HEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY

Two novel mutations in the alpha IIb calcium-binding domains identify hydrophobic regions essential for alpha IIbbeta 3 biogenesis

The recently published crystal structure of the external domains of alpha Vbeta 3 confirms the prediction that the aminoterminal portion of alpha V, which shares 40% homology with alpha IIb, folds into a beta -propeller structure and that the 4 calcium-binding domains are positioned on the bottom of the propeller. To gain insight into the role of the calcium-binding domains in alpha IIb biogenesis, we characterized mutations in the second and third calcium-binding domains of alpha IIb in 2 patients with Glanzmann thrombasthenia. One patient inherited a Val298Phe mutation in the second domain, and the other patient inherited an Ile374Thr mutation in the third domain. Mammalian cell expression studies were performed with normal and mutant alpha IIb and beta 3 cDNA constructs. By flow cytometry, expression of alpha IIb Val298Phe/beta 3 in transfected cells was 28% of control, and expression of alpha IIbIle374Thr/beta 3 was 11% of control. Pulse-chase analyses showed that both mutant pro-alpha IIb subunits are retained in the endoplasmic reticulum and degraded. Mutagenesis studies of the Val298 and Ile374 residues showed that these highly conserved, branch-chained hydrophobic residues are essential at these positions and that biogenesis and expression of alpha IIbbeta 3 is dramatically affected by structural variations in these regions of the calcium-binding domains. Energy calculations derived from a new model of the alpha IIb beta -propeller indicate that these mutations interfere with calcium binding. These data suggest that the alpha IIb calcium-binding domains play a key structural role in the beta -propeller, and that the structural integrity of the calcium-binding domains is critical for integrin biogenesis.
