Human CD26, a Type II membrane glycoprotein with intrinsic dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPPIV) activity and ability to bind adenosine deaminase type I (ADA-1), is expressed on epithelial cells constitutively, but on T lymphocytes its expression is regulated. A soluble form of CD26/DPPIV has been described in plasma and related to immunological status, but it has been defined by the presence of DPPIV activity rather than by isolation. Using nondenaturing chromatographic techniques followed by nondenaturing native preparative electrophoresis, we obtained a homogeneous preparation of soluble serum DPPIV and compared it with a recombinant soluble CD26/DPPIV (rsCD26). We show that serum DPPIV is a monomer of 175 kDa in contrast to rsCD26 of 105-110 kDa, that it exists as a trimer, and that it is probably a serine proteinase. Deglycosylation removed N-linked sugar from both serum DPPIV and rsCD26; no O-linked glycosylation was observed, revealing a protein core of 130 kDa for serum DPPIV. The large serum form expresses functional DPPIV activity with substrate and inhibitor specificities and pH activity profile similar to those of rsCD26. Epitope analysis showed that monoclonal antibodies against five epitopes expressed by rsCD26 also bound, but more weakly, with serum DPPIV. Analysis of peptides after limiting proteolysis and N-terminal sequences reveals no homology with rsCD26 but some identity with other peptidases. Unlike rsCD26, the serum form does not bind ADA-1 and has no ADA-1 already associated with it. Similarly to rsCD26, serum DPPIV is a potent T cell costimulator. We conclude that the serum form of DPPIV is unique and is not a breakdown product of membrane CD26. The conservation of DPPIV activity and five epitopes specific to rsCD26 suggest, however, a significant structural similarity.

The T-cell activation antigen CD26, is a type II membrane glycoprotein with intrinsic dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (DPP IV) activity, characterized by its capacity to cleave off N-terminal dipeptides containing proline as the penultimate residue. Independent of its catalytic activity, CD26 has also been characterized as adenosine deaminase binding protein. By using CD26 negative human C8166 cells, here we describe the existence of another cell-surface protein which manifests CD26-like DPP IV activity. For convenience, this protein will be referred to as DPP IV-beta. Consistent with the cell-surface expression of DPP IV-beta, intact C8166 cells manifested a high level of DPP IV, whereas, they manifested poor activity against substrates of DPP II known to have an intracellular localization. A partially purified preparation of CD26 from human MOLT4 cells, and the DPP IV-beta expressed on intact cells were found to possess similar catalytic activity and pH optimum. In addition, cell-surface CD26 and DPP IV-beta on intact MOLT4 and C8166 cells, respectively, resisted digestion by proteolytic enzymes such as trypsin and proteinase K. However, adenosine deaminase activity was not detectable on the surface of C8166 cells in contrast to CD26 positive MOLT4 cells. In accord with this, 125I-labeled adenosine deaminase which binds CD26 was found not to bind DPP IV-beta. Gel-filtration experiments using 0.5% Triton X-100 extracts from C8166 and MOLT4 cells, revealed that the apparent molecular mass of DPP IV-beta is 82 kDa, whereas that of CD26 is 110 kDa as expected. Taken together, our results suggest that DPP IV-beta is a CD26-like protein which could be characterized by distinct properties.

Human adenosine deaminase (ADA) occurs as a 41-kDa soluble monomer in all cells. On epithelia and lymphoid cells of humans, but not mice, ADA also occurs bound to the membrane glycoprotein CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase IV. This "ecto-ADA" has been postulated to regulate extracellular Ado levels, and also the function of CD26 as a co-stimulator of activated T cells. The CD26-binding site of human ADA has been localized by homolog scanning to the peripheral alpha2-helix (amino acids 126-143). Among the 5 non-conserved residues within this segment, Arg-142 in human and Gln-142 in mouse ADA largely determined the capacity for stable binding to CD26 (Richard, E., Arredondo-Vega, F. X., Santisteban, I., Kelly, S. J., Patel, D. D., and Hershfield, M. S. (2000) J. Exp. Med. 192, 1223-1235). We have now mutagenized conserved alpha2-helix residues in human and mouse ADA and used surface plasmon resonance to evaluate binding kinetics to immobilized rabbit CD26. In addition to Arg-142, we found that Glu-139 and Asp-143 of human ADA are also important for CD26 binding. Mutating these residues to alanine increased dissociation rates 6-11-fold and the apparent dissociation constant K(D) for wild type human ADA from 17 to 112-160 nm, changing binding free energy by 1.1-1.3 kcal/mol. This cluster of 3 charged residues appears to be a "functional epitope" that accounts for about half of the difference between human and mouse ADA in free energy of binding to CD26.

The specific binding of adenosine deaminase to the multifunctional membrane glycoprotein dipeptidyl peptidase IV is thought to be immunologically relevant for certain regulatory and co-stimulatory processes. In this study we present the 3D structure of the complete CD26-ADA complex obtained by single particle cryo-EM at 22A resolution. ADA binding occurs at the outer edges of the beta-propeller of CD26. Docking calculations of available CD26 and ADA crystal data into the obtained EM density map revealed that the ADA-binding site is stretched across CD26 beta-propeller blades 4 and 5 involving the outermost distal hydrophobic amino acids L294 and V341 but not T440 and K441 as suggested by antibody binding. Though the docking of the ADA orientation appears less significant due to the lack of distinct surface features, non-ambiguous conclusions can be drawn in the combination with earlier indirect non-imaging methods affirming the crucial role of the ADA alpha2-helix for binding.

Dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (DPPIV or CD26) is a homodimeric type II membrane glycoprotein in which the two monomers are subdivided into a beta-propeller domain and an alpha/beta-hydrolase domain. As dipeptidase, DPPIV modulates the activity of various biologically important peptides and, in addition, DPPIV acts as a receptor for adenosine deaminase (ADA), thereby mediating co-stimulatory signals in T-lymphocytes. The 3.0-A resolution crystal structure of the complex formed between human DPPIV and bovine ADA presented here shows that each beta-propeller domain of the DPPIV dimer binds one ADA. At the binding interface, two hydrophobic loops protruding from the beta-propeller domain of DPPIV interact with two hydrophilic and heavily charged alpha-helices of ADA, giving rise to the highest percentage of charged residues involved in a protein-protein contact reported thus far. Additionally, four glycosides linked to Asn229 of DPPIV bind to ADA. In the crystal structure of porcine DPPIV, the observed tetramer formation was suggested to mediate epithelial and lymphocyte cell-cell adhesion. ADA binding to DPPIV could regulate this adhesion, as it would abolish tetramerization.

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV or CD26) is a multifunctional membrane glycoprotein. As an exopeptidase it regulates the activity of a series of biologically important peptides. Through its interaction with specific proteins and peptides, DPPIV is also involved in a wide range of biologically relevant processes such as cell adhesion, T cell activation and apoptosis. In this paper, we review our recent studies on the interactions of DPPIV with adenosine deaminase (ADA) and the transcription transactivator of the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1 Tat) as revealed by three-dimensional structure reconstructed by single particle analysis of cryo-electron microscopy (EM) and crystal structures of the human DPPIV-bovine ADA complex as well as the crystal structures of DPPIV in complex with HIV-1 Tat-derived nonapeptides. These results contribute importantly to the clarification of the molecular mechanisms of this multifunctional protein. The biological relevance of these interactions is discussed.
