Function

[ITAM_MOUSE] Integrin ITGAM/ITGB2 is implicated in various adhesive interactions of monocytes, macrophages and granulocytes as well as in mediating the uptake of complement-coated particles and pathogens (By similarity). It is identical with CR-3, the receptor for the iC3b fragment of the third complement component. It probably recognizes the R-G-D peptide in C3b. Integrin ITGAM/ITGB2 is also a receptor for fibrinogen, factor X and ICAM1. It recognizes P1 and P2 peptides of fibrinogen gamma chain. Regulates neutrophil migration. In association with beta subunit ITGB2/CD18, required for CD177-PRTN3-mediated activation of TNF primed neutrophils (By similarity). May regulate phagocytosis-induced apoptosis in extravasated neutrophils (By similarity). May play a role in mast cell development (By similarity). Required with TYROBP/DAP12 in microglia to control production of microglial superoxide ions which promote the neuronal apoptosis that occurs during brain development (PubMed:18685038).[UniProtKB:P11215][1] [2] [3] [4]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Host-pathogen interactions are central to understanding microbial pathogenesis. The staphylococcal pore-forming cytotoxins hijack important immune molecules but little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms of cytotoxin-receptor interaction and host specificity. Here we report the structures of a staphylococcal pore-forming cytotoxin, leukocidin GH (LukGH), in complex with its receptor (the alpha-I domain of complement receptor 3, CD11b-I), both for the human and murine homologs. We observe 2 binding interfaces, on the LukG and the LukH protomers, and show that human CD11b-I induces LukGH oligomerization in solution. LukGH binds murine CD11b-I weakly and is inactive toward murine neutrophils. Using a LukGH variant engineered to bind mouse CD11b-I, we demonstrate that cytolytic activity does not only require binding but also receptor-dependent oligomerization. Our studies provide an unprecedented insight into bicomponent leukocidin-host receptor interaction, enabling the development of antitoxin approaches and improved animal models to explore these approaches.
