed a computer-assisted method of image analysis allowing the automatic classification of spread cells according to the quantitative analysis of their cell morphology. We compared adhesion and spreading to von Willebrand factor (vWF) or fibrinogen (Fg) of cells expressing beta3 wild type, beta3Ser752Pro or beta3Ser752Ala mutated integrin subunit as a chimeric alpha v beta3 receptor. The beta3Ser752Ala substitution did not impair the general ability of cells to spread, but resulted in a delayed and reduced spreading on both vWF and Fg. Moreover, the beta3Ser752Ala mutation produced modifications of the morphology of spread cells, suggesting a disorganization of their cytoskeleton. Attachment studies showed that the beta3Ser752Ala mutation did not modify the capacity of cells to attach to the substrate, indicating no change in the ligand binding affinity of the alpha v beta3 integrin. Furthermore, we identified a slight defect of beta3Ser752Pro cell attachment to vWF and Fg, beside their impairment of spreading. Taken together, these results suggest a role of Ser752 of the beta3 cytoplasmic domain in the optimal cytoskeletal organization of adherent cells.

Abstract
The integrin IIbbeta3 mediates platelet aggregation through its fibrinogen and adhesive protein-binding properties. Particular interest concerns the role of the cytoplasmic domains of IIb and beta3. We now report the molecular analysis of IIbbeta3 from a patient with a Glanzmann's thrombasthenia-like syndrome for whom the principal characteristics are an approximate 50% total platelet content of IIbbeta3 but with a much lower proportion in the surface pool (Hardisty et al, Blood 80:696, 1992). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) single-strand conformational polymorphism and DNA sequencing showed a heterozygous mutation giving rise to amino acid substitution R995 to Q in the GFFKR sequence of the cytoplasmic domain of IIb. Reverse transcriptase-PCR and polymorphism analysis only detected mRNA for the mutated allele of the IIb gene and a single allele of the beta3 gene in his platelets, suggesting other unidentified defects. Site-directed mutagenesis followed by transient expression of the mutated IIb together with wild-type beta3 in Cos-7 cells resulted in a markedly decreased expression of the complex at the cell surface when compared with cells transfected with wild-type IIb and beta3. Flow cytometry with PAC-1 and a stable Chinese hamster ovary-transfected cell line showed that the mutated receptor was not locked into a high activation state, although it became so in the presence of the activating antibody, anti-LIBS6. This is the first reported natural mutation in the highly conserved GFFKR sequence of the IIb cytoplasmic domain.

Abstract
We have investigated the structural requirements of the beta3 integrin subunit cytoplasmic domain necessary for tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and paxillin during alphav beta3-mediated cell spreading. Using CHO cells transfected with various beta3 mutants, we demonstrate a close correlation between alphav beta3-mediated cell spreading and tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK and paxillin, and highlight a distinct involvement of the NPLY747 and NITY759 motifs in these signaling processes. Deletion of the NITY759 motif alone was sufficient to completely prevent alphav beta3-dependent focal contact formation, cell spreading, and FAK/paxillin phosphorylation. The single Y759A substitution induced a strong inhibitory phenotype, while the more conservative, but still phosphorylation-defective, Y759F mutation restored wild type receptor function. Alanine substitution of the highly conserved Tyr747 completely abolished alphav beta3-dependent formation of focal adhesion plaques, cell spreading, and FAK/paxillin phosphorylation, whereas a Y747F substitution only partially restored these events. As none of these mutations affected receptor-ligand interaction, our results suggest that the structural integrity of the NITY759 motif, rather than the phosphorylation status of Tyr759 is important for beta3-mediated cytoskeleton reorganization and tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK and paxillin, while the presence of Tyr at residue 747 within the NPLY747 motif is required for optimal beta3 post-ligand binding events.

