摘要
Integrin α1β1 is an adhesion receptor that binds to collagen and laminin. It regulates cell adhesion, cytoskeletal organization, and migration. The cytoplasmic tail of the α1 subunit consists of 15 amino acids and contains six positively charged lysine residues. In this study, we present evidence that the α1 integrin cytoplasmic tail (α1CT) directly associates with phosphoinositides, preferentially with phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P3). Since the association was disrupted by calcium, magnesium and phosphate ions, this interaction appears to be in ionic nature. Here, the peptide-lipid interaction was driven by the conserved KIGFFKR motif. The exchange of both two potential phospholipid-binding lysines for glycines in the KIGFFKR motif increased α1β1 integrin-specific adhesion and F-actin cytoskeleton formation compared to cells expressing the unmodified α1 subunit, whereas only mutation of the second lysine at position 1171 increased levels of constitutively active α1β1 integrins on the cell surface. In addition, enhanced focal adhesion formation and increased phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase, but decreased phosphorylation of AKT was observed in these cells. We conclude that the KIGFFKR motif, and in particular lysine1171 is involved in the dynamic regulation of α1β1 integrin activity and that the interaction of α1CT with phosphoinositides may contribute to this process.
