Erythrocyte membrane skeletal protein 4.1 isoforms have been identified in a variety of non-erythroid cells. However, interactions between protein 4.1 and its binding partners in non-erythroid cell membranes are poorly understood. In the erythrocyte membrane, protein 4.1 binds to the cytoplasmic domain of band 3 and, through this interaction, modulates ankyrin binding to band 3. The sequences LRRRY or IRRRY in band 3 mediate the interaction between band 3 and protein 4.1. The cytoplasmic domain of CD44, a transmembrane glycoprotein found in erythroid as well as non-erythroid cells, has internal sequences SRRRC and QKKKL. We wanted to determine if protein 4.1 binds to CD44 in a fashion analogous to its binding to band 3 and through this interaction modulates ankyrin binding to CD44. We report here that protein 4.1 binds to the cytoplasmic domain of CD44 with a dissociation constant on the order of 10(-7) M and that Ca2+ and calmodulin reduce the affinity of this interaction. Furthermore, although independent binding of both protein 4.1 and ankyrin to CD44 could be documented, binding of protein 4.1 prevented subsequent ankyrin binding. These studies have enabled us to identify a potentially important functional role for protein 4.1 in modulating ankyrin binding to CD44.
