Evolutionary origin and structural ligand mimicry by the inserted domain of alpha-integrin proteins

Heterodimeric integrin proteins transmit signals through conformational changes upon ligand binding between their alpha (α) and beta (β) subunits. Early in chordate evolution, some α subunits acquired an “inserted” (I) domain, which expanded their ligand binding capacity but simultaneously obstructe...
