Integrins Trigger Focal Adhesion Signaling

Description

Integrins trigger focal adhesion signaling at the cell membrane. These membrane receptors sit in the phospholipid bilayer with hydrophobic regions that match the membrane interior. They provide attachment sites for outside signals such as hormones and growth factors. When these effectors bind and become active, integrins can...

细胞膜上的整合素簇 暂时地 将细胞外基质配体与细胞骨架连接,形成黏着斑复合物。

黏着斑可以生长和收缩,从而使细胞在迁移过程中爬行。

尽管黏附起始于细胞膜,但信号通过蛋白激酶和G蛋白在细胞内进行级联传递。

例如,凝血酶是血小板中的一种细胞外信号分子,可激活G蛋白偶联受体cAR1/cAR3,进而激活Rap1 GTP酶。

活化的Rap1与Rap1-GTP相互作用适配分子(RIAM)结合,RIAM可将无活性的踝蛋白招募至细胞膜。

失活状态的踝蛋白其N端头部结构域与C端尾部结构域相互折叠结合。细胞膜中的磷脂酰肌醇与之结合后,会破坏头-尾结构域间的相互作用,从而促进踝蛋白的展开。
