Crystal structure of the complex of Glycoprotein Ib alpha and the von Willebrand Factor A1 Domain

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Transient interactions of platelet-receptor glycoprotein Ibalpha (GpIbalpha) and the plasma protein von Willebrand factor (VWF) reduce platelet velocity at sites of vascular damage and play a role in haemostasis and thrombosis. Here we present structures of the GpIbalpha amino-terminal domain and its complex with the VWF domain A1. In the complex, GpIbalpha wraps around one side of A1, providing two contact areas bridged by an area of solvated charge interaction. The structures explain the effects of gain-of-function mutations related to bleeding disorders and provide a model for shear-induced activation. These detailed insights into the initial interactions in platelet adhesion are relevant to the development of antithrombotic drugs.

  • Platelet glycoprotein Ib alpha has a role in the adhesion and migration of leukocytes on vascular thrombus[1].
  • Platelet glycoprotein 4 or CD36 functions as a receptor for thrombospondin and collagen [2].
  • Platelet glycoprotein 6 ha a role in collagen-induced platelet activation[3].
