Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1; aLß2; CD11a/CD18) is a member of the integrin family of cell surface adhesion receptors, and binds to the widely-expressed intercellular adhesion molecules-1,-2, and-3 (ICAM-1,-2,-3). LFA-1-ICAM interactions play critical roles in T-lymphocyte immune responses, mediating firm adhesion to antigen-presenting cells and target cells and additionally providing co-stimulatory signals for T-cell activation (Diamond and Springer 1994; Gahmberg 1997). The importance of LFA-1-ICAM interactions to cells involved in an immune response is emphasized by the fact that individuals with a CD18 gene defect lack functional cell surface ß2 chains and suffer from leukocyte adhesion deficiency, a potentially fatal disease characterized by recurrent pathogenic infections (Anderson and Springer 1987). The avidity of T-cell LFA-1 is transiently increased by intracellular signals generated following engagement of the antigen-specific T-cell receptor and CD28 molecules, as well as by several chemokines, but the intracellular pathways that control the LFA-1 adhesive state are not well understood (Springer 1994; Stewart and Hogg 1996). Cytohesin-1 has recently been identified as a potential regulatory molecule for LFA-1 in human T cells (Kolanus et al. 1996). Cytohesin-1 is a cytoplasmic protein containing a Sec7 domain and a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, and is encoded by cDNA previously identified in natural killer and cytotoxic T cells (Liu and Pohajdak 1992). In the human T-cell leukemia cell line Jurkat, overexpression of full-length cytohesin-1 or the isolated Sec7 domain gave rise to constitutive activation of LFA-1; conversely, over-expression of the PH domain-inhibited TCR-activated LFA-1 adhesion to ICAM-1 (Kolanus et al. 1996). These findings strongly suggest that cytohesin-1 plays a role in the physiological regulation of T-cell adhesion through LFA-1.To identify a mouse homologue of cytohesin-1, we isolated RNA from in vitro-activated T cells derived from lymph nodes of 6-week-old B10. D2/nSnJ male mice. First-strand cDNA was made with an oligo-dT primer and was then amplified with primers based on the human cytohesin-1 cDNA sequence (Liu and Pohajdak 1992; Kolanus et al. 1996). 5b primer: 5b-GGGGAATTCGCCACCATGGAGGAGGACGACAGCTACGTT-3b; 3b primer: 5b-GGGGCGGCCGCTTTAGTGTCGCTTCGTGGAGGAGACCTT-3b. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) conditions were: one cycle of 940 7C for 4 min, 35 cycles of 94 7C for 1 min, 55 7C for 1 min, 72 7C for 1 min, and a final extension at 72 7C for 10 min. Predicted full-length PCR products of 1200 base pairs (bp) were ligated into a TA cloning vector (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.), mini-preps were produced, and seven cDNA clones derived from two independent PCR reactions were sequenced in both directions either by dideoxy sequencing using a Sequenase kit (Amersham Corp., Arlington Heights, Ill.) as previously described (Feeney and Thuerauf 1989), or by automated sequencing with an ABI sequencer using sequencing primers spanning the entire cDNA sequence. cDNAs contained the complete coding sequence of 1197 bp and showed high similarity to the human cytohesin-1 cDNA sequence (Fig. 1). Examination of the mouse nucleotide sequence indicated 89.6% identity with human cytohesin-1.
