The binding of metal ions to bovine factor IX 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The binding isotherms of Ca2+ and Mn2+ to bovine factor IX have been determined at pH 6.5 and pH 7.4, at 25 degrees C. At pH 7.4, at least 2 strong Ca2+ sites, with an average KDISS of 0.1 +/- 0.02 mM, are found. An additional 10 to 11 weaker Ca2+ binding sites, with an average KDISS of 1.3 +/- 0.2 mM are noted, at high levels of Ca2+. At pH 6.5, again at least 2 strong Ca2+ sites on factor IX are evident, with an average KDISS of 0.11 +/- 0.02 mM; but slightly fewer (7 to 8) weaker sites, with an average KDISS of 1.9 +/- 0.3 mM, are obtained. Qualitatively, the binding of Mn2+ to bovine factor IX appears similar to that of Ca2+. At pH 6.5, approximately 2 strong Mn2+ binding sites, with an average KDISS of 13 +/- 1.5 micrometer, and an additional 5 to 6 weak sites, with an average KDISS of 160 +/- 15 micrometer, are present. Manganese does not completely displace Ca2+; and Ca2+ does not completely displace Mn2+ from their respective binding sites. On the other hand, Tb3+ and Sm3+ readily displace Ca2+, at pH 6.5, from its sites on factor IX. The rate and extent of activation of bovine factor IX, by bovine factor XIa, is dependent on the Ca2+ concentration, up to concentrations of Ca2+ which saturate its effect on the system. Substitution of Sr2+ for Ca2+ leads to approximately 50% of the maximum rate of factor IXa formation, and final yield of factor IXa, in this activation system. Manganese does not substitute for Ca2+ in this activation, but does inhibit the stimulatory effect of Ca2+. Both Tb3+ and Sm3+ are effective inhibitors of Ca2+ in factor IX activation by factor XIa. 相似文献

A novel factor IX gene mutation (factor IX London 2) has been characterized. This causes severe crm+ haemophilia B as the patient's plasma shows normal factor IX antigen level and less than 1% clotting activity. Sequence analysis of the entire cloned coding and promoter regions revealed a single point mutation: a G----A transition at position 31,119. This region of the patient's DNA was amplified in vitro by the polymerase chain reaction and the nucleotide change was confirmed by direct sequencing of the amplified products. The mutation results in the substitution of the arginine at position 333 by glutamine. This arginine residue is absolutely conserved in the catalytic domain of normal human and bovine factor IX, X and prothrombin. The substitution by glutamine causes the loss of a positive charge from the surface of the factor IX London 2 protein. This mutation pinpoints a previously unknown, functionally critical feature of factor IX which may be involved in substrate or co-factor binding. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody to factor IX that inhibits the factor VIII:Ca potentiation of factor X activation 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
A murine monoclonal antibody (IgG1k, Kd approximately 10(-8) M) specific for an epitope located on the heavy chain of human factor IXa was used to study structure-function relationships of factor IX. The antibody inhibited factor IX clotting activity but did not impair activation of factor IX either by factor XIa/calcium or by factor VIIa/tissue factor/calcium. The antibody also did not impair the binding of factor IXa to antithrombin III. Moreover, the antibody did not prevent calcium and phospholipid (PL) from inhibiting the binding of factor IXa to antithrombin III. The antibody also failed to impair activation of factor VII by factor IXa/calcium/PL. Furthermore, the antibody did not interfere with the very slow activation of factor X by factor IXa/calcium/PL. In contrast, the antibody did interfere with factor X activation when reaction mixtures also contained factor VIII:Ca/von Willebrand factor. The marked acceleration of factor X activation observed in control mixtures was not observed in mixtures containing the antibody. Similar results were obtained in reaction mixtures containing the Fab portion of the antibody and factor VIII:Ca free of von Willebrand factor. In additional experiments, factor VIII:Ca/von Willebrand factor was found to inhibit the binding of the antibody to 125I-factor IXa as determined using an immunosorbent assay. Moreover, the antibody displaced factor VIII:Ca from the factor X activator complex (IXa/calcium/PL/VIII:Ca) as evidenced by an altered elution pattern on gel filtration chromatography. From these observations, we conclude that the antibody impairs the clotting activity of factor IXa through interference with its binding of factor VIII:Ca. This suggests a significant role for the heavy chain (residues of 181-415) of factor IXa in binding factor VIII:Ca. 相似文献

