The precise localization of the epitopes for six monoclonal antibodies specific for the N-terminal region of human platelet glycoprotein IIIa (GPIIIa) was determined. The epitope for P37, a monoclonal antibody that inhibits platelet aggregation, was found at GPIIIa 101-109, flanked by the epitopes for P23-3 (GPIIIa 16-28), P23-4 (GPIIIa 83-91), P23-5 (GPIIIa 67-73), P23-7 (GPIIIa 114-122) and P40 (GPIIIa 262-302), and very close to the early chymotryptic cleavage site of GPIIIa in whole platelets (Phe-100). When the amino acid sequence of GPIIIa was searched for peptide sequences hydropathically complementary to the fibrinogen gamma-chain C-terminal (gamma 400-411) and A alpha-chain RGD-containing peptides, none was found for the gamma 400-411, two (GPIIIa 128-132 and 380-384) were found complementary to fibrinogen A alpha 571-575 and two (GPIIIa 109-113 and 129-133) were found for A alpha 94-99. Two of these putative fibrinogen-binding sites overlap with each other, and a third one overlaps with the epitope for P37. These findings reinforce the earlier suggestion that the N-terminal region of GPIIIa is involved in fibrinogen binding, and suggest the existence in GPIIIa of either multiple or alternative RGD-binding sites or one RGD-binding domain with several moieties. Finally, early chymotryptic cleavage of GPIIIa in whole platelets liberates to the soluble fraction the peptide stretch Ser-101-Tyr-348, which carries the epitope for P37 and the putative binding sites for fibrinogen. The rest of the molecule, together with the GPIIb-resistant moiety, remains membrane-bound. This leads us to propose that the fibrinogen-binding domain of GPIIIa is not involved in the binding to GPIIb to form the Ca2(+)-dependent GPIIb-GPIIIa complex.

Glycoprotein IIb (GPIIb) is a major glycoprotein of the human platelet plasma membrane, which together with glycoprotein IIIa (GPIIIa) forms a Ca2(+)-dependent heterodimer, GPIIb/IIIa, which serves as the major fibrinogen receptor in activated platelets. The precise localization of the epitopes for six anti-GPIIb monoclonal antibodies (M1-M6) has been determined by a combination of enzymic and chemical cleavage procedures, peptide isolation, N-terminal sequence analysis, peptide synthesis and enzyme immunoassay. The following localizations were found: M1, beta 1-16-36, beta 2-4-24; M2, alpha 747-755; M alpha 2, alpha 837-843; M3, alpha 849-857; M4, alpha 143-151; M5, alpha 550-558; M6, alpha 657-665. Besides considerations of the degree of exposure of these epitopes, several remarkable features are readily apparent. The earliest and main chymotryptic cleavage site of GPIIb in whole platelets is between alpha cysteine-545 and alpha phenylalanine-551. The epitope for M3 was located within the same sequence (alpha 842-857) as is the epitope for PMI-1 [Loftus, Plow, Frelinger, D'Souza, Dixon, Lacy, Sorge & Ginsberg (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 84, 7114-7118] in spite of the fact that the exposure of the latter in whole platelets is EDTA-dependent whereas that in the former is not. The epitope for M5 shares full homology with the 540-548 peptide stretch of the alpha-subunit of the vitronectin receptor, and this antibody cross-reacts with endothelial cells. The M6 epitope is located in the 25 kDa membrane-bound fragment of GPIIb, which is most epitope is destroyed at an early stage of chymotrypic digestion. This suggests that this region of GPIIb, somewhere between the epitope for M5 (alpha 550-558) and the epitope for M2 (alpha 747-755), may carry the surface of interaction of GPIIb with GPIIIa in the GPIIb/IIIa heterodimer. Finally, the sequence where the epitope for M6 has been located (alpha 657-667) was the only one found to be hydropathically complementary to the gamma 402-411 peptide of fibrinogen within the amino acid sequence of both GPIIb and GPIIIa. This complementariness, the EDTA- or thrombin-dependence of the exposure of the alpha 657-665 stretch in whole platelets to M6 and the ability of this antibody to inhibit platelet aggregation led us to postulate that this peptide stretch is a putative binding site for fibrinogen in the platelet receptor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

