Factor V(a) (FV(a)) is a cofactor for the serine protease factor X(a) that activates prothrombin to thrombin in the presence of Ca(2+) and a membrane surface. FV(a) is a heterodimer composed of one heavy chain (A1 and A2 domains) and one light chain (A3, C1, and C2 domains). We use fluorescence, circular dichroism, and equilibrium dialysis to demonstrate that (1) the FV C2 domain expressed in Sf9 cells binds one molecule of C6PS with a k(d) of approximately 2 microM, (2) stabilizing changes occur in the FV C2 domain upon C6PS binding, (3) the C6PS binding site in the FV C2 domain is located near residue Cys(2113), which reacts with DTNB, and (4) binding to a PS-containing membrane is an order of magnitude tighter than that to soluble C6PS. Coupled with a recently published crystal structure of the C2 domain, these results support a model for the mechanism of C2-membrane interaction.  相似文献

Factor X(a) (FX(a)) binding to factor V(a) (FV(a)) on platelet-derived membranes containing surface-exposed phosphatidylserine (PS) forms the "prothrombinase complex" that is essential for efficient thrombin generation during blood coagulation. There are two naturally occurring isoforms of FV(a), FV(a1) and FV(a2). These two isoforms differ by a 3-kDa polysaccharide chain (at Asn(2181) in human FV(a1) (Kim, S. W., Ortel, T. L., Quinn-Allen, M. A., Yoo, L., Worfolk, L., Zhai, X., Lentz, B. R., and Kane, W. H. (1999) Biochemistry 38, 11448-11454)) and have different coagulant activities. We examined the interaction of the two bovine isoforms with active site-labeled FX(a), finding no significant difference. A soluble form of PS (C6PS) bound to FV(a1) and FV(a2) with comparable affinities (K(d) = 11-12 microm) and changes in FV(a) intrinsic fluorescence. At concentrations well below its critical micelle concentration, C6PS binding to bovine FV(a2) enhanced its affinity for FX(a) in solution by nearly 3 orders of magnitude (K(d)(eff) = 40-2 nm over a C6PS range of 30-400 microm) but had no effect on the affinity of FV(a1) for FX(a) (K(d) = 1 microm). This results in a soluble complex between FX(a) and FV(a2), whose expected molecular weight was confirmed by calibrated native gel electrophoresis. This complex behaved as a normal Michaelis-Menten enzyme in its ability to produce thrombin from meizothrombin (apparent k(cat)/K(m) congruent with 10(9) m(-1) s(-1)). The ability of soluble PS to trigger formation of a soluble prothrombinase complex suggests that exposure of PS molecules during platelet activation is likely the key event responsible for the assembly of an active membrane-bound complex.  相似文献

Contributions of factor (F) VIIIa subunits to cofactor association with FIXa were evaluated. Steady-state fluorescence resonance energy transfer using an acrylodan-labeled A3-C1-C2 subunit and fluorescein-Phe-Phe-Arg-FIXa yielded K(d) values of 52 +/- 10 and 197 +/- 55 nM in the presence and absence of phospholipid vesicles, respectively. A3-C1-C2 was an effective competitor of FVIIIa binding to FIXa as judged by inhibition of FXa generation performed in the absence of vesicles (K(i) approximately 1.6K(d) for FVIIIa-FIXa). However, the capacity for A3-C1-C2 to inhibit FVIIIa-dependent FXa generation in the presence of phospholipid was poor with a K(i) values (approximately 400 nM) that were approximately 100-fold greater than the K(d) for FVIIIa-FIXa interaction (4.2 +/- 0.6 nM). These results indicated that a significant component of the interprotein affinity is contributed by FVIIIa subunits other than A3-C1-C2 in the membrane-dependent complex. The isolated A2 subunit of FVIIIa interacts weakly with FIXa, and recent modeling studies have implicated a number of residues that potentially contact the FIXa protease domain (Bajaj et al. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 16302-16309). Site-directed mutagenesis of candidate residues in the A2 domain was performed, and recombinant proteins were stably expressed and purified. Functional affinity determinations demonstrated that one mutant, FVIII/Asp712Ala exhibited an 8-fold increased K(d) (35 +/- 1.5 nM) relative to wild-type suggesting a contribution by this residue of approximately 10% of the FVIIIa-FIXa binding energy. Thus both A2 and A3-C1-C2 subunits contribute to the affinity of FVIIIa for FIXa in the membrane-dependent FXase.  相似文献

