Rules of engagement between αvβ6 integrin and foot-and-mouth disease virus

Foot-and-mouth disease virus binds αvβ6 integrin, via a conserved RGD motif in the flexible, exposed GH loop of capsid protein VP1, for cell entry. Here Kotechaet al.visualize this interaction with the VP1 GH loop extending away from the viral surface, engaging αvβ6 in an open, active state.
