Interactions between leukocyte function-associated
antigen-1 (LFA-1) with its cognate ligand, intercellular adhesion
molecule-1 (ICAM-1) play a crucial role in leukocyte adhesion. Because
the cell and its adhesive components are subject to external
perturbation from the surrounding flow of blood, it is important to
understand the binding properties of the LFA-1/ICAM-1 interaction in
both steady state and in the presence of an external pulling force. Here we report on atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements of the
unbinding of LFA-1 from ICAM-1. The single molecule measurements revealed the energy landscape corresponding to the dissociation of the
LFA-1/ICAM-1 complex and provided the basis for defining the energetic
determinants of the complex at equilibrium and under the influence of
an external force. The AFM force measurements were performed in an
experimental system consisting of an LFA-1-expressing T cell hybridoma,
3A9, attached to the end of the AFM cantilever and an apposing surface
expressing ICAM-1. In measurements covering three orders of magnitude
change in force loading rate, the LFA-1/ICAM-1 force spectrum (i.e.,
unbinding force versus loading rate) revealed a fast and a slow loading
regime that characterized a steep inner activation barrier and a wide
outer activation barrier, respectively. The addition of
Mg2+, a cofactor that stabilizes the LFA-1/ICAM-1
interaction, elevated the unbinding force of the complex in the slow
loading regime. In contrast, the presence of EDTA suppressed the inner
barrier of the LFA-1/ICAM-1 complex. These results suggest that the
equilibrium dissociation constant of the LFA-1/ICAM-1 interaction is
regulated by the energetics of the outer activation barrier of the
complex, while the ability of the complex to resist a pulling force is determined by the divalent cation-dependent inner activation barrier.
