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 کاملThe structure of the integrin alphaIIbbeta3 transmembrane complex explains integrin transmembrane signalling.
Heterodimeric integrin adhesion receptors regulate cell migration, survival and differentiation in metazoa by communicating signals bi-directionally across the plasma membrane. Protein engineering and mutagenesis studies have suggested that the dissociation of a complex formed by the single-pass transmembrane (TM) segments of the alpha and beta subunits is central to these signalling events. He...
متن کاملThe structure of the integrin aIIbb3 transmembrane complex explains integrin transmembrane signalling
Heterodimeric integrin adhesion receptors regulate cell migration, survival and differentiation in metazoa by communicating signals bi-directionally across the plasma membrane. Protein engineering and mutagenesis studies have suggested that the dissociation of a complex formed by the single-pass transmembrane (TM) segments of the a and b subunits is central to these signalling events. Here, we ...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Structure of the Integrin αIIb Transmembrane Segment
Integrin cell-adhesion receptors transduce signals bidirectionally across the plasma membrane via the single-pass transmembrane segments of each and subunit. While the 3 transmembrane segment consists of a linear 29-residue -helix, the structure of the IIb transmembrane segment reveals a linear 24-residue -helix (Ile-966–Lys-989) followed by a backbone reversal that packs Phe-992–Phe-993 agains...