Optimal rates of factor X (FX) activation require binding of factor IXa (FIXa), factor VIII(a) [FVIII(a)], and FX to activated platelet receptors. To define the FVIIIa domains that mediate platelet interactions, albumin density gradient washed, gel-filtered platelets (3.5 x 10(8)/mL) activated by the thrombin receptor peptide, SFLLRN (25 microM), were incubated with 125I-labeled FVIII C2 domain, or 125I-FVIIIa, or 125I-FVIII((LC)), or peptides from the C2 domain region, with or without anti-C2 domain monoclonal antibodies (MoAb), ESH4 or ESH8. FVIIIa (Kd approximately 1.7 nM), FVIII((LC)) (Kd approximately 3 nM), and the C2 domain (Kd approximately 16 nM) all interacted with approximately 700-800 binding sites/platelet. Unlike FVIIIa, the C2 domain did not respond to the presence of excess EGR-FIXa (45 nM) and FX (1.5 microM) with enhanced binding stoichiometry and affinity. Both the MoAb ESH4 and a synthetic peptide corresponding to FVIII residues 2303-2332 (epitope for FVIII MoAb, ESH4) inhibited FVIIIa binding to platelets, whereas MoAb ESH8 and a C2 domain peptide corresponding to residues 2248-2285 (epitope for the FVIII MoAb, ESH8) failed to inhibit FVIIIa binding. Thus, a major platelet-binding site resides within residues 2303-2332 in the C2 domain of FVIIIa, and an additional site within residues 2248-2285 increases the stoichiometry and affinity of FVIIIa binding to activated platelets only in the presence of FIXa and FX but does not directly mediate FVIIIa binding to the platelet surface.  相似文献

Factor V(a) is a cofactor for the serine protease factor X(a) that activates prothrombin to thrombin in the presence of Ca(2+) and a platelet membrane surface. A platelet membrane lipid, phosphatidylserine (PS), regulates the proteolytic activity of factor X(a) as well as the structure of prothrombin. Here we ask whether PS also regulates the structure and cofactor activity of factor V(a), which is a heterodimer composed of one heavy chain (A1-A2 domains) and one light chain (A3-C1-C2 domains). We use fluorescence, circular dichroism, equilibrium dialysis, and activity measurements to demonstrate the following: (1) Factor V(a) has four sites for dicaproyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine (C(6)PS, a soluble form of PS); the heavy and light chains each bind two C(6)PS molecules. (2) In the absence of Ca(2+), only two sites remain, one in the heavy chain and another in the light chain. (3) Binding to these sites causes conformational changes evidenced by changes in intrinsic fluorescence and in CD spectra and changes in cofactor activity. (4) At least some of the four lipid binding sites are nonspecific with respect to soluble lipid species, but the site(s) that regulate(s) cofactor activity is (are) specific for C(6)PS, phosphatidic acid, or phosphatidyl(homo)serine and produce a response comparable to that seen with a PS-containing membrane. (5) Like Ca(2+), C(6)PS also mediates the interaction between factor V(a) heavy (V(a)-HC) and light (V(a)-LC) chains. We conclude that PS regulates both the cofactor and the enzyme of the prothrombin-activating complex.  相似文献

