Article Title: A flexible loop in the paxillin LIM3 domain mediates its direct binding to integrin β subunits
doi: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3002757
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Flow cytometric analysis of NIH Flp-In integrin β3 KO and the indicated ITGB3 wt, ITGB3 Δ8aa, or ITGB3 Δ3aa reexpressing cell lines. Cells were left unstained or stained against mouse integrin β3 or with an isotype matched control IgG. ( B ) WCLs of cell lines in (A) were probed with the indicated antibodies directed against core FA proteins. Tubulin was used as loading control. ( C ) Serum starved cells as in (A) were seeded onto vitronectin-coated (5 μg/ml) glass slides for 30 min, and cell area was measured. Shown are mean values and 95% confidence intervals of n = 60 cells per sample from 3 independent experiments. Statistical significance was calculated using one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni multiple comparison test (*** p ≤ 0.001). The data underlying this panel can be found in . ( D ) Flow cytometric analysis of Kindlin 1/2 flox cells (Kind Ctrl ), Kindlin 1/2 KO (Kind KO ), or Kind KO cells stably transduced with either murine full-length integrin β3, truncated integrin β3 Δ8aa or Δ3aa, or empty vector backbone (mock). Cells were analysed for their surface expression of various integrin subunits using flow cytometry. ( E ) WCL from cell lines in (D) were analysed by western blotting with antibodies against indicated core FA proteins. Monoclonal α-tubulin antibody was used as loading control. ( F ) Serum starved cells as in (D) were seeded on glass coverslips coated with 50 μg/ml vitronectin or poly-Lysine for 4 h. Cells were fixed and stained for endogenous paxillin or talin as indicated. Paxillin- and talin-positive cell attachment sites in ITGB3 wt expressing kindlin1/2 KO cells are indicated with black arrowheads.
