Abstract
αIIbβ3 and αvβ3 belong to the β3integrin subfamily. Although the β3 subunit is a key regulator for the biosynthesis of β3 integrins, it remains obscure whether missense mutations in β3 may induce the same defects in both αIIbβ3 and αvβ3. In this study, it is revealed that thrombasthenic platelets with a His280Pro mutation in β3, which is prevalent in Japanese patients with Glanzmann thrombasthenia, did contain significant amounts of αvβ3 (about 50% of control) using sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Expression studies showed that the His280Proβ3 mutation impaired αIIbβ3 expression but not αvβ3 expression in 293 cells. To extend these findings, the effects of several β3 missense mutations leading to an impaired αIIbβ3expression on αvβ3 function as well as expression was examined: Leu117Trp, Ser162Leu, Arg216Gln, Cys374Tyr, and a newly created Arg216Gln/Leu292Ser mutation. Leu117Trp and Cys374Tyr β3 mutations did impair αvβ3 expression, while Ser162Leu, Arg216Gln, and Arg216Gln/Leu292Ser mutations did not. With regard to ligand binding function, Ser162Leu mutation induced especially distinct effects between 2 β3 integrins: it markedly impaired ligand binding to αIIbβ3 but not to αvβ3 at all. These data clearly demonstrate that the biosynthesis and the ligand binding function of αIIbβ3 and those of αvβ3 are regulated in part by different mechanisms. Present data would be a clue to elucidate the regulatory mechanism of expression and function of β3 integrins.Keywords
