Structural Basis and Kinetics of Force-Induced Conformational Changes of an αA Domain-Containing Integrin

BACKGROUND: Integrin α(L)β(2) (lymphocyte function-associated antigen, LFA-1) bears force upon binding to its ligand intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) when a leukocyte adheres to vascular endothelium or an antigen presenting cell (APC) during immune responses. The ligand binding propensity...
