Abstract
Factor IXChapel Hill (Factor IXCH), an abnormal Factor IX molecule isolated from the plasma of a patient with mild hemophilia B, has previously been shown to exhibit delayed activation by Factor XIa and calcium. In this study, we have found that Factor IXCH is cleaved upon incubation with human Factor XIa and calcium; however, cleavage of this protein is not observed by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions. Under reducing conditions, the rate of disappearance of the zymogen parallels both the appearance of the heavy chain and the generation of clotting activity. In addition, a protein band that migrates with an apparent molecular weight of 45,000 also increases in parallel with clotting activity. Factor IXCH and normal Factor IX (Factor IXN), after incubation with Factor XIa and calcium, were subjected to amino terminal sequence analysis. Activated Factor IXN is cleaved at an arginine-alanine (Arg-Ala) bond and an arginine-valine (Arg-Val) bond as demonstrated by formation of the three amino terminal sequences corresponding to the amino terminal of the light chain, heavy chain, and activation peptide. However, activated Factor IXCH has only two amino terminal sequences, co...Continue Reading
