Two different mutations in the cytoplasmic domain of the integrin beta 4 subunit in nonlethal forms of epidermolysis bullosa prevent interaction of beta 4 with plectin

The integrin alpha 6 beta 4 plays a crucial role in the assembly and maintenance of hemidesmosomes. Previous work has shown that the recruitment of plectin into hemidesmosomes is dependent on beta 4 and involves a region of the beta 4 cytoplasmic domain, which contains the first two fibronectin (FNI...
