Abstract excerpt
The presented work describes a structural model for integrin homooligomerization, focusing on the transmembrane domains. The two noncovalently linked integrin subunits, alpha and beta, were previously shown to homodimerize or homotrimerize, respectively. Our work is based on published mutational work that induced homotrimerization of beta3 integrins. The mutations provided structural restraints for the creation...
