abstract = {Integrins are α/β heterodimeric transmembrane adhesion
receptors. Evidence exists that their transmembrane domain
(TMD) separates upon activation. Subunit-specific
differences in activation sensitivity of integrins were
reported. However, whether sequence variations in the TMD
lead to differential TMD association has remained elusive.
Here, we show by molecular dynamics simulations and
association free energy calculations on TMDs of integrin
αIIbβ3, αvβ3, and α5β1 that αIIbβ3 TMD is most
stably associated; this difference is related to interaction
differences across the TMDs. The order of TMD association
stability is paralleled by the basal activity of these
integrins, which suggests that TMD differences can have a
decisive effect on integrin conformational free energies. We
also identified a specific order of clasp disintegration
upon TMD dissociation, which suggests that the closed state
of integrins may comprise several microstates. Our results
provide unprecedented insights into a possibly contributing
role of TMD towards subunit-specific sensitivity of integrin
activation.},
