A potential role for α-actinin in inside-out αIIbβ3 signaling

Many different biochemical signaling pathways regulate integrin activation through the integrin cytoplasmic tail. Here, we describe a new role for α-actinin in inside-out integrin activation. In resting human platelets, α-actinin was associated with αIIbβ3, whereas inside-out signaling (αIIbβ3 activ...

Description
Summary:Many different biochemical signaling pathways regulate integrin activation through the integrin cytoplasmic tail. Here, we describe a new role for α-actinin in inside-out integrin activation. In resting human platelets, α-actinin was associated with αIIbβ3, whereas inside-out signaling (αIIbβ3 activation signals) from protease-activated receptors (PARs) dephosphorylated and dissociated α-actinin from αIIbβ3. We evaluated the time-dependent changes of the αIIbβ3 activation state by measuring PAC-1 binding velocity. The initial velocity analysis clearly showed that PAR1-activating peptide stimulation induced only transient αIIbβ3 activation, whereas PAR4-activating peptide induced long-lasting αIIbβ3 activation. When αIIbβ3 activation signaling dwindled, α-actinin became rephosphorylated and reassociated with αIIbβ3. Compared with control platelets, the dissociation of α-actinin from αIIbβ3 was only transient in PAR4-stimulated P2Y12-deficient platelets in which the sustained αIIbβ3 activation was markedly impaired. Overexpression of wild-type α-actinin, but not the mutant Y12F α-actinin, increased its binding to αIIbβ3 and inhibited PAR1-induced initial αIIbβ3 activation in the human megakaryoblastic cell line, CMK. In contrast, knockdown of α-actinin augmented PAR-induced αIIbβ3 activation in CMK. These observations suggest that α-actinin might play a potential role in setting integrins to a default low-affinity ligand-binding state in resting platelets and regulating αIIbβ3 activation by inside-out signaling.
