Two CEACAM1 isoforms with different cytoplasmic domains, CEACAM1-L and CEACAM1-S, are unequally distributed in polarized epithelial MDCK cells. CEACAM1-S is exclusively apical whereas CEACAM1-L occurs both in apical and lateral cell surfaces. Using confocal microscopy and CEACAM1-L mutants, we identified several amino acids in the cytoplasmic domain that were instrumental for the lateral localization. Tyr515, but not Tyr488, constituted a prominent lateral targeting signal. Pervanadate-stimulated Tyr phosphorylation induced rapid phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent disappearance of lateral CEACAM1-L, whereas staurosporine, a Ser/Thr kinase inhibitor, resulted in slower phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-independent disappearance. Both drugs caused accumulation of CEACAM1-L in a late endosome/lysosome compartment. Colocalization studies of occludin, ZO-1, E-cadherin, ß-catenin and desmoplakin indicated that laterally localized CEACAM1-L was present in adherens junctions but not in tight junctions or desmosomes. Overexpressed CEACAM1-L did not affect the organization of tight junction or adherens junction proteins, but perturbed the arrangement of desmosomes. The abundance of desmosomes in the lateral cell surfaces decreased significantly and the submembraneous cytokeratin filaments became disorganized. The signal for desmosomal perturbance resided within amino acids 484-518 in the C-terminal part of the cytoplasmic domain, among which an intact Tyr515 was indispensable.