Activation of prothrombin to thrombin is catalyzed by a "prothrombinase" complex, traditionally viewed as factor X(a) (FX(a)) in complex with factor V(a) (FV(a)) on a phosphatidylserine (PS)-containing membrane surface, which is widely regarded as required for efficient activation. Activation involves cleavage of two peptide bonds and proceeds via one of two released intermediates or through "channeling" (activation without the release of an intermediate). We ask here whether the PS molecule itself and not the membrane surface is sufficient to produce the fully active human "prothrombinase" complex in solution. Both FX(a) and FV(a) bind soluble dicaproyl-phosphatidylserine (C6PS). In the presence of sufficient C6PS to saturate both FX(a) and FV(a2) (light isoform of FV(a)), these proteins form a tight (Kd = 0.6 +/- 0.09 nM at 37 degrees C) soluble complex. Complex assembly occurs well below the critical micelle concentration of C6PS, as established in the presence of the proteins by quasi-elastic light scattering and pyrene fluorescence. Ferguson analysis of native gels shows that the complex migrates with an apparent molecular mass only slightly larger than that expected for one FX(a) and one FV(a2), further ruling out complex assembly on C6PS micelles. Human prothrombin activation by this complex occurs at nearly the same overall rate (2.2 x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1)) and via the same reaction pathway (50-60% channeling, with the rest via the meizothrombin intermediate) as the activation catalyzed by a complex assembled on PS-containing membranes (4.4 x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1)). These results question the accepted role of PS membranes as providing "dimensionality reduction" and favor a regulatory role for platelet-membrane-exposed PS.  相似文献

Factor (F) VIII functions as a cofactor in FXase, markedly accelerating the rate of FIXa-catalyzed activation of FX. Earlier work identified a FX-binding site having μM affinity within the COOH-terminal region of the FVIIIa A1 subunit. In the present study, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), ELISA-based binding assays, and chemical cross-linking were employed to assess an interaction between FX and the FVIII light chain (A3C1C2 domains). SPR and ELISA-based assays showed that FVIII LC bound to immobilized FX (K(d) = 165 and 370 nM, respectively). Furthermore, active site-modified activated protein C (DEGR-APC) effectively competed with FX in binding FVIII LC (apparent K(i) = 82.7 nM). Western blotting revealed that the APC-catalyzed cleavage rate at Arg(336) was inhibited by FX in a concentration-dependent manner. A synthetic peptide comprising FVIII residues 2007-2016 representing a portion of an APC-binding site blocked the interaction of FX and FVIII LC (apparent K(i) = 152 μM) and directly bound to FX (K(d) = 7.7 μM) as judged by SPR and chemical cross-linking. Ala-scanning mutagenesis of this sequence revealed that the A3C1C2 subunit derived from FVIII variants Thr2012Ala and Phe2014Ala showed 1.5- and 1.8-fold increases in K(d) for FX, whereas this value using the A3C1C2 subunit from a Thr2012Ala/Leu2013Ala/Phe2014Ala triple mutant was increased >4-fold. FXase formed using this LC triple mutant demonstrated an ~4-fold increase in the K(m) for FX. These results identify a relatively high affinity and functional FX site within the FVIIIa A3C1C2 subunit and show a contribution of residues Thr2012 and Phe2014 to this interaction.  相似文献

Optimal rates of factor X (FX) activation require occupancy of receptors for factor IXa (FIXa), factor VIII (FVIII), and FX on the activated platelet surface. The presence of FVIII and FX increases 5-fold the affinity of FIXa for the surface of activated platelets, and the presence of FVIII or FVIIIa generates a high affinity, low capacity specific FX-binding site on activated platelets. We have now examined the effects of FX and active site-inhibited FIXa (EGR-FIXa) on the binding of both FVIII and FVIIIa to activated platelets and show the following: (a) von Willebrand factor inhibits FVIII binding (K(i) = 0.54 nM) but not FVIIIa binding; (b) thrombin and the thrombin receptor activation peptide (SFLLRN amide) are the most potent agonists required for FVIII-binding site expression, whereas ADP is inert; (c) FVa does not compete with FVIIIa or FVIII for functional platelet-binding sites; and (d) Annexin V is a potent inhibitor of FVIIIa binding (IC(50) = 10 nM) to activated platelets. The A2 domain of FVIII significantly increases the affinity and stoichiometry of FVIIIa binding to platelets and contributes to the stability of the FX-activating complex. Both FVIII and FVIIIa binding were specific, saturable, and reversible. FVIII binds to specific, high affinity receptors on activated platelets (n = 484 +/- 59; K(d) = 3.7 +/- 0.31 nM) and FVIIIa interacts with an additional 300-500 sites per platelet with enhanced affinity (K(d) = 1.5 +/- 0.11 nM). FVIIIa binding to activated platelets in the presence of FIXa and FX is closely coupled with rates of F-X activation. The presence of EGR-FIXa and FX increases both the number and the affinity of binding sites on activated platelets for both FVIII and FVIIIa, emphasizing the validity of a three-receptor model in the assembly of the F-X-activating complex on the platelet surface.  相似文献