We have used chimeras and point mutations of recombinant coagulation factor IX to examine factor IX's specific interaction with bovine endothelial cells. Previously (Toomey, J. R., Smith, K. J., Roberts, H. R., and Stafford, D. W. (1992) Biochemistry 31, 1806-1808), we restricted the region of factor IX responsible for binding to endothelial cells to its Gla domain. Molecular modeling of the Gla domain of factor IX using the coordinates of the Gla domain of bovine prothrombin-(1-145) (Soriano-Garcia, M., Padmanabhan, K., deVos, A. M., and Tulinsky, A. (1992) Biochemistry 31, 2554-2566) reveals two major surface determinants whose sequences differ among factors IX, X, and VII. A chimeric protein comprised of the Gla domain of factor VII with the remainder of the molecule of factor IX did not bind to the endothelial cell binding site. We changed residues 33, 34, 35, 39, and 40 to those of factor IX without restoring endothelial cell binding. Replacement of amino acid residues 3-10 with those of factor IX restored normal binding. With the knowledge that specific binding was localized to the first 11 amino acids, point mutations were made at residues predicted to be on the surface in this region of the factor IX molecule. Changing lysine 5 to alanine (K5A) or valine 10 to lysine (V10K) resulted in loss of binding with total retention of in vitro clotting activity. The lysine 5 to arginine (K5R) mutation also was fully active in vitro but displayed 3-fold tighter binding. In addition to defining the sequence of factor IX necessary for binding to endothelial cells, these results suggest that the binding site is not phospholipid but instead is specific, and in all likelihood, protein. 相似文献

Endothelium provides a specific binding site for Factor IX/IXa which can propagate activation of coagulation by promoting Factor IXa-VIII-mediated activation of Factor X. In this report the endothelial cell Factor IX/IXa binding site has been identified and the coagulant function of the receptor blocked. Studies using [3H]Factor IX derivatized with the photoaffinity labeling agent N-succinimidyl-6-(4'-azido-2'-nitrophenylamino)hexanoate (SANPAH) and cultured bovine endothelial cells demonstrated cross-linking to a trypsin-sensitive cell surface protein of Mr approximately equal to 140,000. Immunoprecipitation of metabolically labeled endothelium with Factor IX derivatized with the cleavable cross-linking agent N-succinimidyl(4-azidophenyl)-1,3'-dithiopropionate and antibody to Factor IX demonstrated the endothelial cell origin of the Mr 140,000 cell surface protein. Blockade of the Factor IX/IXa binding protein by covalently linking SANPAH-5-dimethylaminonaphthalene-1-sulfonyl-Glu-Gly-Arg-Factor IXa or SANPAH-Factor IX prevented both specific Factor IXa binding and effective Factor IXa-VIII-mediated activation of Factor X on endothelium. Following extraction of endothelium with detergents, Factor IX/IXa binding activity was solubilized and could be assayed using a polyvinyl chloride plate binding assay. Western blots of cell extracts demonstrated binding of 125I-Factor IX at Mr approximately equal to 140,000 which was blocked by excess Factor IX, but not antisera to Factor VIII, von Willebrand factor, alpha 2-macroglobulin, or epidermal growth factor receptor. These data indicate that endothelium provides a distinct binding site for Factor IX/IXa consisting, at least in part, of a membrane protein which can modulate the coagulant activity of Factor IXa on the cell surface. 相似文献

