Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 25 (CCL25) and C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (CXCL10) induce the ligand-specific activation of integrin α4β7 to mediate the selective adhesion of lymphocytes to mucosal vascular addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) or vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). However, the mechanism underlying the selective binding of different ligands by α4β7 remains obscure. In this study, we demonstrate that CCL25 and CXCL10 induce distinct active conformers of α4β7 with a hi ...[more]
