Integrin activation - the importance of a positive feedback [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Integrins mediate cell adhesion and are essential receptors for the development and functioning of multicellular organisms. Integrin activation is known to require both ligand and talin binding and to correlate with cluster formation but the activation mechanism and precise roles of these processes are not yet resolved. Here mathematical modeling, with

Clustering of lipids driven by integrin [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Integrin is an important transmembrane receptor protein which remodels the actin network and anchors the cell membrane towards the extracellular matrix via mechanochemical pathways. The clustering of specific lipids and lipid-anchored proteins, which is essential for a certain type of endocytosis process, is facilitated at integrin-mediated active ...

A role for Syk-kinase in the control of the binding cycle of the β2 integrins (CD11/CD18) in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
A fine control of β2 integrin (CD11/CD18)-mediated firm adhesion of human neutrophils to the endothelial cell monolayer is required to allow ordered emigration.

Lipid-rafts remain stable even after ionizing radiation induced disintegration of β1 integrin containing focal adhesions

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2017
Objective Adhesion of cells to the extracellular matrix is facilitated by integrin receptors. We recently found that a nanoscale organization of plasma membrane located integrins containing the β1 subunit is responsible for an enhanced radio-resistance ...

Trop-2 inhibits prostate cancer cell adhesion to fibronectin through the β1 integrin-RACK1 axis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Trop-2 is a transmembrane glycoprotein upregulated in several human carcinomas, including prostate cancer (PrCa). Trop-2 has been suggested to regulate cell-cell adhesion, given its high homology with the other member of the Trop family, Trop-1/EpCAM ...

Biological and Clinical Consequences of Integrin Binding via a Rogue RGD Motif in the SARS CoV-2 Spike Protein

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Although ACE2 (angiotensin converting enzyme 2) is considered the primary receptor for CoV-2 cell entry, recent reports suggest that alternative pathways may contribute. This paper considers the hypothesis that viral binding to cell-surface integrins may

Evidence for a Functional Interaction between Integrins and G Protein-activated Inward Rectifier K+ Channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Heteromultimeric G protein-activated inward rectifier K+ (GIRK) channels, abundant in heart and brain, help to determine the cellular membrane potential as well as the frequency and duration of electrical impulses. The sequence arginine-glycine-aspartate

The Inflammatory Response After Ischemic Stroke: Targeting β2 and β1 Integrins

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability with limited therapeutic options. Resulting inflammatory mechanisms after reperfusion (removal of the thrombus) result in cytokine activation, calcium influx, and leukocytic infiltration to the ...

A computational analysis of the dynamic roles of talin, Dok1, and PIPKI for integrin activation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Integrin signaling regulates cell migration and plays a pivotal role in developmental processes and cancer metastasis. Integrin signaling has been studied extensively and much data is available on pathway components and interactions. Yet the data is fragmented and an integrated model is missing.

Integrin activation takes shape. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Integrins are cell surface adhesion receptors that are essential for the development and function of multicellular animals. Here we summarize recent findings on the regulation of integrin affinity for ligand (activation), one mechanism by which cells ...
