Paxillin Binding to a Conserved Sequence Motif in the α4 Integrin Cytoplasmic Domain
1 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
alpha(4)beta(1) integrin-mediated cell adhesion results in increased cell migration, reduced cell spreading, and focal adhesion formation relative to other beta(1) integrins. Paxillin, a signaling adapter protein, binds tightly to the alpha(4) cytoplasmic domain and is implicated in alpha(4) integrin signaling. We now report the mapping of a paxillin-binding site in the alpha(4) cytoplasmic domain and an...