The assembly of the factor X activating complex on the platelet surface requires the occupancy of three receptors: (1) enzyme factor IXa, (2) cofactor factor VIII(a), and (3) substrate factor X. To further evaluate this three-receptor model, simultaneous binding isotherms of (125)I-factor X and (131)I-factor VIII(a) to activated platelets were determined as a function of time and also as a function of the concentrations of both ligands in the presence of active site-inhibited factor IXa (45 nM) and 5 mM CaCl(2). In the presence of active site-inhibited factor IXa and factor VIIIa there are two independent factor X binding sites: (1) low affinity, high capacity (approximately 9000 sites/platelet; K(d) approximately 380 nM) and (2) low capacity, high affinity (1700 sites/platelet; K(d) approximately 30 nM). A single specific and selective factor X binding site was expressed (1200 sites/platelet; K(d) approximately 9 nM) when the shared factor X/factor II site was blocked by excess factor II (4 microM). In the presence of active site-inhibited factor IXa (4 nM) and factor II (4 microM), factor X binds to 3-fold more platelet sites than procofactor VIII with relatively low affinity (K(d) approximately 250 nM). The activation of procofactor VIII to factor VIIIa increases the affinity of binding to platelets of both factor VIIIa ( approximately 4-fold to K(d) approximately 0.8-1.5 nM) and factor X ( approximately 25-50-fold to K(d) approximately 5-9 nM). In the presence of excess zymogen factor IX, which blocks the shared factor IX/factor IXa binding site, the substrate, factor X, and the active cofactor, factor VIIIa, form a 1:1 stoichiometric complex. These coordinate binding studies support the conclusion that factor X initially binds to a high-capacity, low-affinity platelet binding site shared with prothrombin, which then presents factor X to a specific high-affinity site consisting of factor VIIIa bound to a high-affinity, low-capacity receptor on activated platelets.  相似文献

Factor V (FV) is a large (2,196 amino acids) nonenzymatic cofactor in the coagulation cascade with a domain organization (A1-A2-B-A3-C1-C2) similar to the one of factor VIII (FVIII). FV is activated to factor Va (FVa) by thrombin, which cleaves away the B domain leaving a heterodimeric structure composed of a heavy chain (A1-A2) and a light chain (A3-C1-C2). Activated protein C (APC), together with its cofactor protein S (PS), inhibits the coagulation cascade via limited proteolysis of FVa and FVIIIa (APC cleaves FVa at residues R306, R506, and R679). The A domains of FV and FVIII share important sequence identity with the plasma copper-binding protein ceruloplasmin (CP). The X-ray structure of CP and theoretical models for FVIII have been recently reported. This information allowed us to build a theoretical model (994 residues) for the A domains of human FV/FVa (residues 1-656 and 1546-1883). Structural analysis of the FV model indicates that: (a) the three A domains are arranged in a triangular fashion as in the case of CP and the organization of these domains should remain essentially the same before and after activation; (b) a Type II copper ion is located at the A1-A3 interface; (c) residues R306 and R506 (cleavage sites for APC) are both solvent exposed; (d) residues 1667-1765 within the A3 domain, expected to interact with the membrane, are essentially buried; (e) APC does not bind to FVa residues 1865-1874. Several other features of factor V/Va, like the R506Q and A221V mutations; factor Xa (FXa) and human neutrophil elastase (HNE) cleavages; protein S, prothrombin and FXa binding, are also investigated.  相似文献

