The ability of adhesion receptors to transmit biochemical signals and, mechanical force across cell membranes depends on interactions with the, actin cytoskeleton. Filamins are large, actin-crosslinking proteins that, connect multiple transmembrane and signaling proteins to the cytoskeleton., Here, we describe the high-resolution structure of an interface between, filamin A and an integrin adhesion receptor. When bound, the integrin beta, cytoplasmic tail forms an extended beta strand that interacts with beta, strands C and D of the filamin immunoglobulin-like domain (IgFLN) 21. This, interface is common to many integrins, and we suggest it is a prototype, for other IgFLN domain interactions. Notably, the structurally defined, filamin binding site overlaps with that of the integrin-regulator talin, and these proteins compete for binding to integrin tails, allowing, integrin-filamin interactions to impact talin-dependent integrin, activation. Phosphothreonine-mimicking mutations inhibit filamin, but not, talin, binding, indicating that kinases may modulate this competition and, provide additional means to control integrin functions. | The ability of adhesion receptors to transmit biochemical signals and, mechanical force across cell membranes depends on interactions with the, actin cytoskeleton.
