摘要

Thrombus formation occurs when a platelet membrane receptor, glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX-V complex, binds to its ligand, von Willebrand factor (vWf), in the subendothelium or plasma. To determine which GP Ib-IX-V amino acid sequences are critical for bond formation, we have used optical tweezers to measure forces involved in the binding of vWf to GP Ib-IX-V variants. Inasmuch as GP Ibα subunit is the primary component in human GP Ib-IX-V complex that binds to vWf, and that canine GP Ibα, on the other hand, does not bind to human vWf, we progressively replaced human GP Ibα amino acid sequences with canine GP Ibα sequences to determine the sequences essential for vWf/GP Ibα binding. After measuring the adhesive forces between optically trapped, vWf-coated beads and GP Ibα variants expressed on mammalian cells, we determined that leucine-rich repeat 2 of GP Ibα was necessary for vWf/GP Ib-IX-V bond formation. We also found that deletion of the N-terminal flanking sequence and leucine-rich repeat 1 reduced adhesion strength to vWf but did not abolish binding. While divalent cations are known to influence binding of vWf, addition of 1mM CaCl_2 had no effect on measured vWf/GP Ibα bond strengths.
