Although glycoprotein Ia/IIa (GPIa/IIa, integrin alpha(2)beta(1)) has established its role as a collagen receptor, it remains unclear whether GPIa/IIa mediates activation signals. In this study, we show that rhodocytin, purified from the Calloselasma rhodostoma venom, induces platelet aggregation, which can be blocked by anti-GPIa monoclonal antibodies. Studies with rhodocytin-coupled beads and liposomes loaded with recombinant GPIa/IIa demonstrated that rhodocytin directly binds to GPIa/IIa independently of divalent cations. In vitro kinase assays and Western blotting of GPIa immunoprecipitates revealed that Src and Lyn constitutively associate with GPIa/IIa and that Src activity increases transiently after rhodocytin stimulation. Src specifically associates with p130 Crk-associated substrate (Cas) in a manner dependent upon Cas phosphorylation, suggesting that Src is responsible for Cas tyrosine phosphorylation. While all these phenomena occur early after rhodocytin stimulation in a cAMP-resistant manner, tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk and phospholipase Cgamma2, intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization, and platelet aggregation occur later in a cAMP-sensitive manner. Cytochalasin D, which interferes with actin polymerization and blocks receptor clustering, inhibits all the rhodocytin-mediated signals we examined in this study. We suggest that rhodocytin, by clustering GPIa/IIa, activates GPIa/IIa-associated Src, which then mediates downstream activation signals.
