The intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of the coagulation cascade converge to a common step where the prothrombinase complex, comprising the enzyme factor Xa (fXa), the cofactor fVa, Ca2+ and phospholipids, activates the zymogen prothrombin to the protease thrombin. The reaction entails cleavage at 2 sites, R271 and R320, generating the intermediates prethrombin 2 and meizothrombin, respectively. The molecular basis of these interactions that are central to hemostasis remains elusive. We solved 2 ...[more]

Cryo-EM structure of the prothrombin-prothrombinase complex.

Project description:The intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of the coagulation cascade converge to a common step where the prothrombinase complex, comprising the enzyme factor Xa (fXa), the cofactor fVa, Ca2+ and phospholipids, activates the zymogen prothrombin to the protease thrombin. The reaction entails cleavage at 2 sites, R271 and R320, generating the intermediates prethrombin 2 and meizothrombin, respectively. The molecular basis of these interactions that are central to hemostasis remains elusive. We solved 2 cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the fVa-fXa complex, 1 free on nanodiscs at 5.3-Å resolution and the other bound to prothrombin at near atomic 4.1-Å resolution. In the prothrombin-fVa-fXa complex, the Gla domains of fXa and prothrombin align on a plane with the C1 and C2 domains of fVa for interaction with membranes. Prothrombin and fXa emerge from this plane in curved conformations that bring their protease domains in contact with each other against the A2 domain of fVa. The 672ESTVMATRKMHDRLEPEDEE691 segment of the A2 domain closes on the protease domain of fXa like a lid to fix orientation of the active site. The 696YDYQNRL702 segment binds to prothrombin and establishes the pathway of activation by sequestering R271 against D697 and directing R320 toward the active site of fXa. The cryo-EM structure provides a molecular view of prothrombin activation along the meizothrombin pathway and suggests a mechanism for cleavage at the alternative R271 site. The findings advance our basic knowledge of a key step of coagulation and bear broad relevance to other interactions in the blood.

CryoTransformer: A Transformer Model for Picking Protein Particles from Cryo-EM Micrographs.

Project description:Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful technique for determining the structures of large protein complexes. Picking single protein particles from cryo-EM micrographs (images) is a crucial step in reconstructing protein structures from them. However, the widely used template-based particle picking process requires some manual particle picking and is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Though machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) can potentially automate particle picking, the current AI methods pick particles with low precision or low recall. The erroneously picked particles can severely reduce the quality of reconstructed protein structures, especially for the micrographs with low signal-to-noise (SNR) ratios. To address these shortcomings, we devised CryoTransformer based on transformers, residual networks, and image processing techniques to accurately pick protein particles from cryo-EM micrographs. CryoTransformer was trained and tested on the largest labelled cryo-EM protein particle dataset - CryoPPP. It outperforms the current state-of-the-art machine learning methods of particle picking in terms of the resolution of 3D density maps reconstructed from the picked particles as well as F1-score and is poised to facilitate the automation of the cryo-EM protein particle picking.

Coma-corrected rapid single-particle cryo-EM data collection on the CRYO ARM 300.

Project description:Single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy has recently become a major method for determining the structures of proteins and protein complexes. This has markedly increased the demand for throughput of high-resolution electron microscopes, which are required to produce high-resolution images at high rates. An increase in data-collection throughput can be achieved by using large beam-image shifts combined with off-axis coma correction, enabling the acquisition of multiple images from a large area of the EM grid without moving the microscope stage. Here, the optical properties of the JEOL CRYO ARM 300 electron microscope equipped with a K3 camera were characterized under off-axis illumination conditions. It is shown that efficient coma correction can be achieved for beam-image shifts with an amplitude of at least 10 µm, enabling a routine throughput for data collection of between 6000 and 9000 images per day. Use of the benchmark for the rapid data-collection procedure (with beam-image shifts of up to 7 µm) on apoferritin resulted in a reconstruction at a resolution of 1.7 Å. This demonstrates that the rapid automated acquisition of high-resolution micrographs is possible using a CRYO ARM 300.

