Neutrophil adhesion dependent functions such as chemotaxis, spreading, and phagocytosis are inhibited by neutrophil inhibitory factor (NIF), a glycoprotein produced by the hookworm Ancylostoma caninum. The NIF binding site has been localized to the A-domain of integrin CR3 (CD11b/CD18) and shown to be metal-dependent, The recently solved crystal structure of the A-domain from CD11b revealed a putative metal ion-dependent adhesion site (MIDAS) on the top of the structure. To determine if NIF binds to the A-domain at its MIDAS face, amino acid substitutions involving 24 residues present in surface loops and adjacent helices in the structure were created. The expressed CD11b A-domain and CR3 heterodimers were then tested in a blinded manner for their ability to bind to biotinylated NIF. The solvent-exposed Gly(143), Asp(149), Glu(178)-Glu(179), and Arg(208), all located on the MIDAS face, in close proximity to the metal ion, were involved in CR3-NIF interaction. These data show that the natural integrin antagonist, NIF, binds to CR3 through the MIDAS region and identify putative contact residues in this region that could be targeted therapeutically.
