Modulating Integrin ?IIb?3 Activity through Mutagenesis of Allosterically Regulated Intersubunit Contacts.

ABSTRACT: Integrin ?IIb?3, a transmembrane heterodimer, mediates platelet aggregation when it switches from an inactive to an active ligand-binding conformation following platelet stimulation. Central to regulating ?IIb?3 activity is the interaction between the ?IIb and ?3 extracellular stalks, which form a tight heterodimer in the inactive state and dissociate in the active state. Here, we demonstrate that alanine replacements of sensitive positions in the heterodimer stalk interface destabilize the inactive conformation sufficiently to cause constitutive ?IIb?3 activation. To determine the structural basis for this effect, we performed a structural bioinformatics analysis and found that perturbing intersubunit contacts with favorable interaction geometry through substitutions to alanine quantitatively accounted for the degree of constitutive ?IIb?3 activation. This mutational study directly assesses the relationship between favorable interaction geometry at mutation-sensitive positions and the functional activity of those mutants, giving rise to a simple model that highlights the importance of interaction geometry in contributing to the stability between protein-protein interactions.

Integrin αIIbβ3, a transmembrane heterodimer, mediates platelet aggregation when it switches from an inactive to an active ligand-binding conformation following platelet stimulation. Central to regulating αIIbβ3 activity is the interaction between the αIIb and β3 extracellular stalks, which form a tight heterodimer in the inactive state and dissociate in the active state. Here, we demonstrate that alanine replacements of sensitive positions in the heterodimer stalk interface destabilize the inac ...[more]

Project description:Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) is an important signaling regulator that assembles into the heteroternary complex with adaptor proteins PINCH and parvin (termed the IPP complex). We recently reported that ILK is important for integrin activation in a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell system. We previously established parental CHO cells expressing a constitutively active chimeric integrin (?IIb?6B?3) and mutant CHO cells expressing inactive ?IIb?6B?3 due to ILK deficiency. In this study, we further investigated the underlying mechanisms for ILK-dependent integrin activation. ILK-deficient mutant cells had trace levels of PINCH and ?-parvin, and transfection of ILK cDNA into the mutant cells increased not only ILK but also PINCH and ?-parvin, resulting in the restoration of ?IIb?6B?3 activation. In the parental cells expressing active ?IIb?6B?3, ILK, PINCH, and ?-parvin were co-immunoprecipitated, indicating the formation of the IPP complex. Moreover, short interfering RNA (siRNA) experiments targeting PINCH-1 or both ?- and ?-parvin mRNA in the parent cells impaired the ?IIb?6B?3 activation as well as the expression of the other components of the IPP complex. In addition, ILK mutants possessing defects in either PINCH or parvin binding failed to restore ?IIb?6B?3 activation in the mutant cells. Kindlin-2 siRNA in the parental cells impaired ?IIb?6B?3 activation without disturbing the expression of ILK. For CHO cells stably expressing wild-type ?IIb?3 that is an inactive form, overexpression of a talin head domain (THD) induced ?IIb?3 activation and the THD-induced ?IIb?3 activation was impaired by ILK siRNA through a significant reduction in the expression of the IPP complex. In contrast, overexpression of all IPP components in the ?IIb?3-expressing CHO cells further augmented THD-induced ?IIb?3 activation, whereas they did not induce ?IIb?3 activation without THD. These data suggest that the IPP complex rather than ILK plays an important role and supports integrin activation probably through stabilization of the active conformation.
