Activation of Platelet αIIbβ3 by an Exogenous Peptide Corresponding to the Transmembrane Domain of αIIb

Abstract: A transmembrane domain heterodimer, acting in concert with a membrane-proximal cytoplasmic domain clasp, is thought to maintain integrins in a low affinity state. To test whether helix-helix interactions between the ␣IIb and ␤3 transmembrane domains regulate the activity of integrin ␣IIb␤3, we synthesized a soluble peptide corresponding to the ␣IIb transmembrane domain, designated ␣IIb-TM, and we studied its ability to affect ␣IIb␤3 activity in human platelets. ␣IIb-TM was ␣-helical in detergent micelles and p… Show more

“…86 Subsequently, homodimerization of ␣IIb TM domain was also reported, and addition of ␣IIb TM domain peptide to platelets induced integrin activation and platelet aggregation. 87,88 Later work also raised the possibility that ␣IIb TMD peptide might activate ␣IIb␤3 by competing with the ␣IIb subunit for ␤3 TMD binding. 89 The earlier works established the concept of disrupting ␣-␤ interaction with a synthetic peptide.…”

“…Platelets were isolated from the platelet-rich plasma by gel filtration on Sepharose 2B (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, United Kingdom) using an elution buffer containing 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl 2 , 5.6 mM glucose, 0.35 mg/mL bovine serum albumin, 3.3 mM NaH 2 PO 4 , and 4 mM N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-NЈ-2-ethanesulfonic acid, pH 7.4, as previously described. 30 Turbidometric measurements of adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-stimulated platelet aggregation were made in a Chrono-Log (Havertown, PA) Lumi Dual-Aggregometer. Platelet suspensions were supplemented with human fibrinogen (Sigma-Aldrich) at final concentrations of 200 g/mL, 1 mM CaCl 2 , and various concentrations of RGDS (Sigma-Aldrich), echistatin, eristostatin, or tirofiban before adding ADP.…”
