Binding of integrins to ligands provides anchorage and signals for the cell, making them prime candidates for mechanosensing molecules. How force regulates integrin–ligand dissociation is unclear. We used atomic force microscopy to measure the force-dependent lifetimes of single bonds between a fibronectin fragment and an integrin α5β1-Fc fusion protein or membrane α5β1. Force prolonged bond lifetimes in the 10–30-pN range, a counterintuitive behavior called catch bonds. Changing cations from Ca2+/Mg2+ to Mg2+/EGTA and to Mn2+ caused longer lifetime in the same 10–30-pN catch bond region. A truncated α5β1 construct containing the headpiece but not the legs formed longer-lived catch bonds that were not affected by cation changes at forces <30 pN. Binding of monoclonal antibodies that induce the active conformation of the integrin headpiece shifted catch bonds to a lower force range. Thus, catch bond formation appears to involve force-assisted activation of the headpiece but not integrin extension.
