Abstract
The structural basis for the divalent cation-dependent binding of heterodimeric alphabeta integrins to their ligands, which contain the prototypical Arg-Gly-Asp sequence, is unknown. Interaction with ligands triggers tertiary and quaternary structural rearrangements in integrins that are needed for cell signaling. Here we report the crystal structure of the extracellular segment of integrin alphaVbeta3 in complex with a cyclic peptide presenting the Arg-Gly-Asp sequence. The ligand binds at the major interface between the alphaV and beta3 subunits and makes extensive contacts with both. Both tertiary and quaternary changes are observed in the presence of ligand. The tertiary rearrangements take place in betaA, the ligand-binding domain of beta3; in the complex, betaA acquires two cations, one of which contacts the ligand Asp directly and the other stabilizes the ligand-binding surface. Ligand binding induces small changes in the orientation of alphaV relative to beta3.
Figure 2.
Fig. 2. The ligand-integrin binding site. (A) Surface representation of the ligand-binding site, with the ligand peptide shown as ball-and-stick model. Color code for the ligand and the two visible Mn2+ ions (MIDAS and ADMIDAS) is as in Fig. 1. (B) Interactions between ligand and integrin. The peptide (yellow) and residues interacting with the ligand or with Mn2+ ions are shown in ball-and-stick representation. V and 3 residues are labeled blue and red, respectively. Oxygen and nitrogen atoms are in red and blue, respectively. The three Mn2+ ions in 3 at MIDAS, ADMIDAS, and LIMBS are also shown. Hydrogen bonds and salt bridges (distance cutoff, 3.5 Å) are represented with dotted lines.

Fig. 3. Diagram of the MIDAS motif in A (A and B) and A from CD11b (C and D). (A) and (B) MIDAS residues (single letter abbreviations: S, Ser; E, Glu; D, Asp; T, Thr) in unliganded (A) and liganded (B) A. Coordinating side chains are shown in ball-and-stick representations with oxygen atoms in red, carbon in green; the ligand aspartate is in gold. In addition to the ligand aspartate, the Mn2+ (cyan) in the A MIDAS is coordinated directly with the hydroxyl oxygens of Ser121 and Ser123 and with one carboxylate oxygen from Glu220. The carboxyl oxygens of Asp119 and Asp251 of A lie within 6Å of the metal ion and likely mediate additional contacts through water molecules similar to the liganded forms of A (D). The Mn2+ ion at ADMIDAS (magenta) is present in (A) and (B). The Mn2+ ions at MIDAS and at LIMBS (cyan and gray, respectively) are only present in (B). (C) and (D) MIDAS residues in unliganded (C) and liganded (D) A from CD11b. The metal ion (cyan) is present in both. Water molecules are labeled ; the pseudoligand glutamate is in gold. Hydrogen bonds and metal ion coordination are represented with dotted yellow lines.
