• PubMed Abstract: 
  

Nectins are members of the Ig superfamily that mediate cell-cell adhesion through homophilic and heterophilic interactions. We have determined the crystal structure of the nectin-2 homodimer at 1.3 Å resolution. Structural analysis and complementary mutagenesis studies reveal the basis for recognition and selectivity among the nectin family members. Notably, the close proximity of charged residues at the dimer interface is a major determinant of the binding affinities associated with homophilic and heterophilic interactions within the nectin family. Our structural and biochemical data provide a mechanistic basis to explain stronger heterophilic versus weaker homophilic interactions among these family members and also offer insights into nectin-mediated transinteractions between engaging cells.
