We have previously obtained immunochemical evidence that the von Willebrand factor (vWF)-binding domain of the platelet membrane glycoprotein (GP) Ib is located near the amino terminus of the a subunit (Journal of Biological Chemistry 261: 12579-12585, 1986). We have now determined the complete amino acid sequence of the 45 kDa tryptic fragment of glycocalicin that contains this domain. Purified glycocalicin was subjected to limited digestion with trypsin and the proteolytic fragments were separated by size-exclusion high-pressure liquid chromatography. Two fragments of 45 kDa and 84 kDa, respectively, were obtained under nonreducing conditions. After reduction and S-carboxymethylation, the 84 kDa fragment was unchanged, while the 45 kDa fragment yielded two new fragments, one of 35 kDa and the other of 7 kDa. This finding proves the existence of a trypsin cleavage site within a disulfide loop. Two primary sets of overlapping fragments were obtained by cleavage of the carboxymethylated protein at methionyl and lysyl bonds following treatment with cyanogen bromide and Achromobacter protease I, respectively. Additional fragments were obtained by treatment of glycocalicin with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease and Serratia marcescens protease. Analysis of all these fragments provided data that allowed determination of the sequence of the amino terminal 299 residues of the GP Ib a-chain. This includes the 45 kDa tryptic fragment containing the vWF-binding domain. This 299-residue sequence, corresponding approximately to two thirds of the α-chain polypeptide, is largely hydrophobic and contains only two N-linked and one O-linked carbohydrate chains. A hydrophilic region exists between residues 215-299, with a cluster of ten negatively charged residues at 269-287. This area is likely to attract positively charged molecules. The hydrophilic, highly glycosylated (at Ser/Thr residues) region corresponding to the previously described "macroglycopeptide" begins at residue 292. The determined sequence of glycocalicin contains a region with seven repeats, indicative of gene duplication, and is highly homologous to human leucine-rich α2-glycoprotein.

Abstract Binding of the adhesive glycoprotein, von Willebrand factor (vWf), to the platelet membrane glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX-V complex initiates platelet adhesion and aggregation at high shear stress in hemostasis and thrombosis. In this study, the GP Ib-IX-V binding site within the vWf A1 domain was analyzed using a panel of murine monoclonal antibodies raised against a 39/34-kd vWf fragment (Leu-480/Val-481–Gly-718) encompassing the A1 domain. One antibody, 6G1, strongly inhibited ristocetin-dependent vWf binding to platelets, but had no effect on botrocetin- or jaracetin-dependent binding, or asialo-vWf–dependent platelet aggregation. The 6G1 epitope was mapped to Glu-700–Asp-709, confirming the importance of this region for modulation of vWf by ristocetin. Like ristocetin, 6G1 activated the vWf A1 domain, because it enhanced binding of the 39/34-kd fragment to platelets. In contrast, 5D2 and CR1 completely inhibited asialo-vWf–induced platelet aggregation and ristocetin-induced vWf binding to GP Ib-IX-V. However, only 5D2 blocked botrocetin- and jaracetin-induced vWf binding to platelets and binding of vWf to botrocetin- and jaracetin-coated beads. Epitopes for 5D2 and CR1 were conformationally dependent, but not congruent. Other antibodies mapped to epitopes within the A1 domain (CR2 and CR15, Leu-494–Leu-512; CR2, Phe-536–Ala-554; CR3, Arg-578–Glu-596; CR11 and CR15, Ala-564–Ser-582) were not functional, identifying regions of the vWf A1 domain not directly involved in vWf-GP Ib-IX-V interaction. The combined results provide evidence that the proline-rich sequence Glu-700–Asp-709 constitutes a regulatory site for ristocetin, and that ristocetin and botrocetin induce, at least in part, separate receptor-recognition sites on vWf.

In this paper, we have examined the functional domain of platelet membrane glycoprotein lb (GPIb) by using elastase and a monoclonal antibody against GPIb which specific inhibits both von Willebrand factor (vWF) and thrombin interaction with platelets. Elastase was purified from human granulocytes by using affinity column chromatography according to the method of Okada et al.. A monoclonal antibody against platelet membrane GPIb (56-2) which inhibits both vWF and thrombin-binding to platelets was used for this study. Platelet surface glycoproteins were labelled with 3H by the method of Nurden et al.. Purified GPIb was obtained by a modification of the method of Coller et al. and labelled with 125I using chloramine-T method. Either 3H-labelled platelets or 125I-labelled GPIb was treated with elastase for various time periods. Elastase-treated l25I-GPIb was subjected to immunoaffinity chromatography using 56-2 antibody to determine the functional site of GPIb. Elastase inhibited platelet aggregation or 5-HT release by thrombin, ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination and vWF-binding to platelets in the presence of ristocetin in a dose- and time dependent manner. A fluorogram of SDS-PAGE of 3H-labelled platelets treated with elastase revealed that GPIb band was reduced gradually, and fragments with MW of 97, 70, 60, 47, 44, 37, 25 and 15 KD were released from the platelets. The 47 KD fragment was initially cleaved from the platelets, and subsequently other fragments were digested. Similar results were obtained when purified 125I-GPIb was digested by elastase. When the fragments from purified 125I-GPIb were reacted with 56-2 antibody, only three fragments with MW of 47, 44 and 25 KD were immunoisolated. The electrophoretic mobility of all these three bands was altered under reduced conditions, indicating that all these fragments contain disulfide bonds in their molecules. The 25 KD band showed a much fainter in 3H-labelling than in 125I-labelling.These results suggest that the functional domains of GPIb for both vWF and thrombin-binding may be located in a less glycosylated fragment with a MW of 25 KD on the distal portion of the GPIb molecule, which should contain at least one intramolecular disulfide bond.
