Kindlin-2 enhances talin-induced integrin αIIbβ3 activation. EGFP-fused β3 CT binding proteins were transiently transfected into αIIbβ3-CHO cells. Their effects on αIIbβ3 activation were evaluated by PAC1 binding (A and D) and expression levels were measured by Western blotting with anti-GFP antibody (B and E). Representative FACS histograms of PAC1 binding to talin-H and/or kindin-2 (kind-2) positive cells (C). Error bars (A and D) represent means ± SD (n = 3). *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01 (versus vector).
