Summary The β7 integrins α4β7 and Eβ7 play key roles in forming the gut-associated lymphoid tissue, and contribute to chronic inflammation. The α4β7 integrin-mediated adhesion of activated lymphocytes is largely due to a transient increase in avidity from ligand-induced clustering of α4β7 at the cell-surface. Here, we report that L and D enantiomers of a cell-permeable peptide YDRREY encompassing residues 735-740 of the cytoplasmic tail of the β7 subunit inhibit the adhesion of T cells to β7 integrin ligands. The YDRREY peptide abrogated mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1-induced clustering of α4β7 on the surface of activated T cells. A mutated form of the YDRREY peptide carrying either single or double conservative mutations at Tyr735Phe and Tyr740Phe was unable to inhibit T cell adhesion, suggesting that both tandem tyrosines are critical for activity. The YDRREY peptide was bound and phosphorylated by focal adhesion kinase and src, which may serve to sequester cytoskeletal proteins to the cytoplasmic domain of 4β7. The quasi-palindromic sequence YDRREY within the β7 cytoplasmic tail constitutes a cell adhesion regulatory domain that modulates the interaction of β7-expressing leukocytes with their endothelial and epithelial ligands. Cell-permeable peptidomimetics based on this motif have utility as anti-inflammatory reagents for the treatment of chronic inflammatory disease.
