Deletion of the third FNIII domain increases the accessibility to the fourth FNIII domain. (a) Model for control of L1 proteolysis by conformational changes within the FNIII domains. (b) The accessibility of an antibody targeting the membrane proximal fourth FNIII domain for deletion mutants of L1cam in which the first three FNIII domains were deleted individually was analyzed by flow cytometry. The ratio of the mean fluorescence intensity for cells stained with an antibody targeting the fourth FNIII domain (UJ127-11) was given relative to the mean fluorescence intensity obtained for an antibody targeting the second Ig-domain in the N-terminal (5G3). Mean values +/− SEM for at least three independent experiments are plotted. Example histograms and dot-plots are displayed in Supplemental Fig. 4. Statistical significance was assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test.
