We have previously demonstrated that a monoclonal antibody (5F7) directed against the heavy chain region of factor XI inhibits the binding of factor XI to high molecular weight kininogen (high Mr kininogen) and the surface-mediated proteolytic activation of factor XI by factor XIIa in the presence of high Mr kininogen. In order to identify the structural domain of factor XI that binds high Mr kininogen, CNBr-digested factor XI was passed over a 5F7 antibody affinity column. One of two CNBr peptides that bound to this 5F7 affinity column inhibited binding of 125I-factor XI to high Mr kininogen, as did intact factor XI. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate of an inhibitory peptide purified by high performance liquid chromatography revealed an Mr of 10,000-15,000. Gas-phase sequencing of this peptide revealed the following amino-terminal sequence: X-X-Val-Thr-Gln-Leu-Leu-Lys-Asp-Thr. These data together with the amino acid composition of the isolated peptide indicate that both the epitope recognized by antibody 5F7 and at least a portion of the high Mr kininogen binding site are contained within the amino-terminal portion of factor XI comprising residues Glu-1 through Met-102. Further cleavage of this peptide with o-iodosobenzoic acid at a tryptophanyl peptide bond revealed that an Mr 5,000 peptide (with the amino-terminal sequence Trp-Phe-Thr-Cys-Val-Leu) bound to a high Mr kininogen affinity column and inhibited binding of 125I-factor XI to high Mr kininogen. Finally, a synthetic peptide comprising residues Phe-56 through Ser-86 inhibited 125I-factor XI binding to high Mr kininogen. These experiments strongly suggest that the high Mr kininogen binding site is contained within the domain in the heavy chain region of factor XI comprising residues Phe-56 through Ser-86.  相似文献

We have previously used monoclonal antibodies to identify an epitope on the heavy chain of factor XIa that is a substrate-binding site for factor IX (Sinha, D., Seaman, F.S., and Walsh, P.N. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 3768-3775; Baglia, F.A., Sinha, D., and Walsh, P.N. (1989) Blood 74, 244-251). To define the factor XIa domain that binds factor IX, we have now screened a panel of factor XI heavy chain-derived synthetic peptides for their capacity to inhibit the formation of an activation peptide reflecting factor IX activation by factor XIa. Peptide Asn145-Ala176 (which is located in the second tandem repeat or A2 domain of the factor XI heavy chain) is a competitive inhibitor of factor IX activation by factor XIa with a Ki of 30 nM, whereas structurally similar peptides in the A1, A3, and A4 domains were required at 10-1000-fold higher concentrations for similar effects, and a synthetic peptide identical with a highly homologous region of the heavy chain A2 domain of prekallikrein (Tyr143-Ala176) had no effect on factor IX activation by factor XIa. Because detailed structural information is lacking, a potential three-dimensional structure for the factor XI A2 domain was calculated based on its sequence information in conjunction with previously determined structural constraints. The resulting structure depicted three juxtaposed beta-stranded stem-loops that, based on biological information, constitute a candidate surface for contact with factor IX. The A2 model was therefore used as a template in the rational design of three synthetic peptides (Ala134-Ile146 (peptide a), Leu148-Arg159 (peptide b), and Ile160-Leu172 (peptide c]. When peptides a and b or a and c were added together and the activation of factor IX by factor XIa was examined, a synergistic inhibitory effect was observed, compared with each peptide added individually, whereas peptides b and c showed additive effects. Our data suggest that the sequence of amino acids from Ala134 through Leu172 of the heavy chain of factor XI contains three antiparallel beta-strands connected by beta-turns that together comprise a continuous surface utilized for the binding of factor IX.  相似文献

