Abstract

It has been demonstrated that a unique pentasaccharide fragment of heparin (H5) activates AT by exposing an exosite on the serpin that is a recognition site for interaction with the basic autolysis loop (residues 143-154) of fXa. In support of this, the substitution of Arg-150 of fXa with Ala (R150A) impaired the reactivity of the mutant with AT by 1 order of magnitude specifically in the presence H5. To understand the mechanism by which heparin activation of AT improves the reactivity of the serpin with fXa, the H5-catalyzed reaction of AT with fXa, fXa R150A, and fXa S195A was studied using rapid kinetic, surface plasmon resonance, and competitive binding methods. The pseudo-first-order rate constants for the H5-catalyzed AT inhibition of both fXa and fXa R150A exhibited a linear dependence on the serpin concentration, thereby yielding second-order rate constants of 1.0 x 10(6) and 1.5 x 10(5) M(-)(1) s(-)(1), respectively. On the other hand, an approximately 70-saccharide, high-affinity heparin-catalyzed AT inhibition of both fXa derivatives showed a saturable dependence on the inhibitor concentration, yielding an identical rate constant of approximately 20 s(-)(1), but different ternary fXa-heparin-AT dissociation constants...Continue Reading

Ataxia telangiectasia (MDS)

Ataxia telangiectasia is a rare neurodegenerative diseases caused by defects in the ATM gene, which is involved in DNA damage recognition and repair pathways. Here is the latest research on this autosomal recessive disease.
