An internal ligand-bound, metastable state of a leukocyte integrin, α(X)β(2)

How is massive conformational change in integrins achieved on a rapid timescale? We report crystal structures of a metastable, putative transition state of integrin α(X)β(2). The α(X)β(2) ectodomain is bent; however, a lattice contact stabilizes its ligand-binding αI domain in a high affinity, open...
