Proteolytic processing of endogenous and recombinant beta 4 integrin subunit
The alpha 6 beta 4 integrin is a receptor involved in the interaction of epithelial cells with basement membranes. This integrin is unique among the known integrins in that its beta 4 subunit has a large cytoplasmic domain. The function of this cytoplasmic domain is not known. In this paper we show that the beta 4 subunit undergoes proteolytic processing in cultured cells and provide evidence t...
متن کاملBeta 3-endonexin, a novel polypeptide that interacts specifically with the cytoplasmic tail of the integrin beta 3 subunit
The adhesive and signaling functions of integrins are regulated through their cytoplasmic domains. We identified a novel 111 residue polypeptide, designated beta 3-endonexin, that interacted with the cytoplasmic tail of the beta 3 integrin subunit in a yeast two-hybrid system. This interaction is structurally specific, since it was reduced by 64% by a point mutation in the beta 3 cytoplasmic ta...
متن کاملIntegrin distribution in malignant melanoma: association of the beta 3 subunit with tumor progression.
Since tumor progression is dependent on the ability of malignant cells to interact with the extracellular matrix, molecules on the cell surface which mediate cell-substratum interactions are likely to be important regulators of tumor invasion and metastasis. The purpose of this study was to examine the distribution of one such group of cell adhesion receptors, the integrins, in benign and malig...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and expression of the cDNA for alpha 3 subunit of human alpha 3 beta 1 (VLA-3), an integrin receptor for fibronectin, laminin, and collagen
alpha 3 beta 1 (VLA-3), a member of the integrin family of cell adhesion receptors, may function as a receptor for fibronectin, laminin, and collagen. A partial cDNA clone (2.4 kb) for the human alpha 3 subunit was selected from an endothelial cell lambda gt11 cDNA library by specific antibody screening. Several overlapping cDNA clones were subsequently obtained, of a total length of 4.6 kb fro...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of a novel integrin beta3 subunit.
We have identified a novel integrin beta3 subunit, termed beta3C, from a human osteoclast cDNA library. The COOH-terminal sequence and 3'-untranslated region of the beta3C subunit differs from the previously reported beta3A (platelet) and beta3B (placenta) sequences, while the regions coding for the transmembrane and extracellular domains are identical. The beta3C cytoplasmic domain contains 37...
