| Abstract | Human blood coagulation Factor V (FV) is a plasma protein with little procoagulant activity. Limited proteolysis at Arg(709), Arg(1018), and Arg(1545) by thrombin or Factor Xa (FXa) results in the generation of activated FV, which serves as a cofactor of FXa in prothrombin activation. Both thrombin exosites I and II have been reported to be involved in FV activation, but the relative importance of these regions in the individual cleavages remains unclear. To investigate the role of each exosite in FV activation, we have used recombinant FV molecules with only one of the three activation cleavage sites available, in combination with exosite I- or II-specific aptamers. In addition, structural requirements for exosite interactions located in the B-domain of FV were probed using FV B-domain deletion mutants and comparison with FV activating enzymes from the venom of Russell's viper (RVV-V) and of Levant's viper (LVV-V) known to activate FV by specific cleavage at Arg(1545). Our results indicate that thrombin exosite II is not involved in cleavage at Arg(709) and that both thrombin exosites are important for recognition and cleavage at Arg(1545). Efficient thrombin-catalyzed FV activation requires both the N- and C-terminal regions of the B-domain, whereas only the latter is required by RVV-V and LVV-V. This indicates that proteolysis of FV by thrombin at Arg(709), Arg(1018), and Arg(1545) show different cleavage requirements with respect to interactions mediated by thrombin exosites and areas that surround the respective cleavage sites. In addition, interactions between exosite I of thrombin and FV are primarily responsible for the different cleavage site specificity as compared with activation by RVV-V or LVV-V. |

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.
