Background: Integrin alpha 1 beta 1

Integrin alpha1 beta1, also called VLA1, is the only alpha1 integrin family adhesion receptor, one of twelve integrins that share the beta1 subunit, and one of four collagen-binding integrins (1-6). It is the non-covalent heterodimer of 190-210 kDa alpha1 (CD49a) and 130 kDa beta1 (CD29) type I transmembrane glycoprotein subunits. It is found on cells including activated T cells, B cells, monocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, osteoblasts and adipocytes (2, 7-9). The alpha1 extracellular domain (ECD) contains an I (inserted) domain which includes the ligand binding site (2, 4). The beta1 ECD contains a vWFA domain, which participates in binding (3). Each subunit then has a transmembrane sequence and a short cytoplasmic tail. Divalent cations and intracellular (inside-out) signaling convert the dimer from the folded, inactive form to its most active, extended conformation (1, 2). The 1113 amino acid (aa) mouse alpha1 extracellular domain (ECD) shares 88% and 96% aa sequence identity with human and rat alpha1, respectively, while the 708 aa mouse beta1 ECD shares 93% and 98% aa sequence identity with human and rat beta1, respectively. alpha1 beta1 preferentially binds collagens I, IV, VI, XIII and XVI, but also binds laminin (4-11). alpha1 beta1 is reported to down-regulate EGF R signaling, increase expression of caveolin-1, reduce production of reactive oxygen species, regulate collagen expression, control MMP collagenase and gelatinase activity, and mediate the renal basement membrane disorder Alport syndrome (11-13). These effects may begin by alpha1 beta1 binding of caveolin-1, initiating signaling pathways that involve the phosphatase TC-PTP, kinases ERK and p38, and the transcription factor PPAR-gamma (11-14). alpha1 beta1 down-regulates MMP-mediated angiostatin formation, enhancing tumor vascularization (9). alpha1 beta1-null mice are deficient in fibroblast collagen IV and laminin-mediated cell spreading and migration, show defects in bone healing, and are resistant to Alport renal fibrosis (10-12, 15). When expressed in the same epithelial cells, alpha1 beta1 negatively regulates integrin alpha2 beta1-mediated cell adhesion and migration (16).