Down regulation of prothrombinase by activated protein C during prothrombin activation.

Project description:Activated protein C (aPC) proteolytically inactivates factor Va (FVa) and thereby downregulates prothrombinase. Although FVa inactivation by aPC has been studied extensively, the inactivation of prothrombinase during prothrombin activation has not. Therefore, prothrombin activation initiated both without and with aPC (5.0, 7.5 or 10.0 nM) was monitored over time by fluorescence. The experiments were performed with 0.075 nM FVa and 1.0 nM FXa, and with these concentrations reversed. The time courses of the residual prothrombinase activity with aPC, determined from the slopes of fluorescence over time, were pseudo first order with both limiting and excess FVa. With FVa limiting or in excess, the second rate constants for inactivation of prothrombinase were 1.98 +/- 0.09 x 10(5) M(-1)s(-1) and 2.54 +/- 0.13 x 10(5) M(-1)s(-1), respectively. The former value is 101-fold smaller than that for FVa inactivation by aPC alone. Since with limiting FVa the second order rate constants for prothrombinase inactivation and FVa inactivation are equal, FVa is protected 101-fold, presumably by both FXa and prothrombin. In contrast, with excess FVa, the calculated rate constant for FVa inactivation exceeds that for prothrombinase inactivation 17.3-fold, which reflects a loss of protection by FXa. Since the protective effects of the two proteins are theoretically multiplicative, FXa protected 17.3-fold and prothrombin protected 5.8-fold. With 150 nM protein S and limiting FVa, prothrombinase inactivation was two-fold faster, yet it was still protected 91-fold. These studies show that FVa is down-regulated by aPC during prothrombin activation, but both FXa and prothrombin protect FVa in a multiplicative way, with or without protein S.

Active site-labeled prothrombin inhibits prothrombinase in vitro and thrombosis in vivo.

Project description:Mouse and human prothrombin (ProT) active site specifically labeled with D-Phe-Pro-Arg-CH(2)Cl (FPR-ProT) inhibited tissue factor-initiated thrombin generation in platelet-rich and platelet-poor mouse and human plasmas. FPR-prethrombin 1 (Pre 1), fragment 1 (F1), fragment 1.2 (F1.2), and FPR-thrombin produced no significant inhibition, demonstrating the requirement for all three ProT domains. Kinetics of inhibition of ProT activation by the inactive ProT(S195A) mutant were compatible with competitive inhibition as an alternate nonproductive substrate, although FPR-ProT deviated from this mechanism, implicating a more complex process. FPR-ProT exhibited ∼10-fold more potent anticoagulant activity compared with ProT(S195A) as a result of conformational changes in the ProT catalytic domain that induce a more proteinase-like conformation upon FPR labeling. Unlike ProT and ProT(S195A), the pathway of FPR-ProT cleavage by prothrombinase was redirected from meizothrombin toward formation of the FPR-prethrombin 2 (Pre 2)·F1.2 inhibitory intermediate. Localization of ProT labeled with Alexa Fluor® 660 tethered through FPR-CH(2)Cl ([AF660]FPR-ProT) during laser-induced thrombus formation in vivo in murine arterioles was examined in real time wide-field and confocal fluorescence microscopy. [AF660]FPR-ProT bound rapidly to the vessel wall at the site of injury, preceding platelet accumulation, and subsequently to the thrombus proximal, but not distal, to the vessel wall. [AF660]FPR-ProT inhibited thrombus growth, whereas [AF660]FPR-Pre 1, lacking the F1 membrane-binding domain did not bind or inhibit. Labeled F1.2 localized similarly to [AF660]FPR-ProT, indicating binding to phosphatidylserine-rich membranes, but did not inhibit thrombosis. The studies provide new insight into the mechanism of ProT activation in vivo and in vitro, and the properties of a unique exosite-directed prothrombinase inhibitor.
