Abstract excerpt
The central region (residues 125-385) of the integrin beta(2) subunit is postulated to adopt an I-domain-like fold (the beta(2)I-domain) and to play a critical role in ligand binding and heterodimer formation. To understand structure-function relationships of this region of beta(2), a homolog-scanning mutagenesis approach, which entails substitution of nonconserved hydrophilic sequences within the beta(2)I-domain...
