The talin2/β1D structure. (A) One heterodimer from the crystal structure of talin2 F2–F3 bound to the β1D integrin tail. Labelling is for talin2/β1D with talin1/β3 numbering in parentheses. Highlighted residues interact with the membrane or form a key integrin/talin salt bridge. All structure images were generated with MOLMOL (Koradi et al, 1996). (B) The talin2/β1D structure was merged with the β3 transmembrane segment (PDB ) (Lau et al, 2008b) and aligned to the calculated membrane tilt angle of 25°. The electrostatic potential is mapped on talin, illustrating the juxtaposition of several positively charged residues next to the membrane surface.
