The Yersinia pseudotuberculosis invasin protein is a 986-amino acid protein that promotes bacterial penetration into mammalian cells by avidly binding multiple beta 1-chain integrins. A 192-amino acid carboxyl-terminal domain of invasin was previously shown to be sufficient for binding. Evidence is presented here that a 76-amino acid disulfide loop in the integrin binding domain of invasin is required for invasin-mediated cell binding and entry. Bacterial mutants that were altered at either of 2 cysteine residues in the binding domain of invasin were completely defective for entry. Purified invasin protein derivatives altered at either of these cysteines, in contrast to the wild-type invasin, did not promote either cell binding or penetration. Analysis of proteolytic products of invasin in the presence or absence of reducing agent provided evidence of an intra-chain disulfide bond near the carboxyl terminus of the protein. Alkylation of invasin derivatives with [3H]iodoacetate indicated that these 2 cysteines were normally disulfide-bonded. A treatment that resulted in the maximal reduction of the disulfide bond also resulted in maximal loss of cell attachment activity. These results indicate that the 76-amino acid disulfide loop at the carboxyl terminus of invasin is required for recognition by integrins.
