Generation of Recombinant Fragments of CD11b Expressing the Functional ß-Glucan-Binding Lectin Site of CR3 (CD11b/CD18)1

CR3 (Mac-1; {alpha}Mß2 integrin) functions as both a receptor for the opsonic iC3b fragment of C3 triggering phagocytosis or cytotoxicity and an adhesion molecule mediating leukocyte diapedesis. Recent reports have suggested that a CR3 lectin site may be required for both cytotoxic responses and adhesion. Cytotoxic responses require dual recognition of iC3b via the I domain of CD11b and specific microbial surface polysaccharides (e.g., ß-glucan) via a separate lectin site. Likewise, adhesion requires a lectin-dependent membrane complex between CR3 and CD87. To characterize the lectin site further, a recombinant baculovirus (rBv) system was developed that allowed high level expression of rCD11b on membranes and in the cytoplasm of Sf21 insect cells. Six rBv were generated that contained truncated cDNA encoding various CD11b domains. Immunoblotting of rBv-infected Sf21 cells showed that some native epitopes were expressed by five of six rCD11b fragments. Lectin activity of rCD11b proteins was evaluated by both flow cytometry with ß-glucan-FITC and radioactive binding assays with [125I]ß-glucan. Sf21 cells expressing rCD11b that included the C-terminal region, with or without the I-domain, exhibited lectin activity that was inhibited by unlabeled ß-glucan or anti-CR3 mAbs. The smallest rCD11b fragment exhibiting lectin activity included the C-terminus and part of the divalent cation binding region. The ß-glucan binding affinities of the three C-terminal region-containing rCD11bs expressed on Sf21 cell membranes were not significantly different from each other and were similar to that of neutrophil CR3. These data suggest that the lectin site may be located entirely within CD11b, although lectin site-dependent signaling through CD18 probably occurs with the heterodimer.
