β-Subunit Binding Is Sufficient for Ligands to Open the Integrin α(IIb)β(3) Headpiece

The platelet integrin α(IIb)β(3) binds to a KQAGDV motif at the fibrinogen γ-chain C terminus and to RGD motifs present in loops in many extracellular matrix proteins. These ligands bind in a groove between the integrin α and β-subunits; the basic Lys or Arg side chain hydrogen bonds to the α(IIb)-s...
