Abstract
Integrins are alphabeta heterodimeric receptors that mediate divalent cation-dependent cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion through tightly regulated interactions with ligands. We have solved the crystal structure of the extracellular portion of integrin alphaVbeta3 at 3.1 A resolution. Its 12 domains assemble into an ovoid "head" and two "tails." In the crystal, alphaVbeta3 is severely bent at a defined region in its tails, reflecting an unusual flexibility that may be linked to integrin regulation. The main inter-subunit interface lies within the head, between a seven-bladed beta-propeller from alphaV and an A domain from beta3, and bears a striking resemblance to the Galpha/Gbeta interface in G proteins. A metal ion-dependent adhesion site (MIDAS) in the betaA domain is positioned to participate in a ligand-binding interface formed of loops from the propeller and betaA domains. MIDAS lies adjacent to a calcium-binding site with a potential regulatory function.
Figure 4.
Fig. 4. (left). Architecture of integrin and G protein interfaces. The nucleotidebinding folds are in green, and the propellers are in gray. The integrin is shown in (A) and (B) and the G protein in (C) and (D). The helices at the core of each interface are indicated. Integrin's Arg261 and G protein's Lys210 project toward the respective propeller's central cavity. G (Ala^30-Leu348) and G (Ser2-Asn340) are shown. G protein coordinates were from (33).

Fig. 5. (right). Surface representation, done with GRASP (42), of the main V 3 interface in the head region. Contacting residues (distance cutoff 3.5 Å for hydrogen bonds and salt bridges, and 4.0 Å for van der Waals contacts) are shown. Arg261 is in blue. Hydrophobic, ionic, and mixed contacts are in yellow, red, and orange, respectively. The 3 strands and helices contributing to the interface are indicated.
