Localized Lipid Packing of Transmembrane Domains Impedes Integrin Clustering
Integrin clustering plays a pivotal role in a host of cell functions. Hetero-dimeric integrin adhesion receptors regulate cell migration, survival, and differentiation by communicating signals bidirectionally across the plasma membrane. Thus far, crystallographic structures of integrin components are solved only separately, and for some integrin types. Also, the sequence of interactions that le...
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 کاملGenetic analysis of β1 integrin “activation motifs” in mice
Akey feature of integrins is their ability to regulate the affinity for ligands, a process termed integrin activation. The final step in integrin activation is talin binding to the NPXY motif of the integrin beta cytoplasmic domains. Talin binding disrupts the salt bridge between the alpha/beta tails, leading to tail separation and integrin activation. We analyzed mice in which we mutated the t...
متن کاملThe NPIY motif in the integrin b1 tail dictates the requirement for talin-1 in outside-in signaling
Introduction Integrins comprise a large family of a/b-heterodimeric receptors that mediate cell adhesion to components of the extracellular matrix. Integrins form transmembrane links with the actin cytoskeleton and activate cytoplasmic signaling cascades to promote cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, survival and differentiation (Gahmberg et al., 2009; Hynes, 2002). By regulating these cel...