Previously we defined binding sites for high molecular weight kininogen (HK) and thrombin in the Apple 1 (A1) domain of factor XI (FXI). Since prothrombin (and Ca(2+)) can bind FXI and can substitute for HK (and Zn(2+)) as a cofactor for FXI binding to platelets, we have attempted to identify a prothrombin-binding site in FXI. The recombinant A1 domain (rA1, Glu(1)-Ser(90)) inhibited the saturable, specific and reversible binding of prothrombin to FXI, whereas neither the rA2 domain (Ser(90)-Ala(181)), rA3 domain (Ala(181)-Val(271)), nor rA4 domain (Phe(272)-Glu(361)) inhibited prothrombin binding to FXI. Kinetic binding studies using surface plasmon resonance showed binding of FXI (K(d) approximately 71 nm) and the rA1 domain (K(d) approximately 239 nm) but not rA2, rA3, or rA4 to immobilized prothrombin. Reciprocal binding studies revealed that synthetic peptides (encompassing residues Ala(45)-Ser(86)) containing both HK- and thrombin-binding sites, inhibit (125)I-rA1 (Glu(1)-Ser(90)) binding to prothrombin, (125)I-prothrombin binding to FXI, and (125)I-prothrombin fragment 2 (Ser(156)-Arg(271)) binding to FXI. However, homologous prekallikrein-derived peptides (encompassing Pro(45)-Gly(86)) did not inhibit FXI rA1 binding to prothrombin. The peptides Ala(45)-Arg(54), Phe(56)-Val(71), and Asp(72)-Ser(86), derived from sequences of the A1 domain of FXI, acted synergistically to inhibit (125)I-rA1 binding to prothrombin. Mutant rA1 peptides (V64A and I77A), which did not inhibit FXI binding to HK, retained full capacity to inhibit rA1 domain binding to prothrombin, and mutant rA1 peptides Ala(45)-Ala(54) (D51A) and Val(59)-Arg(70) (E66A), which did not inhibit FXI binding to thrombin, retained full capacity to inhibit rA1 domain binding to prothrombin. Thus, these experiments demonstrate that a prothrombin binding site exists in the A1 domain of FXI spanning residues Ala(45)-Ser(86) that is contiguous with but separate and distinct from the HK- and thrombin-binding sites and that this interaction occurs through the kringle II domain of prothrombin.  相似文献

High-molecular-weight kininogen has been isolated from rat plasma in three steps in a relatively high yield. The purified preparation gave a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the absence and presence of 2-mercaptoethanol, and the apparent Mr was estimated as 100,000. On incubation with rat plasma kallikrein, rat high Mr kininogen yielded a kinin-free protein consisting of a heavy chain (Mr = 64,000) and a light chain (Mr = 46,000), liberating bradykinin. The kinin-free protein was S-alkylated, and its heavy and light chains were separated by a zinc-chelating Sepharose 6B column. The amino acid compositions of rat high Mr kininogen and its heavy and light chains were very similar to those of bovine high Mr kininogen and its heavy and fragment 1.2-light chains, respectively. A high histidine content in the light chain of rat high Mr kininogen indicated the presence of a histidine-rich region in this protein as in bovine high Mr kininogen, although this region was not cleaved by rat plasma kallikrein. Rat high Mr kininogen corrected to normal values the prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time of Brown-Norway Katholiek rat plasma known to be deficient in high Mr kininogen and of Fitzgerald trait plasma. The kinin-free protein had the same correcting activity as intact high Mr kininogen. Rat high Mr kininogen also accelerated approximately 10-fold the surface-dependent activation of rat factor XII and prekallikrein, which was mediated with kaolin, amylose sulfate, and sulfatide. These results indicate that rat high Mr kininogen is quite similar to human and bovine high Mr kininogens in terms of biochemical and functional properties.  相似文献

