Journal ArticleDOI
Global Conformational Rearrangements in Integrin Extracellular Domains in Outside-In and Inside-Out Signaling
TL;DR: It is shown that a highly bent integrin conformation is physiological and has low affinity for biological ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural basis for allostery in integrins and binding to fibrinogen-mimetic therapeutics
TL;DR: The atomic basis for allosteric regulation of the conformation and affinity for ligand of the integrin ectodomain is defined, and how fibrinogen-mimetic therapeutics bind to platelet integrin αIIbβ3 is defined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conformational Regulation of Integrin Structure and Function
TL;DR: These long-range structural rearrangements of the entire integrin molecule involving multiple interdomain contacts appear closely linked to conformational changes in the I domain, which result in increased affinity and competence for ligand binding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structures of the αL I Domain and Its Complex with ICAM-1 Reveal a Shape-Shifting Pathway for Integrin Regulation

TL;DR: Liganded and unliganded structures for both high- and intermediate-affinity mutant I domains reveal that ligand binding can induce conformational change in the alpha L I domain and that allosteric signals can convert the closed conformation to intermediate or open conformations without ligandbinding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrin activation and structural rearrangement.
TL;DR: These long‐range structural rearrangements of the entire integrin molecule involving interdomain contacts appear closely linked to conformational changes within the I and I‐like domains, which result in increased affinity and competence for ligand binding.
