Function

ITAL_HUMAN Integrin alpha-L/beta-2 is a receptor for ICAM1, ICAM2, ICAM3 and ICAM4. It is involved in a variety of immune phenomena including leukocyte-endothelial cell interaction, cytotoxic T-cell mediated killing, and antibody dependent killing by granulocytes and monocytes.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

High-resolution crystal structures of the headpiece of lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (integrin alphaLbeta2) reveal how the alphaI domain interacts with its platform formed by the alpha-subunit beta-propeller and beta-subunit betaI domains. The alphaLbeta2 structures compared with alphaXbeta2 structures show that the alphaI domain, tethered through its N-linker and a disulfide to a stable beta-ribbon pillar near the center of the platform, can undergo remarkable pivoting and tilting motions that appear buffered by N-glycan decorations that differ between alphaL and alphaX subunits. Rerefined beta2 integrin structures reveal details including pyroglutamic acid at the beta2 N terminus and bending within the EGF1 domain. Allostery is relayed to the alphaI domain by an internal ligand that binds to a pocket at the interface between the beta-propeller and betaI domains. Marked differences between the alphaL and alphaX subunit beta-propeller domains concentrate near the binding pocket and alphaI domain interfaces. Remarkably, movement in allostery in the betaI domain of specificity determining loop 1 (SDL1) causes concerted movement of SDL2 and thereby tightens the binding pocket for the internal ligand.
