Abstract

Integrin receptors transduce bidirectional signals between extracellular adhesion molecules and intracellular cytoskeletal and signalling molecules. The structural basis of integrin signalling is unknown, but the recent publication of the first crystal structure of the extracellular domain of integrin alphaVbeta3 has provided a number of insights. In this review, previous structure-function analyses of integrins that have employed biochemical and molecular biological approaches are placed in the context of the crystal structure, and novel routes to the development of integrin antagonists are discussed.