Unique sequence-binding sites are exposed on the surface of high molecular weight kininogen which complex prekallikrein or factor XI with high affinity and specificity. A sequence comprising 31 residues of the mature kininogen molecule (Asp565-Lys595) retains full binding activity for prekallikrein (K D =20 nM) and assumes a complex folded structure in solution which is stabilized by long-range interactions between N- and C-terminal residues. The sequence Trp569-Lys595 (27 residues) shows only 28% of this binding affinity and lacks the key structural features required for protein recognition (Scarsale, J. N., and Harris, R. B.,J. Prot. Chem. 9, 647–659, 1990). We were thus able to predict that N- or C-terminal truncations of the binding-site sequence would disrupt the conformational integrity required for binding. Two new peptides of 20- and 22- residues have now been synthesized and their solution phase structures examined. These peptides are N- and C-terminal truncations, respectively, of the 27-residue sequence and correspond to the sequences Asp576-Lys595 and Trp569-Asp590 of high molecular weight kininogen. The results of fluorescence emission and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies in the range 25–90°C and from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) all substantiate the idea that the C-terminal truncation peptide binds prekallikrein 35-fold poorer than the 31-residue peptide because it is relatively unoredered and possesses a less stable structure. Surprisingly, the N-terminal truncation peptide (20-mer) shows structural stability even at elevated temperatures and, like the 31-residue peptide, undergoes cold-induced denaturation observable in the DSC. 2D-NMR analysis of the 20-residue peptide revealed two distinct structures; one conformer possesses a more compact, folded structure than the other. However, the predicted structures assumed by either conformer are very different from those of either the 31- or 27-residue peptides. Hence, the binding affinity of the 20-residue peptide is 60-fold poorer than that for the 31-residue peptide because it assumes a nonproductive binding conformation(s).  相似文献

Human high Mr kininogen was purified from normal plasma in 35% yield. The purified high Mr kininogen appeared homogeneous on polyacrylamide gels in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and mercaptoethanol and gave a single protein band with an apparent Mr = 110,000. Using sedimentation equilibrium techniques, the observed Mr was 108,000 +/- 2,000. Human plasma kallikrein cleaves high Mr kininogen to liberate kinin and give a kinin-free, two-chain, disulfide-linked molecule containing a heavy chain of apparent Mr = 65,000 and a light chain of apparent Mr = 44,000. The light chain is histidine-rich and exhibits a high affinity for negatively charged materials. The isolated alkylated light chain quantitatively retains the procoagulant activity of the single-chain parent molecule. 125I-Human high Mr kininogen undergoes cleavage in plasma during contact activation initiated by addition of kaolin. This cleavage, which liberates kinin and gives a two-chain, disulfide-linked molecule, is dependent upon the presence of prekallikrein and Factor XII (Hageman factor) in plasma. Addition of purified plasma kallikrein to normal plasma or to plasmas deficient in prekallikrein or Factor XII in the presence or absence of kaolin results in cleavage of high Mr kininogen and kinin formation.  相似文献

We recently identified residues 185-224 of the light chain of human high molecular weight kininogen (HMWK) as the binding site for plasma prekallikrein (Tait, J.F., and Fujikawa, K. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 15396-15401). In the present study, we have further defined the primary structure requirements for binding of HMWK to factor XI and prekallikrein. In a competitive fluorescence polarization binding assay, a 31-residue synthetic peptide (residues 194-224 of the HMWK light chain) bound to prekallikrein with a Kd of 20 +/- 6 nM, indistinguishable from the previously determined value of 18 +/- 5 nM for the light chain. We also prepared three shorter synthetic peptides corresponding to different portions of the 31-residue peptide (residues 205-224, 212-224, and 194-211), but these peptides bound to prekallikrein more than 100-fold more weakly. Factor XI also bound to the same region of the HMWK light chain, but at least 58 residues (185-242) were required for optimal binding (Kd = 69 +/- 4 nM for the light chain; Kd = 130 +/- 50 nM for residues 185-242). The four synthetic peptides inhibited kaolin-activated clotting of blood plasma with potencies paralleling their affinities for prekallikrein and factor XI. Peptide 194-224 can also be used for rapid affinity purification of prekallikrein and factor XI from plasma.  相似文献

