DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In resting leukocytes, B2 integrin molecules are immobilized on the cell membrane in a diffused distribution, because they are constrained by cytoskeletal complex. Activation signals through the "inside-out" pathway cause this cytoskeletal complex to dissociate, resulting in enhanced free motion and clustering of f32 integrin. The clustered integrin provides high avidity binding to the ligands. The goal of this proposal is to identify and characterize the cytoskeletal complex constraining the integrin molecules in resting leukocytes, termed "preactivation cytoskeletal complex" in this proposal. Using the ability of regulating molecular mobility and clustering of B2 integrin as the criteria, we propose to determine whether talin, calmodulin, and dynamitin - three proteins involved in integrin activation-are members of the preactivation complex. Since integrin activation should not be a "none" or "all" process, two quantitative assays will be introduced: the single particle tracking method to quantitate the molecular mobility of B2 integrin and the fluorescent resonance energy transfer method to quantitate the clustering. Once we have identified the new members of the preactivation complex, their interrelationship with the currently known members, i.e. PKC, MacMARCKS, actin, and microtubule filaments, and among themselves will be determined by individually disrupting the function of each one by mutagenesis or by specific inhibitors. The significance of these studies is two-fold: if these proteins are indeed members of the preactivation complex, then the currently understood sequence of integrin activation is confirmed and we will have found new members. On the other hand, if these proteins regulate integrin activation without changing integrin mobility and clustering, then the currently held scheme of integrin activation requires modification. Information obtained from this study will provide a new understanding of the role of cytoskeletal proteins in regulating integrin activation. Since B2 integrin is a crucial regulator of the immune function in health and in diseases, this proposal has broad significance for clinical medicine.

描述(申请人提供)：在静息白细胞中，B2整合素 分子以扩散分布的形式固定在细胞膜上， 因为它们受到细胞骨架复合体的限制。激活信号 通过“由内而外”的途径使这种细胞骨架复合体解离， 从而增强F32整合素的自由运动和聚集。群集化 整合素提供与配体的高亲和力结合。这样做的目的是 建议识别和表征细胞骨架复合体的约束性 静息状态下白细胞中的整合素分子，称为“预激活” 本提案中的“细胞骨架复合体”。 利用B2的分子迁移性和聚集性调节能力 以整合素为标准，我们建议确定talin，calmodin， 和Dynamitin-参与整合素激活的三种蛋白质-是成员 预活化复合体。由于整合素激活不应为“无”或 “全部”过程中，将介绍两种定量分析方法：单颗粒 B2整合素分子迁移率的示踪定量研究 用荧光共振能量转移法对聚集态进行定量。一次 我们已经确定了预活化复合体的新成员，他们的 与目前已知的成员，即PKC，MacMARCKS，Actin， 和微管细丝，它们之间的关系将由 通过诱变或通过特定的方式单独扰乱每一种的功能 抑制剂。 这些研究的意义是双重的：如果这些蛋白质确实是 预活化复合体的成员，那么目前所理解的序列 整合素激活得到确认，我们将找到新的成员。论 另一方面，如果这些蛋白质调节整合素的激活而不改变 整合素迁移率和聚集性，然后是目前持有的整合素方案 激活需要修改。 从这项研究中获得的信息将提供对 细胞骨架蛋白在调节整合素激活中的作用。自B2以来 整合素是健康和健康中免疫功能的关键调节因子。 这一建议对临床医学具有广泛的意义。
