Abstract excerpt
The membrane proximal α helix of integrin β subunit cytoplasmic tails plays an important functional role by interacting with various intracellular proteins, namely talin, α-actinin or skelemin. This study was designed to investigate the functional role of 5 highly conserved charged amino acids (R(724), K(725), E(726), E(731), E(733)) within this α helix by site-directed mutagenesis. The result showed that CHO...
