Glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa serves as the platelet fibrinogen receptor.
Studies of the tertiary structure of GPIIIa have shown that the protein has
a large loop structure of at least 325 amino acids in length. To further
characterize this loop structure, intact platelets were digested with
alpha-chymotrypsin. Digestion products were examined using the anti-GPIIIa
monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) AP3, D3GP3, and C5GP3, as well as the human
alloantibody, anti-PLA1. AP3 recognized GPIIIa digestion products of 109,
95, and 68 Kd. D3GP3 and C5GP3 recognized an additional band of 51 Kd. Time
course digestions demonstrated that the 51-Kd fragment was generated by
proteolysis of the 68-Kd peptide. Sequence analysis of the reduced 51-Kd
peptide showed that this fragment began at amino acid 422. The nonreduced
51-Kd peptide was reactive with antibodies directed against the first 13
amino acids of GPIIIa, demonstrating the presence of a covalently attached
N-terminal peptide. These data suggest that: (1) the minimum length of the
loop structure is at least 384 amino acids; (2) the AP3 epitope is formed
at least in part by a determinant contained within residues 348 to 421; and
(3) the D3GP3 and C5GP3 epitopes are contained within amino acids 422 to
692 of GPIIIa, a region that may be flexible and involved in conformational
changes that occur after ligand binding.