Abstract
Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT) is a recessive autosomal bleeding disorder characterized by abnormal platelet aggregation due to a qualitative or quantitative defect of the glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa complex (integrin alphaIIb beta3). We describe a new mutation in the GPIIIa gene responsible for type I GT in a consanguineous Algerian family. A discordance between phenotyping and genotyping of the GPIIIa-related HPA-1 platelet alloantigen system in three family members heterozygous for the disease suggested a genetic defect in the GPIIIa gene and a normal GPIIb gene. Sequence analysis of amplified genomic DNA fragments showed a 6-bp deletion in exon 7 of the GPIIIa gene resulting in the amino acid deletion/substitution (Ile325pro326Gly327 --> Met) and creating a new BspHI restriction site. Expression of the mutated integrin beta3 subunit cDNA in Chinese hamster ovary cells showed that the cDNA gene was transcribed into a full-length beta3 protein with an apparent molecular weight identical to wild-type beta3 and accumulated as a single-chain molecule in the cell cytoplasm. The absence of heterodimeric complex formation of the mutant beta3 protein with endogenous alpha v was shown by immunoprecipitation experiments, intracellular immunofluorescent labeling, and a semiquantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using the alpha vbeta3 complex-specific monoclonal antibodies LM609 and 23C6. Substitution of the methionine residue by a proline, present at position 326 of wild-type beta3, did not restore the ability of the recombinant mutant beta3 protein to associate with alpha v , suggesting that the Ile-Pro-Gly motif is located in a beta3 domain important for integrin subunit interaction. The association of a BspHI restriction site with this newly identified mutation has allowed allele-specific restriction analysis of Algerian GT individuals and the identification of two new unrelated type I patients exhibiting the same mutation, suggesting that the described mutation might be significant in this population and that BspHI restriction analysis will provide a useful screening assay for antenatal diagnosis and genetic counselling.

Abstract
Neutrophil elastase (NE) and cathepsin G are two serine proteinases released concomitantly by stimulated polymorphonuclear neutrophils. We previously demonstrated that while NE by itself does not activate human platelets, it strongly enhances the weak aggregation induced by a threshold concentration of cathepsin G (threshold of cathepsin G) (Renesto, P., and Chignard, M. (1993) Blood 82, 139-144). The aim of this study was to delineate the molecular mechanisms involved in this potentiation process. Two main pieces of data prompted us to focus on the activation of the platelet fibrinogen receptor, the alphaIIbbeta3 integrin. First, previous studies have shown this integrin to be particularly prone to proteolytic regulation of its function. Second, we found that the potentiating activity of NE on the threshold of cathepsin G-induced platelet aggregation was strictly dependent on the presence of exogenous fibrinogen. Using flow cytometry analysis, NE was shown to trigger a time-dependent binding of PAC-1 and AP-5, two monoclonal antibodies specific for the activated and ligand-occupied conformers of alphaIIbbeta3. Furthermore, the potentiated aggregation was shown to result from an increased capacity of platelets to bind fibrinogen. Indeed, the combination of NE and threshold of cathepsin G increased the binding of PAC-1 approximately 5.5-fold over basal values measured on nontreated platelets, whereas this binding raised only by approximately 3-fold in threshold of cathepsin G-stimulated platelets (p < 0.05). By contrast, phosphatidic acid accumulation, pleckstrin phosphorylation, and calcium mobilization produced by the combination of NE and threshold of cathepsin G were not significantly different from those measured with threshold of cathepsin G alone (p > 0.05), indicating that the phospholipase C/protein kinase C pathway is not involved in the potentiation of aggregation. The foregoing data, as well as the requirement of catalytically active NE to trigger alphaIIbbeta3 activation and potentiate threshold of cathepsin G-initiated platelet aggregation, led us to examine whether the structure of this integrin was affected by NE. Immunoblot and flow cytometry analysis revealed a limited proteolysis of the carboxyl terminus of the alphaIIb subunit heavy chain (alphaIIbH), as judged by the disappearance of the epitope for the monoclonal antibody PMI-1. Mass spectrometry studies performed on a synthetic peptide mapping over the cleavage domain of alphaIIbH predicted the site of proteolysis as located between Val837 and Asp838. Treatment by NE of ATP-depleted platelets or Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing human recombinant alphaIIbbeta3 clearly established that activation of the integrin was independent of signal transduction events and was concomitant with the proteolysis of alphaIIbH. In support of this latter observation, a close correlation was observed between the kinetics of proteolysis of alphaIIbH on platelets and that of expression of the ligand binding activity of alphaIIbbeta3 (r2 = 0.902, p </= 0. 005). However, only a subpopulation ( approximately 25%) of the proteolyzed alphaIIbbeta3 appeared to fully express the ligand binding capacity. Altogether, these results demonstrate that NE up-regulates the fibrinogen binding activity of alphaIIbbeta3 through a restricted proteolysis of the alphaIIb subunit, and that this process is relevant for the potentiation of platelet aggregation.
