Identification of platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa as the major binding site for released platelet-von Willebrand factor. 1986

R I Parker, and H R Gralnick

We studied the effects(s) of two monoclonal antibodies, 6D1 and 10E5 (directed against platelet glycoprotein Ib [GPIb] and the GPIIb/IIIa complex, respectively), and purified human plasma fibrinogen on the binding of released platelet-von Willebrand factor (vWf) to the platelet surface. Neither of the monoclonal antibodies nor fibrinogen had any effect on the amount of platelet-vWf expressed on unstimulated platelets or on the amount expressed on platelets stimulated in the absence of extracellular Ca++. However, the antibody directed against GPIIb/IIIa inhibited 72% of the thrombin-induced increase in the platelet-vWf bound to the platelet surface when platelets were stimulated in the presence of 5 mmol/L Ca++. The antibody against GPIb did not inhibit the surface expression of platelet-vWf on stimulated platelets in the presence of Ca++. Purified normal human fibrinogen inhibited the surface binding of platelet-vWf to thrombin-stimulated platelets to a degree similar to that observed with the monoclonal antibody directed against the GPIIb/IIIa complex. These data indicate that platelet-vWf released from platelets binds primarily to the GPIIb/IIIa complex at or near the plasma fibrinogen binding site.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

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.