Both factor IX and factor IXa were bound to gel filtered platelets in the presence of CaCl2 (2-20 mM) and human alpha-thrombin (0.06-0.2 units/ml) with maximal binding occurring in 10-20 min at 37 degrees C, and rapid reversibility was observed when unlabeled ligands were added in 100-fold molar excess. Competition studies with various coagulation proteins revealed that neither factor XI nor high molecular weight kininogen, at 300-fold molar excess, could compete with 125I-labeled factor IXa for binding sites on thrombin-activated platelets, whereas prothrombin and factor X, in 450-fold molar excess, could displace approximately 15 and 35%, respectively, of bound factor IXa in the absence of added factor VIII. Analysis of saturation binding data in the presence of CaCl2 and thrombin without factors VIII and X indicated the presence of 306 (+/- 57) binding sites per platelet for factor IX (Kd(app) = 2.68 +/- 0.25 nM) and 515 (+/- 39) sites per platelet for factor IXa (Kd = 2.57 +/- 0.14 nM). In the presence of thrombin-activated factor VIII (1-5 units/ml) and factor X (0.15-1.5 microM), the number of sites for factor IX was 316 (+/- 50) with Kd = 2.44 (+/- 0.30) nM and for factor IXa 551 (+/- 48) sites per platelet (Kd = 0.56 +/- 0.05 nM). Studies of competition for bound factor IXa by excess unlabeled factor IX or factor IXa, and direct 125I-labeled factor IXa binding studies in the presence of large molar excesses of factor IX, confirmed the conclusion from these studies that factor IX and factor IXa share approximately 300 low-affinity binding sites per thrombin-activated platelet in the presence of Ca2+ and in the absence of factor VIII and factor X, with an additional 200-250 sites for factor IXa with Kd(app) similar to that for factor IX. The presence of factor VIII and factor X increases by 5-fold the affinity of receptors on thrombin-activated platelets for factor IXa that participate in factor X activation. 相似文献

Binding of coagulation factors IX and X to the endothelial cell surface 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Bovine coagulation factors IX and X bind to independent sites on bovine aortic endothelial cells. Binding studies with cells maintained serum-free showed that there are at least two classes of binding sites for factor IX and factor X with a dissociation constant of 4.9 x 10(-9) M and 2.1 x 10(-8) M for the respective high affinity sites. Ca+2 was required for specific binding and was reversed by addition of EDTA or EGTA. Competition experiments showed that factor IX and factor IXa bind to the same sites, which are different from the factor X binding sites. Neither binding of factor IX or factor X is inhibited by addition of prothrombin or protein C. Indirect immunofluorescence of factor IX indicated that binding was diffuse on the cell surface. 相似文献

The endothelial cell binding determinant of human factor IX resides in the gamma-carboxyglutamic acid domain. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The blood coagulation factor IX(a) binds specifically to a site on endothelial cells with a Kd of 2.0-3.0 nM. A number of previous studies have attempted to define the region(s) of factor IX(a) that mediate this interaction. These studies suggested that there are two regions of factor IX(a), the gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) domain and the epidermal growth factor like (EGF-like) domains, that mediate high-affinity binding to endothelial cells. Recently, however, the participation of the EGF1 domain has been excluded from the interaction. This indicated that if there was an EGF component of factor IX contributing to the binding affinity, then it must be in the second EGF-like domain. In order to further evaluate this relationship, we performed competitive binding experiments between 125I plasma factor IX and a set of six chimeric proteins composed of portions of factor VII and factor IX. Our data suggest that the high-affinity interaction between factor IX and the endothelial cell binding site is mediated by the factor IX Gla domain and that the factor IX EGF domains are not involved in binding specificity. 相似文献

During hemostasis, factor IX is activated to factor IXabeta by factor VIIa and factor XIa. The glutamic acid-rich gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) domain of factor IX is involved in phospholipid binding and is required for activation by factor VIIa. In contrast, activation by factor XIa is not phospholipid-dependent, raising questions about the importance of the Gla for this reaction. We examined binding of factors IX and IXabeta to factor XIa by surface plasmon resonance. Plasma factors IX and IXabeta bind to factor XIa with K(d) values of 120 +/- 11 nm and 110 +/- 8 nm, respectively. Recombinant factor IX bound to factor XIa with a K(d) of 107 nm, whereas factor IX with a factor VII Gla domain (rFIX/VII-Gla) and factor IX expressed in the presence of warfarin (rFIX-desgamma) did not bind. An anti-factor IX Gla monoclonal antibody was a potent inhibitor of factor IX binding to factor XIa (K(i) 34 nm) and activation by factor XIa (K(i) 33 nm). In activated partial thromboplastin time clotting assays, the specific activities of plasma and recombinant factor IX were comparable (200 and 150 units/mg), whereas rFIX/VII-Gla activity was low (<2 units/mg). In contrast, recombinant factor IXabeta and activated rFIX/VIIa-Gla had similar activities (80 and 60% of plasma factor IXabeta), indicating that both proteases activate factor X and that the poor activity of zymogen rFIX/VII-Gla was caused by a specific defect in activation by factor XIa. The data demonstrate that factor XIa binds with comparable affinity to factors IX and IXabeta and that the interactions are dependent on the factor IX Gla domain. 相似文献

