Paxillin association with α4 integrins stabilizes adhesive tethers to immobilized α4-specific mAbs independent of ligand-induced rearrangements. (A) Dose-dependent induction of the 15/7 epitope by the α4β1-specific ligand Bio1211 on wt α4 or α4(Y991A)–expressing Jurkat cells. (B) Reduced tethering and firm adhesion of the α4(Y991A) mutant to immobilized α4 mAb (HP1/2) under shear flow. Frequency of tethers and their categories were determined as in Fig. 7. (C) Strength of adhesion developed by JB4 expressing either wt or α4(Y991A) settled for 1 min on low or high density mAb. Experiments in A and B are each representative of three independent experiments. Error bars represent SD.
