Abstract excerpt
Nine integrin alpha subunits contain an 'inserted' or I-domain, known to involve in ligand binding. Mutation of an invariant isoleucine residue in the I-domains of alphaL and alphaM has previously been reported to activate LFA-1 and Mac-1, respectively. In this article, we report notable differences in the regulation of adhesion of these two integrins. We find that mutation of the isoleucine residue in the...
