Integrin αIIbβ3 Transmembrane Domain Separation Mediates Bi-Directional Signaling across the Plasma Membrane
Integrins play an essential role in hemostasis, thrombosis, and cell migration, and they transmit bidirectional signals. Transmembrane/cytoplasmic domains are hypothesized to associate in the resting integrins; whereas, ligand binding and intracellular activating signals induce transmembrane domain separation. However, how this conformational change affects integrin outside-in signaling and whe...
متن کاملStructural basis for integrin αIIbβ3 clustering
We have expressed two proteins that correspond to the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of integrin αIIb and β3 subunits. Characterization of these proteins, dispersed in anionic and zwitterionic micelles, revealed that, rather than interacting with each other, the two proteins associated into homodimers and homotrimers respectively. Moreover, studies using the TOXCAT assay system confirmed...
متن کاملSkelemin in Integrin αIIbβ3 Mediated Cell Spreading
Skelemin, a myosin-associated protein in skeletal muscle, has been demonstrated to interact with integrin α(IIb)β(3) in nonmuscle cells during initial stages of cell spreading. The significance of this interaction and the role of skelemin in integrin signaling and cytoskeletal reorganization were investigated in this study. We established a series of Chinese hamster ovary cell lines expressing ...
متن کاملOn the activation of integrin αIIbβ3: outside-in and inside-out pathways.
Integrin αIIbβ3 is a member of the integrin family of transmembrane proteins present on the plasma membrane of platelets. Integrin αIIbβ3 is widely known to regulate the process of thrombosis via activation at its cytoplasmic side by talin and interaction with the soluble fibrinogen. It is also reported that three groups of interactions restrain integrin family members in the inactive state, in...
متن کاملCoordinate interactions of Csk, Src, and Syk kinases with αIIbβ3 initiate integrin signaling to the cytoskeleton
Integrins regulate cell adhesion and motility through tyrosine kinases, but initiation of this process is poorly understood. We find here that Src associates constitutively with integrin alphaIIbbeta3 in platelets. Platelet adhesion to fibrinogen caused a rapid increase in alphaIIbbeta3-associated Src activity, and active Src localized to filopodia and cell edges. Csk, which negatively regulate...