Inhibition of factor XIa by protease nexin II (K(i) approximately 450 pM) is potentiated by heparin (K(I) approximately 30 pM). The inhibition of the isolated catalytic domain of factor XIa demonstrates a similar potentiation by heparin (K(i) decreasing from 436 +/- 62 to 88 +/- 10 pM) and also binds to heparin on surface plasmon resonance (K(d) 11.2 +/- 3.2 nM vs K(d) 8.63 +/- 1.06 nM for factor XIa). The factor XIa catalytic domain contains a cysteine-constrained alpha-helix-containing loop: (527)CQKRYRGHKITHKMIC(542), identified as a heparin-binding region in other coagulation proteins. Heparin-binding studies of coagulation proteases allowed a grouping of these proteins into three categories: group A (binding within a cysteine-constrained loop or a C-terminal heparin-binding region), factors XIa, IXa, Xa, and thrombin; group B (binding by a different mechanism), factor XIIa and activated protein C; and group C (no binding), factor VIIa and kallikrein. Synthesized peptides representative of the factor XIa catalytic domain loop were used as competitors in factor XIa binding and inhibition studies. A native sequence peptide binds to heparin with a K(d) = 86 +/- 15 nM and competes with factor XIa in binding to heparin, K(i) = 241 +/- 37 nM. A peptide with alanine substitutions at (534)H, (535)K, (538)H, and (539)K binds and competes with factor XIa for heparin-binding in a manner nearly identical to that of the native peptide, whereas a scrambled peptide is approximately 10-fold less effective, and alanine substitutions at residues (529)K, (530)R, and (532)R result in loss of virtually all activity. We conclude that residues (529)K, (530)R, and (532)R comprise a high-affinity heparin-binding site in the factor XIa catalytic domain.  相似文献

Interactions between factor Va and membrane phosphatidylserine (PS) regulate activity of the prothrombinase complex. Two solvent-exposed hydrophobic residues located in the C2 domain, Trp(2063) and Trp(2064), have been proposed to contribute to factor Va membrane interactions by insertion into the hydrophobic membrane bilayer. However, the prothrombinase activity of rHFVa W(2063, 2064)A was found to be significantly impaired only at low concentrations of PS (5 mol %). In this study, we find that 10-fold higher concentrations of mutant factor Va are required for half-maximal prothrombinase activity on membranes containing 25% PS. The ability of the mutant factor Va to interact with factor Xa on a membrane was also impaired since 4-fold higher concentrations of factor Xa were required for half-maximal prothrombinase activity. The interaction of factor Va with 25% PS membranes was also characterized using fluorescence energy transfer and surface plasmon resonance. We found that the affinity of mutant factor Va for membranes containing 25% PS was reduced at least 400-fold with a K(d) > 10(-7) M. The binding of mutant factor Va to 25% PS membranes was markedly enhanced in the presence of factor Xa, indicating stabilization of the factor Va-factor Xa-membrane complex. Our findings indicate that Trp(2063) and Trp(2064) play a critical role in the high-affinity binding of factor Va to PS membranes. It remains to be determined whether occupancy of this PS binding site in factor Va is also required for high-affinity binding to factor Xa.  相似文献

Binding of short chain phosphatidylserine (C6PS) enhances the proteolytic activity of factor X(a) by 60-fold (Koppaka, V., Wang, J., Banerjee, M., and Lentz, B. R. (1996) Biochemistry 35, 7482-7491). In the present study, we locate three C6PS binding sites to different domains of factor X(a) using a combination of activity, circular dichroism, fluorescence, and equilibrium dialysis measurements on proteolytic and biosynthetic fragments of factor X(a). Our results demonstrate that the structural responses of human and bovine factor X(a) to C6PS binding are somewhat different. Despite this difference, data obtained with fragments from both human and bovine factor X(a) are consistent with a common hypothesis for the location of C6PS binding sites to different structural domains. First, the gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) domain binds C6PS only in the absence of Ca(2+) (k(d) approximately 1 mm), although this PS site does not influence the functional response of factor X(a). Second, a Ca(2+)-dependent binding site is in the epidermal growth factor domains (EGF(NC)) that are linked by Ca(2+) and C6PS binding to the Gla domain. This site appears to be the lipid regulatory site of factor X(a). Third, a Ca(2+)-requiring site seems to be in the EGF(C)-catalytic domain. This site appears not to be a lipid regulatory site but rather to share residues with the substrate recognition site. Finally, the full functional response to C6PS requires linkage of the Gla, EGF(NC), and catalytic domains in the presence of Ca(2+), meaning that PS regulation of factor X(a) involves linkage between widely separated parts of the protein.  相似文献

