    Notes: The anti-integrin β1 MAb 15/7 sometimes may be a reporter of integrin activation or ligand occupancy. However, certain β1 tail deletions eliminate ligand binding despite inducing maximal constitutive 15/7 expression [Puzon-Mclaughlin et al. (1996): J Biol Chem 271:16580-16585]. Here we describe β1 tail mutations (e.g., double point mutations [D759L/F763L, F766L/E769L], or replacement of the β1 tail by the β5 tail) that prevent rather than induce constitutive appearance of the 15/7 epitope. Despite variable losses of constitutive 15/7 epitope, these mutants all retained a similar inducible 15/7 epitope component as seen upon incubation with GRGDSP peptide ligand. In addition, constitutive 15/7 expression did not correlate with integrin localization into focal adhesions. In conclusion, we show for the first time for a fully functional integrin that specific mutations within the β1 tail can down-regulate the constitutive appearance of an extracellular conformation defined by MAb 15/7. Because this regulation occurs away from the ligand binding site and does not correlate with responsiveness to integrin ligand, cell adhesion, or localization into focal adhesions, a novel type of conformational regulation is suggested.
