Integrin v 3 has been implicated
in angiogenesis and other biological processes. However, the
ligand-binding sites in v, a non-I-domain subunit,
remain to be identified. Recently in IIb, the other
partner of the 3 subunit, several discontinuous residues
important for ligand binding were identified in the predicted loops
between repeats 2 and 3 (W3 4-1 loop) and within repeat 3 (W3 2-3 loop). Based on these findings, alanine-scanning mutagenesis in
293 cells was used to investigate the role of these loops (cysteine [C]142-C155 and glycine [G]172-G181) of v in ligand
binding. Wild-type v 3 was able to bind
soluble fibrinogen following integrin activation either by 0.5 mM
manganese dichloride (MnCl2) or a mutation of
3 threonine (T)562 to asparagine. However, mutation of
tyrosine (Y)178 to alanine in the predicted G172-G181 loop of
v abolished fibrinogen binding, and alanine (A)
substitutions at adjacent residues phenylalanine (F)177 and tryptophan
(W)179 had a similar effect. Cells expressing Y178A v
also failed to bind to immobilized fibrinogen. Moreover, the Y178A
mutation abolished the binding of WOW-1 Fab, a monovalent
ligand-mimetic anti- v 3 antibody, and the
expression of 3 ligand-induced binding sites (LIBS)
induced by arginine-glycine-aspartic acid-tryptophan (RGDW). In sharp
contrast to the data obtained with IIb, none of the mutations in the predicted W3 4-1 loop in v impaired
ligand binding. These results implicate v Y178 in ligand
binding to v 3, and they suggest that
there are key structural differences in the adhesive ligand-binding
sites of v 3 and
IIb 3.
