Abstract
Intracellular signaling alters integrin adhesive functions in inflammation, immune responses, hemostasis, thrombosis, and retinal development. By truncating the cytoplasmic domain of alpha IIb, the affinity of integrin alpha IIb beta 3 for ligand was increased. Reconstitution with the cytoplasmic domain from integrin alpha 5 did not reverse the increased affinity. Thus, the cytoplasmic domain of the alpha subunit of GPIIb-IIIa controls ligand binding affinity, which suggests mechanisms for inside-out transmembrane signaling through integrins. These findings imply the existence of hitherto unappreciated hereditary and acquired thrombotic disorders in humans.Keywords
