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.
