Influence of cofactor binding and active site occupancy on the conformation of the macromolecular substrate exosite of factor VIIa

Abstract

The catalytic activity of the trypsin-like serine protease coagulation factor VIIa is allosterically regulated. In this work, we employed monoclonal antibodies as probes to analyze conformational changes in the VII protease domain that are induced by zymogen activation, cofactor tissue factor (TF) binding, and active site occupancy. The epitopes of three monoclonal antibodies were mapped using a panel of 57 individual alanine replacement mutants in the protease domain. Two of the antibodies had typical "hot spot" epitopes in a basic cluster above the active site cleft and antibody binding to these epitopes was not affected by zymogen activation, TF binding, or active site occupancy. In contrast, the binding kinetics of VII/VIIa to a monoclonal antibody that mapped to an extended epitope overlapping with the macromolecular substrate exosite was affected by each of the conformational transitions of the VIIa protease domain. The changes in antibody affinity are consistent with a transition from zymogen VII to the TF.VIIa complex, with free enzyme VIIa as an intermediate that retains some zymogen-like features responsible for its low catalytic activity. In contrast, active site occupancy resulted in effects that were qualitatively ...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
