Nematode Anticoagulant Protein c2 Reveals a Site on Factor Xa That Is Important for Macromolecular Substrate Binding to Human Prothrombinase

Abstract: The binding of recombinant nematode anticoagulant protein c2 (NAPc2) to either factor X or Xa is a requisite step in the pathway for the potent inhibition of VIIa tissue factor. We have used NAPc2 as a tight binding probe of human Xa to investigate protein substrate recognition by the human prothrombinase complex. NAPc2 binds with high affinity (K d ϳ1 nM) to both X and Xa in a way that does not require or occlude the active site of the enzyme. In contrast, NAPc2 is a tight binding, competitive inhibitor of pr… Show more

“…Human FVa was prepared by proteolytic activation of FV by thrombin and purified as described before (36). Oregon Green 488 -FXa (OG 488 -FXa) was prepared as described (30). Molecular weights and extinction coefficients (E 0.1% 280 nm) of the various proteins used were taken as follows: RVV X-CP , 93,000 and 1.18 (37); prothrombin, 72,000 and 1.47 (33); prethrombin-1, 49,900 and 1.78 (33); thrombin, 37,500 and 1.94 (38); FVa, 173,000 and 1.78 (39); FX, 59,000 and 1.16 (40); and FXa, 46,000 and 1.16 (40).…”

“…Reaction mixtures (2.5 ml) in a 1 ϫ 1-cm 2 quartz cuvette contained 20 or 30 nM OG 488 -FXa and 50 M PCPS in assay buffer to which increasing concentrations of FV/V(a) derivative (0.5-100 nM) were added. Fluorescence anisotropy or intensity measurements, including controls, were performed as described (29,34).…”
