Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The extracellular matrix critically controls cell behaviour. Many cell-matrix interactions are mediated by transmembrane receptors of the integrin family. In the last two years, the structural changes resulting from ligand binding to integrins alpha 5 beta 1, alpha v beta 3 and alpha llb beta 3 have been mapped in unprecedented detail. The structure of integrin alpha X beta 2 has revealed how ligand binding to the alpha I domain is transmitted to the rest of the ectodomain. The structural characterisation of the cytosolic regulator talin has been continued, revealing how the integrin binding site is blocked in auto-inhibited talin. Finally, structures of the discoidin domain receptors DDR1 and DDR2 have begun to reveal how these atypical receptor tyrosine kinases become activated by the major matrix component collagen.
