Coupling of β2 integrins to actin by a mechanosensitive molecular clutch drives complement receptor-mediated phagocytosis

αMβ2 integrin (complement receptor 3) is a major receptor for phagocytosis in macrophages. In other contexts, integrins’ activities and functions are mechanically linked to actin dynamics through focal adhesions (FAs). We asked whether mechanical coupling of αMβ2 integrin to the actin cytoskeleton m...
