EM structure of the ectodomain of integrin CD11b/CD18 and localization of its ligand-binding site relative to the plasma membrane.
One-half of the integrin α-subunit Propeller domains contain and extra vWFA domain (αA domain), which mediates integrin binding to extracellular physiologic ligands via its metal-ion-dependent adhesion site (MIDAS). We used electron microscopy to determine the 3D structure of the αA-containing ectod...
