[ITB3_HUMAN] Defects in ITGB3 are a cause of Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) [MIM:273800]; also known as thrombasthenia of Glanzmann and Naegeli. GT is the most common inherited disease of platelets. It is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding of mild-to-moderate severity and the inability of this integrin to recognize macromolecular or synthetic peptide ligands. GT has been classified clinically into types I and II. In type I, platelets show absence of the glycoprotein IIb/beta-3 complexes at their surface and lack fibrinogen and clot retraction capability. In type II, the platelets express the glycoprotein IIb/beta-3 complex at reduced levels (5-20% controls), have detectable amounts of fibrinogen, and have low or moderate clot retraction capability. The platelets of GT 'variants' have normal or near normal (60-100%) expression of dysfunctional receptors.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
Function
[ITAV_HUMAN] The alpha-V integrins are receptors for vitronectin, cytotactin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, laminin, matrix metalloproteinase-2, osteopontin, osteomodulin, prothrombin, thrombospondin and vWF. They recognize the sequence R-G-D in a wide array of ligands. In case of HIV-1 infection, the interaction with extracellular viral Tat protein seems to enhance angiogenesis in Kaposi's sarcoma lesions. [ITB3_HUMAN] Integrin alpha-V/beta-3 is a receptor for cytotactin, fibronectin, laminin, matrix metalloproteinase-2, osteopontin, osteomodulin, prothrombin, thrombospondin, vitronectin and von Willebrand factor. Integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3 is a receptor for fibronectin, fibrinogen, plasminogen, prothrombin, thrombospondin and vitronectin. Integrins alpha-IIb/beta-3 and alpha-V/beta-3 recognize the sequence R-G-D in a wide array of ligands. Integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3 recognizes the sequence H-H-L-G-G-G-A-K-Q-A-G-D-V in fibrinogen gamma chain. Following activation integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3 brings about platelet/platelet interaction through binding of soluble fibrinogen. This step leads to rapid platelet aggregation which physically plugs ruptured endothelial surface. In case of HIV-1 infection, the interaction with extracellular viral Tat protein seems to enhance angiogenesis in Kaposi's sarcoma lesions.

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Integrin beta-subunits contain an N-terminal PSI (for plexin-semaphorin-integrin) domain that contributes to integrin activation and harbors the PI(A) alloantigen associated with immune thrombocytopenias and susceptibility to sudden cardiac death. Here we report the crystal structure of PSI in the context of the crystallized alphaVbeta3 ectodomain. The integrin PSI forms a two-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet flanked by two short helices; its long interstrand loop houses Pl(A) and may face the EGF2 domain. The integrin PSI contains four cysteine pairs connected in a 1-4, 2-8, 3-6, 5-7 pattern. An unexpected feature of the structure is that the final, eighth cysteine is located C-terminal to the Ig-like hybrid domain and is thus separated by the hybrid domain from the other seven cysteines of PSI. This architecture may be relevant to the evolution of integrins and should help refine the current models of integrin activation.
