title: Beta 3 integrin derived peptide 217-230 inhibits fibrinogen binding and platelet aggregation: significance of RGD sequences and fibrinogen A alpha-chain.
abstract: beta 3 Integrin derived peptides 217-230 (DAPEGGFDAIMQAT) and 217-231 (Y) (DAPEGGFDAIMQATVY) at 100 microM inhibited 125I-fibrinogen binding to ADP-stimulated platelets and platelet aggregation. Peptide 217-231 (Y) (100 microM) significantly inhibited the binding of 125I-albolabrin (a disintegrin with a single RGD sequence) to ADP- and thrombin-activated platelets while it had only a slight effect on albolabrin binding to resting platelets. The 125I-beta 3 217-231 (Y) cross-linked selectively to the fibrinogen A alpha-chain. The interaction of the RGD sequence in the A alpha-chain of fibrinogen with beta 3 217-231 sequence appears to play a significant role in the events leading to platelet aggregation.
