An Activating Mutation Reveals a Second Binding Mode of the Integrin α2 I Domain to the GFOGER Motif in Collagens

The GFOGER motif in collagens (O denotes hydroxyproline) represents a high-affinity binding site for all collagen-binding integrins. Other GxOGER motifs require integrin activation for maximal binding. The E318W mutant of the integrin α2β1 I domain displays a relaxed collagen specificity, typical of...
