Background: Integrin alpha 4 beta 7/LPAM-1
alpha4 beta-propeller to form a binding domain. Metal ion binding sites termed MIDAS and LIMBS promote firm adhesion, and another site termed ADMIDAS is a negative regulatory site that promotes rolling (4-6). The mouse alpha4 ECD shares 94% and 85% amino acid sequence identity with the rat and human alpha4 ECD, respectively. The mouse beta7 ECD shares 94% and 87% amino acid sequence identity with the rat and human beta7 ECD, respectively. Integrin alpha4 beta7 binds the mucosal addressin
MAdCAM-1, as well as VCAM-1 and Fibronectin (7). Integrin alpha4 beta7, which is critical for homing to intestinal mucosa, is induced during T cell activation in Peyer’s patches or mesenteric lymph nodes (8, 9). Its expression requires signals from local dendritic and stromal cells, including secreted retinoic acid (10, 11). The HIV-1 envelope protein gp120 binds to the active form of Integrin alpha4 beta7, and this may or may not account for the concentration of HIV-1 virus in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) (12-14). Integrin alpha4 beta7 may also be involved in lymphocyte trafficking in acute intestinal graft vs. host disease (GVHD) (15).