The nature of residue 225 on a consensus loop in serine proteases determines whether a protease can bind Na(+). Serine proteases with a Pro at this position are unable to bind Na(+), but those with a Tyr or Phe can bind Na(+). Factor Xa (FXa), the serine protease of the prothrombinase complex, contains a Tyr at this position. Na(+) is also known to stimulate the amidolytic activity of FXa toward cleavage of small synthetic substrates, but the role of Na(+) in the prothrombinase complex has not been investigated. In this study, we engineered a Gla-domainless form of FX (GDFX) in which residue Tyr(225) was replaced with a Pro. We found that Na(+) stimulated the cleavage rate of chromogenic substrates by FXa or GDFXa approximately 8-24-fold with apparent dissociation constants [K(d(app))] of 37 and 182 mM in the presence and absence of Ca(2+), respectively. In contrast, Na(+) minimally affected the cleavage rate of these substrates by the mutant, and no K(d(app)) for Na(+) binding to the mutant could be estimated. Unlike the wild-type enzyme, the reactivity of the mutant with antithrombin was independent of Na(+) and impaired approximately 32-fold. Ca(2+) improved the reactivity of the mutant with antithrombin approximately 5-fold. Affinity of the mutant for binding to factor Va was weakened and its ability to activate prothrombin was severely impaired. Further studies with the wild-type prothrombinase complex revealed that FXa binds to factor Va with a similar K(d(app)) of 1. 1-1.8 nM in the presence of Na(+), K(+), Li(+), Ch(+), and Tris(+) and that the catalytic efficiency of prothrombinase is enhanced less than 1.5-fold by the specific effect of Na(+) in the reaction buffer. These results suggest that (1) the loop including residue 225 (225-loop) is a Na(+) binding site in FXa, (2) the Na(+)- and Ca(2+)-binding loops of FXa are allosterically linked, and (3) the Tyr conformer of the 225-loop is critical for factor Xa function; however, both Na(+)-bound and Na(+)-free forms of factor Xa in the prothrombinase complex can efficiently activate prothrombin.  相似文献

Previously we have determined that residues 88-109 (but not Arg(94)) in the second epidermal growth factor (EGF2)-like domain of factor IXa (FIXa) are important for assembly of the factor X (FX) activating complex on phospholipid vesicles (Wilkinson, F. H., London, F. S., and Walsh, P. N. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 5725-5733). Here we report that these residues are important for platelet binding affinity, stoichiometry, and assembly of the FX activating complex. We prepared several chimeric FIXa proteins using homologous sequences from factor VII (FVII): FIXa(FVIIEGF2) (FIX Delta 88-124,inverted Delta FVII91-127), FIXa(loop1) (FIX Delta 88-99,inverted Delta FVII91-102), FIXa(loop2) (FIX Delta 95-109,inverted Delta FVII98-112), and FIXa(loop3) (FIX Delta 111-124,inverted Delta FVII114-127) and tested their ability to bind to thrombin-activated platelets. Binding affinities (K(d) values in 10(-9) m) for the proteins were as follows in the presence and absence of FVIIIa, respectively: FIXa(N) (0.55 +/- 0.06, 2.9 +/- 0.45), FIXa(WT) (0.80 +/- 0.08, 3.5 +/- 0.5), FIXa(loop1) (19 +/- 4.0, 27 +/- 5.0), FIXa(loop2) (35 +/- 9.0, 65 +/- 12.0), and FIXa(loop3) (1.1 +/- 0.09, 5.0 +/- 0.90). These K(d) values are in good agreement with K((d)(app)) values (in 10(-9) m) determined from the activation of FX (in the presence and absence of FVIIIa, respectively): FIXa(N) (0.46 +/- 0.05, 1.40 +/- 0.14), FIXa(WT) (0.72 +/- 0.08, 3.8 +/- 0.08), FIXa(loop1) (3.2 +/- 0.72, 14.0 +/- 1.60), FIXa(loop2) (18.4 +/- 1.60, 26.3 +/- 3.40), and FIXa(loop3) (0.7 +/- 0.05, 3.0 +/- 0.15). Moreover, the stoichiometry of binding (sites/platelet) showed an agreement with V(max) of FX activation and was reduced in those proteins that also showed a decreased platelet binding affinity. A peptide corresponding to the FIX EGF2 domain (Leu(84)-Val(128)) was an effective inhibitor of FIXa binding to platelets in both the presence (K(i) = 0.7 x 10(-6) m) and the absence (K(i) = 1.5 x 10(-6) m) of FVIIIa and FX. We conclude that residues 88-109 of the FIXa EGF2 domain mediate binding to platelets and assembly of the FX activating complex.ut not Ar  相似文献