Factor IX is a blood clotting protein that contains three regions, including a gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) domain, two tandemly connected epidermal growth factor like (EGF-like) domains, and a serine protease region. The protein exhibits a high-affinity calcium binding site in the first EGF-like domain, in addition to calcium binding in the Gla domain. The first EGF-like domain, factor IX (45-87), has been synthesized. Sequence-specific resonance assignment of the peptide has been made by using 2D NMR techniques, and its secondary structure has been determined. The protein is found to have two antiparallel beta-sheets, and preliminary distance geometry calculations indicate that the protein has two domains, separated by Trp28, with the overall structure being similar to that of EGF. An NMR investigation of the calcium-bound first EGF-like domain indicates the presence and location of a calcium binding site involving residues on both strands of one of the beta-sheets as well as the N-terminal region of the peptide. These results suggest that calcium binding in the first EGF-like domain could induce long-range (possibly interdomain) conformational changes in factor IX, rather than causing structural alterations in the EGF-like domain itself. 相似文献

Studies of the mechanisms of blood coagulation zymogen activation demonstrate that exosites (sites on the activating complex distinct from the protease active site) play key roles in macromolecular substrate recognition. We investigated the importance of exosite interactions in recognition of factor IX by the protease factor XIa. Factor XIa cleavage of the tripeptide substrate S2366 was inhibited by the active site inhibitors p-aminobenzamidine (Ki 28 +/- 2 microM) and aprotinin (Ki 1.13 +/- 0.07 microM) in a classical competitive manner, indicating that substrate and inhibitor binding to the active site was mutually exclusive. In contrast, inhibition of factor XIa cleavage of S2366 by factor IX (Ki 224 +/- 32 nM) was characterized by hyperbolic mixed-type inhibition, indicating that factor IX binds to free and S2366-bound factor XIa at exosites. Consistent with this premise, inhibition of factor XIa activation of factor IX by aprotinin (Ki 0.89 +/- 0.52 microM) was non-competitive, whereas inhibition by active site-inhibited factor IXa beta was competitive (Ki 0.33 +/- 0.05 microM). S2366 cleavage by isolated factor XIa catalytic domain was competitively inhibited by p-aminobenzamidine (Ki 38 +/- 14 microM) but was not inhibited by factor IX, consistent with loss of factor IX-binding exosites on the non-catalytic factor XI heavy chain. The results support a model in which factor IX binds initially to exosites on the factor XIa heavy chain, followed by interaction at the active site with subsequent bond cleavage, and support a growing body of evidence that exosite interactions are critical determinants of substrate affinity and specificity in blood coagulation reactions. 相似文献

The gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) domains of the vitamin K-dependent blood coagulation proteins contain 10 highly conserved Gla residues within the first 33 residues, but factor IX is unique in possessing 2 additional Gla residues at positions 36 and 40. To determine their importance, factor IX species lacking these Gla residues were isolated from heterologously expressed human factor IX. Using ion-exchange chromatography, peptide mapping, mass spectrometry, and N-terminal sequencing, we have purified and identified two partially carboxylated recombinant factor IX species; factor IX/gamma 40E is uncarboxylated at residue 40 and factor IX/gamma 36,40E is uncarboxylated at both residues 36 and 40. These species were compared with the fully gamma-carboxylated recombinant factor IX, unfractionated recombinant factor IX, and plasma-derived factor IX. As monitored by anti-factor IX:Ca (II)-specific antibodies and by the quenching of intrinsic fluorescence, all these factor IX species underwent the Ca(II)-induced conformational transition required for phospholipid membrane binding and bound equivalently to phospholipid vesicles composed of phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylethanolamine. Endothelial cell binding was also similar in all species, with half-maximal inhibition of the binding of 125I-labeled plasma-derived factor IX at concentrations of 2-6 nM. Functionally, factor IX/gamma 36,40E and factor IX/gamma 40E were similar to fully gamma-carboxylated recombinant factor IX and plasma-derived factor IX in their coagulant activity and in their ability to participate in the activation of factor X in the tenase complex both with synthetic phospholipid vesicles and activated platelets. However, Gla 36 and Gla 40 represent part of the epitope targeted by anti-factor IX:Mg(II)-specific antibodies because these antibodies bound factor IX preferentially to factor IX/gamma 36,40E and factor IX/gamma 40E. These results demonstrate that the gamma-carboxylation of glutamic acid residues 36 and 40 in human factor IX is not required for any function of factor IX examined. 相似文献

