Crystal Structure of N-Terminal Domain of Human Platelet Receptor Glycoprotein Ib-alpha at 1.7 Angstrom Resolution
Contents |
Overview
Thrombin bound to platelets contributes to stop bleeding and, in pathological conditions, may cause vascular thrombosis. We have determined the structure of platelet glycoprotein Ibalpha (GpIbalpha) bound to thrombin at 2.3 angstrom resolution and defined two sites in GpIbalpha that bind to exosite II and exosite I of two distinct alpha-thrombin molecules, respectively. GpIbalpha occupancy may be sequential, as the site binding to alpha-thrombin exosite I appears to be cryptic in the unoccupied receptor but exposed when a first thrombin molecule is bound through exosite II. These interactions may modulate alpha-thrombin function by mediating GpIbalpha clustering and cleavage of protease-activated receptors, which promote platelet activation, while limiting fibrinogen clotting through blockade of exosite I.

Known disease associated with this structure: Bernard-Soulier syndrome, type A OMIM:[606672], von Willebrand disease, platelet-type OMIM:[606672], Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, susceptibility to OMIM:[606672]
