Figure 4. Structure-Based Mutagenesis of the TalinAt left, binding of talin mutants to full-length β3 tail. Recombinant F2+F3 containing the indicated mutation was incubated with the integrin β3 cytoplasmic domain model protein; following washing, the bound protein was detected by SDS-PAGE. Note the absence of binding to β3(Y747A) and αIIb cytoplasmic domain model proteins and the equal loading (rightmost column) of each mutant. The bottom row depicts the equal loading of each model tail protein as judged by SDS-PAGE. At right, residues mutated in this study are mapped onto the surface of the talin F3 domain, with hydrophobic residues colored yellow. The K357A mutation (green) does not affect binding, while alanine substitution of R358, W359, and I396 (red) reduce binding.
