Molecular mapping of the heparin-binding exosite of thrombin.
Thrombin contains electropositive patches at opposite poles of the molecule which represent potential exosites for the binding of macromolecular ligands. The function of anion-binding exosite I, the fibrin(ogen) recognition site, has been well described. Anion-binding exosite II, located near the carboxyl terminus of the molecule, has been proposed to bind heparin on the basis of chemical modif...
متن کاملFucosylated chondroitin sulfate inhibits plasma thrombin generation via targeting of the factor IXa heparin-binding exosite.
Depolymerized holothurian glycosaminoglycan (DHG) is a fucosylated chondroitin sulfate with antithrombin-independent antithrombotic properties. Heparin cofactor II (HCII)-dependent and -independent mechanisms for DHG inhibition of plasma thrombin generation were evaluated. When thrombin generation was initiated with 0.2 pM tissue factor (TF), the half maximal effective concentration (EC(50)) fo...
متن کاملMolecular mapping of the thrombin-heparin cofactor II complex.
We used 55 Ala-scanned recombinant thrombin molecules to define residues important for inhibition by the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) heparin cofactor II (HCII) in the absence and presence of glycosaminoglycans. We verified the importance of numerous basic residues in anion-binding exosite-1 (exosite-1) and found 4 additional residues, Gln24, Lys65, His66, and Tyr71 (using the thrombin nu...
متن کاملLocalization of the heparin binding exosite of factor IXa.
Factor IXa (FIXa) is known to have a binding site for heparin that has not been mapped by a mutagenesis study. By homology modeling based on structural data, we identified eight basic residues in the catalytic domain of FIXa that can potentially bind to heparin. These residues, Lys(98), Lys(126), Arg(165), Arg(170), Lys(173), Lys(230), Arg(233), and Lys(239) (chymotrypsin numbering) were substi...
