Abstract

The integrin alphaVbeta6 binds and activates latent TGFbeta3.

FEBS letters, 2002; PubMed, Homo sapiens TGFB3 — Homo sapiens ITGAV
ABSTRACT: Transforming growth factors-beta (TGFbeta1, 2 and 3) are secreted in a complex with their propeptides (latency-associated peptide 1 (LAP1), 2 and 3). TGFbeta signaling requires the dissociation of LAP and TGFbeta, a process termed latent TGFbeta activation. This process is a critical but incompletely understood step in the regulation of TGFbeta function. In particular, the extent to which activation mechanisms differ among the three TGFbeta isoforms is relatively unexplored. We show here that alphaVbeta6 binds and activates latent TGFbeta3.

Structural determinants of integrin β-subunit specificity for latent TGF-β.

Nature structural & molecular biology, 2014; PubMed, Homo sapiens TGFB3 — Homo sapiens ITGAV
ABSTRACT: Eight integrin α-β heterodimers recognize ligands with an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif. However, the structural mechanism by which integrins differentiate among extracellular proteins with RGD motifs is not understood. Here, crystal structures, mutations and peptide-affinity measurements show that αVβ6 binds with high affinity to a RGDLXXL/I motif within the prodomains of TGF-β1 and TGF-β3. The LXXL/I motif forms an amphipathic α-helix that binds in a hydrophobic pocket in the β6 subunit. Elucidation of the basis for ligand binding specificity by the integrin β subunit reveals contributions by three different βI-domain loops, which we designate specificity-determining loops (SDLs) 1, 2 and 3. Variation in a pair of single key residues in SDL1 and SDL3 correlates with the variation of the entire β subunit in integrin evolution, thus suggesting a paradigmatic role in overall β-subunit function.
