Crystal Structure of the Extracellular Segment of Integrin alpha Vbeta 3

Jian-Ping Xiong,1 Thilo Stehle,12 Beate Diefenbach,3 Rongguang Zhang,4 Reinhardt Dunker,3 David L. Scott,1 Andrzej Joachimiak,4 Simon L. Goodman,3 M. Amin Arnaout1*

Integrins are alpha beta 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 alpha Vbeta 3 at 3.1 Å resolution. Its 12 domains assemble into an ovoid "head" and two "tails." In the crystal, alpha Vbeta 3 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 alpha V and an A domain from beta 3, and bears a striking resemblance to the Galpha /Gbeta interface in G proteins. A metal ion-dependent adhesion site (MIDAS) in the beta A domain is positioned to participate in a ligand-binding interface formed of loops from the propeller and beta A domains. MIDAS lies adjacent to a calcium-binding site with a potential regulatory function.
