Leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) type III, a genetic condition that can cause death in early childhood, highlights the importance of integrin/kindlin interactions for immune system function. A TTT/AAA mutation in the cytoplasmic domain of the beta 2 integrin significantly reduces kindlin-3 binding to the beta 2 tail, abolishes leukocyte adhesion to intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (...
