N2 - IαI and TSG-6 interact to form a covalent bond between the C-terminal Asp α-carbon of an IαI heavy chain (HC) and an unknown component of TSG-6. This event disrupts the protein-glycosaminoglycan-protein (PGP) cross-link and dissociates IαI. In simple terms the interaction involves 5 components: (i) the IαI HCs, (ii) bikunin, (iii) chondroitin sulfate chain, (iv) TSG-6, and (v) divalent cations. To understand the molecular mechanism of complex formation, the effect of these were separately examined. The data show that although the mature covalent cross-link between the HCs and TSG-6 only involves the C-terminal Asp residue, the native fold of both IαI and TSG-6 was essential for the reaction to occur. Similarly, complex formation was prevented if the chondroitin sulfate chain was cleaved, releasing bikunin but maintaining the HC1 and HC2 PGP cross-links. In contrast, releasing the majority of the bikunin protein moiety by limited proteolysis did not prevent complex formation. An analysis of the divalent-cation requirements revealed two distinct interactions between IαI and TSG-6: (i) a noncovalent manganese, magnesium, or calcium-independent interaction between TSG-6 and the chondroitin sulfate chain (Kd 180 nM) and (ii) a covalent manganese, magnesium, or calcium-dependent interaction generating HC1·TSG-6, HC2·TSG-6, and high molecular weight (HMW) IαI. Significantly, both free TSG-6 and HC·TSG-6 complexes were able to bind the chondroitin sulfate chain suggesting that the sites on TSG-6 were distinct. On the basis of these findings, we propose a two-step reaction mechanism involving two putative binding sites. Initially, a cation-independent interaction between TSG-6 and the chondroitin sulfate chain is formed at site 1. Subsequently, a cation-dependent transesterification occurs, generating the covalent HC·TSG-6 cross-link at another site, site 2.
