We have reconstituted the platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IXmediated activation of the integrin
IIbß3 in a recombinant DNA expression model, and show that 14-3-3 is important in GPIb-IX signaling. CHO cells expressing
IIbß3 adhere poorly to vWF. Cells expressing GPIb-IX adhere to vWF in the presence of botrocetin but spread poorly. Cells coexpressing integrin
IIbß3 and GPIb-IX adhere and spread on vWF, which is inhibited by RGDS peptides and antibodies against
IIbß3. vWF binding to GPIb-IX also activates soluble fibrinogen binding to
IIbß3 indicating that GPIb-IX mediates a cellular signal leading to
IIbß3 activation. Deletion of the 14-3-3binding site in GPIb
inhibited GPIb-IXmediated fibrinogen binding to
IIbß3 and cell spreading on vWF. Thus, 14-3-3 binding to GPIb-IX is important in GPIb-IX signaling. Expression of a dominant negative 14-3-3 mutant inhibited cell spreading on vWF, suggesting an important role for 14-3-3. Deleting both the 14-3-3 and filamin-binding sites of GPIb
induced an endogenous integrin-dependent cell spreading on vWF without requiring
IIbß3, but inhibited vWF-induced fibrinogen binding to
IIbß3. Thus, while different activation mechanisms may be responsible for vWF interaction with different integrins, GPIb-IXmediated activation of
IIbß3 requires 14-3-3 interaction with GPIb
.
