Cross-linking of the CD28 Ag on T cells results in increased beta 1-integrin-mediated adhesion to fibronectin. Chimeric contructs containing the CD28 cytoplasmic domain fused to the extracellular and transmembrane regions of CD2 were expressed in HL60 cells to investigate CD28-mediated regulation of adhesion. Ab cross-linking of the CD2/28 chimera resulted in increased beta 1-dependent adhesion of HL60 transfectants to fibronectin. Induced binding was completely inhibited by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-K) inhibitor wortmannin. Cross-linking of the CD2/28 chimera also induced association of the p85 subunit of PI 3-K with the CD2/28 cytoplasmic domain. In contrast, cross-linking of a CD2/28 chimera containing a tyrosine to phenylalanine substitution in the YMNM motif did not result in increased adhesion to fibronectin and did not lead to association of the chimera with PI 3-K. These results directly implicate the YMNM motif and PI 3-K in the regulation of beta 1-integrin activity by the CD28 Ag.

D005353	Fibronectins	Glycoproteins found on the surfaces of cells, particularly in fibrillar structures. The proteins are lost or reduced when these cells undergo viral or chemical transformation. They are highly susceptible to proteolysis and are substrates for activated blood coagulation factor VIII. The forms present in plasma are called cold-insoluble globulins.

D005822	Genetic Vectors	DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition.
