Interaction of Factor IXa with Factor VIIIa

We previously identified a high affinity Ca²⁺ binding site in the protease domain of factor IXa involving Glu²³⁵ (Glu⁷⁰ in chymotrypsinogen numbering; hereafter, the numbers in brackets refer to the chymotrypsin equivalents) and Glu²⁴⁵[80] as putative ligands. To delineate the function of this Ca²⁺ binding site, we expressed IX_{wild type} (IX_WT), IX_E235K, and IX_E245V in 293 kidney cells and compared their properties with those of factor IX isolated from normal plasma (IX_NP); each protein had the same M_r and -carboxyglutamic acid content. Activation of each factor IX protein by factor VIIa·Ca²⁺·tissue factor was normal as analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis. The coagulant activity of IXa_WT was ~93%, of IXa_E235K was ~27%, and of IXa_E245V was ~4% compared with that of IXa_NP. In contrast, activation by factor XIa·Ca²⁺ led to proteolysis at Arg³¹⁸-Ser³¹⁹[150-151] in the protease domain autolysis loop of IXa_E245V with a concomitant loss of coagulant activity; this proteolysis was moderate in IXa_E235K and minimal in IXa_WT or IXa_NP. Interaction of each activated mutant with an active site probe, p-aminobenzamidine, was also examined; the K_d of interaction in the absence and presence (in parentheses) of Ca²⁺ was: IXa_NP or IXa_WT 230 µM (78 µM), IXa_E235K 150 µM (145 µM), IXa_E245V 225 µM (240 µM), and autolysis loop cleaved IXa_E245V 330 µM (350 µM). Next, we evaluated the apparent K_d (K_d,app) of interaction of each activated mutant with factor VIIIa. We first investigated the EC₅₀ of interaction of IXa_NP as well as of IXa_WT with factor VIIIa in the presence and absence of phospholipid (PL) and varying concentrations of factor X. At each factor X concentration and constant factor VIIIa, EC₅₀ was the free IXa_NP or IXa_WT concentration that yielded a half-maximal rate of factor Xa generation. EC₅₀ values for IXa_NP and IXa_WT were similar and are as follows: PL-minus/X-minus (extrapolated), 2.8 µM; PL-minus/X-saturating, 0.25 µM; PLplus/X-minus, 1.6 nM; and PL-plus/X-saturating, 0.09 nM. Further, K_d,app of binding of active site-blocked factor IXa to factor VIIIa was calculated from its ability to inhibit IXa_WT in the Tenase assay. K_d,app values in the absence and presence (in parentheses) of PL were: IXa_NP or IXa_WT, 0.19 µM (0.07 nM); IXa_E235K, 0.68 µM (0.26 nM); IXa_E245V, 2.5 µM (1.35 nM); and autolysis loop-cleaved IXa_E245V, 15.6 µM (14.3 nM). We conclude that (a) PL increases the apparent affinity of factor IXa for factor VIIIa ~2,000-fold, and the substrate, factor X, increases this affinity ~10-15-fold; (b) the protease domain Ca²⁺ binding site increases this affinity ~15-fold, and lysine at position 235 only partly substitutes for Ca²⁺; (c) Ca²⁺ binding to the protease domain increases the S1 reactivity ~3-fold and prevents proteolysis in the autolysis loop; and (d) proteolysis in the autolysis loop leads to a loss of catalytic efficiency with retention of S1 binding site and a further ~8-fold reduction in affinity of factor IXa for factor VIIIa.
