A two-amino acid insertion in the Cys146- Cys167 loop of the alphaIIb subunit is associated with a variant of Glanzmann thrombasthenia. Critical role of Asp163 in ligand binding.

Abstract: The ligand binding site(s) of the ␣ subunit of integrin ␣ IIb ␤ 3 (GPIIb-IIIa), a prototypic non-I domain integrin, remains elusive. In this study, we have characterized a Japanese variant of Glanzmann thrombasthenia, KO, whose platelets express normal amounts of ␣ IIb ␤ 3 . KO platelets failed to bind the activation-independent ligand-mimetic mAb OP-G2 and did not bind fibrinogen or the activation-dependent ligand-mimetic mAb PAC-1 following activation of ␣ IIb ␤ 3 under any condition examined.

“…In non-I-domain integrin ␣ subunits, particularly the ␣ IIb subunit, several ligand-binding sites have been identified by the characterization of naturally occurring mutations in patients with Glanzmann thrombasthenia as well as mutagenesis analyses. [15][16][17][18][19] However, ligand-binding regions of ␣ v remain elusive. To clarify the critical regions for ligand binding in the ␣ v subunit, we focused on the predicted W3 4-1 loop (C142-C155) and W3 2-3 loop (G172-G181) and investigated their role in ligand binding by alanine-scanning mutagenesis.…”

“…Interestingly, many critical residues identified in non-I-domain ␣ subunits have aromatic side chains, suggesting that in addition to oxygenated residues such as D163 in ␣ IIb , 16 aromatic residues are important for ligand binding. 45 The corresponding residues to the ␣ v Y178 in ␣ IIb (Y190), 18 ␣ 4 (Y187), 42,43 and ␣ 5 (F187), 43 and the adjacent residues Y186 and W188 in ␣ 3 40 have been demonstrated to be critical for ligand binding, although the role of W3 2-3 loop in ␣ 3 is still controversial.…”
