binds ECM and transmembrane proteins
fibronectins and laminins
linker protein-mediated “communication”.
fibronectins and laminins
alpha beta subunit
integrin
tf
Cells can have 1 integrin receptors that link the cell to only one component of the extracellular matrix.
Cells can have multiple integrin receptors that link the cell to more than one component of the extracellular matrix.
The ——/—– sequence on the linker proteins binds specifically to the integrin receptors.
RGD/RGDS sequence on the linker proteins
Activation of integrins can lead to their — and —— of focal adhesions
Activation of integrins can lead to their clustering and formation of focal adhesions
C terminus of alpha and beta subunits of integrin
located in cytoplams
alpha subunit split into 2 segments
and linked together by disulfide linkage
disulfide rich repeats exist in
beta subunit of integrin
integrin binds to actin on

Talin
involved in in to out signaling with integrin
cell migration

ECM assembly
In to Out signaling with integrin
regulation of the extracellular binding activity of a cell’s integrins from within.

Collagen
(major stress-bearing component
Colagen
Collagens form —– fibers with high —- strength; hold cells together in discrete units.
Collagens form insoluble fibers with high tensile strength; hold cells together in discrete units.
