The recently published crystal structure of the external domains of V 3 confirms the prediction that the amino-terminal portion of V, which shares 40% homology with IIb, folds into a -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 IIb biogenesis, we characterized mutations in the second and third calcium-binding domains of 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 IIb and 3 cDNA constructs. By flow cytometry, expression of IIbV298F/ 3 in transfected cells was 28% of control, and expression of IIbI374T/ 3 was 11% of control. Pulse-chase analyses showed that both mutant pro- 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 IIb 3 is dramatically affected by structural variations in these regions of the calcium-binding domains. Energy calculations derived from a new model of the IIb -propeller indicate that these mutations interfere with calcium binding. These data suggest that the IIb calcium-binding domains play a key structural role in the -propeller, and that the structural integrity of the calcium-binding domains is critical for integrin biogenesis.
