Platelet integrin receptor αIIbβ3 supports platelet aggregation by binding fibrinogen. The interaction between the fibrinogen C-terminal γ-chain peptide composed of residues γ-404-411 (GAKQAGDV) and the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) binding pocket on αIIbβ3 is required for fibrinogen-mediated platelet aggregation, but data suggest that other ancillary binding sites on both fibrinogen and αIIbβ3 may lead to higher-affinity fibrinogen binding and clot retraction. To identify additional sites, we analyzed the ability of platelets and cells expressing normal and mutant αIIbβ3 to adhere to an immobilized fibrinogen plasmin fragment that lacks intact γ-404-411 ('D98').
