Descriptions

Kindlin-3 is a member of the kindlin family of focal adhesion proteins which bind to integrin beta-chain cytoplasmic domains to regulate integrin function. kindlin-3 is maintained in a homotrimer state, which is different from the monomer that binds integrin β cytoplasmic tails. The trimer formation of kindlin-3 results in an autoinhibited state, as the integrin-binding pocket is blocked by the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of another protomer. Mutations disrupting the trimer interface (Q471A, A475F, S478A) lead to increased integrin-mediated cell adhesion and spreading, indicating relief from autoinhibition. This autoinhibition regulates kindlin-3’s role in integrin activation and signaling, with implications for diseases like leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) III and cancer.

5 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cell junction A cellular component that forms a specialized region of connection between two or more cells, or between a cell and the extracellular matrix, or between two membrane-bound components of a cell, such as flagella.
cytoskeleton A cellular structure that forms the internal framework of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. The cytoskeleton includes intermediate filaments, microfilaments, microtubules, the microtrabecular lattice, and other structures characterized by a polymeric filamentous nature and long-range order within the cell. The various elements of the cytoskeleton not only serve in the maintenance of cellular shape but also have roles in other cellular functions, including cellular movement, cell division, endocytosis, and movement of organelles.
cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
focal adhesion A cell-substrate junction that anchors the cell to the extracellular matrix and that forms a point of termination of actin filaments. In insects focal adhesion has also been referred to as hemi-adherens junction (HAJ).
ruffle membrane The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a ruffle.
