Berndt, and Xiaoping Du From the Department of Pharmacology, University of Illinois College of Medicine, Chicago; and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Monash University, Clayton, Australia. The platelet receptor for von Willebrand factor (VWF), glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX, mediates platelet adhesion and activation. The cytoplasmic domains of the GPIb and subunits contain binding sites for the phosphorylation-dependent signaling molecule, 14-3-3. Here we show that a novel membrane-permeable inhibitor of 14-3-3-GPIb interaction, MPC, potently inhibited VWF binding to platelets and VWF-mediated platelet adhesion under flow conditions. MPC also inhibited VWF-dependent platelet agglutination induced by ristocetin. Furthermore, activation of the VWF binding function of GPIb-IX induced by GPIb dephosphorylation is diminished by mutagenic disruption of the 14-3-3 binding site in the C-terminal domain of GPIb, mimicking MPC-induced inhibition, indicating that the inhibitory effect of MPC is likely to be caused by disruption of 14-3-3 binding to GPIb. These data suggest a novel 14-3-3-dependent regulatory mechanism that controls the VWF binding function of GPIb-IX, and also suggest a new type of antiplatelet agent that may be potentially useful in preventing or treating thrombosis.
