Localization of von Willebrand factor binding domains to endothelial extracellular matrix and to type VI collagen.
We have recently shown that von Willebrand factor (vWF) binds to endothelial and fibroblastic extracellular matrixes (ECM) in a dose-dependent, specific, and saturable way. To localize the domain on the vWF subunit responsible for this interaction, purified proteolytic fragments of vWF were compared for their ability to inhibit 125I-vWF binding to ECM. A tryptic dimeric fragment of 116 kD (T116...
متن کاملvon Willebrand factor binds to native collagen VI primarily via its A1 domain.
Collagen VI is abundant in the arterial subendothelium. To investigate its mechanism of interaction with von Willebrand factor (vWF), collagen VI was isolated from human placenta and from the extracellular matrix of the human lung fibroblast cell line MRC-5. Purified vWF bound to non-digested collagen VI with moderately high affinity (EC50 approximately 5 nM) and could be inhibited by the Hirud...
متن کاملRole of von Willebrand factor associated to extracellular matrices in platelet adhesion.
The respective role of plasmatic and endothelial extracellular matrix (ECM)-associated von Willebrand factor (vWF) in platelet adhesion was investigated at a high shear rate using a parallel-plate perfusion chamber. Incubation of the endothelial ECM with a monoclonal antibody (MoAb) to vWF, which specifically blocks vWF binding to platelet GP Ib (MoAb 322), inhibited 45% of platelet adhesion. C...
متن کاملvon Willebrand factor binds specifically to sulfated glycolipids.
The human plasma glycoprotein Factor VIII/von Willebrand factor (vWF) binds specifically and with high affinity to sulfatides (galactosylceramide-I3-sulfate). vWF does not bind to gangliosides, neutral glycolipids, phospholipids, or cholesterol 3-sulfate. Although the largest oligomers of vWF bind preferentially to sulfatides, vWF monomers and dimers also bind but with reduced affinity. vWF bin...
متن کاملvon Willebrand factor binds to platelets and induces aggregation in platelet-type but not type IIB von Willebrand disease.
Platelet-type von Willebrand disease (vWD) and pseudo-vWD are two recently described intrinsic platelet defects characterized by enhanced ristocetin-induced agglutination in platelet-rich plasma. A similar finding is also typical of type IIB vWD, where it has been related to a von Willebrand factor (vWF) rather than a platelet abnormality. Platelet aggregation induced by unmodified human vWF in...
