| Abstract | Disulfide bond exchange among cysteine residues in epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains of beta3 was suggested to be involved in activation of alphaIIbbeta3. To investigate the role of specific beta3 cysteines in alphaIIbbeta3 expression and activation, we expressed in baby hamster kidney cells normal alphaIIb with normal beta3 or beta3 with single or double cysteine substitutions of nine disulfide bonds in EGF-3, EGF-4, and beta-tail domains and assessed alphaIIbbeta3 surface expression and activation state by flow cytometry using P2 or PAC-1 antibodies, respectively. Most mutants displayed reduced surface expression of alphaIIbbeta3. Disruptions of disulfide bonds in EGF-3 yielded constitutively active alphaIIbbeta3, implying that these bonds stabilize the inactive alphaIIbbeta3 conformer. Mutants of the Cys-567-Cys-581 bond in EGF-4 were inactive even after exposure to alphaIIbbeta3-activating antibodies, indicating that this bond is necessary for activating alphaIIbbeta3. Disrupting Cys-560-Cys-583 in the EGF-3/EGF-4 or Cys-608-Cys-655 in beta-tail domain resulted in alphaIIbbeta3 activation only when Cys-560 or Cys-655 of each pair was mutated but not when their partners (Cys-583, Cys-608) or both cysteines were mutated, suggesting that free sulfhydryls of Cys-583 and Cys-608 participate in alphaIIbbeta3 activation by a disulfide bond exchange-dependent mechanism. The free sulfhydryl blocker dithiobisnitrobenzoic acid inhibited 70% of anti-LIBS6 antibody-induced activation of wild-type alphaIIbbeta3 and had a smaller effect on mutants, implicating disulfide bond exchange-dependent and -independent mechanisms in alphaIIbbeta3 activation. These data suggest that different disulfide bonds in beta3 EGF and beta-tail domains play variable structural and regulatory roles in alphaIIbbeta3. |

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.
