Intracellular signaling alters integrin adhesive functions in inflammation, immune responses, hemostasis, thrombosis, and retinal development. By truncating the cytoplasmic domain of alpha-IIb, the affinity of integrin alpha-IIb-beta-3, for ligand was increased. Reconstitution with the cytoplasmic domain from integrin alpha-5 did not reverse the increased affinity. Thus, the cytoplasmic domain of the alpha-subunit of GPIIb-IIIa controls ligand binding affinity, which suggests mechanisms for inside-out transmembrane signaling through integrins. These findings imply the existence of hitherto unappreciated hereditary and acquired thrombotic disorders in humans.