Plasma prekallikrein, a zymogen of the contact phase system, circulates in plasma as heterodimeric complex with H-kininogen. The binding is mediated by the prekallikrein heavy chain consisting of four apple domains, A1 to A4, to which H-kininogen binds with high specificity and affinity (K(D) = 1.2 x 10(-8) M). Previous work had demonstrated that a discontinuous kininogen-binding site is formed by a proximal part located in A1, a distal part exposed by A4, and other yet unidentified portion(s) of the kallikrein heavy chain. To detect relevant binding segment(s) we recombinantly expressed single apple domains and found a rank order of binding affinity for kininogen of A2 > A4 approximately A1 > A3. Removal of single apple domains in prekallikrein deletion mutants reduced kininogen binding by 21 (A1), 64 (A2), and 24% (A4), respectively, whereas deletion of A3 was without effect. Transposition of homologous A2 domain from prekallikrein to factor XI conferred high-affinity kininogen binding from the former to the latter. The principal role of A2 for H-kininogen docking to the prekallikrein heavy chain was further substantiated by the finding that cleavage of a single peptide bond in A2 drastically diminished the H-kininogen binding affinity. Furthermore, the epitope of monoclonal antibody PKH6 which blocks kallikrein-kininogen complex formation with an IC(50) of 8 nM mapped to the center portion of domain A2. Our data indicate that domain A2 and two flanking sequence segments of A1 and A4 form a discontinuous binding platform for H-kininogen on the prekallikrein heavy chain. Domain-specific antibodies directed to these critical sites efficiently interfered with contact phase-induced bradykinin release from H-kininogen.  相似文献

Human blood coagulation Factor XIa was reduced and alkylated under mild conditions. The mixture containing alkylated heavy and light chains was subjected to affinity chromatography on high Mr kininogen-Sepharose. Alkylation experiments using [14C]iodoacetamide showed that a single disulfide bridge between the light and heavy chains was broken to release the light chain. The alkylated light chain (Mr = 35,000) did not bind to high Mr kininogen-Sepharose while the heavy chain (Mr = 48,000), like Factors XI and XIa, bound with high affinity. The isolated light chain retained the specific amidolytic activity of native Factor XIa against the oligopeptide substrate, pyroGlu-Pro-Arg-p-nitroanilide. Km and kcat values for this substrate were 0.56 mM and 350 s-1 for both Factor XIa and its light chain, and the amidolytic assay was not affected by CaCl2. However, in clotting assays using Factor XI-deficient plasma in the presence of kaolin, the light chain was only 1% as active as native Factor XIa. Human coagulation Factor IX was purified and labeled with sodium [3H]borohydride on its carbohydrate moieties. When this radiolabeled Factor IX was mixed with Factor XIa, an excellent correlation was observed between the appearance of Factor IXa clotting activity and tritiated activation peptide that was soluble in cold trichloroacetic acid. Factor XIa in the presence of 5 mM CaCl2 activated 3H-Factor IX 600 times faster than Factor XIa in the presence of EDTA. In the absence of calcium, Factor XIa and its light chain were equally active in activating 3H-Factor IX. In contrast to Factor XIa, the light chain in this reaction was inhibited by calcium ions such that, in the presence of 5 mM CaCl2, Factor XIa was 2000 times more effective than its light chain. Neither phospholipid nor high Mr kininogen and kaolin affected the activity of Factor XIa or its light chain in the activation of 3H-Factor IX. These observations show that the light chain region of Factor XIa contains the entire enzymatic active site. The heavy chain region contains the high affinity binding site for high Mr kininogen. Furthermore the heavy chain region of Factor XIa plays a major role in the calcium-dependent mechanisms that contribute to the activation of Factor IX.  相似文献

Binding of coagulation factor XI to washed human platelets   总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8  
The binding of human coagulation factor XI to washed human platelets was studied in the presence of zinc ions, calcium ions, and high molecular weight kininogen. Significant factor XI binding occurred at physiological levels of these metal ions when high molecular weight kininogen was present. Binding required platelet stimulation and was specific, reversible, and saturable. Scatchard analysis of the binding yielded approximately 1500 binding sites per platelet with an apparent dissociation constant of approximately 10 nM. Since the concentration of factor XI in plasma is about 25 nM, this suggests that in plasma factor XI binding sites on stimulated platelets might be saturated. Calcium ions and high molecular weight kininogen acted synergistically to enhance the ability of low concentrations of zinc ions to promote factor XI binding. The similarity between the concentrations of metal ions optimal for factor XI binding and those optimal for high molecular weight kininogen binding, as well as the ability of high molecular weight kininogen to modulate these metal ion effects, implies that factor XI and high molecular weight kininogen may form a complex on the platelet surface as they do in solution and on artificial negatively charged surfaces.  相似文献
