They recognize the sequence R-G-D in a wide array of ligands. In case of HIV-1 infection, the interaction with extracellular viral Tat protein seems to enhance angiogenesis in Kaposi's sarcoma lesions. Publication Abstract from PubMed Integrins are adhesion receptors that transmit force across the plasma membrane between extracellular ligands and the actin cytoskeleton. In activation of the transforming growth factor-beta1 precursor (pro-TGF-beta1), integrins bind to the prodomain, apply force, and release the TGF-beta growth factor. However, we know little about how integrins bind macromolecular ligands in the extracellular matrix or transmit force to them. Here we show how integrin alphaVbeta6 binds pro-TGF-beta1 in an orientation biologically relevant for force-dependent release of TGF-beta from latency. The conformation of the prodomain integrin-binding motif differs in the presence and absence of integrin binding; differences extend well outside the interface and illustrate how integrins can remodel extracellular matrix. Remodelled residues outside the interface stabilize the integrin-bound conformation, adopt a conformation similar to earlier-evolving family members, and show how macromolecular components outside the binding motif contribute to integrin recognition. Regions in and outside the highly interdigitated interface stabilize a specific integrin/pro-TGF-beta orientation that defines the pathway through these macromolecules which actin-cytoskeleton-generated tensile force takes when applied through the integrin beta-subunit. Simulations of force-dependent activation of TGF-beta demonstrate evolutionary specializations for force application through the TGF-beta prodomain and through the beta- and not alpha-subunit of the integrin.
