alpha(9)beta(1) integrin is a member of the beta(1) integrin family, plays an important role in extravasation of neutrophils at sites of acute inflammation, and is required for the normal development of the lymphatic system. The alpha(9) and alpha(4) integrin subunits are most closely related and form a subfamily of integrin alpha subunits. Previously, we have reported that the alpha(4) cytoplasmic domain directly and tightly binds paxillin, an intracellular signaling adaptor molecule. This interaction accounts for some of the unusual functional responses to alpha(4) integrin-mediated cell adhesion, including stimulation of cell migration and inhibition of cell spreading and focal adhesion formation. In the current studies, we have examined the interaction between the alpha(9) cytoplasmic domain and paxillin. Here we report that the alpha(9) cytoplasmic domain binds paxillin directly and tightly and that the alpha(9)-paxillin association inhibits cell spreading. We have identified amino acid residues in the alpha(9) cytoplasmic domain, Trp(999) and Trp(1001), that are critical for paxillin binding, and alanine substitution of either Trp(999) or Trp(1001) blocks paxillin binding. Furthermore, these mutations also reverse the effect of the alpha(9) cytoplasmic domain on cell spreading. Thus, the alpha(9) and alpha(4) integrin subunits form a paxillin-binding subfamily of integrin alpha subunits, and direct binding of paxillin to the alpha(9) cytoplasmic domain mediates some of the biological activities of the alpha(9)beta(1) integrin.
