Abstract:
:While studying patient plasma containing an unusual pattern of von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimers, we discovered a previously unreported phenomenon: heavy predominance of dimeric VWF. Genomic analysis revealed a new congenital mutation (Tyr87Ser) that altered the final stages of VWF biosynthesis. This mutation in the propeptide (VWFpp) resulted in synthesis of dimeric VWF with an almost complete loss of N-terminal multimerization. The multimer pattern in patient plasma appears to result from separate alleles' synthesizing wild-type or mutant (dimeric) VWF, with homodimers composing the predominant protomeric species. We have expressed VWF protein containing the Tyr87Ser mutation and analyzed the intracellular processing and resulting VWF biological functions. The expressed dimeric VWF displayed a loss of several specific functions: collagen binding, factor VIII binding, and ristocetin-induced platelet binding. However, granular storage of dimeric VWF was normal, demonstrating that the lack of multimerization does not preclude granular storage. Although the tertiary structure of the VWFpp remains unknown, the mutant amino acid is located in a region that is highly conserved across several species and may play a major role in the multimerization of VWF. Our data suggest that one function of the highly cysteine-rich VWFpp is to align the adjacent subunits of VWF into the correct configuration, serving as an intramolecular chaperone. The integrity of the VWFpp is essential to maintain the proper spacing and alignment of the multiple cysteines in the VWFpp and N-terminus of the mature VWF.
