A Cluster of Basic Amino Acid Residues in the γ370−381 Sequence of Fibrinogen Comprises a Binding Site for Platelet Integrin αIIbβ3(Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa)

Abstract: Adhesive interactions of platelet integrin alpha(IIb)beta3 with fibrinogen and fibrin are central events in hemostasis and thrombosis. However, the mechanisms by which alpha(IIb)beta3 binds these ligands remain incompletely understood. We have recently demonstrated that alpha(IIb)beta3 binds the gamma365-383 sequence in the gammaC-domain of fibrin(ogen). This sequence contains neither the AGDV nor the RGD recognition motifs, known to bind alpha(IIb)beta3, suggesting the different specificity of the integrin. H… Show more

“…Intriguingly, the structure of the ␥C domain (32) reveals two pairs of basic residues on exposed surfaces of the protein that are crucial for the interaction with the integrin. In particular, substitution of either Lys 380 or Lys 381 of ␥C peptides with alanine reduces peptide binding to ␣IIb␤3, and a double substitution completely abolishes binding (43). The data from other systems are completely consistent with our data showing loss of binding and activity of CD23-derived peptides when Arg 172 and Lys 173 are substituted with alanine.…”

“…The ␣v␤5 integrin recognizes the HIV Tat protein via a non-RGD motif that is basic in character (25). Studies of binding of ␣IIb␤3 to peptide fragments of fibrinogen demonstrated that the integrin recognizes a cluster of basic residues located between residues 370 and 381 of the ␥C domain that is devoid of an RGD sequence (43). Intriguingly, the structure of the ␥C domain (32) reveals two pairs of basic residues on exposed surfaces of the protein that are crucial for the interaction with the integrin.…”

“…Thus, platelet spreading on surfaces coated with fibrin lacking ␤ chain residues 15-42 is substantially impaired (22). Further, antibodies against the ␥316 -322 region inhibit clot retraction (23), and a site designated P3 at ␥370 -383 has been identified that also mediates fibrin clot retraction and binds ␣IIb␤3 (25,26). Mutational analyses have confirmed that both ␥408 -411 AGDV and P3 are required for the full adhesive activity of fibrin for platelets.…”

“…These observations suggest that a site or sites in addition to the RGD and C-terminal ␥ chain motifs participate in the interaction of platelets with fibrin during thrombus growth and clot contraction. Candidate sites proposed previously include residues 15-42 in the ␤ chain (22), as well as residues 316 -322 (23,24) and 370 -381 (25,26) in the ␥ chain ( Fig. 1).…”

“…23,24 The membrane-bound peptides were tested for their ability to bind the a M I-domain according to a procedure described earlier. 23 In brief, the membrane was blocked with 1% BSA and then incubated with 10 mg/mL of 125 I-labeled a M I-domain in Tris-buffered saline containing 1 mM MgCl 2 .…”
