X-ray structure of antistasin at 1.9 A resolution and its modelled complex with blood coagulation factor Xa.
The three-dimensional structure of antistasin, a potent inhibitor of blood coagulation factor Xa, from the Mexican leech Haementeria officinalis was determined at 1.9 A resolution by X-ray crystallography. The structure reveals a novel protein fold composed of two homologous domains, each resembling the structure of hirustasin, a related 55-residue protease inhibitor. However, hirustasin has a ...
متن کاملGroup D prothrombin activators from snake venom are structural homologues of mammalian blood coagulation factor Xa.
Procoagulant venoms of several Australian elapids contain proteinases that specifically activate prothrombin; among these, Group D activators are functionally similar to coagulation factor Xa (FXa). Structural information on this class of prothrombin activators will contribute significantly towards understanding the mechanism of FXa-mediated prothrombin activation. Here we present the purificat...
متن کاملFacts and artefacts of coagulation assays for factor Xa inhibitors.
Direct factor Xa inhibitors are among the compounds at the forefront of clinical development for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disorders; of these, rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban (DU-176b) are in the most advanced stages of development. Rivaroxaban is approved in several countries for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after elective hip or knee arthroplasty, an...
متن کاملInteraction of coagulation factor Xa with human platelets.
When human 125I-labeled Factor Xa is incubated with washed platelets, prothrombin, and Ca2+, a small amount of thrombin is formed which causes the platelet release reaction after a period of time that decreases as the Xa concentration is increased from 0.9 to 19 ng/ml. After a further lag period, the Xa binds reversibly to receptors on the platelet surface and rapid thrombin formation follows (...
متن کاملInhibition of Factor VIta / Tissue Factor - Induced Blood Coagulation : With Particular Emphasis Upon a Factor Xa - Dependent Inhibitory Mechanism
T HREE ENZYME/COFACTOR complexes form on cell surfaces in tightly regulated reactions during normal blood coagulation in vivo. The enzymes of these complexes, factor VIla, factor IXa, and factor Xa, are ancestrally related serine proteases that are members of the vitamin K-dependent group of clotting factors. Each is generated during blood coagulation by limited proteolysis of a zymogen precurs...
