Which of the following statements best describes the difference between low-affinity integrins and high-affinity integrins?

#XL - Q Biochemistry

  1. Many integrins can exist in two conformations: a low-affinity (bent) conformation and a high-affinity (straight) conformation.

  2. Dissociation of the alpha beta heterodimer converts many integrins from the low-affinity to the high-affinity state.

  3. Association of the alpha beta heterodimer converts many integrins from the low-affinity to the high-affinity state.

  4. Proteolytic cleavage of the C-terminal tails of the two subunits converts many integrins from the low-affinity to the high-affinity state.

E. coli cells were spread on an agar plate, producing 1000 colonies.  The colonies are replica plated on two agar plates containing the antibiotic kanamycin and one agar plate without antibiotics.  All of the colonies are able to grow on the agar plate without antibiotic but only 4 colonies are able to grow on each of the agar plates containing kanamycin.  You notice that the four colonies that grew on each of the kanamycin containing plates are in the exact same position.  This demonstrates
