Abstract

The conversion of prothrombin to thrombin by factor Xa is the penultimate step in the blood clotting cascade. In vivo, where the conversion occurs primarily on activated platelets in association with factor Va and Ca2+ ions, meizothrombin is the major intermediate of the two step reaction. Meizothrombin rapidly loses the fragment 1 domain (F1) by autolysis to become meizothrombin des F1 (mzTBN-F1). The physiological properties of mzTBN-F1 differ dramatically from those of thrombin due to the presence of prothrombin fragment 2 (F2), which remains covalently attached to the activated thrombin domain in mzTBN-F1. The crystal structure of mzTBN-F1 has been determined at 3.1 A resolution by molecular replacement, using only the thrombin domain, and refined to R and Rfree values of 0.205 and 0.242, respectively. The protease active site was inhibited with D-Phe-Pro-Arg-chloromethylketone (PPACK) to reduce autolysis. The mobile linker chain connecting the so-called kringle and thrombin domains and the first two N-acetylglucosamine residues attached to the latter were seen in electron-density maps improved with the program SQUASH. Previously these regions had only been modeled. The F2 kringle domain in mzTBN-F1 is bound to the electrop...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.
