malfunction | ATX SMB2 mutants with impaired binding to beta3 integrins display reduced LPA generating capacity. Mutation of a charged, surface-exposed residue at the N-terminus of the ATX SMB2 domain significantly reduces binding of ATX to platelet integrins. The effects of ATX on platelet and cell-associated LPA production, but not hydrolysis of small molecule or detergent-solubilized substrates, are attenuated by point mutations in the SMB2 that impair integrin binding | Homo sapiens |
additional information | ATX interacts with integrins, possible role for the solvent-exposed surface of the N-terminal tandem somatomedin B-like domains in binding to platelet integrin alphaIIbbeta3. The opposite face of the somatomedin B-like domain interacts with the catalytic phosphodiesterase domain to form a hydrophobic channel through which lysophospholipid substrates enter and leave the active site. Integrin binding therefore localizes ATX activity to the cell surface, providing a mechanism to generate LPA in the vicinity of its receptors | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | ATX moderately facilitates platelet adhesion to fibrinogen, synergistic effect of platelet activation and ATX on LPA generation. ATX binding to platelet integrins enables agonist-stimulated LPA production. The lysophospholipase D generates the bioactive lipid mediator lysophosphatidic acid. Integrin-bound ATX can access cell surface substrates and deliver LPA to cell surface receptors | Homo sapiens |
