The integrin Mac-1 (α<sub>M</sub>β<sub>2</sub>, CD11b/CD18, CR3) is an important adhesion receptor expressed on macrophages and neutrophils. Mac-1 is also the most promiscuous member of the integrin family that binds a diverse set of ligands through its α<sub>M</sub>I-domain. However, the binding mechanism of most ligands is not clear. We have determined the interaction of α<sub>M</sub>I-domain with the cytokine pleiotrophin (PTN), a cationic protein known to bind α<sub>M</sub>I-domain and induc ...[more]