The role of the epidermal growth factor-1 and hydrophobic stack domains of human factor IX in binding to endothelial cells. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

To determine the function and specificity in factor IX of the first epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain and the eight-amino acid hydrophobic stack encoded by exon C (residues 39-46), these domains were replaced by the corresponding polypeptide regions of factor X and chimeric proteins were produced in human embryo kidney cells. Both chimeras were activated by factor XIa at a rate similar to plasma factor IX and exhibited calcium-dependent fluorescence quenching similar to plasma factor IX. Both chimeras competed equally for binding to the endothelial cell receptor. Our findings make it unlikely that the first EGF-like domain or the hydrophobic stack of factor IX are responsible for the specific binding of factor IX to its endothelial cell receptor. 相似文献

The binding of factor IX to cultured bovine endothelial cells was characterized using isolated domains of bovine factor IX. An NH2-terminal fragment that consists of the gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) region linked to the two epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains bound to the endothelial cells with the same affinity as intact factor IX, indicating that the serine protease part of factor IX is not involved in binding. This fragment also inhibited the factor IXa beta'-induced clotting of plasma at a concentration that would suggest a competition for phospholipid binding sites. However, after proteolytic removal of the Gla region from the fragment, the two EGF-like domains inhibited clotting almost as effectively, suggesting a direct interaction between this part of the molecule and the cofactor, factor VIIIa. Using affinity-purified Fab fragments against the Gla region, the EGF-like domains, and the serine protease part, it was observed that the serine protease part of the molecule undergoes a large conformational change upon activation, whereas the Gla region and the EGF-like domains appear to be unaffected. All three classes of Fab fragments were equally efficient as inhibitors of the factor IXa beta'-induced clotting reaction. Part of factor Va and factor VIIIa have significant sequence homology to a lectin. We therefore investigated the effect on in vitro clotting of the recently identified unique disaccharide Xyl alpha 1-3Glc, that is O-linked to a serine residue in the NH2-terminal EGF-like domain of human factor IX (Hase, S., Nishimura, H., Kawabata, S.-I., Iwanaga, S., and Ikenaka, T. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 1858-1861). However, no effect on blood clotting was observed in the assay system used. Our results are compatible with a model in which the serine protease part provides the specificity of the binding of factor IXa to factor VIIIa-phospholipid, but that the EGF-like domain(s) also contributes to the interaction of the enzyme with its cofactor. 相似文献

The interactions of bovine factor IX, its activation intermediate, Factor IX alpha, and its activation products, Factor IXa alpha and Factor IXa beta, with phospholipid vesicles, of mean radius of approx. 30 nm, containing various amounts of phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylcholine (PC), have been examined. For Factor IX, Factor IX alpha, Factor IXa alpha and Factor IXa beta, the dissociation constants, at saturating levels of Ca2+, are independent of the PS concentration in the vesicle after levels of 20-30% (w/w) have been reached, and attain minimum values of approx. 1.7, 1.7, 0.7 and 1.0 microM, respectively, with vesicles containing 50% PS. The amount of protein bound per vesicle particle is independent of the PS content, above 20% PS, for Factor IX and Factor IXa beta, with values of approx. 995-1197 and 1128-1566 molecules/vesicle, respectively. With Factor IX alpha, a dependence on the amount of protein bound with the content of PS is seen, which ranges from 338 to 619 molecules/vesicle with membranes containing 30-50% PS. For Factor IXa alpha, no regularity is noted and a range of 583-1083 molecules of protein/vesicle is observed with the systems employed. Examination of the radii of the proteins on the vesicle demonstrates that Factors IX alpha and IXa alpha occupy considerably more of the surface than do Factors IX and IXa beta, suggesting that a reason for the decreased number of binding sites for the former two proteins on the vesicle may be related to their greater surface spatial requirements. 相似文献

