10. ••]. Localization of activation epitopes to sterically inaccessible surfaces in the bent integrin suggested that this conformation represents the low-affinity state. A switchblade-like rearrangement was suggested to occur during activation that would make the epitopes accessible for antibody recognition.
11. 2+ induced a switchblade-like extension of the integrin, with a mixture of closed and open headpiece orientations. Cyclic RGD exclusively produced the extended conformer with the open headpiece. Stabilization of the bent conformation on the cell surface by an engineered disulfide bond prevented activation.

Release of the clasp induced a substantial separation of the stalks that was coupled to a significant increase in affinity for ligand.

In the context of α5β1 and αIIβ3, these mutations induced constitutive high affinity for ligand. A model for I-like domain activation, driven by downward translation of the carboxy-terminal helix and swing-out of the hybrid domain, was suggested.

Intracellular signaling was not required for these effects, and a soluble extracellular fragment of CD47 was sufficient to mediate this activation.
