We have compared the binding of affinity-purified anti-PlA1 IgG from seven
nonrelated donors with chimeric integrin subunit beta 3 molecules expressed
in the baculovirus-Spodoptera frugiperda insect cell system. Beta 3
chimeras were engineered to include segments of antigenic human beta 3
sequences spliced to intervening segments of nonantigenic Xenopus beta 3
sequence. Our results clearly show that antibodies from all seven donors
will bind to nondenatured molecules containing the antigenic human beta 3
Cys26-Cys38 loop only when it is presented in a correct orientation that
must be maintained by noncontiguous human sequences. Key downstream
sequences are located within the region beta 3(288-490), flanking either
side of the putative long-range disulfide at Cys435. Although our results
confirm unambiguously that the Leu/Pro polymorphism at position 33 in human
beta 3 is necessary for the expression of PlA epitopes, they also indicate
that this polymorphic sequence alone is not sufficient. The requirement for
additional human beta 3 sequence transcends the need to maintain a correct
orientation within the Cys26-Cys38 loop itself, because the murine
monoclonal antibody SZ21, which recognizes the sequence beta 3(28-35)
contained within the Cys26-Cys38 loop, binds to all chimeras containing
this loop, even if the same chimeras are not recognized by anti-PlA1. Our
results indicate that additional noncontiguous residues encompassed by the
sequence 288-490 either directly contribute to the composition of the PlA1
epitope or, more likely, maintain the Cys26-Cys38 loop in a proper
orientation with respect to the remainder of the beta 3 molecule and
thereby maintain proper antigenic presentation of the sequences in that
loop.
