| Abstract | The Fab fragment of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) reactive to the N-terminal half (residues 180-310) of the protease domain of human factor IX has been previously shown to inhibit the binding of factor IXa to its cofactor, factor VIIIa. These data suggested that this segment of factor IXa may participate in binding to factor VIIIa. We now report that the binding rate (kon) of the mAb is 3-fold higher in the presence of Ca2+ than in its absence for both factors IX and IXa; the half-maximal effect was observed at approximately 300 microM Ca2+. Furthermore, the off rate (koff) of the mAb is 10-fold higher for factor IXa than for factor IX with or without Ca2+. Moreover, like the kon for mAb binding, the incorporation of dansyl-Glu-Gly-Arg chloromethyl ketone (dEGR-CK) into factor IXa was approximately 3 times faster in the presence of Ca2+ than in its absence. Since steric factors govern the kon and the strength of noncovalent interactions governs the koff, the data indicate that the region of factor IX at residues 180-310 undergoes two separate conformational changes before expression of its biologic activity: one upon Ca2+ binding and the other upon zymogen activation. Furthermore, the dEGF-CK incorporation data suggest that both conformational changes also affect the active site residues. Analyses of the known three-dimensional structures of serine proteases indicate that in human factor IX a high-affinity Ca(2+)-binding site may be formed by the carboxyl groups of glutamates 235 and 245 and by the main chain carbonyl oxygens of residues 237 and 240. In support of this conclusion, a synthetic peptide including residues 231-265 was shown to bind Ca2+ with a Kd of approximately 500 microM. This peptide also bound to the mAb, although with approximately 500-fold reduced affinity. Moreover, like factor IX, the peptide bound to the mAb more strongly (approximately 3-fold) in the presence of Ca2+ than in its absence. Thus, it appears that a part of the epitope for the mAb described above is contained in the proposed Ca(2+)-binding site in the protease domain of human factor IX. This proposed site is analogous to the Ca(2+)-binding site in trypsin and elastase, and it may be involved in binding factor IXa to factor VIIIa. |

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.
