The adhesion of ADP-stimulated platelets to immobilized fibrinogen induces the tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple proteins which include pp72syk and pp125FAK. The phosphorylation of these two proteins increases as function of time of platelet adhesion to fibrinogen; however, pp72syk results strongly phosphorylated already after 15 min, whereas pp125FAK reaches high levels of phosphorylation after 1 h of platelet adhesion. Phosphorylation of both proteins is only slightly detectable when platelets are held in suspension or when platelets are allowed to adhere to bovine serum albumin, a non-specific substrate. Echistatin, an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-containing snake-venom protein, affects protein tyrosine phosphorylation promoted by platelet adhesion to fibrinogen, by causing an approximately 44% and 39% decrease of pp72syk and pp125FAK phosphorylation, respectively. The interaction of echistatin with fibrinogen receptor glycoprotein IIb-IIIa on platelet surface might be responsible for the block of integrin-mediated signaling cascade, including pp72syk and pp125FAK inactivation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D010766 Phosphorylation The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety. Phosphorylations
D010973 Platelet Adhesiveness The process whereby PLATELETS adhere to something other than platelets, e.g., COLLAGEN; BASEMENT MEMBRANE; MICROFIBRILS; or other "foreign" surfaces. Adhesiveness, Platelet,Adhesivenesses, Platelet,Platelet Adhesivenesses

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.
