Abstract excerpt
To explore the structural basis of ligand binding to alphaIIbbeta3, we conducted a site-directed mutagenesis of Y178, which is located in the ligand-specificity region (C177-C184) of the beta3 subunit. Two mutant beta3 constructs, Y178A and Y178I, were transfected into CHO cells and co-expressed with human alphaIIb subunit on the cell surface. Our results showed that the Y178A mutation affected processing and...
