A Gln747right-arrow Pro Substitution in the alpha IIb Subunit Is Responsible for a Moderate alpha IIbbeta 3 Deficiency in Glanzmann Thrombasthenia

From The Second Department of Internal Medicine, Osaka University Medical School, Osaka, Japan; the Department of Blood Transfusion, Osaka University Hospital, Osaka, Japan; the Department of Clinical Pathology, Tokyo Medical College, Tokyo, Japan; and the Department of Cardiovascular Research, The Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science, Tokyo, Japan.

To clarify a molecular defect responsible for moderate alpha IIbbeta 3 deficiency, we examined two unrelated patients, MT and MS, suffering from type II and type I Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT), respectively. Sequence analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fragments derived from platelet mRNA showed a single Aright-arrowC substitution at nucleotide (nt) 2334 leading to a Gln747right-arrow Pro in alpha IIb in both patients. Allele-specific restriction enzyme analysis (ASRA) of genomic DNA demonstrated that patient MT was homozygous for the Gln747right-arrowPro substitution and patient MS was compound heterozygous for this substitution and for an RNA splice mutation at the consensus sequence of the splice acceptor site of exon 18 (AGright-arrowAA). Furthermore, ASRA showed that, among 17 unrelated Japanese GT patients, this Gln747right-arrowPro substitution was detected in 4 patients, including MT and MS (homozygous, 2 patients; heterozygous, 2 patients). Cotransfection of Pro747alpha IIb and beta 3 constructs into 293 cells resulted in moderate reduction in the amount of alpha IIbbeta 3 within the transfected cells as well as on the cell surface. However, Pro747alpha IIbbeta 3 bound the ligand mimetic monoclonal antibody (MoAb) PAC-1 after activation of alpha IIbbeta 3 by the MoAb PT25-2, suggesting that the mutant alpha IIbbeta 3 possesses the ligand-binding function. The association between the mutant proalpha IIb and beta 3 was not disturbed. Surface labeling and pulse chase study showed that the Gln747right-arrowPro substitution moderately impaired both intracellular transport of the alpha IIbbeta 3 heterodimers to the Golgi apparatus and endoproteolytic cleavage of proalpha IIb into heavy and light chains. By contrast, replacement of Gln747 with Ala by mutagenesis did not impair alpha IIbbeta 3 expression on the cell surface. These results suggest that the presence of Pro, rather than the absence of Gln, at amino acid residue 747 on alpha IIb is responsible for moderate alpha IIbbeta 3 deficiency.
