Effects of disulfide bond disruptions in the β3 subunit on αIIbβ3 and αvβ3 expression and activation

ND, not determined.

Domain Disrupted disulfide bond αIIbβ3
αvβ3
Surface expression Activation state Induced activation by anti-LIBS6 and Mn2+ Proposed role in αIIbβ3 structure and function Surface expression Activation state Induced activation by anti-LIBS6 and Mn2 + Proposed role in αvβ3 structure and function
EGF-1 Cys-437-Cys-457 40–50% of WT in all mutants Profoundly active Little further activation Essential for stabilization of the inactive conformer and for the EGF-1 folding 65–85% of WT in all mutants Moderately active Further activated Stabilization of the inactive conformer
EGF-2 Cys-473-Cys-503 ∼100% of WT in single mutants. 64% in C473S/C503S Highly active Little further activation Stabilization of the inactive conformer 65–80% of WT in single mutants. 46% in C473S/C503S Moderately active Further activated Stabilization of the inactive conformer
EGF-3 Cys-523-Cys-544 55% of WT in single mutants. 100% in C523S/C544S Moderately active Further activated Stabilization of the inactive conformer 50–60% of WT in single mutants. 100% in C523S/C544S Single mutants moderately active. C523S/C544S not active Further activated Regulatory role for free sulfhydryls in activation
EGF-4 Cys-560-Cys-583 50–70% of WT in all mutants C560S moderately active, C583S and C560S/C583S almost not active Further activated Regulatory role in activation 60–80% of WT in single mutants. 100% in C560/C583S C560S and C583S slightly active, C560S/C583S not active Further activated Regulatory role in activation
Cys-567-Cys-581 C567S; 20% of WT ND ND Important for the EGF-4 folding C567S; 32% of WT ND ND Important for the EGF-4 folding
Cys-575-Cys-586 C575S; 2% of WT ND ND Essential for the EGF-4 folding C575S; 8% of WT ND ND Essential for the EGF-4 folding