SummarySR121566 is a new synthetic agent which inhibits the binding of fibrinogen to activated platelets, and platelet aggregation. 3H-SR121566 bound with nanomolar affinity (KD ranging from 45 to 72 nM) to Gp IIb-IIIa expressing cells only. On activated human platelets, this ligand allowed the detection of a maximal number of 100-140,000 binding sites. The binding of SR121566 to platelets, was displaced by several agents including RGD-containing peptides and synthetic RGD mimetics, but not by ReoPro®, a humanised monoclonal antibody which inhibits the binding of fibrinogen to the Gp IIb-IIIa complex. Neither the fibrinogen dodecapeptide nor fibrinogen itself were able to compete with SR121566 whether platelets were activated or not.Flow cytometry studies indicated that SR121566 which did not activate Gp IIb-IIIa by itself, dose-dependently prevented the detection of activation-induced binding sites on TRAP-stimulated platelets in the presence or absence of exogenous fibrinogen, indicating a direct effect on the activation state of the Gp IIb-IIIa complex. Moreover, SR121566 was able to reverse the activation of Gp IIb-IIIa and to displace the binding of fibrinogen when added up to 5 min after TRAP stimulation of platelets. When added at later times (15 to 30 min), SR121566 failed to displace fibrinogen binding, even if SR121566 binding sites were still accessible and the Gp IIb-IIIa complex not activated.In conclusion, our study is in accordance with the finding that fibrinogen is recognised by the activated Gp IIb-IIIa complex through the dodecapeptide sequence present on its gamma chain, and that this interaction is inhibited by SR121566 by preventing and reversing the activated conformation of Gp IIb-IIIa and not by direct competition with fibrinogen.

Abstract A new monoclonal antibody (MoAb), SZ 2, reactive with the human platelet glycoprotein Ib complex has been produced by the hybridoma technique. SZ 2 immunoprecipitated the components of the glycoprotein Ib complex, glycoprotein Ib and glycoprotein IX, from Triton-X-100- solubilized, periodate-labeled platelets. Western blot analysis indicated that the epitope for SZ 2 was on the alpha-subunit of glycoprotein Ib. Scatchard analysis of SZ 2 binding to formaldehyde- fixed, washed platelets revealed a single class of binding sites with Kd = 6.6 +/- 3.3 X 10(-10) mol/L and 15,200 +/- 4,100 binding sites per platelet (mean +/- SD, n = 10). Intact antibody and its purified (Fab')2 fragments not only inhibited the ristocetin-dependent binding of von Willebrand factor to platelets and ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination but also inhibited platelet aggregation induced by Type I collagen and platelet-activating factor (PAF). SZ 2 inhibited platelet serotonin and beta-thromboglobulin release in response to these stimuli and also platelet thromboxane A2 formation in response to ristocetin and collagen. SZ 2 was without effect on platelet aggregation or release in response to other platelet stimuli such as ADP, thrombin, or arachidonic acid. The inhibition by SZ 2 of collagen- and PAF-induced platelet aggregation is surprising in that Bernard-Soulier syndrome platelets, which lack the glycoprotein Ib complex, respond normally to both these stimuli. SZ 2 was unreactive toward Bernard-Soulier syndrome platelets, as evaluated by fluorescence-associated cell sorting, and had no effect on the collagen- and PAF-induced aggregation of Bernard- Soulier syndrome platelets. The combined results suggest that the inhibition by SZ 2 of collagen- and PAF-induced aggregation of normal platelets is steric and are consistent with the glycoprotein Ib complex and the platelet collagen and PAF receptor(s) being adjacent in the human platelet plasma membrane.

Following stimulation with adenosine diphosphate (ADP), collagen, or arachidonic acid, unstirred human platelet suspensions bind 125I- fibrinogen in a reaction that reaches completion within 30 min. Scatchard analysis of these binding data reveals two sets of binding sites with all 3 agents: a high affinity site (Kd 0.029–0.045 microM) binding 1000–1600 fibrinogen molecules per platelet, and a lower affinity site (Kd 1.2–2.0 microM) binding 46,000–76,000 fibrinogen molecules per platelet. At a concentration of apyrase that inhibited ADP-induced fibrinogen binding by greater than 85%, fibrinogen binding induced by collagen and arachidonic acid was only partially affected. This suggests that fibrinogen binding induced by collagen or arachidonic acid does not require released ADP. We isolated a monoclonal antibody, B59.2, which precipitated the glycoprotein IIb- IIIa complex from solubilized platelet membranes. Binding of labeled antibody to platelets before or after exposure to ADP, collagen, or arachidonic acid showed a single class of approximately 22,000 binding sites with Kd 0.019 microM. Binding of B59.2 was complete within 1 min and was not inhibited by EDTA. Preincubation of platelet suspensions with a 2.1 microM concentration of B59.2 caused inhibition of secretion and aggregation, but not of thromboxane-B2 synthesis, in response to 1 microgram/ml collagen, 40 microM arachidonic acid, or 4 microM ADP, concentrations of aggregating agents that produced complete aggregation and secretion in the absence of B59.2. At this concentration of B59.2, fibrinogen binding to stimulated platelets was inhibited by approximately 45%-55%. These data demonstrate that collagen and arachidonic acid can expose fibrinogen binding sites independently of released ADP; and that the glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex is involved in secretion, aggregation, and fibrinogen binding, but not in thromboxane synthesis occurring in response to collagen, arachidonic acid, or ADP.
