Abstract

The hydrophobic omega-loop within the prothrombin gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-rich (Gla) domain is important in membrane binding. The role of this region in membrane binding was investigated using a synthetic peptide, PT-(1-46)F4W, which includes the N-terminal 46 residues of human prothrombin with Phe-4 replaced by Trp providing a fluorescent probe. PT-(1-46)F4W and PT-(1-46) bind calcium ions and phospholipid membranes, and inhibit the prothrombinase complex. PT-(1-46)F4W, but not PT-(1-46), exhibits a blue shift (5 nm) and red-edge excitation shift (28 nm) in the presence of phosphatidylserine (PS)-containing vesicles, suggesting Trp-4 is located within the motionally restricted membrane interfacial region. PS-containing vesicles protect PT-(1-46)F4W, but not PT-(1-46), fluorescence from potassium iodide-induced quenching. Stern-Volmer analysis of the quenching of PT-(1-46)F4W in the presence and absence of 80% phosphatidylcholine/20% PS vesicles suggested that Trp-4 is positioned within the membrane and protected from aqueous quenching agents whereas Trp-41 remains solvent-accessible in the presence of PS-containing vesicles. Fluorescence quenching of membrane-bound PT-(1-46)F4W is optimal with 7- and 10-doxyl-labeled lipids...Continue Reading
