Abstract
Tissue factor (TF) is an integral membrane protein cofactor for factor VIIa (fVIIa) that initiates the blood coagulation cascade during vascular injury. TF has two fibrinonectin type III-like domains, both of which make extensive interactions with both the light and heavy chains of fVIIa. In addition to interaction with fVIIa, the membrane proximal C-terminal domain of TF is also known to bind the natural substrates factors IX and X, thereby facilitating their assembly and recognition by fVIIa in the activation complex. Both fVIIa and TF are elongated proteins, and their complex appears to be positioned nearly perpendicular to the membrane surface. It is possible that, similar to fVIIa, the N-terminal domain of TF also contacts the natural substrates. To investigate this possibility, we substituted all 23 basic and acidic residues of the N-terminal domain of TF with Ala or Asn and expressed the mutants as soluble TF(2-219) in a novel expression/purification vector system in the periplasmic space of bacteria. Following purification to homogeneity, the cofactor properties of mutants in promoting the amidolytic and proteolytic activity of fVIIa were analyzed in appropriate kinetic assays. The amidolytic activity assays indicated t...Continue Reading
