: Platelet integrin receptor αIIbβ3 supports platelet aggregation by binding fibrinogen. The interaction between the fibrinogen C-terminal γ-chain peptide composed of residues γ-404-411 (GAKQAGDV) and the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) binding pocket on αIIbβ3 is ...

Migfilin supports hemostasis and thrombosis through regulating platelet αIIbβ3 outside-in signaling. [PDF]
Elucidating the regulation mechanism of integrin αIIbβ3 is key to understand platelet biology and thrombotic diseases. Previous in vitro studies have implicated a role of migfilin in the support of platelet αIIbβ3 activation, however, contribution of ...

Mechanistic Basis for the Binding of RGD- and AGDV-Peptides to the Platelet Integrin αIIbβ3 [PDF]
© 2017 American Chemical Society.Binding of soluble fibrinogen to the activated conformation of the integrin αIIbβ3 is required for platelet aggregation and is mediated exclusively by the C-terminal AGDV-containing dodecapeptide (γC-12) sequence of the ...

High-resolution cryo-EM structure of integrin αIIbβ3 bound to disease-causing maternal HPA-1a antibody that blocks integrin activation. [PDF]
Integrins promote immunity, embryonic development, wound healing, and hemostasis, and are activated by ‘bent/closed’ to ‘extended/open’ conformational changes.

Strong Binding of Platelet Integrin αIIbβ3 to Fibrin Clots: Potential Target to Destabilize Thrombi [PDF]
The formation of platelet thrombi is determined by the integrin αIIbβ3-mediated interactions of platelets with fibrinogen and fibrin. Blood clotting in vivo is catalyzed by thrombin, which simultaneously induces fibrinogen binding to αIIbβ3 and converts ...

Directly Activating the Integrin αIIbβ3 Initiates Outside-In Signaling by Causing αIIbβ3 Clustering [PDF]
αIIbβ3 activation in platelets is followed by activation of the tyrosine kinase c-Src associated with the carboxyl terminus of the β3 cytosolic tail. Exogenous peptides designed to interact with the αIIb transmembrane (TM) domain activate single αIIbβ3 ...

Wdr1-Dependent Actin Reorganization in Platelet Activation. [PDF]
In resting platelets, the integrin αIIbβ3 is present in a low-affinity "bent" state. During platelet aggregation, intracytoplasmic signals induce conformational changes (inside-out signaling) that result in a "swung-out" conformation competent to bind ...

Cryo-EM structures of full-length integrin αIIbβ3 in native lipids
Platelet integrin αIIbβ3 is maintained in a bent inactive state (low affinity to physiologic ligand), but can rapidly switch to a ligand-competent (high-affinity) state in response to intracellular signals (“inside-out” activation).
