The molecular basis for the interaction between a prototypic
non-I-domain integrin, IIb 3, and its
ligands remains to be determined. In this study, we have characterized
a novel missense mutation (Tyr143His) in IIb associated
with a variant of Glanzmann thrombasthenia. Osaka-12 platelets
expressed a substantial amount of IIb 3
(36%-41% of control) but failed to bind soluble ligands, including a
high-affinity IIb 3-specific
peptidomimetic antagonist. Sequence analysis revealed that Osaka-12 is
a compound heterozygote for a single 521T>C substitution
leading to a Tyr143His substitution in IIb and for the
null expression of IIb mRNA from the maternal allele. Given that Tyr143 is located in the W3 4-1 loop of the -propeller domain of IIb, we examined the effects of Tyr143His or
Tyr143Ala substitution on the expression and function of
IIb 3 and compared them with KO (Arg-Thr
insertion between 160 and 161 residues of IIb)
and with the Asp163Ala mutation located in the same loop by using
293 cells. Each of them abolished the binding function of
IIb 3 for soluble ligands without
disturbing IIb 3 expression. Because
immobilized fibrinogen and fibrin are higher affinity/avidity ligands
for IIb 3, we performed cell adhesion and
clot retraction assays. In sharp contrast to KO mutation and
Asp163Ala IIb 3, Tyr143His IIb 3-expressing cells still had
some ability for cell adhesion and clot retraction. Thus, the
functional defect induced by Tyr143His IIb is likely
caused by its allosteric effect rather than by a defect in the
ligand-binding site itself. These detailed structure-function analyses
provide better understanding of the ligand-binding sites in integrins.
