Abstract

The fibrinogen receptor GPIIb-IIIa plays a crucial role in platelet aggregation. Here we show that the adenine nucleotide, 8-azido-ATP, inhibits ADP-induced conformational change of the platelet fibrinogen receptor GPIIb-IIIa (integrin αIIbβ3). Photoaffinity labeling of intact platelets with 8-azido[α-32P]ATP exclusively modifies two plasma-membrane glycoproteins which are identical with both subunits of GPIIb-IIIa. The presence of adenine-nucleotide-binding sites on GPIIb-IIIa implies that the platelet fibrinogen receptor is directly regulated by extracellular adenine nucleotides.
