Description Binding of GlcNAc to dimeric human CD69 was followed by equilibrium dialysis, fluorescence titration, and NMR. Clear cooperativity in high affinity binding to two subunits was observed (Hill coefficient 1.94), and binding of the ligand was connected with opening of dimer structure. However, monomeric CD69 obtained by mutating Q93 and R134 at dimer interface showed much lower affinity and no cooperativity (Hill coefficient 1.07). Perturbation of dimer interface resulted in severe impairment of the signaling ability of cellular CD69 cross-linked with antibodies or a bivalent high affinity N-acetylhexosamine-based ligand.
