Structural insights into integrin α(5)β(1) opening by fibronectin ligand

Integrin α(5)β(1) is a major fibronectin receptor critical for cell migration. Upon complex formation, fibronectin and α(5)β(1) undergo conformational changes. While this is key for cell-tissue connections, its mechanism is unknown. Here, we report cryo–electron microscopy structures of native human...
