beta 2 integrins are the main adhesion molecules in neutrophils and other leukocytes and are rapidly activated by inside-out signaling, which results in conformational changes that are transmitted through the transmembrane domain (TMD). Here, we investigated the biologic effect of introducing a proline mutation in the beta 2 integrin TMD to create a flexible kink that uncouples the topology of the inner half of the TMD from the outer half and impairs integrin activation. The beta 2 integrin alpha chains, alpha L, alpha M, alpha X, and alpha D, all contain an inserted (I) domain with homology to von Willebrand factor A domain. beta 2 activation was monitored in a homogenous binding assay of 2 reporter monoclonal antibodies: KIM127 reporting extension (E+) and mAb24 reporting the high-affinity (H+) conformation of the beta 2 I-like domain. The proline mutation partially diminished chemokine-induced extension, but not the high-affinity conformation. The proline mutation in the TMD of beta 2 completely inhibited arrest of rolling HL-60 cells in response to the chemokine IL-8. TMD mutant HL-60 cells rolling on P-selectin and ICAM-1 were unable to reduce their rolling velocity in response to IL-8. Quantitative dynamic footprinting live-cell imaging showed that blocking TMD topology transmission impaired the chemokine-induced activation of beta 2, limiting the appearance of extended high-affinity (E+H+) beta 2. This also resulted in a defect in early spreading (3 min after arrest), which could be overcome by forced integrin activation using Mn2+. We conclude that the TMD proline mutation severely impairs beta 2 integrin extension, cell arrest, and early spreading.
