Background: Integrin alpha V beta 6

Integrin alphaV beta6 is one of five alphaV integrins and the sole beta6 integrin (1, 2). The non-covalent heterodimer of 170 kDa alphaV/CD51 and 95 kDa beta6 integrin subunits is expressed exclusively on subsets of epithelial cells, especially during development, after injury or inflammation, or on many carcinomas (2-5). The ligand interaction site of alphaV beta6 is in the N-terminal head region formed by an interaction of the beta6 vWFA domain with the alphaV beta-propeller structure (2). The alphaV subunit contains domains termed thigh, calf, and calf-2 with a divalent cation-binding site found at a position equivalent to the “knee”. The 962 aa human alphaV ECD (4), which is cleaved at aa 890 but remains associated, shares 92-95% aa sequence identity with mouse and bovine alphaV, while the 685 aa human beta6 ECD (5) shares 90-93% aa sequence identity with mouse, rat, bovine, ovine, and porcine beta6. Each subunit has a transmembrane sequence and a short cytoplasmic tail connected to the cytoskeleton. The beta6 C-terminal 11 amino acid (aa) cytoplasmic sequence transduces a signal, enhancing proliferation and inducing MMP-9 expression (6). Either “inside-out” signaling or Mg2+ or Mn2+ binding unfolds and activates the integrin (1). Active alphaV beta6 binds matrix proteins fibronectin and tenascin C (2). It also binds the TGF-beta latency‑associated peptide (LAP) and activates TGF-beta 1 or TGF-beta 3 from large latent complexes (7). This activation requires interaction with LTBP-1 and fibronectin, and is enhanced by PAR-1 (8, 9). Deletion of beta6 ablates tonic inhibition of alveolar macrophages by TGF-beta, inhibits intestinal regulatory T cell production, and predisposes mice to inflammatory reactions in the skin, lungs, and intestines where irritations and microbial challenges are frequent (10-12). High alphaV beta6 expression in carcinomas may contribute to progression through its effects on TGF-beta and MMP activity (3). The foot-and-mouth disease virus and several other viruses can use alphaV beta6 as a receptor, and soluble alphaV beta6 may block virus infectivity in vitro (13, 14).
