To define the structural basis of ligand recognition by alphaIIb beta3, we conducted site-directed mutagenesis of residues located on the top surface of the beta3 I-domain that is homologous to the I-domain of several alpha subunits and contains a putative ligand binding site. Here we identify D158 and N215 in beta3 as novel residues critical for ligand binding. Alanine substitution of D158 or N215 abolished binding of a ligand-mimetic antibody and fibrinogen to alphaIIb beta3 induced by different types of integrin activation. CHO cells expressing recombinant alphaIIb beta3 bearing D158A or N215A mutation did not adhere to fibrinogen. These mutations had the same effect on ligand binding to another beta3 integrin, alphaVbeta3. Compared to the alphaI-domain structure, the betaB-betaC loop containing D158 in the beta3 I-domain is quite different in length and sequence. These results suggest that the structure for ligand recognition is different in the betaI- and alphaI-domains.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand

D003412 Cricetulus A genus of the family Muridae consisting of eleven species. C. migratorius, the grey or Armenian hamster, and C. griseus, the Chinese hamster, are the two species used in biomedical research.

D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.
