αvβ8 is an integrin that recognizes an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif and interacts with fibronectin, vitronectin, and latent TGF-β1. We comprehensively determined the binding activity of the αvβ8 integrin toward 25 secreted proteins having an RGD motif. The αvβ8 integrin strongly bound to latent TGF-β1 but showed marginal activity for other RGD-containing proteins, including fibronectin and vitronectin. Site-directed mutagenesis of latent TGF-β1 demonstrated that the high affinity binding of αvβ8 integrin to latent TGF-β1 was defined by Leu-218 immediately following the RGD motif within the latency-associated peptide of TGF-β1. Consistent with the critical role of Leu-218 in latent TGF-β1 recognition by αvβ8 integrin, a 9-mer synthetic peptide containing an RGDL sequence strongly inhibited interactions of latent TGF-β1 with αvβ8 integrin, whereas a 9-mer peptide with an RGDA sequence was ∼60-fold less inhibitory. Because αvβ3 integrin did not exhibit strong binding to latent TGF-β1 or distinguish between RGDL- and RGDA-containing peptides, we explored the mechanism by which the integrin β8 subunit defines the high affinity binding of latent TGF-β1 by αvβ8 integrin. Production of a series of swap mutants of integrin β8 and β3 subunits indicated that the high affinity binding of αvβ8 integrin with latent TGF-β1 was ensured by interactions between the Leu-218 residue and the β8 I-like domain, with the former serving as an auxiliary recognition residue defining the restricted ligand specificity of αvβ8 integrin toward latent TGF-β1. In support of this conclusion, high affinity binding toward the αvβ8 integrin was conferred on fibronectin by substitution of its RGDS motif with an RGDL sequence.
