F3 and TAG-1 are two closely related adhesion glycoproteins of the
Ig superfamily that are both expressed by the axons of cerebellar
granule cells. In an in vitro system in which cerebellar granule cells were cultured on monolayers of transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, we show that F3 and TAG-1 interact functionally. F3 transfectants have been shown to inhibit outgrowth and
induce fasciculation of granule cell neurites. By contrast TAG-1
transfectants have no effect on these events. However, when TAG-1 is
coexpressed with F3, the inhibitory effect of F3 is blocked. Two
possible mechanisms may account for this functional interaction: (1)
either TAG-1 and F3 compete for the same neuronal receptor, and in
favor of this we observed that binding sites for microspheres conjugated with F3 and TAG-1 are colocalized on the granule cell growth
cones, (2) or alternatively, F3 and TAG-1 associate in a multimolecular
complex after their binding to independent receptors. Extensive
co-clustering of F3 with TAG-1 can in fact be achieved by anti-TAG-1
antibody-mediated cross-linking in double-transfected CHO cells.
Moreover, F3 coimmunoprecipitates with TAG-1 in Triton X-100-insoluble
microdomains purified from newborn brain. These data strongly suggest
that F3 and TAG-1 may associate under physiological conditions to
modulate neurite outgrowth and fasciculation of the cerebellar granule
cells.
