Function

Integrin alpha-5/beta-1 (ITGA5:ITGB1) is a receptor for fibronectin and fibrinogen. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in its ligands. ITGA5:ITGB1 binds to PLA2G2A via a site (site 2) which is distinct from the classical ligand-binding site (site 1) and this induces integrin conformational changes and enhanced ligand binding to site 1 (PubMed:18635536, PubMed:25398877). ITGA5:ITGB1 acts as a receptor for fibrillin-1 (FBN1) and mediates R-G-D-dependent cell adhesion to FBN1 (PubMed:12807887, PubMed:17158881). ITGA5:ITGB1 is a receptor for IL1B and binding is essential for IL1B signaling (PubMed:29030430). ITGA5:ITGB3 is a receptor for soluble CD40LG and is required for CD40/CD40LG signaling (PubMed:31331973).(Microbial infection) Integrin ITGA5:ITGB1 acts as a receptor for Human metapneumovirus.(Microbial infection) Integrin ITGA2:ITGB1 acts as a receptor for Human parvovirus B19.(Microbial infection) In case of HIV-1 infection, the interaction with extracellular viral Tat protein seems to enhance angiogenesis in Kaposi's sarcoma lesions.

Activity summary

Integrin alpha 5 also known as CD49e or ITGA5 is a subunit of the integrin family that forms heterodimers with beta 1 integrin. It has an approximate mass of 130 kDa. This protein mainly expresses in various tissues including fibroblasts endothelial cells and certain epithelial cells. Integrin alpha 5 mediates cell adhesion by binding to fibronectin an important extracellular matrix protein helping cells stay attached to their surrounding environment.

Biological function summary

Integrin alpha 5 plays a significant role in cellular processes such as migration proliferation and differentiation. It pairs with beta 1 integrin to form the alpha 5 beta 1 integrin complex. This complex facilitates the transmission of mechanical and chemical signals between the extracellular matrix and the cell interior. Integrin alpha 5 also interacts with intracellular proteins like talin and kindlin which are essential for initiating and strengthening the linkage to the actin cytoskeleton.

Pathways

Integrin alpha 5 is involved in the regulation of several critical signaling pathways. It prominently features within the MAPK/ERK pathway and the focal adhesion signaling pathway. Through these pathways integrin alpha 5 influences cell survival proliferation and migration. It interacts with proteins such as paxillin and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) within these pathways contributing to cellular responses to external stimuli.

Associated diseases and disorders

Integrin alpha 5 is linked to conditions such as cancer and fibrosis. Overexpression or aberrant regulation of this integrin often associates with tumorigenesis particularly in breast and colorectal cancers enhancing cancer cell migration and invasion. Integrin alpha 5 is also connected to proteins like matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which play roles in extracellular matrix remodeling and are involved in fibrotic diseases. These associations highlight the importance of integrin alpha 5 in pathological processes and its potential as a target for therapeutic intervention.