Potential applications for functional RNAs are rapidly expanding, not only to address functions based on primary nucleotide sequences, but also by RNA aptamer, which can suppress the activity of any target molecule. Aptamers are short DNA or RNA folded molecules that can be selected in vitro on the basis of their high affinity for a target molecule. Here, we demonstrate the ability of RNA aptamers to recognize--and bind to--human IgG with high specificity and affinity. An optimized 23-nucleotide aptamer, Apt8-2, was prepared, and was shown to bind to the Fc domain of human IgG, but not to other IgG's, with high affinity. Apt8-2 was observed to compete with protein A, but not with the Fcgamma receptor, for IgG binding. NMR chemical-shift analyses localized the aptamer-binding sites on the Fc subdomain, which partially overlaps the protein A binding site but not the Fcgamma receptor binding site. The tertiary structures of the predicted recognition sites on the Fc domain differ significantly between human IgG and other species of IgGs; this, in part, accounts for the high specificity of the selected aptamer. Apt8-2 can therefore be used as a protein A alternative for affinity purification of human IgG and therapeutic antibodies. Using Apt8-2 would have several potential advantages, raising the possibility of developing new applications based on aptamer design. 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

Co(2+) binding RNA aptamers were chosen as research models to reveal the structural basis underlying the recognition of Co(2+) by RNA, with the application of two distinct methods. Using the nucleotide analog interference mapping assay, we found strong interference effects after incorporation of the 7-deaza guanosine phosphorotioate analog into the RNA chain at equivalent positions G27 and G28 in aptamer no. 18 and G25 and G26 in aptamer no. 20. The results obtained by nucleotide analog interference mapping suggest that these guanine bases are crucial for the creation of Co(2+) binding sites and that they appear to be involved in the coordination of the ion to the exposed N7 atom of the tandem guanines. Additionally, most 7-deaza guanosine phosphorotioate and 7-deaza adenosine phosphorotioate interferences were located in the common motifs: loop E-like in aptamer no. 18 and kissing dimer in aptamer no. 20. We also found that purine-rich stretches containing guanines with the highest interference values were the targets for hybridization of 6-mers, which are members of the semi-random oligodeoxyribonucleotide library in both aptamers. It transpired that DNA oligomer directed RNase H digestions are sensitive to Co(2+) and, at an elevated metal ion concentration, the hybridization of oligomers to aptamer targets is inhibited, probably due to higher stability and complexity of the RNA structure. 相似文献

When blood coagulation factor IX is converted to activated factor IX (factor IXa), it develops enzymatic activity and exposes the binding sites for both activated factor VIII and the endocytic receptor low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP). In the present study we investigated the interaction between factor IXa and LRP in more detail, using an affinity-purified soluble form of LRP (sLRP). Purified sLRP and full-length LRP displayed similar binding to factor IXa. An anti-factor IX monoclonal antibody CLB-FIX 13 inhibited factor IXa.sLRP complex formation. Both the antibody and a soluble recombinant fragment of LRP (i.e. cluster IV) interfered with factor IXa amidolytic activity, suggesting that the antibody and LRP share similar binding regions near the active site of factor IXa. Next, a panel of recombinant factor IXa variants with amino acid replacements in the surface loops bordering the active site was tested for binding to antibody CLB-FIX 13 and sLRP in a solid phase binding assay. Factor IXa variants with mutations in the region Phe(342)-Asn(346), located between the active site of factor IXa and factor VIII binding helix, showed reduced binding to both antibody CLB-FIX 13 and sLRP. Surface plasmon resonance analysis revealed that the variant with Asn(346) replaced by Asp displayed slower association to sLRP, whereas the variant with residues Phe(342)-Tyr(345) replaced by the corresponding residues of thrombin showed faster dissociation. Recombinant soluble LRP fragment cluster IV inhibited factor IXa-mediated activation of factor X with IC(50) values of 5 and 40 nm in the presence and absence of factor VIII, respectively. This inhibition thus seems to occur via two mechanisms: by interference with factor IXa.factor VIIIa complex assembly and by direct inhibition of factor IXa enzymatic activity. Accordingly, we propose that LRP may function as a regulator of blood coagulation. 相似文献
