Abstract

Cadherins are a family of Ca2+‐dependent cell adhesion molecules containing four extracellular tandem repeats each of 110 amino acids. The most amino‐terminal repeat is believed to confer the specificity of cell adhesion. A polypeptide containing the amino‐terminal repeat of mouse epithelial cadherin has been over‐expressed in E. coli and purified to homogeneity. This polypeptide binds Ca2+ with a dissociation constant of 1.6 × 10−4M. CD and NMR experiments indicate that the polypeptide adopts a predominantly β‐sheet conformation and that binding of Ca2+ induces only small conformational changes.
