Cell adhesion molecule L1 regulates multiple cell functions and its deficiency is linked to neural diseases. The interaction between L1 and HP1 isoforms affects L1-dependent functions, such as neurite outgrowth and neuronal migration.
Cell adhesion molecule L1 regulates multiple cell functions and L1 deficiency is linked to several neural diseases. Proteolytic processing generates functionally decisive L1 fragments, which are imported into the nucleus. By computational analysis, we found at L1's C-terminal end the chromo shadow domain-binding motif PxVxL, which directs the binding of nuclear proteins to the heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) isoforms alpha, beta, and gamma. By enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, we show that the intracellular L1 domain binds to all HP1 isoforms. These interactions involve the HP1 chromo shadow domain and are mediated via the sequence 1158KDET1161 in the intracellular domain of murine L1, but not by L1's C-terminal PxVxL motif. Immunoprecipitation using nuclear extracts from the brain and from cultured cerebellar and cortical neurons indicates that HP1 isoforms interact with a yet unknown nuclear L1 fragment of approximately 55 kDa (L1-55), which carries ubiquitin residues. Proximity ligation indicates a close association between L1-55 and the HP1 isoforms in neuronal nuclei. This association is reduced after the treatment of neurons with inhibitors of metalloproteases, beta-site of amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme (BACE1), or gamma-secretase, suggesting that cleavage of full-length L1 by these proteases generates L1-55. Reduction of HP1 alpha, -beta, or -gamma expression by siRNA decreases L1-dependent neurite outgrowth from cultured cortical neurons and decreases the L1-dependent migration of L1-transfected HEK293 cells in a scratch assay. These findings indicate that the interaction of the novel fragment L1-55 with HP1 isoforms in nuclei affects L1-dependent functions, such as neurite outgrowth and neuronal migration.
