The adhesion receptor vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin transduces an array of signals that modulate crucial lymphatic cell behaviors including permeability and cytoskeletal remodeling. Consequently, VE-cadherin must interact with a multitude of intracellular proteins to exert these functions. Yet, the full protein interactome of VE-cadherin in endothelial cells remains a mystery. Here, we use proximity proteomics to illuminate how the VE-cadherin interactome changes during junctional reorganization from dis-continuous to continuous junctions, triggered by the lymphangiogenic factor adrenomedullin. These analyses identified interactors that reveal roles for ADP ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6) and the exocyst complex in VE-cadherin trafficking and recycling. We also identify a requisite role for VE-cadherin in the in vitro and in vivo control of secretion of reelin-a lymphangiocrine glycoprotein with recently appreciated roles in governing heart development and injury repair. This VE-cadherin protein interactome shines light on mechanisms that control adherens junction remodeling and secretion from lymphatic endothelial cells.
黏附受体血管内皮 (VE)-钙黏蛋白转导一系列信号,调节包括通透性和细胞骨架重塑在内的关键淋巴管细胞行为。因此,VE-钙黏蛋白必须与多种细胞内蛋白相互作用才能发挥这些功能。然而,内皮细胞中 VE-钙黏蛋白的完整蛋白质相互作用组仍然是一个谜。在这里,我们使用邻近蛋白质组学来阐明 VE-钙黏蛋白相互作用组如何在由淋巴管生成因子肾上腺髓质素触发的从不连续到连续连接的连接重排过程中发生变化。这些分析确定了相互作用蛋白,揭示了 ADP 核糖基化因子 6 (ARF6) 和外泌体复合物在 VE-钙黏蛋白运输和回收中的作用。我们还确定了 VE-钙黏蛋白在体外和体内控制 reelin-a 淋巴管分泌的必需作用,reelin-a 是一种具有最近被认为在控制心脏发育和损伤修复方面作用的淋巴管分泌糖蛋白。这个 VE-钙黏蛋白蛋白质相互作用组为控制黏附连接重塑和从淋巴管内皮细胞分泌的机制提供了线索。
