Abstract
Actin-binding protein (ABP-280) is a component of the submembranous cytoskeleton and interacts with the glycoprotein (GP) Ibalpha subunit of the GP Ib-IX complex in platelets. In the present studies, we have identified the binding site for GP Ibalpha in ABP-280. A melanoma cell line lacking ABP-280 was stably transfected with the cDNAs coding for GP Ib-IX, then transiently transfected with cDNA coding for various carboxyl-truncates of ABP-280. Immunocapture assays and co-immunoprecipitation experiments from detergent-lysed cells showed that deletion of the carboxyl-terminal repeats 20-24 of ABP-280 had no effect on GP Ib-IX binding, but deletion of residues 2099 through 2136 within repeat 19 abolished binding. In the yeast two-hybrid system, an ABP-280 fragment comprising repeats 17-19 bound GP Ibalpha. Deletion from either end abolished binding. Individual or multiple repeats of ABP-280 were expressed as fusion protein in bacteria and purified; structural folding was evaluated, and binding to GP Ib-IX was assessed. Binding depended on the presence of repeats 17-19. None of the individual repeats were able to bind to GP Ib-IX. These findings demonstrate that residues 1850-2136 comprising repeats 17-19 contain the binding site for GP Ib-IX.
