The recently published crystal structure of the external domains of {alpha}V{beta}3 confirms the prediction that the amino-terminal portion of {alpha}V, which shares 40% homology with {alpha}IIb, folds into a {beta}-propeller structure, and that the four calcium-binding domains are positioned on the bottom of the propeller. To gain insight into the role of the calcium-binding domains in {alpha}IIb biogenesis, we characterized mutations in the second and third calcium-binding domains of {alpha}IIb in two patients with Glanzmann thrombasthenia. One patient inherited a V298F mutation in the second domain, and the other patient inherited an I374T mutation in the third domain. Mammalian cells expression studies were performed with normal and mutant {alpha}IIb and {beta}3 cDNA constructs. By flow cytometry, expression of {alpha}IIbV298F/{beta}3 in transfected cells was 28% of control, and expression of {alpha}IIbI374T/{beta}3 was 11% of control. Pulse-chase analyses showed that both mutant pro-{alpha}IIb subunits are retained in the endoplasmic reticulum and degraded. Mutagenesis studies of the V298 and I374 residues showed that these highly conserved, branch-chained hydrophobic residues are essential at these positions, and that biogenesis and expression of {alpha}IIb{beta}3 is dramatically affected by structural variations in these regions of the calcium-binding domains. Energy calculations derived from a new model of the {alpha}IIb {beta}-propeller indicate that these mutations interfere with calcium binding. These data suggest that the {alpha}IIb calcium-binding domains play a key structural role in the {beta}-propeller, and that the structural integrity of the calcium-binding domains is critical for integrin biogenesis.
