Abstract

Fibrinogen γ-chain C-terminal peptide HHLG-GAKQAGDV (γ12) and γ-chain peptide GRGDSP are known to inhibit fibrinogen-mediated platelet cell aggregation via competitive interactions with platelet integrin receptor GPIIb/lIIa. NMR studies of γ12 in the presence of purified GPIlb/IIIa in SDS/water solution have demonstrated the presence of two γ12 binding states, one of which is eliminated by GRGDSP (RGD) up to a RGD: γ12 ratio of 2:1. RGD: γ12 ratios greater than 2:1 produce multiple sets of γ12 NMR signals in TOCSY pectra. At a ratio of 4:1, tw to four such resonance sets can be resolved for A405, Q407, A408, G409, D410 and V411 spin systems. The number of multiple resonances remains unchanged at ratios of 6:1 and 8:1. Addition of γ12 to reverse the ratio to 8:8 (1:1) has no apparent effect on the RGD-induced distribution. Results suggest that RGD irreversibly induces a conformational transition(s) in GPIIB/IIIa to produce multiple γ12 binding sites on the receptor.
