Abstract

Savignygrin, a platelet aggregation inhibitor that possesses the RGD integrin recognition motif, has been purified from the soft tick Ornithodoros savignyi. Two isoforms with similar biological activities differ because of R52G and N60G in their amino acid sequences, indicating a recent gene duplication event. Platelet aggregation induced by ADP (IC50, 130 nm), collagen, the thrombin receptor-activating peptide, and epinephrine was inhibited, although platelets were activated and underwent a shape change. The binding of alpha-CD41 (P2) to platelets, the binding of purified alpha(IIb)beta3 to fibrinogen, and the adhesion of platelets to fibrinogen was inhibited, indicating a targeting of the fibrinogen receptor. In contrast, the adhesion of osteosarcoma cells that express the integrin alpha(v)beta3 to vitronectin or fibrinogen was not inhibited, indicating the specificity of savignygrin toward alpha(IIb)beta3. Savignygrin shows sequence identity to disagregin, a platelet aggregation inhibitor from the tick Ornithodoros moubata that lacks an RGD motif. The cysteine arrangement of savignygrin is similar to that of the bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor family of serine protease inhibitors. A homology model based on the structure ...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
