Molecular 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 کاملSucrose octasulfate selectively accelerates thrombin inactivation by heparin cofactor II.
Inactivation of thrombin (T) by the serpins heparin cofactor II (HCII) and antithrombin (AT) is accelerated by a heparin template between the serpin and thrombin exosite II. Unlike AT, HCII also uses an allosteric interaction of its NH(2)-terminal segment with exosite I. Sucrose octasulfate (SOS) accelerated thrombin inactivation by HCII but not AT by 2000-fold. SOS bound to two sites on thromb...
متن کاملHeparin cofactor II thrombin complex as a biomarker for mucopolysaccharidosis: Indian experience.
BACKGROUND Serum heparin cofactor II-thrombin complex (HCII-T) is an emerging biomarker for mucopolysaccharidosis disease (MPS I and MPS II). METHODS Seventeen cases (6 MPS I and 11 MPS II) and sixty healthy controls were enrolled in study, conducted from September 2008 to December 2012. The mean ± SD age of MPS1 (n=6, 5 males) and MPS II was 7.02 ± 3.25 and 5.2 ± 2.15 years, respectively. Di...
متن کاملMolecular 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 کاملMutagenesis of thrombin selectively modulates inhibition by serpins heparin cofactor II and antithrombin III. Interaction with the anion-binding exosite determines heparin cofactor II specificity.
Thrombin is a multifunctional serine protease that plays a critical role in hemostasis. Thrombin is inhibited by the serpins antithrombin III and heparin cofactor II in a reaction that is dramatically accelerated by glycosaminoglycans. The structural basis of the interaction with these inhibitors was investigated by introducing single amino acid substitutions into the anion-binding exosite (R68...
