What ion is required to maintain the proper integrin structure and to facilitate ligand binding?

Biology
1 answer:
anzhelika [568]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

calcium

Explanation:

Integrins are principal receptors that bind to the extracellular matrix. They act as transmembrane linkers to link extracellular matrix and the actin cytoskeleton

The adhesive activity of integrins is regulated through two ways –  

a) Within the cell  

b) Out side the cell by extracellular divalent cations  i.e Ca2+ or Mg2+. This shows that there is divalent-cation-binding domains in the extracellular part of the α and β subunits which affects both affinity and the specificity of the ligands to which the integrin binds

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

A. Early signs of life on earth

Explanation:

The Hadean, before the Archean, is the first geologic eon of Earth. It began with the formation of the Earth about 4600 million years ago and ended 4,000 million years ago. The planet had just formed and was still very hot due to high volcanism, a partially molten surface. Some geologists labels the period before the earliest-known rocks on Earth. At the end of it much cooler surface temperature and the formation of solid rock enabled to flaurish the life.
