An illustration of the movement of α7 helix in the I domains and the swing-out of the hybrid domain (the domains are defined in Fig. 1). The top pair corresponds to the closed and open conformations of an integrin without an inserted α-I domain whereas the lower pair represents the situation when there is an α-I domain present. The intrinsic ligand is a glutamate (E310 in αL).
