[[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ITAM_HUMAN ITAM_HUMAN]] Genetic variations in ITGAM has been associated with susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus type 6 (SLEB6) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/609939 609939]]. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, inflammatory and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue. It affects principally the skin, joints, kidneys and serosal membranes. It is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system.

[[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ITAM_HUMAN ITAM_HUMAN]] Integrin alpha-M/beta-2 is implicated in various adhesive interactions of monocytes, macrophages and granulocytes as well as in mediating the uptake of complement-coated particles. It is identical with CR-3, the receptor for the iC3b fragment of the third complement component. It probably recognizes the R-G-D peptide in C3b. Integrin alpha-M/beta-2 is also a receptor for fibrinogen, factor X and ICAM1. It recognizes P1 and P2 peptides of fibrinogen gamma chain.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

In response to cell activation signals, integrins switch from a low to a high affinity state. Physiologic ligands bind to integrins through a von Willebrand Factor A-type domain. Crystallographic studies revealed two conformations of this domain, "closed" and "open." The latter crystallizes in complex with a pseudoligand or ligand, suggesting that it represents the high affinity state; data linking structure and activity are lacking however. In this communication, we expressed stable low and high affinity forms of integrin CD11b A-domain and determined their binding isotherms and crystal structures. The low affinity form, generated by deleting an N-terminal extension extrinsic to the domain, did not bind to physiologic ligands, and crystallized in the closed conformation. The high affinity form was generated by either deleting or substituting an invariable C-terminal Ile(316), wedged into a hydrophobic socket in the closed form, but displaced from it in the open structure. Both mutants crystallized in the open conformation, and the Ile(316) --&gt; Gly-modified integrin displayed high affinity. Structural differences between the low and high affinity forms were detected in solution. These data establish the structure-function correlates for the CD11b A-domain, and define a ligand-independent isoleucine-based allosteric switch intrinsic to this domain that controls its conformation and affinity.
