| Abstract | Factor XI (FXI) is a homodimeric blood coagulation protein. Each monomer comprises four tandem apple-domain repeats (A1-A4) and a serine protease domain. We report here the NMR solution structure of the A4 domain (residues 272-361), which mediates formation of the disulfide-linked FXI dimer. A4 exhibits characteristic features of the plasminogen apple nematode domain family, including a five-stranded beta-sheet flanked by an alpha-helix on one side and a two-stranded beta-sheet on the other. In addition, the solution structure reveals a second alpha-helix at the C terminus. Comparison with a recent crystal structure of full-length FXI, combined with molecular modeling, suggests that the C-terminal helix is formed only upon proteolytic activation. The newly formed helix disrupts interdomain contacts and reorients the catalytic domains, bringing the active sites into close proximity. This hypothesis is supported by small-angle x-ray scattering and electron microscopy data, which indicate that FXI activation is accompanied by a major change in shape. The results are consistent with biochemical evidence that activated FXI cleaves its substrate at two positions without release of an intermediate. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