Detailed stopped-flow studies in combination with site-directed mutagenesis, isothermal titration calorimetry data and x-ray crystallographic knowledge have revealed that the biphasic pre-equilibrium fluorescence changes reported for a single Ig-binding domain of protein L from Peptostreptococcus magnus binding to kappa light chain are due to the binding of the kappa light chain at two separate sites on the protein L molecule. Elimination of binding site 2 through the mutation A66W has allowed the K(d) for kappa light chain binding at site 1 to be measured by stopped-flow fluorescence and isothermal titration calorimetry techniques, giving values of 48.0 +/- 8.0 nM and 37.5 +/- 7.3 nM respectively. Conversely, a double mutation Y53F/L57H eliminates binding at site 1 and has allowed the K(d) for binding at site 2 to be determined. Stopped-flow fluorimetry suggests this to be 3.4 +/- 0.8 microM in good agreement with the value of 4.6 +/- 0.8 microM determined by isothermal titration calorimetry. The mutation Y53F reduces the affinity of site 1 to approximately that of site 2.  相似文献

In the presence of 100 microM CTZ (K(I(CTZ))=60+/-6 microM), both the antagonist [3H]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-nitro-2,3-dioxo-benzo(F)quinoxaline-7-sulfonamide ([3H]NBQX: K(D)=24+/-4 nM, B(MAX)=12.0+/-0.1 pmol/mg protein) and the high-affinity agonist binding showed similar affinity reduction ([3H](S)F-Willardiine: K(D)=140+/-19 nM, B(MAX)=2.9+/-0.5 pmol/mg protein; [3H]NBQX: K(D)=111+/-34 nM, B(MAX)=12+/-3 pmol/mg protein). To disclose structural correlates underlying genuine allosteric binding interactions, molecular mechanics calculations of CTZ-induced structural changes were performed with the use of PDB data on extracellular GluR2 binding domain dimeric crystals available by now. Hydrogen-bonding and root mean square (rms) values of amino acid residues recognising receptor agonists showed minor alterations in the agonist binding sites itself. Moreover, CTZ binding did not affect dimeric subunit structures significantly. These findings indicated that the structural changes featuring the non-desensitised state could possibly occur to a further site of the extracellular GluR2 binding domain. The increase of agonist efficacy on allosteric CTZ binding may be interpreted in terms of a mechanism involving AMPA receptor desensitisation sequential to activation.  相似文献

