The thrombin-sensitive region of protein S mediates phospholipid-dependent interaction with factor Xa.

ABSTRACT: To test the hypothesis that factor Xa (fXa) interacts with protein S, fXa was labeled active-site specifically with a dansyl (D) dye via a Glu-Gly-Arg (EGR) tether to yield DEGR-fXa(i). When protein S was added to phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylserine (PC/PS, 4:1) vesicle-bound DEGR-fXa(i), the anisotropy of the dansyl moiety was altered from 0.219 +/- 0.002 to 0.245 +/- 0.003. This change in dansyl anisotropy was not observed when DEGR-Xa(i) was titrated with protein S in the absence of PC/PS vesicles, or in the presence of 100% PC vesicles, or when PC/PS vesicle-bound DEGR-fXa(i) was titrated with thrombin-cleaved protein S. The protein S-dependent dansyl fluorescence change was specific for fXa because it was not observed for two homologous and similarly labeled DEGR-fIXa(i) and DEGR-fVIIa(i). Furthermore, protein S specifically and saturably altered the fluorescence anisotropy of PC/PS-bound active site-labeled LWB-FPR-fXa(i) (Kd = 33 nm) and was photocross-linked to PC/PS-bound LWB-FPR-fXa(i) analog, independently confirming the above results. Chemically synthesized microprotein S, comprising residues 1-116 of protein S and including the gamma-carboxyglutamic-rich domain, the thrombin-sensitive region (TSR), and the first epidermal growth factor-like domain (EGF1) of protein S, altered the anisotropy of PC/PS-bound DEGR-fXa(i) from 0.219 to 0.242, similar to the effect of the protein S titration (Kd = 303 nm), suggesting that microprotein S binds to DEGR-fXa(i). To identify individual protein S domain(s) that binds DEGR-fXa(i), the EGF1 and TSR domains were chemically synthesized and studied. The TSR altered the anisotropy of DEGR-fXa(i) by approximately 16% (Kd = 3.9 microm), but the EGF1 domain had no effect on the signal. In controls, the TSR domain did not alter the anisotropy of DEGR-fIXa(i) and DEGR-fVIIa(i), respectively. These data demonstrate that membrane-bound fXa binding to protein S involves the TSR of protein S.

Project description:Effects of polyamines on various protein kinases were investigated. It was found that both phospholipid-sensitive Ca2+-dependent protein kinase and myosin light-chain kinase (a calmodulin-sensitive species of Ca2+-dependent protein kinase) were inhibited to different degrees by polyamines, with an approximate order of inhibitory potency of spermine = 1, 12-diaminododecane greater than spermidine = 1, 10-diaminodecane much greater than cadaverine = putrescine. Kinetic analysis revealed that spermine inhibited the phospholipid-sensitive enzyme non-competitively with respect to Ca2+ (Ki = 0.84 mM) and phosphatidylserine (Ki = 0.90 mM); it also inhibited myosin light-chain kinase non-competitively with respect to Ca2+ (Ki = 1.82 mM) and calmodulin (Ki = 2.73 mM). 1, 12-Diaminododecane, in comparison, inhibited the phospholipid-sensitive enzyme competitively with respect to Ca2+ (Ki = 0.45 mM) and phosphatidylserine (Ki = 0.50 mM); it also inhibited myosin light-chain kinase competitively with respect to calmodulin (Ki = 0.63 mM) but non-competitively with respect to Ca2+ (Ki = 1.49 mM). Moreover, spermine (0.5 mM) was found to inhibit markedly phosphatidylserine/Ca2+- and calmodulin/Ca2+-stimulated phosphorylation of endogenous proteins in rat brain particulate fraction. All the polyamines tested were practically without effect on cyclic AMP-dependent and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinases. Polyarginine, like spermine, was found to be a more selective inhibitor of Ca2+-dependent protein kinases, whereas polyglutamate preferentially inhibited the cyclic nucleotide-dependent enzymes. The present results indicated that, in addition to certain lipophilic compounds (such as trifluoperazine, palmitoylcarnitine, adriamycin and naphthalenesulphonamide) and polypeptides with hydrophobic regions (such as melittin and polymyxin B) previously reported, polycationic compounds (exemplified by polyamines) could also inhibit the two classes of Ca2+-dependent protein kinases requiring either phospholipid or calmodulin as a cofactor. Because of the high cellular concentration (up to 10 mM) and the differential effects of polyamines, it is suggested that spermine, and to smaller extents spermidine and putrescine, may be involved in the regulation of certain Ca2+-dependent protein-phosphorylation systems in vivo.
