Abstract

having little effect on the dynamics of the LRR locally, enhances the conformational dynamics of the GPIba C-terminal disulfide loop structure. Our data demonstrate for the first time that GOF variants outside the GPIba C-terminal disulfide loop may be pathogenic and that aminoacidic changes in the LRR may cause allosterically conformational changes in the C-terminal disulfide loop of GPIba, inducing a conformation with high affinity for VWF.
