| Abstract | A combination of experimental and computational approaches was used to provide a structural context for the role of the β3 integrin subunit ligand-associated metal binding site (LIMBS) in the binding of physiological ligands to β3 integrins. Specifically, we have carried out (1) adhesion assays on cells expressing normal αIIbβ3, normal αVβ3, or the corresponding β3 D217A LIMBS mutants; and (2) equilibrium and nonequilibrium (steered) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of eptifibatide in complex with either a fully hydrated normal αIIbβ3 integrin fragment (αIIb β-propeller and the β3 βA (I-like), hybrid, and PSI domains) or the equivalent β3 D217A mutant. Normal αIIbβ3 expressing cells adhered to immobilized fibrinogen and echistatin, whereas cells expressing the αIIbβ3 D217A LIMBS mutant failed to adhere to either ligand. Similarly, the equivalent αVβ3 mutant was unable to support adhesion to vitronectin or fibrinogen. The αIIbβ3 D217A mutation increased the binding of mAb AP5, which recognizes a ligand-induced binding site (LIBS) in the β3 PSI domain, indicating that this mutation induced allosteric changes in the protein. Steered MD simulating the unbinding of eptifibatide from either normal αIIbβ3 or the equivalent β3 D217A mutant suggested that the reduction in ligand binding caused by the LIMBS mutant required the loss of both the LIMBS and the metal ion-dependent adhesion site (MIDAS) metal ions. Our computational results indicate that the LIMBS plays a crucial role in ligand binding to αIIbβ3 by virtue of its effects on the coordination of the MIDAS. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
