Leukocyte interaction with homeostasis and thrombi.

Ligand Site on CR3 Site on ligand Function
GPIbα αMI, competing with heparin, fibrinogen, glucosamine Leucine- rich N-terminal region Adhesion and trans-platelet migration, pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic, NETosis (228, 229, 268270)
Fucoidan Divalent cation dependent Sulfates essential for binding Elastase release, reduced mobilization of bone marrow nucleated cells (57, 271)
CD44v3 Divalent cation dependent Heparan sulfate, Heparinase treatment almost completely inhibited the binding PMN-Epithelial Adhesion (272)
Heparin
heparan
αMI, competes with fibrinogen, FX, ICAM-1, iC3b sulfates essential for binding (168, 268, 273, 274)
Glucosamine αMI Anti-thrombotic, inhibits ligation to GPIbα (269)
FX (not FXa) Not mainly mediated by αMI, but iC3b competing and Ca2+ dependent Three distinct sequences surrounding the catalytic site: Gets activated to FXa by degranulation of activated leukocytes (cleavage by cathepsin G) (76, 188, 275277)
Kininogen αMI, overlapping with ICAM-1 and fibrinogen, divalent cation dependent, competition with ICAM-1 Domain 3, mainly the C-terminus of domain 5 Elastase release, formation of GPIbα:CR3, release of cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6) and chemokines (IL-8 and MCP-1), in complex with uPAR, LFA-1 and gC1qR? (230, 270, 278282)
Thrombomodulin Thrombomodulin domain 3 is required for binding to CR3. Interferes with ANCA binding, inhibition of neutrophil extracellular trap formation (283, 284)
protein-C receptor (285)
