Bidirectional signaling is an essential feature of IIb3 function. The IIb cytoplasmic domain negatively regulates 3-mediated inside-out signaling, but little is known about the regulation of IIb-mediated outside-in signaling. We show that IIb-mediated outside-in signaling is enhanced in platelets of a patient lacking the terminal 39 residues of the 3 cytoplasmic tail. This enhanced signaling was detected as thromboxane A2 (TxA2) production and granule secretion, and required ligand cross-linking of IIb3 and platelet aggregation. This outside-in signaling was specifically inhibited by a palmitoylated version of a 3 peptide corresponding to cytoplasmic domain residues R724-R734. Unlike the palmitoylated peptide, the nonpalmitoylated 3 peptide could not cross the platelet membrane and did not inhibit this outside-in signaling. The physiologic relevance of this 3-mediated negative regulation of IIb outside-in signaling was demonstrated in normal platelets treated with the palmitoylated peptide and a physiologic agonist. Binding of IIb3 complexes to immobilized peptides demonstrated that a peptide corresponding to 3 residues R724-R734 appears to bind to an IIb cytoplasmic domain peptide containing residues K989-D1002, but not to control peptides. These results demonstrate that IIb-mediated outside-in signaling resulting in TxA2 production and granule secretion is negatively regulated by a sequence of residues in the membrane distal 3 cytoplasmic domain sequence RKEFAKFEEER.