Notecarin D (NotD) is a prothrombin (ProT) activator in the venom of the tiger snake, Notechis scutatus, and a factor Xa (FXa) homolog. NotD binds specifically to the FXa binding site expressed on factor V (FV) upon activation to factor Va (FVa) by thrombin. NotD active site-labeled with 5-fluorescein ([5F]FFR-NotD) binds FV and FVa with remarkably high affinity in the absence of phospholipids (K(D) 12 and ≤ 0.01 nm, respectively). In the presence of membranes, the affinity of [5F]FFR-NotD for FVa is similar, but increased ~55-fold for FV. Binding of FXa active site-labeled with Oregon Green to FV and FVa in the presence of phospholipids is ~5,000- and ~80-fold weaker than [5F]FFR-NotD, respectively. NotD reports FVa and not FV binding by a 3-fold increase in tripeptide substrate hydrolysis, demonstrating allosteric regulation by FVa. The NotD·FVa·membrane complex activates ProT with K(m)((app)) similar to prothrombinase, and ~85-fold weaker without membranes. Active site-blocked NotD exhibits potent anticoagulant activity in plasma thrombin generation assays, representing inhibition of productive prothrombinase assembly and possible disruption of FXa inhibition by the tissue factor pathway inhibitor. The results show that high affinity binding of NotD to FVa is membrane-independent, unlike the strict membrane dependence of FXa for high affinity FVa binding.  相似文献

We reported previously that residue 347 in activated fX (fXa) contributes to binding of the cofactor, factor Va (fVa) (Rudolph, A. E., Porche-Sorbet, R. and Miletich, J. P. (2000) Biochemistry 39, 2861-2867). Four additional residues that participate in fVa binding have now been identified by mutagenesis. All five resulting fX species, fX(R306A), fX(E310N), fX(R347N), fX(K351A), and fX(K414A), are activated and inhibited normally. However, the rate of inhibition by antithrombin III in the presence of submaximal concentrations of heparin is reduced for all the enzymes. In the absence of fVa, all of the enzymes bind and activate prothrombin similarly except fXa(E310N), which has a reduced apparent affinity ( approximately 3-fold) for prothrombin compared with wild type fXa (fXa(WT)). In the absence of phospholipid, fVa enhances the catalytic activity of fXa(WT) significantly, but the response of the variant enzymes was greatly diminished. On addition of 100 nm PC:PS (3:1) vesicles, fVa enhanced fXa(WT), fXa(R306A), and fXa(E310N) similarly, whereas fXa(R347N), fXa(K351A), and fXa(K414A) demonstrated near-normal catalytic activity but reduced apparent affinity for fVa under these conditions. All enzymes function similarly to fXa(WT) on activated platelets, which provide saturating fVa on an ideal surface. Loss of binding affinity for fVa as a result of the substitutions in residues Arg-347, Lys-351, and Lys-414 was verified by a competition binding assay. Thus, Arg-347, Lys-351, and Lys-414 are likely part of a core fVa binding site, whereas Arg-306 and Glu-310 serve a less critical role.  相似文献

Previously, we demonstrated that Ca(2+) was necessary for the generation of cofactor activity following reconstitution of factor VIII from its isolated light chain (LC) and heavy chain (HC) but that Ca(2+) did not affect HC-LC binding affinity (Wakabayashi et al. (2001) Biochemistry 40, 10293-10300). Titration of EDTA-treated factor VIII with Ca(2+) followed by factor Xa generation assay showed a two-site binding pattern, with indicated high-affinity (K(d) = 8.9 +/- 1.8 microM) and low-affinity (K(d) = 4.0 +/- 0.6 mM) sites. Analysis by equilibrium dialysis using (45)Ca and <400 microM free Ca(2+) verified a high-affinity binding (K(d) = 18.9 +/- 3.7 microM). Preincubation of either HC or LC with 6 mM Ca(2+) followed by reassociation with the untreated complementary chain in the presence of 0.12 mM Ca(2+) failed to generate significant cofactor activity (<0.5 nM min(-1) (nM LC)(-1)). However, pretreatment of both HC and LC with 6 mM Ca(2+) followed by reassociation (at 0.12 mM Ca(2+)) generated high activity (7.5 +/- 0.4 nM min(-1) (nM LC)(-1)). Progress curves for activity regain following factor VIII-Ca(2+) association kinetics fitted well to a series reaction scheme rather than one of simple association (p < 0.0001), suggesting a multistep process which may include a Ca(2+)-dependent conformational change. These results suggest that factor VIII contains two Ca(2+) binding sites with different affinities and that active factor VIII can be reconstituted from HC and LC only when both chains are preactivated by Ca(2+).  相似文献
