Abstract

Platelet aggregation with Born test was performed in 9 normal dogs. ADP, Epinephrine and Collagen were employed to stimulate platelets. With ADP, canine platelet aggregation was lower than human platelet aggregation, while, with Epinephrine and Collagen, aggregation was similar to that obtained with human platelets. Therefore the dog might be a model to study pharmacological interactions on platelet function.

A novel DPH5-related diphthamide-deficiency syndrome causing embryonic lethality or profound neurodevelopmental disorder.

PURPOSE: Diphthamide is a post-translationally modified histidine essential for messenger RNA translation and ribosomal protein synthesis. We present evidence for DPH5 as a novel cause of embryonic lethality and profound neurodevelopmental delays (NDDs). METHODS: Molecular testing was performed using exome or genome sequencing. A targeted Dph5 knockin mouse (C57BL/6Ncrl-Dph5em1Mbp/Mmucd) was created for a DPH5 p.His260Arg homozygous variant identified in 1 family. Adenosine diphosphate-ribosylation assays in DPH5-knockout human and yeast cells and in silico modeling were performed for the identified DPH5 potential pathogenic variants. RESULTS: DPH5 variants p.His260Arg (homozygous), p.Asn110Ser and p.Arg207Ter (heterozygous), and p.Asn174LysfsTer10 (homozygous) were identified in 3 unrelated families with distinct overlapping craniofacial features, profound NDDs, multisystem abnormalities, and miscarriages. Dph5 p.His260Arg homozygous knockin was embryonically lethal with only 1 subviable mouse exhibiting impaired growth, craniofacial dysmorphology, and multisystem dysfunction recapitulating the human phenotype. Adenosine diphosphate-ribosylation assays showed absent to decreased function in DPH5-knockout human and yeast cells. In silico modeling of the variants showed altered DPH5 structure and disruption of its interaction with eEF2. CONCLUSION: We provide strong clinical, biochemical, and functional evidence for DPH5 as a novel cause of embryonic lethality or profound NDDs with multisystem involvement and expand diphthamide-deficiency syndromes and ribosomopathies.

Synergistic adhesive interactions and signaling mechanisms operating between platelet glycoprotein Ib/IX and integrin alpha IIbbeta 3. Studies in human platelets ans transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells.

This study investigates three aspects of the adhesive interaction operating between platelet glycoprotein Ib/IX and integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3). These include the following: 1) examining the sufficiency of GPIb/IX and integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) to mediate irreversible cell adhesion on immobilized von Willebrand factor (vWf) under flow; 2) the ability of the vWf-GPIb interaction to induce integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation independent of endogenous platelet stimuli; and 3) the identification of key second messengers linking the vWf-GPIb/IX interaction to integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation. By using Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with GPIb/IX and integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3), we demonstrate that these receptors are both necessary and sufficient to mediate irreversible cell adhesion under flow, wherein GPIb/IX mediates cell tethering and rolling on immobilized vWf, and integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) mediates cell arrest. Moreover, we demonstrate direct signaling between GPIb/IX and integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3). Studies on human platelets demonstrated that vWf binding to GPIb/IX is able to induce integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation independent of endogenous platelet stimuli under both static and physiological flow conditions (150-1800 s(-)(1)). Analysis of the key second messengers linking the vWf-GPIb interaction to integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation demonstrated that the first step in the activation process involves calcium release from internal stores, whereas transmembrane calcium influx is a secondary event potentiating integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation.

Labeling the Ca2+-ATPase of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum with maleimidylsalicylic acid.

Maleimidylsalicylic acid reacts with the Ca(2+)-ATPase of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum with high affinity and inhibits the ATPase activity following a pseudo-first-order kinetic with a rate constant of 8.3 m(-1) s(-1). Calcium binding remains unaffected in the maleimide-inhibited ATPase. However, the presence of ATP, ADP, and, to a lesser extent, AMP protects the enzyme against inhibition. Furthermore, ATPase inhibition is accompanied by a concomitant decrease in ATP binding. The stoichiometry of the nucleotide-dependent maleimidylsalicylic acid binding is 6-10 nmol/mg ATPase, which corresponds to the binding of up to one molecule of maleimide/molecule of ATPase. The stoichiometry of maleimide binding is decreased in the presence of nucleotides and in the ATPase previously labeled with fluorescein-5'-isothiocyanate or N-ethylmaleimide A fluorescent peptide was isolated by high performance liquid chromatography after trypsin digestion of the maleimide-labeled ATPase. Analysis of the sequence and mass spectrometry of the peptide leads us to propose Cys(344) as the target for maleimidylsalicylic acid in the inhibition reaction. The effect of Cys(344) modification on the nucleotide site is discussed.
