Poliovirus receptor (PVR) is a cell surface glycoprotein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. Although MPH was initially reported as the mouse homolog of human PVR, recent data strongly suggest that MPH is the mouse homolog of human PRR2, a PVR-related gene 2 product, and not that of human PVR. Thus MPH is renamed mPRR2 in this study. Physiological functions of the PVR-related gene products have not been elucidated, although PVR has been well characterized as the poliovirus receptor. In this study, a possible function of mPRR2 (MPH), which is not a functional receptor for poliovirus, was investigated. Mouse L cells expressing mPRR2 were prepared. Those mouse cells showed a higher activity of cell aggregation than the parental mouse L cells. Enhancement of cell aggregation was also observed for insect Sf9 cells infected with recombinant baculovirus carrying mPRR2 cDNA. On the other hand, L cells expressing human PVR or monkey PVR (AGM alpha1 or AGM alpha2) did not show increased cell aggregation. The cell aggregation activity of L cells expressing mPRR2 was inhibited by the addition of anti-mPRR2 monoclonal antibodies or a soluble mPRR2 molecule produced by the baculovirus expression system. An immunofluorescence study revealed that mPRR2 protein was localized to the cell-cell contact sites between cells expressing mPRR2. A similar localization of mPRR2 was observed for intrinsic mPRR2 molecules of the mouse neuroblastoma cell line NS20Y. The contact site-specific localization of mPRR2 was not observed on the border between mPRR2-expressing and nonexpressing HeLa cells. Furthermore, mPRR2 proteins directly bound to each other in vitro. mPRR2 was detected on various types of cultured cells of mouse origin and in various mouse tissues. These results suggest that mPRR2 is an intercellular adhesion molecule with a homophilic binding manner.
