Abstract excerpt
A single amino acid substitution in beta 3 (Asp119 --> Tyr) abrogates the ligand binding function of beta 3 integrins and alters the divalent cation conformation of the platelet integrin alpha IIb beta 3 (GPIIb-IIIa). This aspartic acid residue resides within a conserved cluster of oxygenated residues that may provide ligands for the coordination of divalent cations. To assign function to the other oxygenated...
