Here we resolve the cryo-EM structures of the full-length αIIbβ3, which covers three distinct states along the activation pathway. Firstly, we obtain the αIIbβ3 structure at 3 Å resolution in the inactive state, revealing the overall topology of the heterodimer with the transmembrane (TM) helices and the ligand-binding domain tucked in a specific angle proximity to the TM region. After the addition of a Mn agonist, we resolve two coexisting structures representing two new states between inactive and active state. Our structures show conformational changes of the αIIbβ3 activating trajectory and a unique twisting of the integrin legs, which is required for platelets accumulation. Our structure provides direct structural evidence for how the lower legs are involved in full-length integrin activation mechanisms and offers a new strategy to target the αIIbβ3 lower leg. |
