Hemostasis and thrombosis (blood clotting) involve fibrinogen binding to integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) on platelets, resulting in platelet aggregation. alpha(V)beta(3) binds fibrinogen via an Arg-Asp-Gly (RGD) motif in fibrinogen's alpha subunit. alpha(IIb)beta(3) also binds to fibrinogen; however, it does so via an unstructured RGD-lacking C-terminal region of the gamma subunit (gamma C peptide). These distinct modes of fibrinogen binding enable alpha(IIb)beta(3) and alpha(V)beta(3) to function cooperatively in hemostasis. In this study, crystal structures reveal the integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3)-gamma C peptide interface, and, for comparison, integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) bound to a lamprey gamma C primordial RGD motif. Compared with RGD, the GAKQA-GDV motif in gamma C adopts a different backbone configuration and binds over a more extended region. The integrin metal ion-dependent adhesion site (MIDAS) Mg(2+) ion binds the gamma C Asp side chain. The adjacent to MIDAS (ADMIDAS) Ca(2+) ion binds the gamma C C terminus, revealing a contribution for ADMIDAS in ligand binding. Structural data from this natively disordered gamma C peptide enhances our understanding of the involvement of gamma C peptide and integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) in hemostasis and thrombosis.
